Elias made his triumphant return to WWE Uncooked this week, and within the course of, vindicated his brother Ezekiel.

Welcome again to a different Uncooked roundup, this time protecting the June 20 version of the present that includes a one-night solely Elias live performance, extra Cash within the Financial institution qualifiers, and Rhea Ripley dropping her title shot.

Right here’s a recap of the match outcomes:

Second of the night time: Elias and Ezekiel 

This was the whole lot followers have been hoping for and extra. 

First, the backstage section between Elias and Ezekiel was gold. It didn’t matter that the beard was clearly glued on. In actual fact, that little little bit of cheese might have made the entire thing even higher. The fist bump between them was hilarious.  

Kevin Owens then persevering with his campaign towards Ezekiel by interrupting the Elias live performance proper after was simply as nice.

Owens has been proudly owning this complete storyline. So, seeing him lastly come face-to-face with Elias and Ezekiel on the identical night time was the perfect. 

Plus, the straightforward digicam tips used made the entire thing enjoyable.

Greatest match: Carmella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Asuka vs. Liv Morgan vs. Alexa Bliss 

Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Asuka & Carmella Deadly 5 Manner | WWE on FOX

Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Carmelll and Asuka battled in a Deadly 5 Manner for an opportunity to face Bianca Belair for the Uncooked Girls’s Championship at Cash within the Financial institution.

With so many proficient rivals concerned, this was a given.

All 5 ladies placed on an entertaining match.

Carmella particularly seemed decided to win from the opening bell, so it was good to see her pickup that victory ultimately, particularly since she’s been absent from tv since WrestleMania.

This appears like a strong recent begin for the previous Ms. Cash within the Financial institution.

Further highlights:

Rhea Ripley has apparently been injured, in keeping with Bianca Belair, who broke the information throughout a promo in the beginning of Uncooked. 

Riddle appears to be shifting into a brand new program with Seth Rollins now that he’s unable to problem for the undisputed title. 

Lingering query: Will there be a MITB final probability qualifier?

You’d suppose with Becky Lynch on the poster, and Riddle shifting right into a feud with Rollins, that they’d each must be a part of the MITB matches.

Getting in through final probability qualifier looks as if a given for each.
