WWE RAW REPORT: THE MATCH YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WANTED AT MANIA IS OFFICIAL, WOMEN'S TAG TITLE MATCH, CODY GOING TO SMACKDOWN, JOHN CENA COMING TO RAW NEXT WEEK, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-02-27 23:00:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick.

We see Lita and Becky Lynch arriving at the building earlier tonight.

We take a look back at what happened between Jimmy and Jey Uso on Smackdown, and Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa's involvement.

Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa make their way to the ring.

Jimmy says The Bloodline is in their city.  He says he knows what you are thinking.  You are talking about how there are problems in the Bloodline and that there are cracks.  From the outside, it looks that way, but you know that family fights all the time.  Jimmy says if you come for one member of the Bloodline, you come for all members of the Bloodline.  Let's see who came after the Bloodline.  Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble.  Did he get one on the Bloodline?  Nope.  Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber.  Did he get one on the Bloodline in his home town?  Nope.  Now, Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania.  Will he get one on Roman Reigns?  Hell No.  

Roman will be here on Friday to remind everyone who runs Smackdown.  Tonight, him and his little brother will remind everyone who runs Raw.

The Street Profits interrupt and make their way to the stage.

Montez tells Dawkins it is the Bloodline and Dawkins is impressed.  We have Solo and Dawkins says Solo has to let the bunions breathe.  They mention Jimmy.  Ford asks where is Jey and he calls for Jey to come from the back.  Dawkins says that Jey comes through the crowd.  Ford says he can't blame Jey for not being here because it is tiring to be the bridge that holds the Bloodline together.  Ford asks how can you run Raw if you can't control your family.  You come to Raw to fill your absent Chief's order.

Jimmy points out that Ford has been bodied by the Bloodline.  He tells Ford to keep Roman's name out of his mouth, or else.

Ford and Dawkins say they want the smoke and they punch Solo and Jimmy.

We take a look back at the end of the Lesnar and Lashley match from Elimination Chamber and MVP's challenge to Lesnar for Wrestlemania.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring.  

Brock takes a seat in the ring as he waits for MVP and Omos to make their way to the ring.

MVP makes his way to the ring first.  

He says when he invited Brock to answer the challenge this wasn't how he planned it.

Brock says hello to Michigan and he apologizes for being early.  Brock invited Porter to enter his set and Porter says he is okay.

Lesnar says he has no beef with Porter.  Brock is all about business.  

Porter asks Brock to continue.

Brock says he is here to listen to Porter in this beautiful MVP Lounge.  He wants to hear Porter sell the people and him a fight.  

Porter wants to make sure they are here to talk business and that he is not going to Suplex City.

Brock says no suplexes tonight so Porter graciously enters the ring.

Brock says he wants to hear this first hand because he is a coward.  Brock says Porter did not insult him last week and he cannot insult him tonight.  Brock wants to be sold this fight.  He tells Porter to do what he does best.  Brock says he came here to possibly do business.

Porter says Brock is the Beast Incarnate and when he put his hands on a man, that man has no chance.  If Brock takes a man to Suplex City, they are in a world of hurt.  If Brock hits an F-5 that man has no chance.  You had your hands full with Bobby Lashley and I wasn't in your corner.  You didn't have your way with Bobby Lashley but you think you can have your way with Omos?  When you put your hands on a giant, that giant puts his hands on you.  The issue we have here is The Beast can destroy any man, but a Giant will subdue and conquer any beast.  You can suplex or F-5 any man, but you cannot do it to a Nigerian Giant named Omos.

Brock gets up and he says that was good and he got goosebumps.  Brock high fives Porter on his sales pitch.  Brock says that was damn good.  Brock says he accepts Porter's challenge.  Brock says we should shake on it and drink on it.

Porter suggests a toast to Brock Lesnar and Omos at Wrestlemania.  

They shake hands and Porter says it is time to pop a bottle.

Brock says Porter is a baller and a hypester.  Brock says he is farmer and he grows the good stuff.  If we are going to have a toast, we are going to drink the good stuff.  Brock pulls out a flask.  

Brock takes a drink and he hands it to Porter.  Porter says he would rather drink the champagne.  

Brock is not happy about that decision and he tells Porter he ain't going to make him drink alone.  Porter takes the flask and he asks what is it that they are drinking.  Brock says it is White Lightning.

Porter drinks it and spits it on Brock.

Porter realizes he has made a mistake as Brock enters that third level on the Brock Lesnar color wheel.

Brock puts his flask back in his shirt pocket and Brock picks up Porter for an F-5.

Cathy Kelley is with Lita and Becky Lynch in the back.

Cathy asks them about their match later tonight and their preparation for tonight.  

Lita says some of her most favorite highlights have been with some of the greatest tag teams, it will mean a lot to walk out as tag team champion.  Becky says it has been a secret bucket list item for her to win the tag titles.  She says she does not play well with others, but there is no one she respects or admires more than Lita.  Bayley can get involved, but they will take care of her.

Cody Rhodes walks in the back as we go to commercial.
