Rhea Ripley & Asuka V/S Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax
Last week after Rhea Ripley and Asuka’s contract signing at RAW for their upcoming singles match at the Wrestlemania 37th for the RAW Women’s Championship, Asuka and Rhea had a feud which ended up with Rhea smashing Asuka’s face on the table.
After this altercation, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler appeared in the ring and attacked Rhea and Asuka. Later on, Nia challenged Asuka & Rhea for a Tag Team match at the next RAW episode to which Rhea accepted real quick.
Drew McIntyre V/S Baron Corbin
Drew McIntyre, last week after he defeated Ricochet in a singles match at RAW was attacked by Mustafa Ali at first. Drew managed to outmanoeuvre Ali and threw him out of the ring only to be attacked by another superstar King Corbin.
King Corbin appeared out of nowhere and thrashed Drew after which Bobby Lashley took the attack forward by catching McIntyre in his submission hold “The Hurt Lock”. Drew will finally get his hands on King Corbin this time as the match is confirmed but there is a slight hint of Bobby Lashley helping Corbin by distracting Drew.
Bobby Lashley V/S Cedric Alexander
After the Hurt Business i.e. Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander failed to defeat Drew McIntyre in a 2 on 1 Handicap match, Bobby grew angry and beat up both Benjamin & Alexander on RAW. Later on, Shelton asked Adam Pierce for a match against Bobby Lashley on the same night to which Adam accepted.
Shelton had a bone to pick up with Bobby but Bobby wasn’t out of his anger yet. Bobby won the match asserting complete dominance on to Shelton. Bobby will now be facing Cedric Alexander, the remaining member of the Hurt Business and put a full stop to the Hurt Business once and for all.
