WWE RAW REPORT: WHO FACES BIANCA AT HELL IN A CELL?, WHO IS WRESTLING IN HELL IN A CELL AT HELL IN A CELL?, A STEEL CAGE MATCH, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2022-05-16 23:00:00

Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Cody says he was told that Seth Rollins is not here.  While he is surrounded by lovers in Virginia, he hopes that Seth is listening.  I tried to move on from our feud but Seth poured gasoline on him.  Seth said that Cody would not take anything from him again.  What did he take?  Was it two victories, a victory bonus?  Seth's biggest obstacle is himself.  Seth is busy trying to pull him into this.  Cody says in 2012, Seth shows up in WWE SHIELDED up.  Cody says he was one of the bitter boys in the back.  He quickly won tag team gold and he shattered the glass ceiling.  Seth won his way to the top.  

Cody says his story is a little different.  He didn't win.  He says he didn't win that much until recently.  I scratched, I crawled, and I painted my face with a smile but I was dead inside.  I endured.  You learn so much from loss.  You learn to live and love and how to reinvent yourself.  The number one thing I learned is that I will never be the American Dream, so why not embrace the Nightmare.  You can say I lost my way to the top.  What this comes down to, is Seth's embarrassment over losing two matches outweigh his quest for vindication.  This is my second chance.  Everyone knows what it is like to have a second chance.  You don't take it for granted.  If you are going to take my second chance, you will have to kill me.

I will give you the chance.  Cody says they run it back and lock all the angst and play for keeps.  This time, for the third time, but inside Hell in a Cell.

Seth Rollins appears in the back while cackling and moving around like only Seth can (or should).  Seth says he wants to get this straight?  Stealing my spotlight wasn't enough for you?  Cheating to win at Backlash wasn't enough?  One stomp on an announce table and you want to face me one more time?  This time inside Hell in a Cell.  You must be stupider than you look.  This is the biggest mistake you have made in your life.  Anyone who steps in that cell with me is changed forever.  You already know my answer.  I am going to exploit every one of your insecurities and I am going to expose you for the fraud you are.  Rollins versus Rhodes III . . . I accept.

Seth cackles some more.

Cody says there is nothing more to say than I'll see you in hell.

Asuka is in the back and Sarah ambushes her to ask Asuka about her match against Becky for a chance to face Bianca.

Asuka calls Becky a Big Time Baby and she says she will give Becky a reason to cry, BECAUSE she's ready for the Raw Women's Champion and Becky Lynch is not ready for Asuka.

We are back and "Countdown to" Cody Rhodes will face Seth "Freakin" Rollins inside Hell in a Cell at Hell in a Cell.

Match Number Five:  Chad Gable (with Otis) versus Ezekiel

They lock up and Ezekiel backs Chad into the corner and Ezekiel with a clean break.  Chad gets Ezekiel to the mat and applies a waist lock.  Ezekiel with a flying shoulder tackle and chop followed by a forearm.  Chad with a take down into an arm bar.  Ezekiel with a side head lock and take down.   Chad with an arm drag but Ezekiel reverses into a side head lock.  Gable with a belly-to-back suplex.  Chad with a knee to the midsection and he gets a near fall.  Chad punches Ezekiel in the head.  Ezekiel blocks a hip toss and applies a Gory Special.  Chad with a sunset flip but Ezekiel rolls through and goes for the leg but Gable gets to the ropes.

Winner:  Ezekiel

R Truth is in the back with Tamina and Tamina wants to know what Truth is doing.  Truth says he knows that Tozawa is hiding.  To think like a Tozawa, you have to act like a Tozawa.  He serves Tozawa in a trash can.

Dana shows up and she thanks Truth for serving Reggie the divorce papers.  Truth says he wants to talk about some compensation and he wants his 24/7 title back.

Dana pushes Truth into a trash can and she 'runs' away.

Dana bumps into Carmella and Dana apologizes.

Carmella says Dana is a sorry excuse for a competitor and a wife.  Carmella says her husband can't get enough of her.  She says she is a real champion.

Dana tells Carmella the last time you were relevant was when the chinless guy was here.  She says Corey talks a big game but he can't back it up.

Truth asks Carmella for help getting his baby back.  She says she wants Dana.

Lacey Evans is introduced and she makes her way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Lacey says that she admires and respects the men and women of the Armed Forces.  She wants everyone to get off their butts to give them a round of applause with her.  Lacey thanks everyone for the warm return to Raw.  She is happy to be in the presence of members of the military.  I wanted to thank you for your service and everything you do for this country.  Finding the courage to fight is hard.  Finding the courage to change your circumstances to be successful is hard.

I am thankful to be here on Raw not only to show everyone that you have the ability to beat the cycle, but to show my baby girls that we can do it.  We have what it takes to make it.  We have what it takes to wake up, to work, and to win.  I may not be better than any of these superstars in the Raw locker room, but they are no better than me.

We see Riddle walking in the back in a smoke filled hallway and says nothing will stop him and Randy from unifying the tag titles on Friday.  

Jey says you got lucky tonight.  On Friday, the luck runs out.
