Live Look In to the Trainer’s Room
Sporting a nice, nasty bruise (I think) underneath a giant ice pack, Natalya is trying to put some weight on her injured knee despite protests from Ronda Rousey. In comes Nia Jax to apologize for injuring Nattie, since that wasn’t her intention, and it leads to a big disagreement between the three superstars. Natalya storms off (as fast as she can with a busted wheel), and Ronda and Nia come to blows.
She may be friends with both of them, but @NatbyNature has had ENOUGH of the verbal jabs between @NiaJaxWWE and @RondaRousey. #RAW pic.twitter.com/K1MMCFcxXv

I’m kidding, of course, they did absolutely nothing. Because why would they? At least we’re finally planting the seeds for Natalya to turn on Rousey.
Raw Tag Team Champions Have Some Words
Renee Young is out to interview the Raw Tag Team Champions, and it goes about as well as you would expect. Wyatt and Hardy are bonkers, and Renee quickly loses control of the proceedings.
With the Tag Team Battle Royal up next, Wyatt and Hardy don’t seem too worried about who may be their next challengers. Bray, in fact, thinks that no matter who is victorious will suffer before being deleted.

We did determine, though, that Renee Young is woken. So there’s that. I still haven’t figured out just how I feel about the standing ovations. In a promo like this, I could see it. In a match, though, it just feels wrong, even in a comedy match. You should never have to beg for accolades, whether for you or your opponent. Let the crowd make up their own minds, you know?
