Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage for WWE Raw.

We’re less than a week away from WWE Crown Jewel and, as per usual, the fallout from the show has been sizeable. All that jazz aside, WWE did a fantastic job of covering its ass with the NXT invasion storyline on SmackDown this past Friday night. Tonight the invasion storyline is set to continue the build towards Survivor Series, later this month. That alone should make tonight’s Raw a must-watch show.

Elsewhere tonight, the WWE Champion, the Beast, Brock Lesnar, comes to Raw in search of Rey Mysterio. Brock quit SmackDown on Friday night – perfect timing, what with Raw lacking a marquee Champion – and Heyman says he wants to annihilate Rey Mysterio for attacking him after Crown Jewel. It’s always fun to see The Beast in hunt mode and tonight should be no different.

There isn’t much else known about tonight’s Raw, but we can expect The O.C. to boast about their big successes in Saudi Arabia, Becky Lynch to find a new challenger in Asuka or Kairi Sane, Braun Strowman to murder someone to regain his momentum, and the drama between Lashley/Lana/Rusev to continue.

And that’s the preview. Remember to follow along via the Ringside News app, or by following us on Instagram and Twitter. Enjoy the show!

Monday Night Raw

WWE Raw opens in the parking lot, with three black SUV’s pulling up. Out steps Triple H of the first car, then he walks to the second and tells whoever is inside to wait. The fans are already chanting “NXT”! Triple H walks into the arena as the intro plays.

Paul Heyman and the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, make their way to the ring and The Beast means business. Heyman introduces himself and his client,  then reiterates that Brock is here to find Rey Mysterio. Heyman mentions that, following the 2019 Draft, Raw traded Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to SmackDown, which gave the red brand future Draft considerations. So, as of now, Brock Lesnar’s contract has been given to Raw. But that does not mean Seth Rollins can go to SmackDown, nor can Roman Reigns come to Raw, it means that Brock is different.

Heyman asks, “does that mean Brock Lesnar is better than you?” Yes it does. He also says Brock is better than all the “bitches” in the back, who think they’re tough guys. Heyman says that somebody here tonight knows where Rey Mysterio is, and Brock will find out, even if he has to slap every man in the crowd. He then mocks the fans from Long Island and says they’re dumb enough to think they could slap Brock back. He gets back to Mysterio and says someone will give-up Rey, because otherwise Brock is going to turn the arena upside down in order to find him. Heyman says that tonight is the funeral for Rey Mysterio’s career at the hands of Brock Lesnar, and then they leave.

We head backstage and see Brock walking around, screaming for Rey. He grabs a nearby stage hand and slams him on a table, screaming at him if he knows where Rey is. The guy doesn’t answer so Lesnar just tosses him and walks off.

*Commercial Break*

We’re back live and Brock is terrorising more people backstage, and this time the guy says he thinks Rey is in a black car over the way. Brock walks over and rips the door off the car and yanks the guy out by the leg. It isn’t Rey, so Brock angrily breaks the car door and stomps off.

The Kabuki Warriors are in the ring for tag team action. They’re joined by Charlotte Flair, then we’re treated to a video highlighting the women’s match in Saudi Arabia. Natalya comes out next, as Charlotte’s partner.

The Kabuki Warriors Vs. Charlotte Flair & Natalya

The match begins with Natalya and Kairi Sane. They lock-up and Natalya takes an wrist-lock. Sane reverses it but Natalya flips out and hits a spinning powerslam for a one-count.

Sane tags Asuka and she locks-up with Nattie, who takes her down with a kneebar. Asuka reverses into an ankle lock but Natalya rolls out. Nataya kicks Asuka and takes a front facelock but Charlotte tags herself in. The Queen slams Asuka by the head, then looks for an exploder suplex but Sane comes in. Nattie comes in and she and Flair hit stereo suplexes on the tag Champions. Asuka and Sane roll from the ring as we take a break.

*Commercial Break*

We’re back and Asuka has Natalya in a headlock. Nattie fights up and drops Asuka with a shoulder tackle. Natalya grabs the legs but Asuka kicks her off and rolls from the ring. Natalya runs out and around to Asuka but gets dropped with a kick. Asuka puts Natalya back inside and applies an armlock.

Asuka tags Sane, and they hit a double team kicking combination. Sane takes applies a submission to Natalya and taunts Flair. Nattie throws Sane off but gets clocked with a dropkick. Flair and Sane start scrapping, allowing Natalya to hit Sane and make the tag.

