#Raw Fantasy Booking Wrestling: Universe Mode

ROYAL RUMBLE IS THIS SATURDAY!

🔴 Rousey, Ripley, Rodriguez, and Doudrop brawl into oblivion: 10min*

Announced last Monday on Raw, it'll be Ronda Rousey defending the SmackDown Women's Title in a MASSIVE Fatal 4-Way Match against Rhea Ripley, Doudrop, and Raquel Rodriguez.

Neither of these women can look at each other's eyes, and tonight it was recipe for catastrophe when they stood in the ring at the same time, it quickly erupted to an all out brawl! Who will take the Title home this Saturday?

**Coming up: Grayson Waller Effect debuts! + Austin Theory's IC Title Canada Open Challenge + Omos vs Sam Rigleer - Falls Count Anywhere!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Grayson Waller will give the "Grayson Waller rub" to The Judgment Day.

NXT North American Champion Grayson Waller had crossed paths with The Judgment Day a number of weeks since his debut four weeks ago!

Tonight, Grayson Waller wants to start clean with The Judgment Day on the premiere of Grayson Waller Effect.

🔴 Legado del Fantasma w/ Escobar & Vega vs. ma.çé & mån.sôör w/ Maxxine Dupri: 4min*

Legado del Fantasma have been teasing their debut on Raw since being announced at the Draft moving from SmackDown.

Tonight, they make their Raw debut against Maximum Male Models.

Legado del Fantasma win.

**Still to come: Emma-Aliyah-Madcap Moss love triangle?

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Emma tells Madcap Moss to go easy on Aliyah.

Emma returned to WWE a month ago on Raw where she confessed her love to Moss during his breakup with Aliyah, who played factor in every defeat he faced for several weeks.

Madcap Moss seemed happier with Emma but Aliyah never got over him, continuously causing a distraction in his matches.

Aliyah showed up last week where her personal issues, again, caused a distraction to Madcap Moss, handing Grayson Waller an easy win. Later that night, Moss was very aggressive in addressing Aliyah to stay out of his life.

Tonight, Emma confessed to Moss that she didn't like the way he addressed Aliyah.

🔴 Edge rushes to Austin Theory's Canada Open Challenge: 7min*

Austin Theory has been a dominant Intercontinental Champion for most of this year and he looks to prove his "intercontinental" excellence when he faces a Canadian native on Raw Goes Canada.

"You think you know me?" and the crowd goes wild! Edge instantly accepts Austin Theory's challenge! Theory's facial expression changed all of a sudden from a smirk to a look of worry.

***BREAKING: Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Jey Uso + Cody Rhodes to return in the Royal Rumble Match this Saturday!

🔴 Edge vs. Austin Theory (c) - Intercontinental Championship: 12min*

In a thrilling impromptu match, Austin Theory went to the limit as he struggled to keep up with Edge's heavy hitting offense.

Austin Theory's exhaustion would grow visible as the Rated-R Superstar continues to get back up.

In the end, Edge would hit a devastating spear that would leave the champion in a spiral of pain for the count of three.

Edge wins and shocks the world as the NEW Intercontinental Champion!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Rollins and McIntyre's Royal Rumble declaration sees opposition from Pretty Deadly.

Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre have had each other's back for a couple of weeks on Raw but with the Royal Rumble coming up this Saturday, they had to wave goodbye.

Well that was until Pretty Deadly showed up to give them a reality check.

🔴 Seth Rollins & Drew McIntyre vs. Pretty Deadly: 9min*

Rollins and McIntyre's partnership extends to this "one last beatdown" of Pretty Deadly.

It's safe to say that this statement was "pretty" misleading as McIntyre delivered a claymore to Rollins by mistake where he dropped immediately in position for a roll-up by Kit Wilson while McIntyre was thrown to the outside by Elton Prince.

Pretty Deadly wins.

🔴 The Judgment Day take over The Grayson Waller Effect: 10min*

"It's the era of The Judgment Day" words of Grayson Waller as he tries to build a peace pact with the new force that runs WWE on The Grayson Waller Effect.

The Judgment Day captured the Raw Tag Team Titles from, then, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, two weeks ago on Raw.

Right now, The Judgment Day is the first and only to achieve this feat, causing a crack in The Bloodline.

With Rhea Ripley having a SmackDown Women's Title Match this Saturday, next week could be the greatest night of their career. What will happen at the Royal Rumble?!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Bobby Lashley and Mustafa Ali argue Royal Rumble merit.

Mustafa Ali has suffered two consecutive weeks of misfortune against Austin Theory with the exposed turnbuckle always causing a loss.

Tonight, Mustafa Ali thinks positiv-ali and looks ahead to the Royal Rumble Match this Saturday.

The Almighty Bobby Lashley is desperate to win the Royal Rumble Match and hates when other people think they will do it this Saturday so he wasted no time standing in the face of Mustafa Ali.

🔴 Sonya Deville vs. Indi Hartwell w/ Candice LeRae: 6min*

The vicious Sonya Deville, who took out Asuka a couple of weeks ago, faces the debuting Indi Hartwell!

Sonya Deville wins and ruins Hartwell's fairytale debut.

🔻 BACKSTAGE: The Judgment Day mock Ricochet for requesting a membership.

Ricochet interrupts The Judgment Day in their locker room, requesting to join them. A moment of silence was followed by a round of laughter with The Judgment Day clearly showing their disinterest.

Finn Balor suggests he faces Ricochet later tonight.

🔴 Bobby Lashley vs. Mustafa Ali: 9min*

Bobby Lashley is a desperate man looking to get back on top of the mountain and winning the Royal Rumble has become his obsession.

Tonight, he battles Mustafa Ali!

In a highly physical match, Bobby Lashley wins. Is Lashley winning the Royal Rumble Match this Saturday?

🔴 Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett vs. Akira Tozawa: 4min*

Before facing LA Knight and Gunther this Saturday in a Triple Threat Match for the US Title, Karrion Kross is in singles action on Raw!

Three weeks ago, while awaiting Sam Rigleer for the scheduled face-to-face confrontation, Sam Rigleer showed up with a toy trophy and awarded it to Omos for his cowardly performances through out his career. Rigleer than proceeded to smash the trophy on Omos' head before leaving the ring for cover!

The next week, during MVP's VIP Lounge, Omos described Sam Rigleer as a roadblock in his career and wants to crush it to the side of the road.

Tonight, Sam Rigleer and Omos throw down all over the arena in a Falls Count Anywhere Match where Omos mopped the floor with the first-ever Universal Champion Sam Rigleer.

Sam Rigleer wins in a sudden moment to end a thrilling episode of Raw!

Royal Rumble, this Saturday.
