The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.
WWE Raw Results
Raw this week had the retirement ceremony of wrestling legend Rey Mysterio. At least, it was scheduled to. We also were promised an Apollo Crews United States Championship defense and Asuka versus Charlotte. What else went down on Monday night? Here are the results:
- Aleister Black def. Seth Rollins
- Apollo Crews (c) vs Kevin Owens goes to a no contest in a United States Championship match
- Apollo Crews & Kevin Owens def. Angel Garza & Andrade
- Viking Raiders def. Street Profits in a bowling match
- Billie Kay def. Nikki Cross
- R-Truth def. Rob Gronkowski (c) to win the 24/7 Championship
- Nia Jax def. Kairi Sane
- Charlotte def. Asuka
- Drew McIntyre def. Bobby Lashley
WWE Raw Takeaways
Of course the Rey Mysterio retirement wasn’t real. It was a set up by Seth Rollins to get under the skin of his rivals. After a package highlighting Rey’s career (including the eye injury inflicted by Rollins) Aleister Black came out to confront the Monday Night Messiah. These two put on a quality match, with Black getting the win. Does this feud have the legs to get to a gimmick match for these two?
Maybe, but it may be Dominick Mysterio who gets the match. Dominick cut a good promo alongside his dad about how Rollins needs to pay at the hands of someone from their family. What an angle to debut Dominick as an in-ring talent if that is the route they go. Dominick said an eye for an eye, so let’s’ see if Rollins is sporting an eyepatch soon.
Rob Gronkowski is a champion no more. I was really excited for him to get tackled by someone in week one and lose the belt to Marshon Lattimore, but instead we get the 24/7 title back with R-Truth.
Nia Jax had reportedly injured Kairi Sane in an unsafe spot during this week’s episode. Kairi tweeted the cut she received when Jax threw her into the steel steps. Jax will continue her march to facing Asuka, but the question around her safety in the ring remains a pertinent one.
You are strong. I have lost to you many times. I am small and you may think I’m weak.
However, you can never beat my heart. I will get back up again. #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/leXMwuiifO— KAIRI SANE カイリ・セイン (@KairiSaneWWE) June 2, 2020
These Street Profits-Viking Raiders segments are still weird, yet I still am a fan. Eventually they’ll wrestle, right?

Goddamnit am I gonna miss you Grant…I didn't cry all night you did FU…fyi : Danny Havoc was not just a fearless and creative performer but also a talented artist and graphic designer. In fact I asked him to design the first AEW Mox shirt, he created the grenade design.
