Fans think WWE is teasing the most heartbreaking betrayal in plain sight: What you may have missed on RAW

WWE presented another exciting edition of RAW from the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The show featured plenty of matches and segments. The Backlash 2023 match card also took some shape this week on the red brand.

Another highlight from the show was the six-man tag team match which pitted the team of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle against The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio). After the match, a huge brawl broke out between the two teams, The Bloodline and LWO.

Fans took to Twitter after the show to provide their reactions. Many commented on Kevin Owens’ apparent lack of passion during the show. The Prizefighter seemingly did not display the same passion he usually brings to the show.

This has led some fans to wonder if WWE has already lost faith in the team of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and could be preparing them for an eventual breakup sometime down the line.

The two won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship from The Usos in the main event of WrestleMania 39 Night One.

Rhea Ripley turned Kevin Owens upside down on WWE RAW

Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle teamed up to take on The Judgment Day in a huge six-man tag team match on the red brand this week. The crowd was firmly behind the babyfaces but popped for Rhea Ripley as well.

The Eradicator did her job well and distracted the babyfaces. At one point during the match, Rhea almost took Kevin Owens out of his boots with a running clothesline outside the ring. The hard lariat turned Owens upside down as he fell to the floor. Ripley then quickly sneaked to the barricade to avoid being identified by the referee.

Earlier during the show, WWE teased a potential showdown between Ripley and Solo Sikoa. The two had a staredown during Bloodline’s segment with The Judgment Day.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
