WWE Monday Night Raw preview and schedule: October 31, 2022

Roman
Reigns
makes
a
rare
appearance
on
Raw

Roman
Reigns
is
being
promoted
to
be
the
headliner
of
this
coming
episode
of
Raw.
This
appearance
comes
just
five
days
ahead
of
his
title
defense
against
Logan
Paul,
which
takes
place
this
Saturday
night
at
Crown
Jewel
in
Riyadh.

Going
into
the
Saudi
Arabia
WWE
premium
live
event,
Reigns
is
preoccupied
with
the
internal
problems
of
The
Bloodline.
Jey
Uso
hasn’t
been
able
to
control
his
anger
problems
which
led
to
disagreements
with
Sami
Zayn
in
recent
times.

During
this
past
episode
of
Smackdown,
Zayn
tried
to
bury
the
hatchet
with
one-half
of
the
Undisputed
WWE
Tag
Team
Champions
but
got
denied.
The
good
thing
is
that
Reigns
claimed
to
promote
Zayn
from
“The
Honorary
Uce”
to
“Sami
Uso”
for
his
efforts.

Now
that
The
Tribal
Chief
prepares
to
appear
on
this
week’s
Raw,
WWE
interestingly
doesn’t
advertise
his
Bloodline
cohorts
to
accompany
him.
As
a
crack
within
his
group
is
being
noticed,
we
can’t
wait
to
hear
from
the
group
leader.

Bianca
Belair
vs.
Nikki
Cross
non-title
match

In
the
finishing
moments
of
a
Championship
Contender’s
Match
between
Raw
Women’s
Champion
Bianca
Belair
and
Bayley,
DAMAGE
CTRL
members
Dakota
Kai
and
IYO
SKY
were
downed
by
a
sudden
aerial
dive
from
Nikki
Cross.

Thus,
the
former
Nikki
A.S.H
made
an
unprecedented
return
and
hurled
Belair
into
the
turnbuckle
before
planting
her
into
the
canvas
with
a
Twisted
Fisherman
Suplex.

This
allowed
Bayley
to
pick
up
a
win
over
the
titleholder
and
confirm
a
Last
Woman
Standing
title
rematch
against
Belair
at
Crown
Jewel.
But
The
Role
Model
was
eventually
attacked
by
Cross
by
the
end
of
Raw.

It’s
certain
that
the
2021
Money
in
the
Bank
briefcase
winner
has
found
back
the
previous
unhinged
gimmick
from
NXT
days
as
she
now
prepares
to
be
back
in
competition
against
none
other
than
Bianca
Belair
in
a
non-title
matchup.

Brock
Lesnar
appears
before
Crown
Jewel

Brock
Lesnar
has
been
on
a
path
of
destruction
since
returning
to
Raw
in
the
2022
season
premiere
episode.
After
manhandling
Bobby
Lashley
on
that
night,
he
was
back
for
another
confrontation,
last
week
that
didn’t
go
in
his
favor.

The
two
got
into
a
huge
brawl
where
The
Almighty
dominated
by
spearing
The
Beast
through
the
barricade.
Officials
tried
to
prevent
the
fight,
but
the
former
US
Champion
ended
the
segment
by
putting
Lesnar
down
with
a
spinebuster
through
the
announcement
desk.

Needless
to
say
that
Lesnar
is
in
a
fuming
state
en
route
to
his
rematch
against
Lashley
as
he
shows
up
on
Raw,
tonight.
The
question
is
if
he’d
be
able
to
fire
back
against
the
man
who
previously
defeated
him
for
the
WWE
Championship.

Riddle
vs.
Otis
Trick
of
Street
Fight

WWE’s
weekly
programme
around
Halloween
is
incomplete
without
a
Trick
or
Street
Fight
and
the
latest
one
will
see
Matt
Riddle
battling
it
out
with
Otis
as
the
ringside
will
be
decorated
accordingly
for
the
occasion.

On
this
past
week’s
Raw,
Elias
defeated
Otis’ tag
team
partner,
Chad
Gable
but
he
suffered
a
2-on-1
post-match
beatdown
by
both
the
members
of
Alpha
Academy.

Riddle
made
the
save
by
taking
both
the
heels
out
with
a
Bro
to
Sleep/Floating
Bro
combination.
But
now
he
will
have
to
step
into
the
ring
with
powerhouse
Otis
in
a
No-DQ
environment
on
the
final
episode
of
Raw
before
the
2022
WWE
Crown
Jewel.
