WWE Raw Preview: Pesky Matches Interrupt Weddings, Lie Detector Test
Tonight's episode of WWE Raw has some excellent Sports Entertainment lined up, but unfortunately, viewers will have to wade through some Pro Wrestling to get to it. But provided you are able to tolerate a championship match or two, your reward will be a lie detector test and not one but two marriages!
That's right, somebody's getting married on WWE Raw this week. Four somebodies, in fact. As part of the ongoing hilarious, never-gets-old antics surrounding the WWE 24/7 championship, R-Truth will be the minister for a double wedding, as Dana Brooke marries Reggie and Tamina marries Akira Tozawa. Who will walk out of this mess the new 24/7 Champion and why will it be R-Truth? You'll have to tune into find out.
Dana Brooke & Reggie and Akira Tozawa & Tamina to be joined together by R-Truth in a Double Commitment Ceremony
Following the calamity at Dana Brooke and Tamina's bachelorette party on Raw, the "only certified marriage-ing guy" R-Truth is ready to preside over a Double Commitment Ceremony, wherein Brooke and Reggie will marry, and Akira Tozawa and Tamina will tie the knot!
Don't miss the celebration this Monday at 8/7 C on USA on Raw.
What could be better than two wrestling weddings? That's pretty much your main event right there. But WWE isn't done. Also on WWE Raw tonight, Kevin Owens will force Elias… excuse us, Ezekiel to take a lie detector test to prove he isn't actually Elias. It's the third best kind of test that can be performed on WWE Raw or an episode of the Maury show, beaten only by a paternity test or a drug test that involves somebody throwing urine on Sheamus. Unless they find a way to get Ezekiel's urine involved, it should still be plenty of fun.
Kevin Owens to give a lie detector test to Ezekiel
Kevin Owens is obsessed with proving that Ezekiel, "Elias' younger brother," is not who he says he is. As a result, KO will carry out a lie detector test on Raw.
Find out what goes down when Owens attempts to ascertain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, this Monday at 8/7 C on USA.
Unfortunately, if you want to enjoy all that great Sports Entertainment, you have to sit through some wrestling, starting with a United States Championship match between champion Finn Bálor and challenger Austin Theory. Here's what WWE.com has to say about it:
Theory looks to bring United States Title back to Mr. McMahon in showdown with Finn Bálor
Theory has once again used his mentor's pull to secure a title opportunity, receiving a United States Championship Match with Finn Bálor on Monday Night Raw.
Theory has scored back-to-back pinfalls on the United States Champion in a pair of chaotic Six-Man Tag Team Matches but has yet to defeat Bálor in singles action with their previous meeting ending in a disqualification thanks to Damian Priest's interference.
Can Mr. McMahon's golden boy become just that after dethroning Bálor for the United States Title? Tune in to Monday Night Raw at 8/7 C on USA to find out!
And then, after COVID (isn't that over now?) prevented the match from happening last week, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan will finally challenge Sasha Banks and Naomi for the Women's Tag Team Championships. But don't worry… there's hope that this too will devolve into soap opera drama as Ripley and Morgan have been having some issues lately.
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks & Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan
On the first Raw after WrestleMania, a miscommunication caused Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan to fall to the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks & Naomi in a Championship Contender's Match. In a moment of frustration, The Nightmare responded by walking out on her friend and partner in the aftermath.
In an effort to work things out, Ripley informed her dynamic partner that she convinced WWE Management to give them a title opportunity against The Boss & The Glow!
In the Nightmare's absence, Morgan built valuable momentum for her tandem with a victory over Sasha Banks on SmackDown. Naomi, however, overcame Liv back on Raw in another hard-fought matchup to increase the momentum of the reigning titleholders.
Find out if Morgan & Ripley can right the wrong and finally claim the WWE Women's Tag Team gold, this Monday at 8/7 C on Raw on USA.
