WWE Raw notes: Pat McAfee references comment about Caitlin Clark, Alba & Isla take action, Clash at the Castle

Braun Strowman and Rey Mysterio saved Dragon Lee from a beatdown via Carlito and Finn Bálor after Finn bested Lee in singles competition. When Strowman came to the ring, Pat McAfee called him a ‘big white son of a b*tch.’ Earlier in the day on his Pat McAfee Show on ESPN, McAfee said there’s ‘one white b*tch’ for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever who’s a superstar, referring to Caitlin Clark, who played college basketball at the University of Iowa. McAfee issued an apology afterwards for referring to Caitlin as that. Later in the show, during Kiana James’ Raw in-ring debut against Natalya, McAfee said a lot of GOATS come from Iowa. Kiana hails from Sioux City. 

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill put the WWE Women’s Tag Titles on the line against Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. The match was thrown out after Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn made a run-in. Isla stated that with Clash at the Castle in Scotland coming up and herself and Isla not being involved, it does not sit right with them. Isla is from Glasgow and Alba is from Paisley, Scotland. 

Ahead of the Clash at the Castle P.L.E., a Kickoff event is scheduled for June 14th. Scheduled for the Kickoff event is WWE Women’s Champion Bayley, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, Michael Cole, Piper Niven, Drew McIntyre and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. 

There was a singles match between Braun Strowman and Carlito. Strowman secured the win, but Dominik Mysterio attacked him afterwards. Strowman attempted to go after Mysterio, but Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan protected Dominik. Judgment Day’s J.D. McDonagh, Dominik and Finn Bálor beat down Strowman and while doing so, McDonagh repeatedly took a chair to the leg of Strowman.

Bron Breakker scored a win over Ricochet. Ilja Dragunov stopped Breakker’s post-match attack. Breakker versus Dragunov is scheduled for the 6/10 Raw. 

As Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair were making their way to the ring, Chad Gable could be seen in the background once again talking to The Creed Brothers (Julius Creed & Brutus Creed). Gable is challenging Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Title at Clash at the Castle.

Adding on to the 6/10 lineup is Otis versus Sami Zayn. 

Before Sheamus versus Ludwig Kaiser got underway, Kaiser went after Sheamus’ knee. Kaiser got the victory in their match.
