Monday’s WWE Raw from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence served as the official go-home show ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution. The spotlight was on the newly formed faction led by Seth Rollins, flanked by Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and “Big” Bronson Reed—who made a statement by sweeping their matches nearly clean.
Bron Breakker crushed Sami Zayn, capitalizing on a pre-match attack by Karrion Kross before delivering three Spears to secure the pin.
Bronson Reed faced Jey Uso, ultimately winning by disqualification when he repeatedly slammed a chair into Uso, then landed two Tsunamis post-match.
In the main event, Seth Rollins barely edged Penta, using a low blow setup and a stomp for the victory.
The showdown didn't end cleanly. LA Knight stormed the ring post-match and delivered a sudden BFT to Rollins, stealing the spotlight and hinting at momentum heading into their upcoming clash.
Earlier in the night, a backstage promo had Breakker and Reed pledging their loyalty to Rollins and Heyman, with Breakker promising to eliminate Zayn and Reed declaring his intent to "Tsunami" Jey Uso back to respectability. Paul Heyman crowned the group the namesake of a powerfully dominant “empire” that strikes first—and fast.
Goldberg also made a surprise appearance, delivering a classic chaos moment by tossing Gunther, injecting nostalgia into Raw's high-octane atmosphere. Meanwhile, Roxanne Perez defeated Kairi Sane, as post-match interference from Raquel Rodriguez triggered the return of Asuka to confront them.
Overall, the show emphasized the rise of Rollins’ formidable faction, setting the stage for explosive matchups in the coming weekend.
