She’s back. The main event of tonight’s episode of Raw featured a steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley that was originally supposed to take place at Raw XXX. While Bayley would have backup with Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky, it appeared that The Man had some backup too.
In the closing moments of the match, Lynch was getting ready to escape the cage, when interference from Kai and Sky prevented The Man from getting out. Just when it looks like Bayley was going to get the win, WWE Hall of Famer Lita made her return to television to even the odds. She would fight off Damage Control, slam the door in Bayley’s face, and allow Lynch to get the win.
Lita was last seen on WWE programming at the 2022 Elimination Chamber premium live event, where she lost a match to Lynch.
Editor’s Opinion:
I did not see this one coming, but I’m glad I did! It’s always great when Lita is on television, and she looked fantastic in her role as always. If this leads to a tag match between the two opposing s..

Long time in the making: We are on the way to Elimination Chamber, with the show taking place in less than two weeks. That does not leave long to build up the show, but the other problem is that the show’s namesake matches are going to take up twelve people from the roster. WWE is going to have to come up with something clever to fill in the card and now we know a bit more about the show.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s Not Over: Two More SmackDown Stars Heading To Monday Night Raw Roster
This week on Monday Night Raw, Edge and Beth Phoenix appeared and talked about wanting to finish the war with the Judgment Day once and for all. Phoenix issued a challenge for a mixed tag against Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley, who was not there, with Balor accepting. Phoenix and Edge have teamed together before, defeating the Miz and Maryse at the 2022 Royal Rumble.
This should be good. Check out what is coming for the Judgment Day:

They’re gone too. WWE has such a big roster of talent that they can move wrestlers from one show to another without much trouble. It is the kind of thing that you do not get to see happen very often but WWE knows how to move things around quickly. That is what they did with three names on Monday, but it turns out that is not the only move that has been made on the same day.

Earlier this week, all three of the Maximum Male Models were moved from SmackDown over to Monday Night Raw. This came after the Models appeared last week for an angle on Monday Night Raw. Now, according to PWInsider.com, two more stars are moving from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw, as Los Lotharios (Angel/Humberto) as well. There is no word on why the move was made or if any more moves are expected.
That is more talent moving. Check out what is coming to Monday Night Raw:

They’re on the move. WWE has enough wrestlers that they have been able to split their talent pool into three unique rosters. Monday Night Raw, NXT and SmackDown all have their own set of talent, but some of them will occasionally move from one show to another. That seems to be the case again as two wrestlers, along with their manager, have moved to a different roster.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, the Maximum Male Models appeared, with Maxxine Dupri seeming to take an interest in Otis, though nothing else took place. According to Fightful Select, the team (Dupri, Mace and Mansoor) have officially moved to Monday Night Raw. An angle is expected to take place to confirm the move as well as to continue the storyline with Otis.
This has potential. Check out what is coming to Monday Night Raw:

That’s a lot of money. WWE is a company that makes more money than it knows what to do with most of the time and that has put them in a very strong spot. They know how to bring in all kinds of money and often find new ways of doing so. The company is willing to accept almost any method of bringing in extra money and now we know how they did so again recently.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: Bray Wyatt/Uncle Howdy Storyline Gets Even More Confusing At WWE Live Event
Last month at the Royal Rumble, WWE presented the Pitch Black match between Bray Wyatt and LA Knight, presented by Mountain Dew. The match saw both wrestlers wrestling in neon gear with the lights turned down and several mentions of the drink. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the match was a “million dollar deal” for WWE. A WWE executive has already announced that another sponsored match will take place at WrestleMania 39 without giving any details.
Mountain Dew got a lot out of this. Check out how things went for them..

Just to make it even more confusing. There are certain characters and stories in wrestling that can be hard to figure out. Some of them do or say things that leave fans with more questions than answers and that can make for some interesting moments. WWE certainly has its share of them and now one of the most confusing has taken another turn, at least during a recent live event.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Welcome Home: Another Monday Night Raw Star Set For NXT Return
Over the last several weeks, Bray Wyatt has been forced to deal with a mysterious man named Uncle Howdy. This has involved Howdy following Wyatt, as well as attacking him once. Last week on SmackDown though, the two seemed to form an alliance. This was followed by Wyatt wearing the Howdy mask to the ring during a recent WWE live event in Columbus, Ohio. Wyatt had once declared that he WAS Howdy, though the two have been seen together since.

It’s a homecoming. NXT has been a complete game changer for WWE, as the company has its own developmental system, which happens to air on national television. As a result, NXT stars have become big deals in their own right, with the show having a legacy of its own. That includes names from before NXT went national, but now one of them will be appearing on the bigger version of the show.

WWE has announced that Bayley will be appearing on this week’s edition of NXT for a special edition of her Ding Dong Hello show, featuring Toxic Attraction as her guests. Bayley is a former NXT Women’s Champion and member of the Four Horsewomen who helped establish the NXT women’s division before NXT began airing on television. There is nothing to suggest that this is anything more than a one off appearance.

It’s a family thing. Tag team wrestling has been undergoing a bit of a resurgence in WWE as of late, with more teams being formed and a more competitive division overall. While this has been going on, the Usos have reigned on high as one of the most dominant teams in WWE history. However, a change in plans might require someone else in the family to step in for a change.
At the Royal Rumble, the Bloodline attacked Sami Zayn but Jey Uso refused to get involved, resulting in Uso not appearing this week on SmackDown. The Usos have a Tag Team Title defense scheduled against Braun Strowman and Ricochet next week on SmackDown, though there is doubt over whether Jey will team with his brother Jimmy. During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer speculated (rather than reported) that WWE could have the Usos’ brother Solo Sikoa team with Jimmy in Jey’s place. Jimmy and Sikoa teamed together this week in a dark match after SmackDown. Jey is still scheduled for the title matc..

Please don’t be bad. You never know when you are going to see a wrestler injured and it is never a good thing. Wrestlers being hurt can happen at any time and can cause all kinds of problems for everyone involved, but the wrestler’s health is what matters the most. There was another injury scare this weekend and a match was stopped as a result of the sudden injury.

According to Wrestlingbodyslam.com and a fan on Twitter, a SmackDown Women’s Title match at a live event in Pensecola, Florida. Charlotte was defending against Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville when Deville suffered some sort of injury. A member of the medical staff came to ringside to check on Deville and the match was stopped, with Deville being helped to the back. There is no word on the nature of Deville’s injury or if she will be missing any ring time.
Sonya actually hurt?

Nowhere is safe anymore. Following last night’s NXT: Vengeance Day premium live event, Shawn Michaels did a media conference call to discuss the show. However, he was not alone, as Grayson Waller decided to make his feelings known.
Waller interrupted Michaels during the call and shared his frustrations about not being HBK’s guy. Waller felt that Carmelo Hayes has taken that place, as was shown in the final moments of the show. Matt Bloom ended up entering the room and removed Waller before he took things too far.
You can see the conference call below:
