Rhea Ripley kicks off the show

Video: Nine days ago at WWE Bad Blood, Raquel Rodriguez attacked Rhea Ripley and cost her the Women’s World Championship. This past Friday on Smackdown, Ripley attacked Rodriguez before taking it to Liv Morgan.
Ripley says she is not done with Liv Morgan or Raquel Rodriguez. This doesn’t end until she gets back the one thing she never lost: her Women’s World Championship. If Morgan and Rodriguez are done running, they can come to the ring so she can whoop their asses.
“It’s Tiffy Time.”
Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton heads to the ring. Stratton says she knows she isn’t who Ripley was expecting. She is here because she has a very important message from the WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Jax warns Ripley to stay out of her business, or else she’ll have a big problem. Ripley says she understands Stratton thinks it’s Tiffy Time, but it’s not. Ripley doesn’t have time for this. Either she gets her hands on Morgan or Rodriguez, or she can welcome Stratton back to Raw the Rhea Ripley way.
They get into a shoving match until Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attack them from behind. Rodriguez slams Stratton down and slings Ripley down before hitting her with a big boot. Morgan grabs the Money in the Bank briefcase and smashes it off Stratton’s back. Morgan and Rodriguez stand tall.

Gable says they will show the world what it means to be American Made.
Video: Bron Breakker says everyone has wondered why he turned his back on Jey Uso. It’s not that complicated. Uso lucked into the biggest lottery of his life when he beat Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. Out of respect, he came to the ring and shook Uso’s hand before congratulating him. Uso then threw it back in his face as if he would see it. Not once did Uso say he respects Breakker as a man or a champion. Maybe one day, Uso can be the caliber of champion he was, which Uso cannot be. Breakker doesn’t need his family’s help. When he surpasses them in success, he will get respect from his family. That won’t be like Uso. He’s sucked off his family’s legacy for fourteen years (umm…??). Once his cousin was at the top of the mountain, he wanted to do it on his own. If Uso wants to do it on his own, he’ll take this ass-kicking on his own as well. Breakker is coming back for the Intercontinental Championship. The beautiful thing is Uso’s family cannot save him from Breakker.
Video: Raw General Manager Adam Pearce met with “Big” Bronson Reed last Saturday. Pearce says he appreciates Reed’s time. Reed says he wants to talk business. Pearce says Reed has made a name for himself in a short amount of time. He’s given everyone a lot of leeway, but what he and Braun Strowman did with referees and fans was over the line. Reed apologizes if his actions crossed the line, but no one could stop him in a match like that. If it weren’t for Seth Rollins, he’d be the Last Monster Standing. When is he getting a match with Rollins? Pearce says he’s not even thinking about that until they’re on the same page. Reed says all the destruction he’s caused has been done to get him to the main event. Isn’t that the sort of ambition Pearce wants from his superstar? Reed wants the spotlight and a match with Rollins to show he’s a top guy in WWE. Pearce doesn’t believe there won’t be any trouble. If they’re on the same page, Pearce will talk to Rollins. Reed says Pearce is a smarter businessman than he thought. Pearce says they’ll talk soon. Reed warns him not to make him wait too long.
Alpha Academy heads to the ring. Next, they’ll participate in the World Tag Team Championship Tournament First Round Match. We don’t know who their opponents will be.

Backstage Segment
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce walks up to Seth “Freakin” Rollins. Rollins asks if he’s got the match with “Big” Bronson Reed. Pearce says he’s apprehensive. Rollins has had six matches this year and has been injured for all of them. Rollins says injuries happen and are part of the game. You fight through them to get to the top. Rollins is there. Upstarts like Reed will try to make a name off your name when you get to that point. Rollins says there is a reason he runs this place and is at the top of the food chain. Reed and Pearce have forgotten that. He’s slayed beasts, conquered kings, and hunting a monster sounds nice. Rollins needs this fight. He needs people like Reed to bring out the best in him. That keeps Rollins sharp and at the top. Reed tried to ruin his life, but he needs this fight. If Pearce wants the best version of Seth Rollins for this show, he needs this fight. Rollins walks off.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will join the show next.

Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes addresses WWE Crown Jewel
“Wrestling has more than one royal family.”
Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring. Rhodes shakes hands with the fans before shaking hands with Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore. The crowd gives Rhodes a nice ovation and chants his name. Rhodes shouts a greeting to everyone in attendance. Rhodes says to know where you’re going, you must know where you’ve been. As much as he considers himself the future, he considers himself a sports entertainment traditionalist. Rhodes is happy to be in a city with such rich professional wrestling roots. Whether it was Sam Muchnick at the Kiel Auditorium or right here on Monday Night Raw, it’s history.
There has been some more recent history. Not too long ago, something very special happened in his building, and it genuinely changed his life for the better. A light “We want Cody” chant picks up. Rhodes says that chant was heard for the first time here. Rhodes says someone will call him a politician for doing so, but there’s nothing political about this. Rhodes thanks the crowd for doing that. With that in mind, Rhodes asks, “What do you wanna talk about?”
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther heads to the ring. Gunther is pleased to be in the ring with Rhodes. Gunther says he’d usually come out and dress his opponent down a bit, but there’s not much negative to say about Rhodes. In fact, this company, this business, and this sport are in a boom period like never before, all built off Rhodes’s back. Rhodes makes every town, country, and continent. He’s truly the quarterback of this organization. A “Thank you, Cody” chant picks up. Gunther doesn’t respect many people in the company but respects Rhodes. If Gunther thinks about it, there might be one thing: Rhodes loves being everyone’s darling. Because of that, he’s in a mess with his old friend, Kevin Owens. Owens realizes everybody’s friend is no one’s real friend. Gunther tells Rhodes to sort out his emotional mess because he wants the best version of Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia.
Rhodes says what Gunther thinks is his greatest weakness is his greatest strength. Friends do not surround Rhodes. If Rhodes can make an observation from one champion to another, he’s seen what happens when the Ring General throws everything at his opponent, and they keep coming back. Gunther gets uncomfortable. Rhodes has seen it firsthand. He saw it at WrestleMania. Gunther breaks. Rhodes can return some of the things Gunther said about him regarding being a workhorse. Rhodes respects him. Gunther thinks he’s swimming in the deep end, but his feet still touch the bottom. Gunther has never been in the ring with him. Gunther says that was spoken like a true secondary champion. Rhodes says he was expecting the dig. This is Gunther’s house. Gunther has become a frightening beast. Rhodes warns him not to forget that he beat the most dominating champion in company history and has already slain a frightening beast. Rhodes drops the microphone and looks for a handshake. Gunther shakes his hand and wishes him luck. Gunther walks off.
