Rousey & Baszler Return On Raw; Rhea Ripley Gives Warning To Natalya

by

For those that may have missed the May 15 episode of Raw, here is what took place.

Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler return on Raw now that they are drafted to the red brand. The team has not been seen since WrestleMania where they won the WrestleMania Showcase. Rousey has been injured prior to that match and that is what has kept them off TV since.

They made their return after one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez defeated Chelsea Green. A match that was supposed to be for the gold that had to be changed last minute due to an injury that Liv Morgan suffered on SmackDown. As Rodriguez was celebrating her victory up the ramp and to the stage, Rousey appeared and kicked her followed by Baszler appearing as well.

Rousey and Baszler tell Rodriguez that they are tired of waiting for a title shot and that Rodriguez can defend the gold with or without Morgan. However, if she chooses not to defend the titles then she will continue to get the same beating week after week.

Outside of the tag team division, Becky Lynch challenged Trish Stratus for a match at Night of Champions. More on that here.

Backstage Zoey Stark continues to harass Nikki Cross until Candice LeRae appeared. The two would verbally get into it as Stark mocks LeRae’s “weirdo” family. A match between the two has been made for next week.

Lastly, as the promo ended for Lynch, we witnessed the SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley backstage watching it on the monitor. She was approached by Cathy Kelley who asked Ripley about Natalya’s addition to Raw and how she came down last week to confront her.

Natalya told Ripley that she is the most dominant woman who has ever held the SmackDown Women’s Title. And that she doesn’t need to continue to kick people when they are down like she did to Dana Brooke last week. She deserves respect which she isn’t going to get running through the division.

Ripley says that Natalya came down to the ring last week not because of Dana Brooke but because she wants everyone to care about her again. Ripley warns her if she ever interrupts her again, she isn’t going to help her career but she will end it.

Natalya Steps Up To Rhea Ripley; Becky Lynch Returns

by

The May 8 episode of Raw had a new challenger step up to the SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. At first it was Dana Brooke.

In a non-title match, Ripley made short work of Brooke only after a few minutes. Brooke had some offense early on in the match but it would take a Riptide and then locking her in the Prism to make her tap out. Post-match, Ripley wasn’t done with Brooke as she landed another Riptide and locked in the Prism submission again.

Natalya’s music would hit as she made her way to the ring. She stepped up to Ripley face to face but the champion would make her way out of the ring before things got physical.

The second women’s match of the night had the Raw debut match for Zoey Stark. She had a confrontation backstage with Nikki Cross which led to the match. Stark picked up a win in her debut after delivering the Z360.

Trish Stratus had a promo after handing out “Where is Becky Lynch?” flyers back stage. The promo continued to mock Lynch with Stratus saying we are never going to see her again. Lynch’s music hits but it was just a plan by Stratus to fake out the crowd as she laughed at how gullible everybody is.

Moments later, Lynch’s music hits again much to Stratus’ confusion as that wasn’t the plan. This time Becky was back and she was behind Trish in the ring. Lynch delivered a ManHandle slam which made Stratus roll out the ring and retreat up the ramp.


Lastly, we had Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville going around backstage collecting signatures. The signatures are to have them get a tag title shot even tho that’s not what they were telling some people. Xia Li first signed it as they them approached Candice LeRae, Johnny Gargano, and Indi Hartwell.

Hartwell asked Dexter Lumis if they should sign it as he gave the thumbs down.


Later in the night, they ran into the tag team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan stated if they wanted to have a rematch all they had to do is ask. Regardless the champs signed the petition and said they would face them after they retain against Damage CTRL on Friday. Green and Deville laughed because they had the intent on facing Damage CTRL and not the current champions.

Damage CTRL Vows To Take The Gold; LWO vs. Judgment Day

by

In case you missed this week’s Raw, on the second and final night of the WWE Draft, Damage CTRL picks up a big victory against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. In a non-title bout, Bayley and Dakota Kai became victorious against Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

The match was pretty evenly throughout. At one point Kai tagged the foot of Bayley which the referee wouldn’t take as a legal tag but allowed Bayley to rake the eyes of Morgan. Morgan would eventually get the hot tag for Rodriguez. The final moments had Bayley tagging herself in as Morgan hit ObLIVion on Kai. Bayley stacks up Morgan for the victory.

The second match of the night was between the LWO including Zelina Vega, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar facing Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest. Eyes were on Vega and Ripley during this match by women’s wrestling fans as they will battle for the SmackDown Women’s Title this Saturday at Backlash.

A few moments of the match included both Vega and Ripley mixing it up with the men. The match would eventually be won by the Judgment Day after Priest pinned Rey.

There was a backstage promo that gave further push for the Raw Women’s Title match at Backlash which will be the champion Bianca Belair taking on IYO SKY. As Belair was being interviewed, all of Damage CTRL entered. Belair commented that back at SummerSlam she was excited to see SKY come to the main roster as she knows was she is capable of and what she can do. But for Belair, she hasn’t seen it on the main roster. She continues to drive a wedge in Damage CTRL and trying to get SKY to believe that Bayley and Kai are holding her back.

Bayley states that with her and Kai’s win over the tag champs and with SKY facing Belair this weekend that Damage CTRL will have all of the gold.

We also got to see two Hall of Famers as Queen Sharmell and Molly Holly both helped reveal draft picks.

Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are called up from NXT to the Raw brand.

Trish Stratus Is “Nobody’s Sidekick”; Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville Pick Up Win

by

Trish Stratus was the hottest news coming out of the April 17 episode of Raw as her heel turn is now in full effect.

