WWE Raw: AJ Lee stirs chaos, Jey Uso strikes back at LA Knight

WEB DESK: Monday Night Raw in Milwaukee delivered a stacked show marked by AJ Lee’s long-awaited return, escalating rivalries, and Wrestlepalooza build-up.

AJ Lee, appearing on Raw for the first time in over a decade, manipulated Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins into accepting a mixed tag match at Wrestlepalooza, where she will team with CM Punk against the married duo. Lee confronted Lynch while wearing her Women’s Intercontinental Championship, mocking her recent black eye and issuing an ultimatum: reclaim the belt in the ring or agree to the match. Rollins ultimately accepted, despite Lynch’s hesitation.

Elsewhere, tensions in The Vision-Bloodline storyline intensified. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed targeted The Usos, leading to chaos when LA Knight got involved. Knight clashed with Reed in the night’s main event but interference from Breakker cost him the match. Post-match, The Vision attacked Knight until Jimmy Uso tried to intervene. Jey Uso returned to even the odds, though his alliance with Knight soured when he speared the Megastar afterward, declaring they were “good” only after the blow.

The undercard also delivered key moments. AJ Styles defeated El Grande Americano with help from Dragon Lee. Raquel Rodriguez overpowered Lyra Valkyria with a Tejana Bomb. Asuka beat Nikki Bella in a competitive bout, forcing her to submit to the Asuka Lock. Rusev defeated Penta after interference from The New Day disrupted the lucha star’s momentum. Meanwhile, Bayley appeared in a new vignette, reflecting on her past actions and hinting at redemption.

Backstage, Raw GM Adam Pearce navigated multiple rivalries. He confirmed IYO SKY would still face Stephanie Vaquer at Wrestlepalooza despite a canceled contract signing, while also booking Rusev vs. Penta following a heated exchange. The Judgment Day storyline saw tensions rise as Dominik Mysterio defended his ties with El Grande Americano, leaving Finn Balor and others suspicious.

The show blended nostalgia with forward momentum. AJ Lee’s candid promo about mental health and unfinished business struck a chord with fans, while rivalries involving The Vision, The Usos, and LA Knight set the stage for explosive Wrestlepalooza clashes.

By the night’s end, AJ Lee and CM Punk’s feud with Lynch and Rollins, coupled with the Bloodline-Vision war, ensured WWE Raw lived up to its promise of drama and surprises.
