Monday Night Raw Fallout: Alliances, Betrayals, and Future Title Pictures

By Ovi Muniz, host of the HHWShow
This week's Monday Night Raw delivered a mix of shocking moments, emotional twists, and seeds planted for potential dream matches. Let's break down the highlights.
1. Kabuki Warriors, Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky – A Collision Course?
Asuka opened the night with an apology to Iyo Sky for her actions last week, offering her support. Iyo, determined to stand alone, defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a hard-fought match. But the real drama unfolded after the bell. Roxanne Perez blindsided Iyo with a vicious attack.
The surprise savior? None other than Rhea Ripley, who rushed to Iyo's defense. This led Adam Pearce to book Rhea vs. Roxanne Perez for next week.
The bigger story here is the potential partnership of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. Could we be looking at a powerhouse tag team to rival the Kabuki Warriors? A feud between Ripley & Sky against Asuka & Kairi Sane could elevate the women's division while setting the stage for a chase at the tag titles.
2. The New Day and Grayson Waller – A Risky Alliance
The New Day continue to ride high with Grayson Waller at their side. But is this truly a winning combination? Waller has been relentless in trashing his former partner Austin Theory, and while he's clinging to The New Day's success, his singles credibility hasn't kept up.
Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods struggle in singles matches. Kingston is set to face Penta next week, a chance to break the slump. Waller seems desperate to belong, but how long before his ego drives him to sabotage the very group that's keeping him relevant?
3. Bayley – Haunted by Defeat
Since losing her world title to Nia Jax at SummerSlam 2024, Bayley has spiraled. Failed title matches against Tiffany Stratton, Giulia, Lyra Valkyria, and Becky Lynch have only deepened the wounds. Missing WrestleMania due to injury, then sitting out this year's SummerSlam, has left Bayley in a dark place.
Her recent behavior—claiming she's "hearing voices"—feels eerily similar to Randy Orton's infamous descent. The question remains: Can Bayley overcome the shadows of her past failures, or are we witnessing the unraveling of one of WWE's greatest women's champions?
4. Naomi's Emotional Announcement
On Stephanie McMahon's podcast, Naomi, joined by husband Jimmy Uso, revealed joyous news—she is expecting a child. Naomi officially relinquished her title, leaving the division wide open.
The timing raises key questions: How will WWE crown a new champion? Iyo Sky was owed a rematch, yet circumstances delayed it. Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer is officially lined up as the No. 1 contender, with her shot scheduled for Clash of Paris.
Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer seizes the opportunity and walks out of Paris as the next WWE Women's World Champion.
Final Thoughts
Raw set the stage for multiple intriguing arcs: potential tag team wars with Ripley & Iyo, an unstable alliance with Waller & The New Day, Bayley's psychological battle, and the reshaping of the women's title picture.
The HHWShow will keep a close eye as these stories unfold—because WWE's road ahead looks unpredictable, and that's exactly how we like it.
