Raw Season Premier tonight. Corey Graves welcomes us to Raw and introduces his new partner, Kevin Patrick.
The Bloodline is out first. Roman calls out Jey for being a fool and being the loudest in the Bloodline. Sami interrupts and Heyman goes nuts, asking Sami if he’s crazy since you don’t interrupt the Tribal Chief. Sami asks Roman to handle the situation.
Sami tells Jey they all love him. But his actions as of late have not been very Ucey and then tells Jey to be cool. Do you think you can be cool? Jey asks if this is a joke as Sami tries to calm down.
Matt Riddle comes out and challenges Roman to a championship match. Roman asks the crowd who cheered yeah and Roman goes NAH. Then he says if you won’t step up maybe one of your Bloodline will. Sami then steps up and will take on Riddle tonight.
