Notes from Monday’s WWE Raw which featured Nikki Bella’s return, El Hijo del Vikingo, plus a new character teased for Bayley.
Nikki Bella’s return —
The WWE Hall of Famer made her return to Raw after missing last week’s episode in saving Natalya and Maxxine Dupri from a post-match attack at the hands of Becky Lynch.
After Lynch defeated Natalya in a Women’s IC title match, she refused to let go of the Disarmher on Natalya. Dupri attempted to save, but Lynch quickly did away with her. Bella then ran in and laid out Lynch.
Bella challenged Lynch to an IC title match in her last appearance on the August 4 Raw, but that bout has yet to be confirmed.
Later on Raw in an interview with Byron Saxton, Bella revealed that she will be at Raw next week in Birmingham, England.
El Hijo del Vikingo —
AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo made an appearance on Monday’s show in an angle to build to his title defense against Dominik Mysterio at Worlds Collide on September 12.
Mysterio was ringside for Finn Balor and JD McDonagh vs. Dragon Lee and Mr. Iguana on Raw. After Balor and McDonagh’s win, Mysterio cleared the announce table and threatened to put Lee through it. Vikingo ran in for the momentary save, but ended up overwhelmed by The Judgment Day, with Mysterio nailing him with a frog splash.
Bayley —
The latest in a series of vignettes teasing a new character for Bayley aired during Monday’s episode.
Bayley’s inner monologue was heard speaking to her and calling her out in some sort of split personality gimmick.