Charlotte comes in with chops to Sane and a big boot to Asuka on the apron. Flair hits a fallaway slam and kips-up, followed by Natural Selection but Asuka breaks-up the pin attempt. Charlotte goes out after Asuka and drops her with a forearm. Flair rolls Asuka inside and hits a big knee, then drags Asuka and Sane together towards the corner. Charlotte scales the ropes and hits a moonsault to both women but Sane kicks out.

*Commercial Break*

We return as Flair is literally millimetres away from a tag and stays there until Sane runs in and stops her. Kairi beats Flair down in the corner but then gets dropped with a big boot. Flair crawls to Natalya again and this time she makes the tag.

Nattie hits a Russian leg sweep to Asuka, followed by a discus clothesline. Natalya hits a rope-assisted atomic drop but Asuka lands on her feet and takes a headlock. Natalya fights out and hits a German suplex. Natalya looks for the Sharpshooter but Asuka counters with an armbar. Natalya screams in pain and tries to turn over but Asuka transitions into a triangle. Natalya reverses into the Sharpshooter but in comes Kairi Sane to break it up. No sooner has Kairi broken it up when Flair connects with a Spear. Natalya then re-applies the Sharpshooter and Asuka taps.

Winners: Charlotte Flair & Natalya

Just as soon as the last match ends, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out and make their way to the announce table. Heyman has a microphone and he asks the announcers where Rey Mysterio is. He asks The King where Rey is and says if he doesn’t answer, he will release The Beast. And this time if The King dies, nobody will resuscitate him. Dio Maddin then gets up and in the face of Lesnar, who knees him, delivers a few forearms, then picks him up and hits an F5 through the announce table!

Lesnar and Heyman take the title and are about to walk-off when Rey Mysterio comes running out with a steel pipe and starts beating Lesnar. He beats him in the legs and back, then grabs the WWE Championship and hits Brock in the head with it, sending him rolling down the ramp!

*Commercial Break*

We see a video from during the commercial, in which Brock Lesnar tried to get to his feet and make his way up the ramp but could barely walk.

Rey Mysterio cuts a promo backstage, in which he says Brock tried to take everything from him. But an eye for an eye and he’s fighting fire with fire. He plans to take what is most important to Brock: the WWE Championship. He asks if Brock will be man enough to come for him at Survivor Series.

Buddy Murphy Vs. Cedric Alexander

The bell rings and Murphy takes a headlock. Cedric shoots him off but he gets dropped with a shoulder. Murphy misses a few punches and gets dropped with a headscissors, followed by a dropkick that knocks him from the ring.

Murphy pulls Alexander out of the ring and rams him into the barricade. Buddy chops the chest of Alexander, then looks to do it again up against the ring post but misses and hits the post! Alexander hits Murphy and gets him back in the ring, only for Murphy to pull the apron inside, distracting the referee and allowing him to hit a cheap shot. Murphy tosses Cedric into the ring post shoulder-first, then takes him down with a submission.

Alexander fights to his feet but Murphy slams him down, shoulder-first. Buddy continues to target the arm, yanking it and grinding it down.

Cedric looks for the handspring kick again but this time gets cracked in mid-air with a leaping knee. Murphy’s Law is the end for Alexander.

Winner: Buddy Murphy

We see a replay from the start of Raw, when Triple H arrived with two SUV’s, followed by highlights of NXT invading SmackDown.

Seth Rollins is shown walking backstage, he’ll be out to discuss Crown Jewel, next!

*Commercial Break*

The Beast-Slayer, former WWE Universal Champion, Seth Rollins, makes his way to the ring.

Rollins starts off by asking, “so what’s next for Seth Rollins?” He says he has to be honest, it’s been a rough week, and a rough few months. Seth says he’s not dumb, he hears the fans, he knows that there is a lot of people who were happy that he lost the Universal Championship. The fans cheer.

Rollins says he doesn’t give a damn. He says he isn’t concerned with that. What does concern him is that The Fiend took the Universal Championship to SmackDown. What concerns him is that Brock Lesnar is back on Raw with the WWE Championship. What concerns him is that everything he worked for, an entire year of fighting to change the landscape of WWE, to take the title from Lesnar and be a fighting Champion who gives people like Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman a shot, has all been for nothing. It feels like a waste. So what’s next for Seth Rollins? He doesn’t know. Seth says he’s all about redesigning, rebuilding, etc., but he doesn’t know if he has the energy. He doesn’t know what’s next.

