The RAW Women’s Title match is now set for the inaugural WWE Day 1 pay-per-view.
Tonight’s RAW saw Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch trade shots on the mic after Lynch bragged about last week’s successful title defense over Morgan. Morgan pointed to how Becky used a handful of tights to win, and then challenged her to a rematch at WWE Day 1. Morgan ended up attacking Lynch and getting the best of her until Lynch used the steel ring steps to smash her elbow up.
Lynch then accepted the challenge for Day 1, and made her exit while officials tended to Morgan.
The WWE Title match has been changed once again.
WWE Champion Big E will now defend his title in a Fatal 4 Way at Day 1. His challengers will be Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley.
The match was originally announced as Rollins vs. Big E, but then Owens defeated Big E via DQ in a non-title match on the November 29 RAW, after interference from Rollins, and due to the stipulation Owens was added to the title match at WWE Day 1. Lashley then attacked Big E, Owens and Rollins last week, and opened tonight’s show making it clear he wanted a shot at Day 1. It was announced that if he could beat Owens, Rollins and Big E in singles matches, then he would be added to the match at WWE Day 1 to make it a Fatal 4 Way.
Tonight’s RAW saw Lashley first defeated Owens, with Owens quickly submitting to The Hurt Lock to avoid injury. Later on Lashley defeated Rollins, in a match that had to be re-started after Owens tried to secure Rollins as the winner by disqualification. Tonight’s RAW main event then saw Lashley defeat Big E in a No DQ bout, in a match that saw Big E and Lashley fight off Owens and Rollins before they could finish.
