Opening up Monday Night Raw was a Steel Cage match between Omos and Bobby Lashley. The conclusion of the bout saw Omos powerslam Lashley through the cage and Lashley eventually got up, got both feet on the floor and was declared the winner. On the 5/23 Raw, Lashley will be calling out Omos and MVP. Cedric Alexander interfered in the Cage match on multiple occasions in an attempt to help Omos.

Dominik and Rey Mysterio made their returns to TV and took out Veer. Theory was scheduled to go one-on-one with Mustafa Ali, but before the match began, Theory brought out The Miz to be the guest referee and then revealed that Veer would be Ali’s opponent instead. Veer submitted Ali to win the match and Dominik and Rey Mysterio returned to put an end to the post-match attack.

There was a tag match that saw AJ Styles and Finn Balor defeat Los Lotharios (Angel & Humberto). Balor and Styles got the victory and they were accompanied to the ring by Liv Morgan, who threw up the ‘too sweet’ with Balor and Styles after the match.

Alexa Bliss debuted her new theme song on tonight’s show before scoring a win over Sonya Deville for the second week in a row.

While Ezekiel versus Chad Gable was taking place, Kevin Owens joined commentary and made light of Jimmy Smith saying that Cody Rhodes had ring rust because he had not ‘wrestled in six years.’
