WWE Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso and Bron Breakker Segment
• Tonight’s WWE Raw is opened with WWE Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso making his terrific entrance. Jey Uso says The Intercontinental Champion, “Main Event” Jey Uso is now in your city. Hey, my first singles championship, I’m going to fight every week for it, and I’m going to fight anyone who wants it, YEET. I appreciate y’all. I love y’all. Thanks for rocking with your boy. Thanks for having your boys back, through all the years. I love you. Very special for me, man. I go to walk to the ring with my son, Jace, by my side. It was a hard road to get here, uce.
Jey Uso continues, my own family made it hard for me. Roman made it hard for me. My whole life, I’m just a twin. My whole wrestling career, I’m just a twin. They didn’t know me. They know me now, though. My biggest fan, out of me and all my brothers, it’s my mother. I spoke to my mother. She said, go out there, and show them who you are. She said, go out there, and get it. I got it, and momma, we did it. YEET!
Bron Breakker interrupts Jey Uso. Bron says I’m not out here to spoil the fun, crash the party or whatever you want to call it. I’m out here because of the respect I have for that championship, alright. You know this, they know this, the lineage goes back a long way, man. After battling it out with you last week, bro, I got the same amount of respect for you.
Bron continues, I told the world, a couple weeks ago, the whole much that championship meant to me. It was my family, that the right superstar, the one who deserves this should walk out that night, with the championship on the shoulder, the better man. And on that night, you were the better man. I’m not going to spear you. I’m not going to attack you, alright. I just felt like, I don’t know, I should be the first one to come out here, as a competitor, as a colleague, congratulations.
Jey Uso says, hey, Bron. There’s some dogs in Indiana, uce.

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre Segment
• Adam Pearce welcomes everyone and continues that as part of my professional responsibilities, that I take very seriously, is the delivery of our main events, and our special attractions. And on Saturday, at Bad Blood, I plan on delivering one hell of a special attraction. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will go to war inside the unforgiving steel structure you see surrounding the ring. And I can assure you, that after Hell In A Cell, their war will be over. Because it has to ends. But to get to Saturday, we have to make it through tonight. And that means, there will be no physical battle between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, tonight in Evansville. There can’t be.
However, I’ve granted both competitors the opportunity to fire off one last parting shot in their very bitter war of words. Please join me in welcoming our competitors in Hell In A Cell, this Saturday. First, The Best In The World, CM Punk. And his opponent inside Hell In A Cell, “The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre. Alright, gentlemen, I’ve given you the time. Before we get to Hell In A Cell, any last words?
Drew McIntyre says he will go first and continues perhaps you’re wondering why I’m wearing the black. Well, it’s out of respect, and it’s not out of respect for you, because I have literally less than zero respect for you. It’s out of respect for your wife. After this Saturday, what I do to you, she’s gonna have to feed you, she’s gonna have to bathe you, hell, she’s probably gonna leave you. You also might have noticed, this is a tux, because for the rest of the world, it’s going to be a celebration where you’re gone, and you’re not coming back this time.
McIntyre continues to be back in less than a year. You’ve been injured for four months, and you’re going to be gone forever, and it’s all thanks to Drew McIntyre. What, you don’t want to talk? I can talk all day. I can talk to all the people here. You have been listening to me for ten months, you’ve been watching what’s been happening for the last ten months, and even after all of the evidence that’s been presented to you, you still chant his name. You know, Roxanne Perez, the NXT Women’s Champion, she worshiped this man, wanted to be like him, got into wrestling because of him. And she spent a few days with him, and realized what kind of person he truly is, eventually, you have to look yourself and realize who the idiots are around here. I can see the hatred burning through you. Maybe you have nothing to say, but I’m glad.
Once upon a time, I was even a blimp on your radar, you hate me, and I hate you. You taught me how to hate. There was a time where I had no time for hate in my life, only love, surrounding yourself with the people you love, doing what you love. But hate, you taught me is a powerful weapon. It’s a powerful weapon if you use it correctly. But it’s dangerous, because it could stay with you for a long time. That’s why it’s lucky for me, this Saturday, inside Hell In A Cell, at Bad Blood, that hate will die with you.
Now, CM Punk says Throughout my entire career, people have called me a lot of things. Best In The World. Second City Saint. Voice Of The Voiceless. Tonight, I am voiceless, because I have nothing to say to a piece of garbage like you, expect I am filled with so much rage I look at you, I can’t go home. I’ve been living in a hotel for four weeks, because I will not subject my wife to the man all of this has turn me into. You, you son of a bitch, you have turn me into the fictious boogeyman that all of my harshest critics accuse me of being. And that’s exactly who I need to be inside Hell In A Cell, Saturday, to send you home to Scotland, in a box.
I want you to remember, and never forget, that you prayed for all of this, and it happened. And on Saturday, when you are locked inside the cell with me, and I have taken everything from you, and your fear subsides, and you’re gripped with nothing but panic. On your hands and knees, crawling, begging, you will look up, and I will wipe the blood from your eyes, so you can see me. And it’s not a god you’re praying to, it’s not the devil you’re praying to, you will be praying to CM Punk. I will see you in hell.

The Judgment Day and The Terror Twins segment
• Finn Balor says Damian, I heard what you said last week, that you’re going to rip my heart. Amigo, you all of people should know, I don’t have a heart. And at Bad Blood, I’m going to prove to the world that it was you that needed us, it was you that needed me, and that The Judgment Day never needed Damian Priest.
Now, Liv Morgan says I’m going to prove that I am a homewrecking, man stealing, heartbreaking, title taking, greatest Women’s World Champion of all-time. And Rhea, at Bad Blood, Daddy Dom is going to walk into that shark cage.
Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest interrupts. Rhea says Liv, I was with Dom for a very long time, so I know all about his dirty little secrets. Fellas, if you could please bring the shark cage for some dramatic effect. One of them secrets, Dom, is that you are extremely, and when I say, extremely, I mean extremely claustrophobic. So, at Bad Blood, when you’re locked inside this shark cage, crying, soiling yourself, cleaning yourself off with your brand-new merch, you’re going to have the best seat in the house, to watch your little girlfriend realize, that when she’s in there, all alone, that she’s not as good as me. And you’re going to watch as I win the title that I never lost. But as for tonight, I think we’re done talking. The Judgment Day lays out The Terror Twins to close this segment.

And the only way to transform Damage CTRL is to get those titles back. Damage CTRL is still the most dominant force in the history of the women’s division.
