Paul Heyman Out “Indefinitely” After Seth Rollins’ Attack

As noted before, last week’s WWE RAW show featured Seth Rollins surprise attacking Paul Heyman and bloodying him after hitting a curb stomp.

Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington featured WWE commentator Michael Cole providing an update stating that Heyman had suffered a cervical spinal contusion, a facial lacerations and a deviated septum. Cole also stated that Heyman is currently out of action “indefinitely” as a result of his injuries sustained.

Bayley Wins Shot at WWE Women’s IC Title

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Bayley defeating Asuka, Ivy Nile, Raquel Rodriguez, IYO SKY, and Lyra Valkyria in a #1 Contender’s Gauntlet match for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

The order of entrants were Valkyria, SKY, Rodriguez, Nile, Bayley, and Asuka.

The order of eliminations were Valkyria, Rodriguez, SKY, Nile, and Asuka.

As a result of her victory, Bayley will be facing off against AJ Lee for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at next week’s show.

Danhausen Appears & Curses Original El Grande Americano

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Danhausen making another surprise appearance and cursed Original El Grande Americano.

During the show, Americano was seen walking backstage ahead of his match against Penta for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. This led to Danhausen showing up and asked Americano for his mask since he wanted one. Danhausen attempted to take Americano’s mask off so that he could try it on only for Americano to tell him to never touch a luchador’s mask. Americano then told Danhausen to go away so that he could focus on his upcoming title match. Danhausen responded back by cursing Americano and quickly disappeared while Americano was not looking.

This curse resulted in Original El Grande Americano being nowhere to be seen for his match and El Grande Americano II came out taking his spot instead as Penta looked on confused for a bit.

Finn Balor Splits from Judgement Day & Gets Beaten Up

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Finn Balor splitting from Judgement Day.

Balor’s split from Judgement Day was initially teased over recent months shows over Balor and Dominik Mysterio’s growing rift with each other in Judgement Day. During tonight’s show, Mysterio, Liv Morgan, & Raquel Rodriguez came out to the ring. Mysterio talked about losing his WWE Intercontinental Championship to Penta last week and blamed Balor for causing it to happen. Mysterio then called out Balor, who came out to the ring with JD McDonagh. After some heated banter between Balor and Mysterio revolving around Balor saying that maybe Mysterio’s dad was right about him being a spoiled little prick, Mysterio shoved Balor. This led to Balor hitting a Pele Kick in return and engaged in a brawl with Mysterio that was quickly broken up by the rest of Judgement Day. Mysterio was able to get free and resumed his brawl with Balor which led to McDonagh attacking Balor and Morgan and Rodriguez joining in. Judgement Day continued their attack that ended with Mysterio hitting two Frog Splashes onto a chair to Balor.
