WWE Monday Night Raw hit Philadelphia for the final United States show before Clash in Paris.
Another match was confirmed for Clash in Paris, while Roman Reigns’ plans for the European show were heavily hinted at.
Plenty of WWE stars have called Roman Reigns out, and The Tribal Chief is set for a first-time-ever bout in France.
Here are five things we learned from WWE Raw.
Naomi relinquishes Women’s World Championship due to pregnancy
After a week of speculation following her withdrawal from her Women’s World Championship defence against Iyo Sky, Naomi confirmed she was relinquishing the title due to pregnancy.
Naomi played this absolutely perfectly, dovetailing her current character with her behind-the-scenes persona.
She told Adam Pearce she wouldn’t be giving him her championship again before confirming there would be another addition to The Bloodline thanks to her and her husband, Jimmy Uso.
Naomi left the title in the middle of the ring, and warned anyone holding the championship in ‘nine months and change’ that she would be gunning for them.
This was a lovely moment and without a doubt the best thing on the entire show.
Becky Lynch defeats Natalya
Becky Lynch continued her dominance as Women’s Intercontinental Champion following her win against Maxxine Dupree on last week’s show.
Unfortunately, Natalya did not bring the ‘Nattie Neidhart’ gimmick she’s been stunning with in AAA and on the independent scene, but it was a solid match nonetheless.
Lynch picked up the win with an Arm Bar and attacked the Canadian legend after the match, which brought out Nikki Bella.
The two women look set to collide over the championship, but the date and location is yet to be confirmed.
Asuka continues to tease heel turn on Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley
Sky took on and defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a singles match, to bounce back from her defeat last week against Roxanne Perez.
The Japanese star picked up a comfortable win, but she was attacked by Perez and Rodriguez after the bell.
This brought out Rhea Ripley to even the odds, rather than The Kabuki Warriors, which was picked up on later in the night.
Asuka was furious that Ripley was allowed to help Sky, when she and Kairi Sane were told to stay out of the way.
The Kabuki Warriors’ heel turn looks imminent, and it will give Sky some much-needed direction away from the Women’s World Championship.
Sheamus vs Rusev is confirmed for WWE Clash in Paris
Following their intense brawls throughout the last few episodes of WWE Raw, Adam Pearce finally nipped Sheamus and Rusev’s feud in the bud before it could get physical.
The WWE Raw General Manager kept the two Europeans apart and told them they could decide their feud ‘one last time’ at Clash in Paris.
The match will be a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook and it has all the potential to be the best match at Clash in Paris.
These two men have turned water into wine with the very little they’ve been given since WrestleMania 41.
Jey Uso defeats Bron Breakker and Roman Reigns challenges Bronson Reed
Jey Uso and Bron Breakker collided in the first Extreme Rules match on WWE Raw for five years in the main event, much to the delight of the ECW-loving Philadelphia crowd.
The two men delivered a solid main event, but it was always set up for interference and that’s exactly what happened.
CM Punk and LA Knight tried to even the odds for Uso against Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins, but they were taken out.
That left Reigns to make the save and help Uso pick up the win against Breakker, before dropping a huge hint about his plans for Clash in Paris.
“I’ll see you in Paris,” Reigns screamed at Reed as the show went off the air.
