                    Bobby Lashley defeats Humberto Carillo

                    Carillo evaded a few big moves from Lashley, but Bobby caught him attempting a dive. He then grabbed a steel chair, but Carillo dropkicked the chair into Lashley’s face as Raw went to commercial. Back from the break, Humberto continued to evade and connect with kicks on Lashley. When he attempted to leap off the barricade, Lashley caught him and tossed him into the ring post. Carillo evaded a chair shot and connected with several chair shots of his own.

                    Back in the ring, Carillo came off the top rope but Bobby side-stepped and cinched in a full nelson for the submission victory.

                    When Raw returned from commercial, Angel Garza was wrestling Akira Tozawa. There appears to be an issue between Austin Theory and Angel Garza. With Tozawa hung up in the corner, Angel Garza hit a running PK. Garza hit the wing clipper for the pinfall victory.

                    Drew McIntyre defeats Andrade

                    When action spilled to the outside, Andrade crawled under the ring. He grabbed the arm of McIntyre and rammed it into the ring and then the post. Andrade cinched in the cross arm breaker over the top rope.

                    Drew McIntyre created some space and hit Andrade with a pair of overhead belly to belly suplexes. McIntyre climbed to the top rope and hit big chop. Andrade managed to knock Drew down in the corner, hit the running knees, but Drew McIntyre kicked out at 1. After Andrade hit the spinning back elbow, Drew McIntyre hit him with a Glasgow kiss.

                    The Iiconics came back. Nikki Cross did her best Iiconic pose. Royce and Kay challenge for the Tag Team Titles, but Bliss and Cross say they’re not putting the titles on the line. It doesn’t work like that. The IIconics say they don’t have to put the titles on the line, but they want a match.

                    IIconics defeat Bliss and Cross

                    Bliss knocked Peyton Royce to the outside and Cross trapped her in the ring apron. The Tag Team Champions isolated Royce until Peyton made a blind tag to Billie Kay. The Iiconics spent the next several minutes beating down Nikki Cross. Billie Kay hit Alexa Bliss in the throat and the Iiconics used their tandem finish to put away the champions.

                    Seth Rollins and Murphy vs. Aleister Black and Rey Mysterio Ends in No Decision

                    Seth Rollins came to the ring in a zombie like state. It appears that Murphy will be on his own. On multiple occasions, Murphy attempted to make a tag, but Rollins did not make himself available. Murphy kicked Aleister Black into the post as Raw went to commercial.

                    Back from commercial, nothing much changed. Mysterio elbowed Seth Rollins. This apparently snapped Rollins out of it. When Mysterio went for the 619, Rollins grabbed Rey’s legs. For some reason, the referee immediately called for the bell. Rollins yelled at Murphy.

                    The referee’s decision made no sense here.

                    Post Match

                    Seth Rollins jammed Mysterio’s eye into the corner of the ring steps.

                    Street Profits vs. Viking Raiders in a Basketball Game

                    The Raiders don’t know how to play at all. Mostly comedy. Final score 74-2.

                    Post Basketball Game

                    The Viking Raiders say they let the Street Profits win. Ivar then took the Ball and sunk a bunch of baskets and hit a slam dunk.

                    Shayna Baszler defeats Natalya

                    Baszler caught Natalya in the corner with a bunch of strikes. She then hit a pair of suplexes. Natalya evaded Baszler normal arm breaking stomp, but Shayna followed up with a knee strike to secure the pinfall victory.

                    Backstage Interview with King Corbin

                    Corbin dismisses tossing Black and Mysterio off the roof. He says McIntyre road his coattails for a year on Monday Night Raw.

                    Charly Caruso Invites Edge to the Ring

                    Edge says WrestleMania isn’t the end, and he’s not interested in continuing a feud with Randy Orton. He has closure on that. This brought out Randy Orton. Randy says “Congratulations. At WreslteMania, the better man won.” He then came back to the ring and said he couldn’t bite his tongue. Orton says, “At WrestleMania, the better man won, but the better wrestler did not.”

                    Randy says he doesn’t think Edge can beat him in a traditional wrestling match. Orton says that if Edge has the guts, then it will be Edge vs. Randy Orton in a straight up Wrestling Match.

                    Charly says that if it does happen, then it might be the greatest wrestling match ever.

                    Raw Preview

                    Women’s Money in the Bank Fallout

                    Becky Lynch (4-0) seeks to cut Asuka (5-5) off before she can do a surprise cash-in, but we’ll see what the Empress of Tomorrow has in store. Becky has a flawless record in 2020 with wins over Asuka on 1/26 and 2/10. She also has victories over Shayna Baszler, and Kairi Sane. Asuka is 50/50 on the year, but she has wrestled more than twice as many matches as the Raw Champion. In addition to the Money in the Bank match, Asuka also has victories over Ruby Riot, Natalya, Kayden Carter, and Liv Morgan. Her losses were to Shayna Baszler in the Elimination Chamber, to Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble, again to Becky Lynch on Raw, and also Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.

                    Edge and Randy Orton Rivalry is Apparently Not Over

                    Edge (1-0) is coming to Raw looking for Randy Orton (1-2). In Edge’s only singles match in 9 years, he defeated Randy Orton at WrestleMania. Orton has that loss and also another one to Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match with AJ Styles. His only victory for the year came with the assistance of a fast three count from a crooked referee in a match with Kevin Owens.

                    The Raw Tag Team Title Picture

                    The Viking Raiders (5-1) picked up a victory over the Street Profits (6-3) on last week’s episode of Raw. It stands to reason that the Vikings will want a shot at those tag team titles. Erik and Ivar hold two 2020 victories over the Street Profits in  a triple threat match and a standard tag team match. They also have victories over the Singh Brothers, Cedric Alexander and Ricochet, and Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Their only loss came earlier this year to Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy. The Street Profits’ record includes the two aforementioned losses to the Viking Raiders plus an additional loss to Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy. Their five victories include Mojo Rawley and Riddick Moss, Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink, Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy on 3/2, and 3/8, and Angel Garza and Austin Theory on 4/4 and 4/6.

                    What about Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black?

                    I’m wondering if they’re alive after being tossed off the building by King Corbin.

                    Note: I did not attended the May 11th episode of Raw live, but I do average at least one wrestling show per week. Follow the Minutes to Bell Time Instagram to see photos. Read about the live experiences here.
