With just days to go before Saturday Night’s Main Event special, the card is rounding out following a segment on “WWE Raw.”

Sol Ruca called Becky Lynch out to the ring after the IC champion blew her off backstage. When Lynch told Ruca that she belongs in “NXT,” she responded that she’s good at proving people wrong and challenged her on the spot. Lynch turned her down and says Ruca isn’t ready. She suggested Ruca think about whether she’s really ready to face her. If she is, then they’ll have a match at SNME, but she warned her, “I’m not just a star maker, I’m a star breaker.” Ruca wasn’t phased and replied that at Saturday Night’s Main Event, “not only when I snatch your soul again, I’ll snatch that title.” Lynch refused to put the women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line before leaving the ring, however, and the match was later confirmed as being non-title.

Lynch vs. Ruca comes less than a week after two matches were added to the lineup. The Vision will defend the World Tag Team titles against the Street Profits. Ethan Page will challenge Penta for the Men’s IC title. SNME is on May 23 from Fort Wayne, Indiana. It comes just one week before Clash in Italy and three weeks after Backlash. It is also the night before AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

AEW’s Paul Wight, formerly known as Big Show in WWE, is one of the best-known giants in professional wrestling history. Fans may know that Wight was diagnosed with acromegaly, a rare growth disorder most often caused by a benign tumor near the pituitary gland, something he underwent surgery for at 19. The now 54-year-old star sat down on “High Performance” to chat about his life and career, and explained how he’s feeling and taking care of himself.

“The only thing now that’s tough is time, bones,” he said. “A lot of things that give you your gifts and your strength when you’re younger, the amazing athleticism and power and all that stuff, in time, you can’t carry that size and mass around, so you have to find a way to make yourself healthier. For me, at 385 [pounds] now, 350, 340 looks really healthy for me now. Another 30, 40 pounds off, it’s easier to move, walk more… I’d love to be able to go on a hike through the mountains. ‘You, hike?’ I’d like to know that I could if I wanted to.”

Wight said that he’s lucky that he didn’t have many bad side effects of acromegaly. He explained his joints are fine after two knee and hip replacements, and he doesn’t have the sinus issues often caused by acromegaly, either. Wight joked that he does have to deal with the “freakiness” of his size, and it’s difficult for him to buy gloves and watch bands.

The former Big Show’s most recent match came in July 2024 on the Jericho Cruise, where he scored a victory alongside Chris Jericho and “Speedball” Mike Bailey against the Don Callis Family.

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu are set for the third-ever Tribal Combat match in WWE history as their intense feud continues on. The pair, alongside the Usos, opened Monday’s edition of “WWE Raw.”

Fatu called out Reigns, but instead, Jimmy and Jey Uso came out. Their interaction quickly led to a brawl, with Fatu locking in the Tongan Death Grip on Jimmy, but Jey nailed him with a chair shot. Reigns’ music then hit and he made his way down to the ring to confront Fatu with right hands.

Reigns tried to hit a Superman Punch, but Fatu got the Tongan Death Grip locked in on him instead. The Usos beat down Fatu and tangled him up in the ropes, where he was hit with multiple Superman Punches and double superkicks from his cousins. They untangled Fatu, only for Reigns to hit him with a spear, leaving Fatu laying in the ring.

“Raw” General Manager Adam Pearce came out, looking to fire Fatu after he failed to acknowledge Reigns, as was the deal following their Backlash match, but Fatu interrupted him by getting on the microphone and challenging Reigns to a Tribal Combat match. Reigns quickly accepted, and on commentary, Michael Cole mused that the match could take place at Clash in Italy, and the match was later confirmed for that PLE.

Former WWE United States Champion LA Knight has been missing from “WWE Raw” since shortly after WWE WrestleMania 42, but according to a new report, the “Megastar” isn’t injured or involved in a contract dispute. The last time Knight was seen on WWE programming, he seemed to be starting a feud with GUNTHER, but plans have since changed.

According to Fightful Select, those they spoke to in WWE and others familiar with Knight’s situation said he is just off television, and his absence isn’t due to an injury post-WrestleMania six-man tag match, where he and the Usos emerged victorious. It is also not related to any of the recent releases following the event, and Knight also reportedly isn’t involved in a pay or contract dispute, after multiple stars were reportedly asked to take a pay cut following WrestleMania.

Fightful also confirmed that creative changed post-WrestleMania for a number of stars, presumably including Knight, as GUNTHER is now on “WWE SmackDown” and will challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for the gold at Clash in Italy. The outlet didn’t report any possible creative for Knight moving forward, and there was no word on when he may return.

Knight was last seen in the ring alongside Jimmy and Jey Usos at WrestleMania 42, in the opening match of night one. The team took on The Vision’s Austin Theory and Logan Paul, who teamed with IShowSpeed. After Paul turned on his former friend, Knight and the Usos helped Speed take out the heels. Knight was last seen on WWE TV on the “Raw” after WrestleMania, when he confronted GUNTHER in a backstage segment, where he said he was also after the World Heavyweight Championship.