Stratus started the promo by reminding fans that it was her and her alone that started the women’s revolution. Before she came in the door many years ago there was no women’s division and she made it. She corrected any thought that Lita would be included in that and admitted to be the one that took Lita out last week.

Stratus would then direct her message to Becky Lynch. She says she wanted to make sure that she was the one who made Lynch lose the tag titles. And she did just that. She was set out to prove that she is no one’s sidekick when it came to Lita and Lynch.

She ended the promo with, “I am the greatest of all time. I am the single most important figure in the history of WWE, and I’m here to make sure none of you forget it.” She dropped the mic to end the segment.

There were two women’s matches this week as the first was the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair taking on Dakota Kai. Ringside was Bayley and the number one contender IYO SKY.

Although taking Belair to her limits, Kai wasn’t able to get the victory as Belair landed the KOD to win the match. In a WWE digital exclusive, Bayley attempted to clear the air on anyone continuing to say there are issues within Damage CTRL before Kai cut her off.

Kai says she appreciates Bayley always hyping her up but she did fail against Belair. She then directed it to SKY to be the one to take the title off of her. SKY says she sees Bianca’s weakness and will beat her.

The second women’s match was the shorter of the two but it was Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville taking on Michin and Candice LeRae. The tag champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez sat at ringside. Green and Deville will be getting a title opportunity this Friday and needed a win to gain momentum. And a win they got after Green landed the Unprettier on Michin.

Nikki Cross was in the crowd, still stalking Candice.

Post-match, Green and Deville threw water in the face of the champs. On Raw Talk, Morgan gave a huge message that water is not going to make them mad as she poured more water on herself. She says to “watch us” if Green and Deville think they are taking the tag titles.

Maxxine Dupri was on as well still fighting with Chad Gable over Otis.

Per WWE.com –

Last week on Monday Night Raw, shockwaves reverberated throughout the WWE Universe as Trish Stratus suddenly assaulted Becky Lynch.

Trish Stratus was filling in for Lita after Lita was mysteriously attacked backstage prior to teaming with Lynch and defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

Rhea Ripley Victorious Over Bayley; Carmella Misses Raw; Asuka Finally Attacks Belair

by

On the March 20 episode of Raw, we witnessed a couple of matches from the women as we are just two weeks out from WrestleMania 39.

The Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley who will face Charlotte Flair at the big event went to the ring to cut a promo. She promises to defeat Flair at Mania and become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Her promo was interrupted by Damage CTRL who heckled her and let her know that Raw belongs to them. This led to a match between Ripley and Bayley. In this match, Ripley would have to take the babyface role despite her current character.

Once Bayley was able to maintain some offense and take control of the match, the Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita along with Trish Stratus make their way out to the ring. Lynch with a giant bag of popcorn just to witness the match. This distracts Bayley severely despite having both Dakota Kai and IYO SKY at ringside. The trio who arrived were able to keep the rest of Damage CTRL at bay long enough for Ripley to hit the Riptide and get the big win over Bayley keeping her looking strong for Mania.

A backstage segment took place between WWE’s resident Karen, Chelsea Green with Adam Pearce. Pearce was attempting to explain the WrestleMania Showcase matches when Green approached him. Green let Pearce know that for whatever reason, Carmella was not present for their tag team match tonight. This led Green to take matters in her own hands and wanted Piper Niven as her partner who was with her. Green states that if Pearce doesn’t allow this to happen she will go to the manager. Niven replaces Carmella in the tag team match.

That match was against the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and her WrestleMania opponent Asuka. Yes, they did the “can they co-exist match.” It turns out they were able to co-exist as Belair and Asuka would pick up the win after Belair pinned Niven after a KOD.

Post match, Asuka finally attacked Belair for the first time since their “rivalry” started. This left the Raw Women’s Champion laid out in the the ring to end the segment.

The fight between Otis or Otise continues to go between Maxxine Dupri and Chad Gable. Otis would accompany Gable to ringside for his match, however, Dupri would come out to take Otise away from the ringside area.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for more news and results from the women of Raw.

Tag Team Match Set For March 20 Raw

by

A tag team match has been booked for the March 20 episode of Raw. Carmella and Chelsea Green will team up to face the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and her WrestleMania opponent Asuka.

This match came about after what took place on the March 13 episode. Belair took on Green in a singles match. Green of course had her new partner in crime Carmella at ringside. Despite Carmella getting involved multiple times, the EST still was victorious. Green hit a hard strike on Belair at the ropes but would land herself in the KOD.

Post match, Carmella went right for the super kick but Belair caught her. But the numbers game was too much and team C2 beat down the champ. Asuka came down for the save but she would then pick up the Raw Women’s Title belt. She would parade it around and dance with it, playing mind games with Belair. The blue mist would ooze from her mouth and she would start laughing to end the segment.

Other women on the show included Candice LeRae and Rhea Ripley at ringside during the Johnny Gargano & Dexter Lumis vs. The Judgment Day match. LeRae and Ripley would get physical with Ripley getting LeRae in the electric chair before landing her on the barricade.

Maxxine Dupri was on the show as it appears Otis is giving into the Maximum Male Models as he was doing a photo shoot. This was much to the chagrin of Chad Gable who had been looking for him all night.

Lastly, Trish Stratus was attacked earlier in the day backstage by all three members of Damage CTRL. The Women’s Tag Team Champs Lita and Becky Lynch arrived later during the show and rushed in to see Stratus. They would regroup for a quick interview later in the show.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for more news and results from the women of Raw.