Triple H comes out and gets into the ring to a loud “NXT” chant. Triple H asks Seth rhetorically, “you don’t know what’s next?” He says everytime Seth is directionless, they seem to cross paths. And a wise man said that it’s often best to walk backwards to go forwards. Triple H says that Seth came to him and said he didn’t know what was next, but shortly thereafter he was the first-ever NXT Champion. He put the brand on the map. The next time Seth came to him and said he didn’t know what was next, The Shield was born. When that came to an end, he came back to Triple H, and he became the WWE Champion. Seth interrupts and asks if all that was for his benefit, or Triple H’s? The Game says regardless of who it was for, it ended with Seth being a Champion, every time.

Triple H brings-up NXT and Seth says they invaded SmackDown when half the roster was stranded overseas. Triple H agrees and says that was smart. He says that isn’t really important however, because SmackDown ended with the NXT Champion, Adam Cole, standing over Daniel Bryan. So what does Seth Rollins do next? He says he obviously didn’t come here alone but his next move depends on what Seth’s next move is. He says Seth claims he doesn’t have the motivation or energy for what’s next, he doesn’t know what’s next. But he does. He always knows what is best for Seth Rollins, and he’s either with him or against him.

The Undisputed Era – NXT Champion Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish – come through the crowd and stand on the apron. Seth looks at The Undisputed Era, and contemplates the decision, but out comes The O.C. before he can make a choice. The O.C. chase-off The Undisputed Era, but then Dominik Dijakovic and Damian Priest come out and start battering Styles, Gallows, and Anderson. R-Truth, Erick Rowan, Zack Ryder, and Curt Hawkins come running down to make the save. The segment ends with Seth leaving the ring and walking to the back.

*Commercial Break*

We’re back and Triple H is walking backstage on his phone. Seth Rollins walks-up to him and he says if Triple H wanted to light a fire under his ass, he’s done it. But he’s not Daniel Bryan, he’s better, and he won’t be coming to NXT as a former Champion. So how about he faces Adam Cole for the NXT Championship, tonight? Triple H agrees.

Andrade & Zelina Vega Vs. Sin Cara & Catalina

The match begins with Andrade attacking Sin Cara as his back is turned. Andrade runs but Sin Cara flips him over the ropes. Sin Cara thinks about a dive but Vega pulls his leg from under the ropes. The two of them argue with the referee, meanwhile Cataline dives from the apron onto Andrade at ringside with a cannonball.

*Commercial Break*

We’re back live and both Andrade and Sin Cara are down. During the break Zelina dived off the apron onto Sin Cara and hit a tilt-a-whirl DDT on the floor! Andrade prevents Cara from making the tag and chops him. Andrade puts Sin Cara on the top rope and looks for a superplex but they fight until Cara falls to the apron. Sin Cara punches Andrade on the middle rope before hitting a sunset bomb.

Tags are made to Catalina and Zelina Vega, with the former hitting two dropkicks and a sloppy crossbody. Catalina gets Catalina on her back but Zelina fights out and delivers a springboard knee. Catalina counters Vega with a wheelbarrow facebuster. Andrade breaks-up the pin attempt, then Sin Cara knocks him from the ring and hits a tope to the outside. Zelina hits a hurricanrana into the turnbuckles, followed by a basement hurricanrana for the win.

Winners Zelina Vega & Andrade

We see a replay of The King’s Court from last week, featuring Rusev and Lana. Rusev is walking to the ring to issue a challenge to Lashley, next!

*Commercial Break*

Rusev is in the ring when he comes back. He says he is certain everyone will agree with him when he says tonight will be the end of all this dumb drama. He says he isn’t here to talk crap about his soon-to-be ex-wife, even though he could. He wants Bob Lashley. He says Lashley can have Lana if she wants but “your ass is mine!”

Lashley comes out with Lana and he’s on crutches. Lashley says that he is not medically cleared to fight tonight. This past weekend, he suffered a debilitating injury; he tore his groin, but he didn’t do it at Crown Jewel, he did it while performing with Lana. Lana kisses him and says that Rusev doesn’t want to hear about their sex life, he wants to fight. And, while Lashley can’t compete tonight, they know someone who can and will kick Rusev’s ass.

Rusev Vs. Drew McIntyre

The bell rings and Drew headbutts Rusev. The Scotsman puts the Bulgarian in the corner and beats him down with right hands and kicks. Rusev is whipped into the turnbuckles but explodes out with a lariat. Rusev delivers repeated shoulders to Drew in the corner, then stomps a mudhole in him.

