Trust and loyalty were two of the most important themes on “Monday Night Raw.”
No one on the WWE Raw roster has confidence in Seth Rollins, while Liv Morgan questioned Roxanne Perez’s loyalty after her impromptu encounter with Finn Balor last week.
First, let’s go to Rollins.
“The Visionary” broke the trust of many when he teamed up with Paul Heyman to topple Roman Reigns and CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1 last year. He won the World Heavyweight Championship and brought Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed into his group, The Vision, which later disbanded under his direction. Breakker and Reed turned on him as he watched Austin Theory and Logan Paul join the faction before WrestleMania 42 arrived.

After Rollins lost to Gunther at WrestleMania 42, he turned his attention back to Breakker. And although Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins (the Street Profits) seemed to have his back, they made it clear that they don’t trust him. Trust issues became evident again after Breakker brutalized Rollins at the start of the show and then took over Ford and Dawkins later that night.
Ford and Dawkins jumped on Theory and Paul as Theory faced Joe Hendry in a singles match. Breakker handled Ford and Dawkins with relative ease. Rollins came out to save the Street Profits. But when Ford eliminated Theory and Paul on the outside, Rollins was distracted for a split second. It allowed Breakker to hit Rollins with another spear.
“Tez, thanks for bringing me that second spear, man,” Rollins said to Ford in the back.
“Well, Seth, thanks to your past antics with The Vision, no one, no one, trusts you,” Ford responded.
“Nobody trusts me. You don’t trust me. I don’t even know you (pointing to Hendry), you probably don’t trust me,” Rollins responded. “Guess what? I don’t even trust myself. Who cares? We’re in the same fight. You’re fighting The Vision, I’m fighting The Vision. Sometimes those fights will come together. Here’s the deal, you stay out of my way, I’ll stay out of your way.”
Rollins left with the last word. He will face Bron Breakker at Backlash on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Morgan tested Perez. He wanted to make it clear that “The Prodigy” was not going to side with Balor and further fracture the group.
“What the hell was Finn doing in the clubhouse last week? You see, I’m not worried about Finn, Roxanne, because JD is taking care of Finn tonight,” Morgan told Perez. “I’m worried about you. Why did Finn think it was okay to talk to you and why didn’t you tell me and why do I need to watch Netflix to find out what will happen on Judgment Day?”
Pérez said he didn’t say anything because he “made it very clear” to Bálor to leave the clubhouse and not return.

“You’re right, I should have said something. But Liv, you know I’m loyal to Judgment Day,” Perez responded.
Morgan made Perez promise not to keep “any more family secrets.” Perez agreed and repeated what Morgan told him.
Pérez later helped Morgan, Raquel Rodríguez and Dominik Mysterio distract Balor in his match against McDonagh. It seemed like Perez made it clear where his loyalties lie.
Morgan later said that Rodriguez and Perez would go after tag team champions Brie Bella and Paige.
Contract signing between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu

Roman Reigns was hot coming into “Monday Night Raw” after receiving a Tongan death grip from Jacob Fatu to end the show last week.
I didn’t want to hear anything Raw general manager Adam Pearce had to say. But after Pearce told him that Fatu wasn’t in the building yet, Reigns waited his turn to address the “Samoan werewolf” until later in the night.
The two met in the ring to sign the contract for their World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash. Reigns made it clear to Fatu that he was always watching him from a distance as Fatu worked his way up to WWE and becoming a main event player.
“I was the one in this company who kept the door open for Solo (Sikoa),” he said after Fatu mentioned that it was Sikoa who brought him to WWE in the first place. “Solo was the one who brought you in, huh? Well, guess what, I brought Solo and therefore I brought you. And I’ll be damned if there was no respect on my part in this business.”

Reigns questioned Fatu’s use of the Tongan death grip which he said Fatu used as a “desperate” measure.
“You don’t do that to family,” Reigns explained. “You don’t do that to yourself. You don’t do that to your ‘Tribal Chief’.”
Fatu stared at Reigns before answering.
“Yes, I’m desperate. Yes, I feel like it’s just me against the world. Yes, my back is against the wall. So I had no choice but to eliminate you, take this title and everything that comes with it,” Fatu explained. “And to keep it at 100, then I’m going to put a stop to this game and I’m going to squeeze every dollar and every cent out of it just like this company has been doing to our family for decades.”
Fatu said he has no intention of returning to where he came from and was as “desperate” as ever to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Reigns responded that he wasn’t just worried about Fatu’s “seven children,” but about the generations of his family that came before them and those that will come after them.
When Reigns said that Fatu was “beneath” him, Fatu got up and tried to put the Tongan control back on Reigns. Reigns threw a desk chair at Fatu. When Fatu attempted to take mortal control again, Reigns broke free. Fatu ended up getting the advantage in the end, finally releasing Tonga’s death grip on Reigns.
Fatu signed the contract and the match became “official.”

Sol Ruca takes a step forward with “El Hombre”
There were some celebratory moments on “Monday Night Raw” when newcomer Sol Ruca “officially” signed her contract with the Raw brand.
Pearce said he missed the days when he was in NXT and a “top of the line” prospect could sign a contract with a major brand. He said “today was one of those days” as he introduced Ruca to the crowd in Omaha, Nebraska.
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch interrupted the ordeal. She claimed that Ruca should have been given time to celebrate her own greatness and was upset that Pearce scheduled Iyo Sky in a match against her last week.

“Becky, it’s not all about you,” Ruca declared. “Everyone knows who you are. I know who you are. I know what you’ve done and I know everything you’ve accomplished. But the thing is, I didn’t expect to find out when I met you that you are exactly what everyone says you are… a rude, big-headed bitch.”
Lynch was stunned and asked if the crowd would let her talk to them like that. The crowd apparently backed Ruca in the exchange.
“I am Sol Ruca, and if you ever interrupt me again, I will not only kick your ass, but I will take your soul,” he added.
Lynch went to hit Ruca and slapped Pearce instead. Ruca hit Lynch with a Sol Snatcher to end the segment. Lynch appears to have a new challenger for her title.
