Here is your post-Monday Night Raw fight size update for April 10, 2023.

– Bobby Lashley battled Bronson Reed. The two powerhouses went back and forth, and Lashley struggled to trap Reed in the Hurt Lock. They fought to a double countout, and the two stars kept brawling until they were pulled apart after the bell.

– Cody Rhodes came to the ring and asked the fans what they wanted to talk about. He noted that he lost at WrestleMania 39. Rhodes took responsibility for the loss and described how his friend Matt talked to him after the match. He then recalled how Paul Heyman said he’d have to earn another title shot. Rhodes responded by saying, “I am it.” He brought up Brock Lesnar attacking him and pointed out that he heard about “The Beast Incarnate” being upset about his spot at WrestleMania. Rhodes wondered whether Lesnar was uncertain about the hype surrounding him. He questioned why Lesnar would be uncertain. Rhodes stated that while he’s scared of Lesnar, he wants to fight him, and he’d do it anytime, any place. Rhodes then challenged Lesnar to a match at WWE Backlash.

– Finn Balor faced Rey Mysterio. The two stars clashed in a hard-fought match, and in the end, the interference of Dominik helped Balor score the win.

– Rey Mysterio discussed is eventful year, including his Hall of Fame induction. He was quickly interrupted by Dominik Mysterio, who insulted his father and claimed he was better off with his real family, The Judgment Day. Dominik brought up the way Bad Bunny cost him his match against Rey at WWE WrestleMania 39. Rey warned that Bad Bunny will be back, and he teased that the popular rapper will be coming for revenge. 

– Lita was found backstage in the aftermath of an apparent attack ahead of her scheduled title match.

– Becky Lynch announced that Lita was taken to a local medical facility, so she would be teaming up with Trish Stratus instead. The duo defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan scored the upset win by pinning Stratus to win the titles. After the match, Stratus turned on Lynch and attacked her.

–  In an interview, Paul Heyman expressed his confidence that Solo Sikoa would handle the Kevin Owrns problem later in the show.

– Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) showed some signs of dissension when Bayle got herself a chance to compete for a shot at the WWE Raw Women’s Championship, and her stablemates made it clear that they wanted an opportunity instead.

– The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) faced Alpha Academy (Otis & Chad Gable). Gable and Otis delivered a valiant effort, but in the end, The Usos scored the win with the 1-D on Gable.

– IYO SKY faced Dakota Kai and Michin in a Triple Threat Match for a shot at the Raw Women’s Championship. KAI ultimately pinned Michin with the Over the Moonsault to clinch the victory.

– Kevin Owens, without Sami Zayn by his side, took on Solo Sikoa in the main event. Owens clearly wasn’t 100% after Sikoa brutally attacked him on SmackDown, but he kept fighting. The injury and the interference of The Usos (Jimmy and Key Uso) cost him the match, as Sikoa pinned him with the Samoan Spike. Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle saved Owens from a post-match beatdown. 

– Matt Cardona responded To Cody Rhodes referencing his friend “Matt.”

– On Raw Talk, IYO SKY vowed to win the WWE Raw Women’s Championship.

– Elsewhere on Raw Talk, Rick Boggs stood up for Elias when he felt like Byron Saxton was disrespecting him in an interview. Elias looked ahead to the draft and noted that he would bring Boogs wherever he went.
