Mysterio and Penta reminisce about the previous week, where Mysterio defeated Austin Theory by disqualification preceding Penta’s intervention. They mutually inflated their self-importance by disparaging The Vision. It’s plausible this could culminate in an official tag team formation — even with the potential reformation of The Lucha Bros remaining under WWE’s control. Nonetheless, they form an entertaining alliance.

The aggression persisted behind the scenes courtesy of Rodriguez. Pearce appears, menacing Rodriguez with a monetary penalty. For a moment, I anticipated he would utter “terminate,” which, in truth, would have been appropriate. However, it’s fine. Nevertheless, we adhere to the concept of contenders failing to secure victories yet still obtaining championship opportunities.

According to the announcers, Vaquer sustained an ankle impairment during her three-way contest against Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez in the preceding week. Vaquer grasps the microphone and begins to display deep emotion. She expresses gratitude to her supporters for an outstanding year and asserts that her ailment will not deter her — at which point Rodriguez initiates an assault. Frankly, her evident annoyance and this aggressive action lack substantial logical basis. Fortunately, Rodriguez’s specific targeting of the ankle implies that the injury is likely a storyline element, for reasons unknown. A genuine injury would suggest that this championship might indeed carry misfortune. Yet, the attack also appeared to be a method to remove Vaquer from televised appearances. There’s much to dissect here, but none of it is especially favorable.

Jimmy Uso consistently demonstrates his superior verbal communication abilities whenever presented with the opportunity. In essence, the siblings simply commemorated their achievement by proclaiming themselves the premier tag team until another duo surpasses their standing. Understood. Agreed.

Having secured the World Tag Team Titles for the ninth occasion in the previous week, The Usos have arrived in Brooklyn for their commemoration. It will be intriguing to observe the immediate trajectory for this pair now that they have rejoined the tag team ranks. Specifically on Raw, this category has been largely lacking in narrative development.

While widely anticipated, NXT talent Je’Von Evans has now officially joined the Raw roster. The influx of fresh faces persists, following prior showings by Trick Williams and Jordynne Grace during the most recent SmackDown broadcast.

Stephanie Vaquer was observed behind the scenes wearing a protective walking boot.
