WWE adds major last-minute stipulation to RAW match
Tonight's WWE RAW is shaping up to be a loaded episode. Superstars are chasing gold and seeking revenge on the road to the next few major premium live events, and tonight will be no different. A stipulation has just been revealed for what is sure to be a hard-hitting brawl on an upcoming episode of red brand.
Alpha Academy is fighting to keep its name alive. While Chad Gable left the faction to form American Made with The Creed Brothers, the group moved forward on the red brand with Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri. The former Shorty G told his ex-friends they could have the Alpha Academy name, but Otis and Tozawa must face Brutus and Julius Creed.
WWE previously announced Otis and Tozawa vs. Brutus and Julius for tonight's RAW. However, they will now compete in a Texas Tornado stipulation. It's interesting to note that Dupri is advertised to be with Alpha Academy, but Gable is not listed to be in the corner of The Creed Brothers.
Master Gable may be held off RAW to sell last week's loss in the main event, which saw The Wyatt Sicks make their in-ring debuts with a win over American Made.
WWE has also announced the following for tonight's RAW at Moody Center in Austin, Texas:
- Rhea Ripley will open the show
- Randy Orton will appear
- Odyssey Jones will appear
- Damian Priest vs. Carlito
- Alpha Academy vs. American Made
- Number one Contender's Match for the Women's Tag Team Title: Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark vs. Kairi Sane and IYO SKY
- 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker defends vs. Sami Zayn
CM Punk is advertised locally and on the WWE website. However, The Second City Saint has not been officially announced for tonight's episode.
