Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. IYO Sky for WWE Women’s World Title Announced for WrestleMania 41

Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota featured one newly updated match announced for the card of WrestleMania 41.

This updated match was a WWE Women’s World Championship Triple Threat match of Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. IYO SKY (c).

This match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Ripley bullying her way into getting a title match and her bad blood issues with SKY and Belair. During tonight’s show RAW GM Adam Pearce was seen in the ring with the Women’s World title displayed on a podium. Pearce called out SKY, Belair, and Ripley to come out to the ring and after some disparaging words directed at all three, he officially announced that SKY will be defending her title against both Belair and Ripley at WrestleMania. This led to a heated response by Belair over the new change and both Belair and Ripley signing the match contract. This then led to a brawl breaking out between all three that ended with SKY standing tall and signing the match contract to make everything official.

Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano Announced for WrestleMania 41

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured one new match announced for the card of WrestleMania 41, which takes place on April 19-20 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This new match announced was a singles match of Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano.

This match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over the LWO’s bad blood issues with Americano and American Made.

During tonight’s show, Americano & American Made defeated the LWO in a Six-Man tag team match after Americano was slipped a metal piece to put in his mask as a weapon and struck Mysterio and Dragon Lee with his head.

In a follow-up segment, Mysterio walked into RAW GM Adam Pearce office and aired his grievances about his issues with Americano. This led to Pearce granting Mysterio a match against Americano whenever he wanted and Mysterio revealing he wants it at WrestleMania, which Pearce agreed.

Seth Rollins Says Paul Heyman Owes Him a Favor After Not Curb Stomping Him on Monday’s WWE RAW Show

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Seth Rollins claiming that Paul Heyman now owes him a special favor.

During the show, Heyman came out to the ring and talked about CM Punk revealing what his favor was and why he is always loyal to both Roman Reigns and Punk. Heyman stated that just because he is loyal to both of them does not mean he will ever in his life be disloyal to either of them. Heyman then started to talk about his situation for who’s corner he will be in at WrestleMania only to be interrupted by Rollins’ music.

Rollins came out to the ring and talked about Heyman’s dilemma and stated that it occurred to hm over the past week that Heyman is neither. Rollins talked about how Reigns bosses Heyman around and Heyman does everything for Reigns but Reigns doesn’t give a dam about Heyman. Rollins brought up all of the bad things that happened to Heyman involving the Bloodline over the past year and how Reigns disappeared leaving him to be “massacred” by Solo Sikoa’s group.

Rollins then turned his attention towards Punk and talked about Punk only uses Heyman when its convenient for him. Rollins brought up how he and not Punk was the first choice for Team Roman at WarGames. Rollins then talked about how Punk did not join the team out of the goodness of his heart because he loved his best friend and instead only did it because he knew that he could use it to get a favor out of Heyman. Rollins then stated that Punk is not Heyman’s best friend and Punk doesn’t love anyone but himself.

Rollins then talked about how he feels bad for Heyman and how the easiest solution would be for him to remove himself entirely from the situation for WrestleMania. Rollins then started threatening Heyman saying that he could do that for him and talked about how it would be quick and easy, a boot to the back of the head and a curb stomp. This led to Rollins shoving and giving a slap to Heyman, which an angry Heyman responded by grabbing Rollins arm and telling him “Don’t put your damn hands on me again!”

This led to Rollins shoving Heyman into the corner and before anything else could happen, Punk’s music played and he ran out and brawled with Rollins. This brawl ended with Rollins laying out Punk with a curb stomp. Heyman went to attend to Punk as Rollins prepared to hit another one targetting Heyman only to let up at the last second and stomped in front of Heyman. This led to Heyman giving a shocked reaction and Rollins stating that Heyman now owes him a favor.
