As the old saying goes, if at first you do succeed but don’t win the championship because you won by countout, try, try again.
OK, that’s not actually how any adage goes, but it does apply to the situation Carmella finds herself in as WWE Raw heads to the Amalie Arena in Tampa tonight. Because Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair kept getting distracted by the presence of Becky Lynch, Carmella was able to beat Belair, even though it didn’t mean the title changed hands.
Can she depend on Big Time Becks still living rent-free inside Bianca’s head and parlay that into a championship during the rematch this week? Probably not, since Belair vs. Lynch at SummerSlam is the more marketable option, but it’s interesting to ponder.
Also, you may have heard that The Miz and Logan Paul teamed together successfully at WrestleMania only for Miz to stab his partner in the back after the bell. Big shocker, that.
Miz thought the two men would bury the hatchet and re-form their team, but Paul put the kibosh on that as soon as he signed his WWE contract. He’s made no bones about the fact that he wants a match against Miz for SummerSlam, but so far it hasn’t been finalized. Paul will be on Raw tonight, so that might change by the end of the show.
Not in Tampa nor around a TV tonight? We’ve got you covered, as we’ll be updating this very post with WWE Raw live results all evening long. Drop back in any time between 8 and 11 p.m. ET for the latest.
