“Then. Now. Forever. Together.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
Video: Last week on Raw, Jacob Fatu challenged World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns to a title match at WWE Backlash. Reigns said he would make his decision on the next Raw, which is tonight.
Video: World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is seated in a room with his cousins, The Usos. Reigns says the past is the past, but they’re always blood. He doesn’t understand where Jacob Fatu is coming from. Everyone had two years to take advantage of him while he took a back seat. He procrastinated, so Reigns came back and beat CM Punk. Jimmy Uso doesn’t disagree with Reigns, but he does agree with Jacob. Jacob wants to upgrade his household, but not at Reigns’ expense. Jey Uso says Fatu is dangerous. They’ve watched him drop people one by one. They left him out there for a reason. If Fatu beats Reigns, he takes it all: the title, the Ula Fala, everything. This is it. It can’t be all about respect. Jey says there have to be consequences. Reigns is the Tribal Chief.
Reigns ponders and says, “Consequences.” They’re not doing charity. He’ll address this later tonight. Reigns appreciates the Usos. Jey and Jimmy shake hands. Jey says, “Family first.” Reigns puts his hand over theirs and says, “The first family.”

Seth Rollins addresses Bron Breakker
“BURN IT DOWN!”
Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.
Replay: Last week on Raw, Seth Rollins attacked Bron Breakker from behind with a steel chair, splitting him wide open. The Street Profits came to Rollins’ aid to fight off Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Still, Breakker got the better of Rollins with a Spear.
Rollins, dressed in black, stands in the center of the ring as the loud Laredo crowd sings his song. Rollins shouts, “Laredo, Texas, welcome to Monday Night Rollins!” He is a revolutionary. He is a visionary. He is Seth “Freakin” Rollins. Rollins says he has a lot of ground to cover tonight. There is a reason he lost to Gunther at WrestleMania, and it’s not because Gunther was better than him on that night. There’s a reason why Roman Reigns is walking around with his World Heavyweight Championship, and it is not because Reigns pinned his shoulders to the mat. The reason for those things is one and the same: Bron Breakker. Rollins knows Breakker is in the back with nine staples in the back of his head, but they’ve got business to attend to and a score to settle, so Breakker can bring his “pea brain” out here to finish it.
Bron Breakker heads to the ring with WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman in tow. Breakker gets in the ring and intensely stares at Rollins. Rollins stares back at him. Heyman looks on from the background. Breakker gets closer as Rollins brings the microphone up to his mouth. Rollins says he gave Breakker everything. He gave Breakker the world on a silver platter, and he repaid Rollins by taking everything away from him. Breakker is the reason he had to forfeit the World Heavyweight Championship, why he didn’t main-event WrestleMania, and why he lost at WrestleMania. What did Breakker get out of it? How did it benefit him?
Heyman pulls Breakker back, but he then gives him the microphone and tells him to let it off his chest. Breakker asks what Rollins really gave him and Bronson Reed. Every week, they were like his errand boys, fighting all of Rollins’ battles and fires out. Rollins has no friends. Rollins is nothing. Rollins needed them to fight all his battles. For what? Every week, Rollins would kick off the show while they had to stand in the background as Rollins regurgitated the same crap every week. Breakker does a spot-on impression of Rollins’ opening lines. Breakker says he never needed Rollins or his Vision. The only reason they’re standing here is that Breakker needed Heyman. Heyman chuckles.
Rollins incredulously asks why Breakker needed that “dried-up sack of meat.” Rollins says Breakker proved everything he thought about him. A few years ago, Rollins wanted to fight the best in the world. Rollins called Shawn Michaels to fight his best. Michaels told him Breakker was the best, so Rollins agreed to fight him. Last year, Heyman asked about taking Breakker under his wing, and Rollins couldn’t wait. Only a year under his tutelage, Breakker could be the biggest star in this industry. Rollins has been here for 14 years and seen athletes come from everywhere, but Breakker is unique. He’s the strongest, fastest, and most versatile superstar he’s seen. Breakker has everything he needs to be the biggest star of the industry… everything except the most important thing. Rollins knows what it’s like to be a 28-year-old cat full of piss and vinegar, thinking the business owes you something. Rollins knows what it’s like to bet on yourself and make the hard decisions people won’t be happy with. The difference between them is that Breakker tries, and Rollins succeeds. Every time Rollins bet on himself, it ended with a main event or a World Championship. Breakker bet on himself and got Austin Theory and Logan Paul. He got steak dinners and happy endings from Heyman. Rollins says BReakker is not ready.
Breakker asks if that’s the narrative he really wants to go with. Breakker was well on his way to the main event with or without Rollins. He didn’t need Rollins’ help. Rollins’ body can’t handle the title, his mind is too brittle, and his shoulder can’t handle the weight of the pressure anymore. Yeah, Breakker took his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship and came up short, but he can put his head on his pillow knowing he lost to the Best in the World instead of someone claiming to be it. Rollins has the accolades and championships. He’s a first ballot WWE Hall of Famer. Rollins is the very best professional wrestler in the entire world… at being number two.
Rollins calls him “Baby Steiner” and says that was good. Did he do that on his own, or did he call Big Poppa Pump for his hook-up? Rollins says if Breakker thinks he’s ready, then Backlash is in two weeks. Rollins will give him the opportunity to prove he’s ready. Rollins will let Breakker in on a little secret: Breakker isn’t even number two in his family. Rollins tosses the microphone to Heyman and walks off.

-Commercial Break-
Becky Lynch addresses what’s next for her
Replay: Last Saturday at WrestleMania 42, Becky Lynch drove AJ Lee into the exposed turnbuckle and pinned her to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch says a lot of history was made at WrestleMania 42. She finally got rid of AJ Lee once and for all, ending her “horrible” title reign. Lynch put gold around the waist of someone who truly deserves it: herself. She became the first WWE Superstar in history to win four different titles at WrestleMania. She became the first-ever three-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion. She’s won more WrestleMania matches than any woman in history. She’ll be coming for Undertaker’s record next. She’s the greatest women’s wrestler of all time. It’s not just her saying it. Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report also say it.
What happened after the match was even better. At WrestleMania, she looked out and saw her baby girl in the front row. Lynch took her and walked up the ramp with her. Lynch wanted to show her what a real champion is. It’s not about the private hotels, jets, and meals; it’s about showing up in a rundown town like Laredo and showing up for common folk like them. They want her to be a fighting champion. They want her to defend the title against the best of the best, not just a nostalgia act. Lynch stands as a Man of the People. Lynch issues an Open Challenge. She wants to welcome someone to the Big Time.

Sky isn’t that. The crowd boos Lynch, but Lynch thinks they’re booing Sky. An “IYO” chant picks up. Lynch tries to stop them and says she understands that Sky is accepting on Rhea Ripley’s behalf. Lynch wants to be Becky Two Belts again. Lynch wants to fight Shawn Michaels, not Marty Jannetty. It’s clear Sky was holding her back.

Jey became World Heavyweight Champion on his own. Jimmy Uso has tons of potential, but he’ll never get there with Reigns. Jey warns Knight to stay in his lane. Jimmy says this is family business. Knight says the Bloodline had immense power, but it interfered with Knight, so it became his business. YEAH!
