WWE RAW REPORT: CODY VERSUS SOLO, GUNTHER IN ACTION, REY VERSUS PRIEST, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-03-27 23:00:00

Corey Graves and Adam Pearce are in the ring with a referee and a scale.

Corey brings out Omos with Montel Vontavious Porter.

Porter says this is one final opportunity to see the specimen that is Omos.  Porter gives Brock credit and says he respects him.  You have walked in the ring at Wrestlemania and imposed your will against some of the greatest like Kurt Angle, Goldberg, and Roman Reigns.  Porter mentions Brock ending the Undertaker's streak.  Porter says unlike those men, you cannot suplex Omos.  You cannot F-5 him.  You will not defeat him at Wrestlemania.

Omos gets on the scale and he weighs in at 410 pounds.

Porter says Brock is a bad man, but he isn't badder than Omos.

Brock's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

We have a video package for Charlotte Flair.

Byron Saxton is with Rhea Ripley.  Byron asks Rhea if she has a response to Charlotte's comments.

Rhea says there is no denying how great Charlotte's legacy is.  She does not have to reminded every week she is a 14 time champion.  Charlotte's legacy will not define her destiny.  Rhea says she must prove that she is the best and become the biggest star in the industry.  Rhea says she needs Charlotte's title to prove it.  Charlotte cannot stop her from becoming the new Smackdown Women's Champion.

We go to commercial.

Finn Balor says it was always going to be this way.  You are familiar with the Cell and you say you thrive in the cell.  Now you want to lock yourself in the cell with him.  Don't you know there is nothing more dangerous than a caged demon.  Go to your dark place, light your candles, and do whatever you need to do to unlock it and summon it.  Finn says he doesn't summon his demons, they are always there, you just have to look closely.

Maxxine watches in the back and she is not happy with Otis.

Cody Rhodes is with Cathy in the back.  She asks Cody if tonight's match makes him vulnerable for this weekend.

Cody says he lives for this position.  Solo is undefeated.  He hasn't been pinned or submitted.  If Roman or Paul were here, you need to ask them if he has a chance tonight or at Wrestlemania.  They would cackle maniacally.  Cody says he would ask why is Roman's enforcer facing Cody six nights before Wrestlemania.  Has he earned it?  Cody says he has earned it and he has lived it.  Tonight, Solo finds out that he is not ready.  At Wrestlemania, he beats Roman to become the Undisputed Champion.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a video package for Bianca Belair.  Liv says there is nothing Bianca can't do.  She says as soon as they saw her, they knew she would be a star.  Corey says Bianca has IT.  Montez says he can talk about how proud he is of Bianca, but look at her dominance.  Beth says it is special to see role models like Bianca.  Molly says she is proud of what she accomplished.  Kevin and Cody talk about how Bianca and Asuka is a must see match.

We go to comments from Austin Theory.  He says this Saturday he loses everything, according to you John Cena.  You are wrong.  You seem to think you exposed him on this mic.  You exposed yourself.  The one thing John Cena can't see is the future right in front of his eyes.  You wanted to hit me with a reality check that nobody believes in him.  You might wonder why I am in this arena alone.  There is nothing different between being in the middle of this ring in an empty arena or a full SoFi Stadium.  He isn't doing this for the fans or to be the next John Cena.  He is doing it for himself.  He had a plan before anyone had an opinion about him.

He says it is sad that he would let John go down as the hero but you made it personal.  It will be fitting that so many look up to you because you will look up at me.  You will believe in Austin Theory.  The WWE Universe you love so much will stop believing in you.  It will happen this Saturday at Wrestlemania.

We are back with the announcement that Stacy Keibler will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
