Steve Notes Raw 7/5/21
🕑 Added 2021-07-06 19:09:32 +0000 UTCWe open with MIz TV, I’m not hating on this cuz Morrison is great
THe four guests tonight are MITB participants
Miz says he’s an expert on MITB stuff, Morrison has drip all over him and its great, he says he climbs ladders like a water spout
Drew is the first guest
He says you are the reason I have a love/hate relationship with MITB
He brings up the Alamo, this is his new gimmick, history lessons, he says he’s a distant relative of davey crockett. HIs great great grandma or something. His people are known for legendary stories, and MITB will be no different, he says Morrison be super moist at MITB, cuz if MIz is out there, he’s gonna star in the story of the guy who had MOrrison’s head shoved up his ass
Morrison calls Drew a Splashhole
Ricochet comes out next
Miz rolls the footage of last week, Miz says that coulda cost both of your careers- Rico says that was just a taste of what I’m willing to do to grab the contract
Morrison calls Ricochet dry
Riddle climbs the ladder, Miz takes exception, he says I’m really high but my foot is still healing up, so I’m dedicating my performance to Randy Orton, he acts like he’s dead and points to the sky
Miz yells at Riddle
AJ Styles comes out, says you don’t speak for everyone MIZ, I was robbed of my opportunity to be in the MITB ladder match, Orton dropped out of the last chance qualifying match, therefore, there shouldn’t have been a triple threat match, it shoulda been one on one, Riddle got pinned- Riddle talks shit to AJ, asks Omos for a high five, Omos tips over the ladder, dumps the ladder out, AJ KICKS Riddle’s injured ankle, Omos tries to come in, Drew lariats him back over, Ricochet dropkicks Drip Drip
Ricochet vs. Morrison
More super fun stuff, Rico jumps off Miz’s wheelchair for a rana, MOrrison powerbombs him into the barricade instead
Standing Spanish Fly
The hell was that? Ricochet launches himself out the ring onto Morrison on the apron, MIz blocks Ricochet from getting back in the ring, Morrison wins via countout
Jinder arrives on a CHOPPER, he gives an interview, puts over how close they are, he says lately Drew has been too busy for him, does he think he’s better than me? Drew has already qualified for MITB, I should have been included, so tonight, I’ve demanded a match with Drew cuz I’ve always been better than Drew and tonight I prove it.
Nia Jax, Shayna and Reggie are backstage, he sees Alexa, then she isn’t there, Shayna yells at him, Nia says lets get on the same page
Nikki preaches to Asuka and Naomi about believing in themselves, Naomi says I’m happy you have this newfound confidence, Asuka says for the second year in a row, I’m gonna win MITB, then NIkki hears her theme song and runs out, Alexa comes up, says don’t get your hopes up on winning MITB
Alexa/Nikki/Asuka/Naomi vs. Niven/Eva Marie/Shayna/Nia
Nia wins with a Samoa Drop on Nikki, Eva claims the victory for herself

Backstage, Kevin interviews MVP and Lashley in the suite- he’s asked about changing the match to a tag match with New Day- he says standing in Lashley’s corner is an honor, but he won’t be disrespected, last week Kofi disrespected him. LAshley says I eviscerated Drew and Woods, so I deserved a vacation, then Kofi called me soft, so I’m gonna take his words from last week and shove them down his throat and hurt him, cuz we’re the HB
From last week, Mansoor was pissed at Ali over getting eliminated from the MITB battle royale, Ali says, I don’t want YOU to become ME
ALi vs. Mansoor
This is good stuff and Mansoor has great looking gold boots
Mansoor gets the upper hand, he’s aggressive, til Ali’s foot gets caught in the ropes and screams in pain, Mansoor helps him get free, Ali surprises with the rollup for the win.
**
Drew tells another ridiculous story
Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal
Mid March, Jinder finds himself on the outside, lures Drew in, then gives him a throat strike and suplexes him onto the announce table
HAHAH Drew hits a neckbreaker and air guitars, then hits futureshock
Veer and Shanky attack, DQ finish
**
They continue the attack, Jinder hits Khallas, then JINDER STEALS HIS SWORD!!
New Day Interview, they don’t need to change their strategy, Kofi says they’re trying to overcompensate for the truth bombs he threw, Bob came back from vacation early, so obviously what I said hit close to home. Woods said Bob is wrong about me coming back this week and they’re wrong about Kofi not winning at MITB. Kofi says I proved at Mania anything is possible, and I’m gonna prove it again blah blah Woods does throw in a FINNA BE A BREEZE tho
Mace/T-Bar vs. LHP
Lince has a Kane outfit and its so great
This is basically a squash favoring Mace/T-Bar
WHups, guess not, Metalik flies onto Mace on the outside, T-Bar gets caught with a rana pin from Lince for 3
**¼
Backstage, Riddle and Priest talk, Priest says you gotta think about staying healthy for MITB, Riddle mentions a story about says I’m gonna show AJ and everyone else, and Randy, wherever you are, that I’m gonna win at MITB with the three most dangerous letters in WWE, RKBRO
AJ Styles vs. Riddle
Riddle super nursing that foot
AJ keeps going after it
Riddle gets a little bit of offense in, but AJ is able to quickly take back over attacking the foot
RIDDLE GETS IN CRANE KICK POSITION, AJ MOCKS HIM AND STILL GETS CAUGHT
AJ tries PF, Riddle counters by pushing the ropes, then hits draping DDT
Riddle goes for moonsault, lands on his feet, tries for fireman’s carry, he collapses, AJ hits a rack slam, Styles goes for Clash, the Raiders surround Omos, Riddle rolls up AJ for three on the distraction
***
Charlotte comes out on a crutch, talks about the NBA playoffs being ruined because of injuries, then praises Rhea for taking her out cuz she knows she can’t compete against her if she’s out with injury, says this is probably something she would do if she knew she wasn’t as good
Rhea interrupts, on a crutch mocking Charlotte, again, who am I supposed to root for here?
Rhea is kinda funny overacting on the injury thing, she says you’re right, I did exactly what you woulda done, and I’m doing what you’re doing now, which is being a drama queen, they both kick their crutches away, Char takes her heels off, they both pick up the crutches, they have a terrible crutch duel, Char gets the higher ground, then Rhea gets it, barely misses Char, who escapes, this was dumb
Elais/Cedric vs. Ryker/R-Truth
Ryker pins Cedric with Bossman Slam after ELias ditches his teammate, this is awful
DUD
New Day vs. Hurt Business
MVP tries for a playmaker, Kofi counters into TIP for three
