Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre had a intense match on Monday Night Raw, but the real story was what happened after. Seth thanked Sami Zayn for his help in saving him from Drew’s temper, leaving many questioning whether Sami truly meant to put himself first.
The question of loyalty is at the forefront when considering Sami’s actions. He initially said he would prioritize himself, but showed empathy towards Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens, showing a different side of his character. Kevin Owens even promised Sami that if he helped him win against Cody Rhodes, he would get his championship match.
Meanwhile, other storylines continued to unfold. Rhea Ripley got her revenge on Nia Jax after the latter’s attack on Raw earlier in the day. Rhea is now set to face Nia at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
In a surprising twist, CM Punk cut an emphatic promo that may have made him a contender for the Royal Rumble. The stage is now set for some exciting matches, particularly between Sami and Cody Rhodes as well as Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
It was another solid episode of Raw, with many storylines moving forward. But one question remains: will Jey Uso ever win that championship?
