Currier, Joseph (January 24, 2023). "WWE Raw 30th anniversary draws highest domestic gate in show history". Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online. Archived from the original on January 24, 2023 . Retrieved January 25, 2023. Imperium (Giovanni Vinci, GUNTHER, & Ludwig Kaiser) vs. Seth Rollins & Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) Weeks of tumultuousness and questionable decision-making have caused friction in The Bloodline. A wild Royal Rumble contract signing between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens, left The Bloodline wiped out in the ring and Sami Zayn holding the contract. And of course, WWE never holds an anniversary episode of Raw without calling in some legends from the past, and Raw XXX is no exception. Here’s who you can count on seeing in Philadelphia: The one odd thing about this whole show is how un-special it felt. Yes, it was nice seeing the Legends and everything, but the actual show itself just felt like any other show with a few pops here and there. I expected for the 30th Anniversary that WWE would have went all out, put on some Dream Matches with some of the Legends or really go to town with some of the retrospective parts as it just felt like if you hadn’t told me it was the anniversary show I wouldn’t have noticed.

Jey Uso (c) and Sami Zayn [a] defeated The Judgment Day ( Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio) (with Finn Bálor and Rhea Ripley) by pinfall Sami offers a passionate defense of his own actions, and to be made to defend himself on trial hurts, and his defense is that he has no defense. She tells Charlotte to do what she do, but not here, because she goes here now and she does everything she can to make sure that Raw is the greatest show on television. The Street Profits & Seth Rollins def. Imperium via pinfall. Kurt Angle was the special guest referee after he and D-X were confronted by Imperium.Like most Raw episodes it consists of only a few matches, just four matches. FOUR!? Yes I get that they have to push all the returning legends, but seriously this is a pitiful amount of wrestling. That being said, the Raw Tag Team Championship match between The Usos and The Judgment Day was a great match, but the issue I have is that both are Heel teams and so I was never sure who to actually cheer for. A great match bell to bell and both work really well together. Kurt Angle could be on the way to Philly as well, as he’s talked about on his own podcast (every WWE legend seems to have one now). Like Waltman, fans saw the Olympic gold medalist on Raw within the last year, as he got some help from fellow Olympian and WWE prospect Gable Steveson in putting one over on Alpha Academy. Paul Heyman immediately launchd into the role of prosecutor, delivering scathing opening remarks that begun with “ECW is dead...and I wish the same to Sami Zayn!” In a nice touch and not-so-subtle ECW Easter Egg, Paul Heyman deemed Sami Zayn “guilty as charged.” Bianca Belair def. Sonya Deville via pinfall after hitting a KOD. Ric Flair brought out Charlotte Flair to the ring and Belair was soon out to put the two women's champions in the ring together. Deville came out, demanding the spotlight and getting a match with Belair as a result. Renner, Ethan (January 16, 2023). "Two title bouts, steel cage match announced for WWE Raw is XXX".

We see the Steel Cage being lowered around the ring. The music hits and out comes Damage CTRL- Bayley with WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. Bayley heads to the cage by herself as we go to our first commercial break. So he asks everyone who wants Sami to stay in the Bloodline to throw their ones up, and Philadelphia obliges before shifting gears to a “Sami Uso” chant. Reigns rises and says, as his Tribal Chief and the Head of the Table, he finds Sami not guilty... CBS Sports was with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Sami Zayn earns redemption with The Bloodline It feels like WWE is using Sonya Deville as a placeholder until they decide what they’re going to do with Charlotte Flair this WrestleMania season.
