We are in Mexico City, Mexico. Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves are on commentary. 

We see Roman Reigns arrive on a plane and see Penta ride in on a horse. 

Rey Mysterio comes out. Adam Pearce is in the ring. He says Raw is here for the first time in 15 years. Rey says he thinks it will be a historical night. We see clips of Stephanie Vaquer beating Liv Morgan for the Women's title in Chile on a house show this weekend. Rey then brings out Steph.

Dom says he only sees a deadbeat and a cheater. Dom says he's what a real champ looks like and Rey says didn't he lose his title yesterday? We then see clips of Rey counting the pin against Dom last night at Triplemania. Dom challenges Rey and Steph to a mixed tag right now. Pearce says Rey isn't cleared due to his neck.

Thoughts: It had the usual bad logic with the women doing stuff to the men and the men not even trying to get a cheapshot in on them. As always with these bouts, it was basically 2 different matches and that limited the quality of it. Then we had a DQ finish on top of it. It was average.

The Judgment Day attack after. Dom grab Rey by the neckbrace. Grande step up enzugiri's Dom. Grande runs the ropes and JD flying headbutts Grande. JD top rope moonsaults Grande. Liv hits oblivion on SV. Dom top rope splashes Rey.

Thoughts: Having Cass take the pin here was just dumb. They just had to protect Theory, who loses all the time anyway. I have no idea why they did that. The match was alright otherwise with a ton of flying around and high spots. I think Evans got his ear busted open here. The sitout torture rack bomb on Cass was a wild spot.

The Uso's talk and say they will get theirs back on Royce Key's crew. Jacob Fatu comes in. He asks is they really think the best play is to set things off with Roman in a title match tonight.

Thoughts: It was a moves based match here with both guys flying around. They went a little overboard as typical with Lee's matches. Lee's tope con hilo on the table was a new spot. Chad thankfully won this one. 

Chad hugs Lee after.

Bayley does a video. She says Lyra made her pass out then tried to make sure she couldn't make it back. She says Lyra tried to use everything she stands for against her.

They trade forearms on their knees then get up and trade shots. Penta hits superkicks. Penta springboards and is hit with a superman punch. RR spears Penta and pins him.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. RR kicked out of 2 canadian destroyers here en route to victory. Roman never takes bumps like that and hopefully doesn't again. The crowd was real into the idea of Penta winning and thankfully they didn't do it here. At least it was a little different than the usual Roman match though.

Overall thoughts: The opener was average and ran into the usual issues mixed tags run into. Evans' three-way was alright but having Big Cass lose was stupid. Gable/Lee was more of a moves based match and not my thing. Kelani's three-way tag was average. I didn't care for the main either as it was the usual indy Penta match and somehow he got Roman to go along with it. The show had a bunch of near random matches here without a ton of build. The Bloodline/946 feud had no developments whatsoever here and The Vision played almost no part in this show. The show was also heavily geared towards Spanish speaking audiences and that didn't interest me so much. I'd give it 4 out of 10 as I didn't think it accomplished much outside of the ring and I didn't like the wrestling that much either. It was below average.
