After 14 years of buildup, is the first singles reign of Jey Uso about to come to an end after just one month? The week prior to the Bad Blood PLE, Uso took out Intercontinental champion Bron Breakker in a crazy good match that featured the entire WWE Universe cheering Uso on. The way Uso is over challenges some of the best fan-fueled ascensions in recent times, similar to how popularity led Kofi Kingston to a title run back in the day. But is it coming to an end as quickly as it came together? Uso will respond to Breakker going back on his congratulations and attacking him as the two will square off once again for the title.
Also on this episode, fans should be prepared to witness the official unveiling of the Wyatt Sicks next mission. Last week they once again hacked the Monday Night Raw broadcast as their logo flashed during The Miz and the Final Testament were onscreen. This week, they declare.
Also on the agenda, the Raw tag-team elimination tournament continues and the Bronson Reed-Seth Rollins confrontation heats up. It should be an action-packed episode.

Match Results
Show Intro
Wasting no time, Seth Rollins attacks Bronson Reed on his walk into the arena, taking his suitcase and beating him with him. Rollins races to the ring and tells Reed to get in the ring. Reed powers through security and they rumble. Reed cross bodies Rollins off the apron and puts him on the announcer's table to prep for a Tsunami. Reed has to pick a security off his back and tosses him into every other security. He tries to land a Tsunami but Rollins rolls out the way, as the announcer's table explodes from the impact.
A+ start to the show.
New Day vs Authors of Pain - No. 1 elimination match
Tremendous tag action from New Day to start the match, trying to cut off the ring, moving in and out at a rapid pace. Eventually though the power of AoP takes over. The Miz shows up ringside, proving the allegiance with the Final Testament is going to be a real thing.
R-Truth comes out and attacks The Miz and Karrion Kross, and the confusion allows Kingston to roll up Rezar for the win. R-Truth stays behind as New Day leaves the ring, only to be surrounded by Final Testament. They start to jump R-Truth and Xavier Woods keeps Kingston from helping.
Lights out. Wyatt Sicks music. Lights up. Nikki Cross is on the top turnbuckle with Dexter Lumus, Eric Rowan and Joe Gacy go to work. They clear the ring, with Paul Ellering cowering in the corner and The Miz cowering in the middle of the ring. As the W6 wreck shop, leading through the crowd to backstage, The Miz rises, smirking how he avoiding the carnage.
Nope.
Uncle Howdy appears behind him. Ellering furiously tries to warn him, and that earns him the focus of Uncle Howdy's Mandible Claw, taking him down to the mat. A maniacal laugh as the scene cuts out.
Cinema.
Seth Rollins / Bronson Reed Part 2
Adam Pearce tried to give an interview and as Reed comes to interrupt him, Rollins attacks and they start brawling again.
Damage Ctrl vs Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez
Damage Ctrl starts with a dominant double attack, moving in and out of the ring against Raquel Rodriguez. A missle drop kick by Iyo Sky, and then another on the outside of the ring sends Morgan into the barrier right in front of Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend.
Sky attacks Jackson, Legend defends and DQs the match. They end up taking out Damage Ctrl ahead of their NXT match on Tuesday. Morgan and Rodriguez re-enter the ring to confront them for ruining the match, and Rhea Ripley's music!
Ripley takes out Rodriguez, takes out Morgan and is about to land a Riptide when Dom Mysterio appears to interrupt. He almost gets hit with a Riptide but he's pulled out the ring, too.
LWO vs Creed Brothers in tag-elimination match
The theme of tonight is clearly the more athletic tag team getting out to an early run and then the power side turning things around. Do better, bookers. Great move where Rey Mysterio stands on the second rope and pulls the top rope to give Dragon Lee clearance to dive through and take out both Creeds.
Julius Creed with a sweet Superplex but then multiple times he oversells when receiving punishment. Back to back turnbuckle moonsaults from each Creed Brothers was nice. A little Ivy Nile and Zelina Vega confrontation on the outside was a miss, but a 619 by Mysterio and then the Frog Splash from Lee earns the pinfall.
Jey Uso vs Bron Breakker for IC Title
A beautiful back breaker by Breakker on the ring apron is the first great move of the match. After another in the ring, Breakker lands a standing moonsault and gets a two count. Breakker lands a Frankensteiner but still no three count.
An Uso Spear turns the tide, but Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu come down in the crowd, flaunting tickets and telling him they're there to help. Uso returns to the ring, but ends up back outside when Tama Tonga appears and takes a Superkick to the face. Tonga Loa catches one too, causing Sikoa to step over the barricade.
Tired of being ignored Breakker races for a spear but Uso moves and Breakker catches Sikoa with the spear. That brings Fatu over the barricade for an insane staredown with Breakker. Uso catches them with a crossbody. The action is back in the ring, Uso gets two knees to the belly trying to land a splash. Avoids the Spear. He lands two Superkicks and then a Uso Splash but Breakker kicks.
Eventually the ref is distracted and Fatu catches Uso with a Superkick and slams him on the announcer's table. Breakker takes advantage and lands a Spear to win the match and take the title back.
