RAW

We see a recap from the last RAW, where Becky Lynch made the announcement of her pregnancy and relinquished her title.

Randy Orton closed the show last week, and now he will be opening the show this week. Orton issued a challenge to Edge for a simple wrestling match, and said that Edge still had a lot to prove.

Orton said that wrestling was the basis of everything they did, and that's why he wanted them to be a part of a wrestling match.

Orton said that there were always athletes. But not all of them could do what they did in the ring.

He addresses Edge and says that he saw doubt in the eyes of Edge when he looked at him.

He is interrupted by the Rated-R Superstar, Edge.

Edge and Orton face off in the ring. He says that Orton talked about a lot of truth last week, but to Orton it was no more than a game, but to Edge it was something very different.

Edge says Randy may be talented, but he had to never fight to get what he had and he did not love wrestling like Edge did. He was handed everything in his life.

Edge accepts the challenge. The two face off, and Randy exits and walks away.

Seth Rollins came out.

Seth says that he knows that sometimes to get better they have to lose everything. Seth said that he had seen the light when he was in the darkness of McIntyre beating him.
He said he had seen the light thanks to Rey Mysterio and he owed him a lot.
Seth says that what happened to Rey Mysterio was unfortunate, but it was needed. He said that he got clarity from that moment and he can now be the leader that he can be.

He addresses Mysterio directly, saying he knows he is healing at home and that he cannot see. But promises him that Mysterio will understand that what happened to him was actually a blessing.

Instead of apologizing to him, he says Rey is welcome.

Humberto Carrillo comes out and interrupts Seth. Carrillo says that Rey is his hero, and all that Seth is, is no more than a coward.

Kairi Sane introduces and brings out the new RAW Women's Champion, Asuka.

Asuka says she is both happy for Becky Lynch and now she is happy to be the Champion.

Kairi talks about how Asuka has been the NXT Women's Champion, SmackDown Women's Champion, RAW Women's Champion and Tag Team Women's Champion. They had all that they could achieve.

Which means Asuka is Gland Slam Champion.

Kairi brings out a flute and the two of them dance and celebrate. They are interrupted by Nia Jax, who is crashing this celebration.

Nia says that Asuka was handed the title, as if it were nothing. She went on to say that Asuka will be replaced by Nia.

Asuka has heard enough and attacks Nia. She hits the Hip Attack and drops her out of the ring.

Natalya vs. Shayna Baszler in a Submission Match

The Kevin Owens show set is not exactly in good condition after Natalya destroyed it in frustration.

He thanks Natalya for getting the junk out of the way. He goes on to say that he was rather hurt at WrestleMania, but he was good to go now.

He calls out Zelina Vega and Austin Theory and Andrade.

Zelina says she knows that Kevin Owens thinks that there is disfunction in her group. She calls Andrade a God, and praises Angel Garza as well as Austin Theory.

Owens is on the apron and Zelina says that he is not showing them respect.

Owens says that he is actually not in the ring because there's another guest, and that's Apollo Crews. Crews rushes in and immediately attacks Andrade.
