The July 22, 2019 edition of WWE RAW took place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

– John Cena comes out to the ring to kick off tonight’s show. Cena gets on the ring and talks about how glad he is to be back, and says this is his home. Not his house near Tampa, but the WWE ring, is his home. Cena says he knows he isn’t around as much as he used to be, but he’s as excited to be here right now as he’s ever been, and it’s time to get this show on the road. Cena introduces The Usos, who come out to the ring with microphones. The Usos get in the ring and say what would make this RAW reunion even more lit would be Cena and The Usos dropping some rhymes. Cena starts to walk away, but The Usos provoke him and call him the Doctor of Thuganomics. They say Cena left them for the movie business. Cena gets back in the ring and starts rapping at The Usos, and says they look just like their mugshots. The Usos trade some rhymes with Cena, and then they introduce their father Rikishi. Rikishi comes out to the ring and gets on the mic. Cena starts to leave, but Rikishi tells him to back that ass up and get back in the ring. Rikishi says he knows Cena is the man, but tonight he can’t let Cena leave fast and furious without busting a move. It looks like Rikishi, The Usos and Cena are about to do the classic Too Cool dance, but then The Revival interrupts, and they have company, D-Von Dudley.
