Ricardo's hopes are dashed by the time Raw comes around. Paige declares intentions to destroy Becky Lynch, a dark determination in her eyes. He sits down to watch as she faces off with her former teammate, Becky not backing down at any point. Paige's anger works against her and her attempt at holding Becky's tights during the pin is reversed on her, and Becky uses Paige's gear to hold her down until the three count.
"Oh no," Ricardo murmurs to himself, tugging at his long hair as Becky's hand is held up in victory... just for Paige to come out of nowhere and attack her, sprawling her out over the announcer's table and stretching her out in the PTO. He's aware of how Paige's submission works, that she needs a good base to hold onto the move, but with an unsteady surface like the announcer's table, well, it would make her lose her balance all the easier and tear on Becky's arms even worse.
He tugs at his lips and grimaces until finally, Charlotte comes out to save her friend, Paige quickly escaping. Ricardo breathes a little easier once it's all over, the worse of the drama coming to a close for now.
After watching Miz lose to Ziggler in the tournament of matches to choose a new champion for Seth Rollins' vacated title, Ricardo listens half-heartedly as Alberto and Colter once more try to sell their MexiAmerica idea to the British people. It clearly doesn't go very well.
Releasing a blustery breath, Ricardo turns the TV off and runs his fingers through his hair. He's not sure where to turn first- facetime Paige, or Alberto, or both... but before he can come to a decision, one of his students come running up. "Tour guide is here!" he exclaims, eyes shining as he grips Ricardo's arm. "Come come, let's go!"
A small group of them had decided to go on a bit of a tour of the nearby area, it had been planned for weeks, so Ricardo nods and sticks his phone back in his pocket. "Yes, let's go," he agrees. He knows that, eventually, he will have to face reality and not keep pushing aside what Paige and Alberto are doing, but for now... for now, he will do his very best to enjoy the Indian holidays.
