WWE Monday Night RAW Results: November 7, 2022 - Winners, Recap, Grades & Highlights
The Bloodline kicked off WWE RAW, but it was only The Usos and Solo Sikoa. The Usos bragged about beating The Brawling Brutes before warning The New Day. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston came out and said that they will win this Friday, but the Usos called them the second-best tag team in WWE.
Do you side with #TheNewDay or @WWEUsos here?

The two teams were arguing about who had a harder time in the WWE before Riddle came out with his bongos and asked the groups if they wanted to hit it. Jimmy Uso got in on the fun, but Jey slapped Riddle away, leading to a six-man tag team match being set up.
"Tap tap pass, dude!"
