WWE RAW REPORT: CODY VERSUS SOLO, GUNTHER IN ACTION, REY VERSUS PRIEST, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-03-27 23:00:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick.

Miz makes his way to the ring for MizTV.

Miz welcomes everyone and he mentions this is the final Raw before Wrestlemania.  He says they will get to the bottom of one of the biggest rivalries in WWE.

Miz brings out his guests, Trish Stratus, Lita, and Becky Lynch.

Miz asks Becky about needing back up when she usually works alone.  Miz asks Becky how does it feel that you couldn't do it by yourself.

Becky says she is THE MAN while Miz is A man.  Becky says Miz sounds insecure with tiny balls.  

Miz says they are not tiny, they are massive and verified by his wife.

Becky says it is good to know Maryse didn't get around before she met him.

Becky says Damage Control has been a thorn in her side.  They put her on the shelf.  She has been plotting how to get rid of them, but after War Games they came back.  Becky says she does not get along with many people but there are two people she respect.  When people fight for her, she fights for them.

Miz asks Lita and Trish, why now?  Why return to play back up to Becky Lynch?

Lita says she doesn't feel like back up.  She feels like one half of the Tag Team Champions.  

Bayley's music interrupts and she comes out to the ring with Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.

Miz is shocked that they are walking to the ring, but Bayley says she has something to say.

Bayley says she is sick and tired of them talking about how this is just another match.  For us, this is our life.  Trish and Lita, you act like you mean something today but you haven't meant anything twenty years ago.

Trish says Lita having the title means she means something now.

Bayley says at one point in her life, this would have been the ultimate dream match.  Facing someone she came into the company with and two of her idols.  Now it is a different kind of dream.  Now their dream is to take out one of the top women and two Hall of Famers.

Becky asks what is next?  Becky says Dakota was a two time champion and Iyo was one of the best NXT Champions and they aren't doing anything.  You are just her lackeys.  You have been doing the same thing since SummerSlam.  She says she thought this would have ended.  It can only end at Wrestlemania.

We go to commercial.

Solo Sikoa, The Usos, and Paul Heyman walk in the back as we go to commercial.

We have a video package for Asuka.

They talk about how she is a difference maker.  Zelina says she was scary to watch.  We see her winning the NXT Women's Championship from Bayley.  Lita says for Asuka to run through the NXT roster and the main roster, it is a huge accolade.  Molly Holly says that when you can go years of being undefeated she is in a class of her own.  MVP says Asuka will win because of the psychological games.

We take a look at what happened last week between Seth Rollins and Logan Paul.

Earlier today, Cathy Kelley stopped Seth Rollins in the back.  She asks him about Logan Paul sucker punching him and if he has anything to say to Logan.

Mustafa Ali interrupts and says since Seth has nothing to say, he won't say anything.  Ali says he wants Seth to see the positive side of Logan knocking you out twice.  Logan's entourage had no idea who Seth was before the Royal Rumble.  Now they want to see if he can land another lucky knock out punch.  Ali tells Seth that he needs to look at things Positive-ALI.

Seth loves the pun.  He says Ali deserves a prize.  Seth reminds Ali about all of those matches he was asking for from Seth.  Seth suggests the match and he cackles one last time before he walks away.

After the match, Seth takes a mic.  Seth says in five days, I finally get my hands on Logan Paul.  Logan has a history of making a joke out of himself.  Seth says if he can't beat Logan Paul at Wrestlemania, he is not the joke, Seth is.  He threw him out of the Royal Rumble.  Logan cost him at Elimination Chamber.  He cheap shotted him twice.  In five days, it all comes back around.  A little birdie told him that April 1st is Logan's birthday.  The WWE Universe will be serenading you all night long, but it won't be Happy Birthday.  He tells the crowd to 'sing' his song.

Seth tells Logan he will see him at Wrestlemania and he cackles.

We see Baron Corbin trying to get a match from Adam Pearce.  Baron says he is doing whatever he can for Wrestlemania.

Chelsea Green shows up to complain about Adam to Adam.

Chelsea wants to know why she isn't in the tag team showcase match. 

Adam says Piper does not want to work with Chelsea.

Sonya Deville shows up and she says that she did Adam's job better than him.  Maybe Adam is intimidated by strong women.  

Adam says he was looking at the roster for who could be in the match and he thought about Sonya and Chelsea.  You can wrestle in a qualifying match tonight.

Baron comes back and Pearce walks away.

We go to commercial.
