“It’s not ego, it is pure confidence,” Page said. “I believe that I already am the best wrestler in all of the WWE. And you know what? This Saturday, I plan to prove it to you and anyone else who doubts All Ego. Michael, I will be the first man to put the word fear in the vocabulary of Penta, and then the last man to leave the ring at Saturday Night’s Main Event with the Intercontinental Championship.”
Page has only been on the main roster for a month, but it seems like he’s already primed to win his first gold.
Street Profits Gets Taken Out by Bron Breakker on Raw
The main event of Raw was Seth Rollins vs. Austin Theory. Rollins spent the night trying get backup and found Angelo Dawkins.
After Rollins beat Theory, he was attacked by The Vision, prompting Dawkins to make the save. They were overwhelmed by the numbers game, which led to Montez Ford coming out as well.
However, Bron Breakker took out the Street Profits, as well as Rollins. Logan Paul and Theory will have the advantage heading into Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Paige and Brie Bella Beat Judgment Day
Despite the presence of Liv Morgan, Paige and Brie Bella still managed to retain their WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against Judgment Day.
Due to retaining the championship, Paige and Brie will defend their titles against The Irresistible Forces on Saturday. The reigning champs already defeated Lash Legend and Nia Jax two weeks ago on SmackDown, so this might be the former champs’ last chance to regain the gold.
Becky Lynch Backs Out of Title Match
Sol Ruca challenged Becky Lynch to a title match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Lynch accepted, but she clarified that it won’t be for her Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
The Man doesn’t want to put her title on the line against someone who hasn’t won a match on Raw. The match between Lynch and Ruca will be a non-title one.
