WWE RAW REPORT: CODY AND PAUL TALK AMERICAN DREAM, A CAGE MATCH, MORE QUALIFIERS FOR THE EC, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-02-06 23:00:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick.

Edge makes his way to the ring with Beth Phoenix.

We have a video package with the recent history between THE Judgment Day, Edge, and Beth Phoenix.

Edge says it is so damn good to be back.  He says there is one reason why they are here and it is THE Judgment Day.  He says THE Judgment Day is his fault.  The idea was to elevate talent he thought deserved it.  To be honest, it worked.  Everyone is in a better position now.  Finn Balor is on a level Edge has never seen him on before.  Damian Priest has proven that he is a workhorse who can go with the best.  Rhea Ripley went from #1 and outlasted everyone at the Rumble and she is going to face Charlotte Flair at Mania.  Dom's there too.  

For the last year, they have fought back and forth leading into Extreme Rules.  He knew Finn didn't have what it took to get him to say I Quit.  When Rhea hit Beth with the brass knuckles and she held that chair, he could not do anything to stop it.  Edge says he does not like being helpless.  Congratulations on your victory.  Edge says he is a cruel, vindictive bastard who will do anything to get his pound of flesh.

Beth says if you got the stones . . . Ripley and Balor . . . we are here to finish.

THE Judgment Day make their way to the stage, but Rhea is not there.

Finn asks if there is a pattern that you haven't noticed.  Edge makes his return only to be knocked down by THE Judgment Day again and again.  It might be time for you to say I Quit.  

Dom says word on the street travels fast that since they were gone, he served hard time.  You better run along before he does something that he learned on the inside, just like what he did to his deadbeat dad who didn't make it to the Royal Rumble.

Priest says Edge and Rey are something else.  You come back and they beat you down.  You still come back for more.  Priest says they make what happened at Extreme Rules seem like child's play.  Priest says after he enters the Elimination Chamber and he will become the US Champion again.

Dom says he wishes Mami was here so she could see what they are about to do to you.   Mami is traveling the world promoting Wrestlemania.

Edge tells Dom to shut up.  Everything he said about them is true.  You don't know what you want.  Priest, you didn't want a leader but you follow Balor around.  Finn, you are a dollar store version of Jamiroquai and it is virtual insanity.  Edge says him and Beth have each other's back.  Edge says he cannot wait until Rey 619s Dom's teeth down his throat.

Beth says they know Rhea isn't here because she speared Rhea's soul out of her body last week.  She didn't come here to talk.  She came here to beat Rhea Ripley's ass.  Since she isn't here, Edge and Beth Phoenix versus Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley at Elimination Chamber.

Finn asks Dom if Rhea is in.  Dom says Mami is in.  Finn says they accept, if both of you make it to Elimination Chamber.

THE Judgment Day circle the ring and Finn enters the ring but Edge throws his jacket at Finn and Edge punches him.  Priest and Finn attack Edge until the Street Profits come out.  Dawkins goes after Priest and Edge with a spear to Finn.

Dom watches in fear in the aisle and then Ford squeaks up on him and Dom is scared straight into the ring.  Beth with a Glam Slam to Dom.  

We go to commercial.

Match Number One:  Damian Priest versus Angelo Dawkins in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match

The match is joined in progress and Dawkins with a drop kick and he gets Priest up for a flapjack.  Dawkins goes for a dive to the floor but Priest moves.  Dawkins POUNCES Priest over the announce table.  Dawkins goes for the twisting splash into the corner but Priest with a forearm.  Priest sends Dawkins into the turnbuckles and follows with an Irish whip and elbow into the corner.  Priest with a Broken Arrow for a near fall.  Priest gets a near fall.  Priest with a rear chin lock.  Dawkins with punches and then he avoids punches from Priest and Dawkins with a punch and enzuigiri.  Priest is sent to the floor and Dawkins follows but he runs into a clothesline.   Priest with a suplex on the floor and he returns to the ring to break the count.  Priest goes back to the floor and he comes off the ring steps with a jumping thrust kick.

We go to commercial.

We are back and both men are down.  Dawkins with clotheslines and a flying back elbow.  Dawkins with a twisting splash and enzuigiri.  Dawkins goes for a butterfly slam but Priest escapes.  Dawkins with an exploder for a near fall.  Dawkins with a forearm and he goes to the turnbuckles.  Priest grabs Dawkins and Priest climbs the turnbuckles but Dawkins drops the arm on the top rope.  Priest with a thrust kick and a leaping flatliner for a near fall.  Priest sets for South of Heaven and Dawkins counters into Silencer for a near fall.  Dawkins pulls Priest into position and Dawkins goes up top and hits a swanton for a near fall.  Priest grabs the leg and Dawkins with punches.  Priest with a forearm but Dawkins with a punch.  Priest with a cyclone kick and South of Heaven for the three count.

We see footage of Austin Theory arriving at the arena earlier today.

We are back and Adam Pearce has the Maximum Male Models and Maxxine Dupri signing their contracts.

Chelsea Green enters and asks for the manager.  Chelsea complains about the chocolate and water and her private dressing room.  Chelsea asks why she isn't in the Elimination Chamber Match.  She says she could beat all of them.  Adam reminds Chelsea how long she was in the Rumble match.  Chelsea asks if she needs to talk to his manager.  Chelsea says her family is in the crowd and she demands a match or she will cost Adam her job.

We take a look back at the main event segment from Smackdown with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.

Match Number Two:  Baron Corbin (with John Layfield) versus Dexter Lumis (with Johnny Gargano)

Corbin attacks Lumis before the match starts and the referee tries to keep Corbin away.

The referee starts the match and Corbin with a rear chin lock.  Corbin with elbows to the clavicle and he returns to the rear chin lock.  Corbin with a hard Irish whip for a near fall.  Corbin yells at Gargano on the floor and then rakes the face.  Lumis with punches and more punches to Corbin followed by a pop up punch and clothesline into the corner.  Lumis with a bulldog and a belly-to-back suplex followed by a leaping leg drop.  Lumis goes for Silence but Corbin backs LUmis into the corner.  Corbin misses a splash in the corner and Lumis with a Side Effect for the three count.

Winner:  Dexter Lumis

We take a look back at the cage match that didn't happen two weeks ago between Becky and Bayley.  Then we see how we got that match tonight.

Byron Saxton is with Becky Lynch.  He asks about tonight's match.

Becky says this is where it all began 10 years ago for her to chase her dream and where she first met Byron Saxton.  A lot happened over those ten years.  She met Bayley in the weight room in the PC.  Bayley wanted to be great by high fiving people and hugging people and attaching herself to a meal ticket to get to the top.  Becky says that she was there to kick down doors to be the MAN of the industry.  Bayley didn't like that and she hit her with chairs.  You brought my family into this and I will learn you to not talk about my family.  

You can bring your little friends and tricks.  I have a hand I haven't played yet and tonight might be the night.

We go to commercial.