McIntyre counters Rusev and delivers a flurry of right hands in the corner, then chokes him with his boot. McIntyre stomps Rusev around until the Bulgarian counters with a fallaway slam and Drew rolls to the outside.

*Commercial Break*

Back live and Drew has Rusev down in a submission. Rusev fights to his feet but Drew hits a spinebuster for a two-count. McIntyre calls Rusev a “bitch” but that just makes the Bulgarian angry and he delivers multiple lariats. Rusev hits a shoulder tackle, followed by a spinning heel kick.

“Rusev Day” chants from the crowd as he looks for the Macha Kick, but Drew dodges it. McIntyre sets Rusev on the top rope but gets punched away. Rusev jumps over McIntyre and they hit stereo crossbody’s. They exchange shots in the middle of the ring until Rusev knocks McIntyre from the ring with a kick.

Rusev chases McIntyre out and drives him into the steel steps repeatedly. Out of nowhere, Bobby Lashley comes running down and cracks Rusev in the back with his crutch!

Winner Via Disqualification: Rusev

Lashley beats Rusev with the crutch while Drew McIntyre literally shakes his head and walks off. Inside the ring, Rusev turns the tables and beats on Lashley. Rusev lifts the crutch when all of a sudden, Randy Orton comes in and hits an RKO to Rusev! The announcers say it’s because they were together on Team Flair. Orton stomps Rusev until out comes Ricochet. He pulls the rope down to sucker Lashley out, then jumps over Randy and hits a big kick. Ricochet hits a baseball slide to Lashley and Lana, knocking them down. Ricochet helps Rusev up and they stand together, staring down the heels.

Later tonight, Seth Rollins faces Adam Cole for the NXT Championship. Also tonight, The O.C. Vs. The Street Profits & Humberto Carrillo. Raw Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, will be out next.

*Commercial Break*

Charly Caruso is sitting down backstage with Becky Lynch. Charly says Becky has been Champion for a long time now but she faces her biggest test of all: a triple threat at Survivor Series with SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley, and NXT Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler. Lynch says she loves Survivor Series because everyone is on edge, looking over their shoulders. Nobody knows better than her that it’s an opportunity to step out and make a name for yourself.

The NXT Women’s Champion comes in and tells Charly to leave. Shayna sits down across from Becky and says she’s waited a long time to meet her face-to-face. She says everyone says Becky is a shining example of the talent that comes from NXT.  She then says she is friends with Ronda Rousey, trains with her, but she is not Ronda Rousey. She won’t take Bayley lightly, but she came here to tell Lynch that she will pin her or tap her out. And all she has to do between now and Survivor Series, is to worry about which limb will belong to her.

Lynch leans forward and smiles. She says that she doesn’t know Shayna Baszler, so she doesn’t know whether to shake her hand or slap her head off. However she’s feeling the same thing Ronda Rousey did. She warns that going to war with her will change her. She promises to beat Shayna and Bayley at Survivor Series, and prove who the baddest woman on the planet really is. Then both women stand and stare each other down.

The O.C. come out and AJ Styles tells the fans he isn’t the mood, so they need to shut-up. He says the fact is, Gallows and Anderson are the best tag team in the world, and their trophy is at ringside to prove it. Another fact is that he is phenomenal and he is the United States Champion. And another fact is that they do not give a damn about NXT, so if any Superstar from NXT steps foot in the ring again they will make sure they don’t leave Orlando.

The Street Profits come out with Humberto Carrillo. Montez Ford says The O.C. is clearly feeling themselves tonight. He mentions that their trophy is at ringside and says “awww”. He calls them the best tag team in the world, but Dawkins asks how that can be the case when they weren’t in the turmoil match. Not to mention, they beat Gallows and Anderson two weeks ago. Ford says he can’t say that, he’s not allowed to. However Humberto Carrillo should, so he does. AJ tells him to shut up, or he’ll do it for him. Ford instructs Carrillo to say it again in Spanish, and Styles responds with “what the hell did he just say?”. Dawkins says that AJ is mad at Humberto because mothers love to swipe right on them dimples. Ford says tonight isn’t about swiping right, it’s about swiping left on The O.C., because they want the smoke. They make their way to the ring.

*Commercial Break*

The O.C. Vs. The Street Profits & Humberto Carrillo

We join this match in progress with Angelo Dawkins and Karl Anderson going to battle. Dawkins hits Anderson with a scoop slam and makes a tag to his partner. Ford connects with a dropkick to Anderson before Dawkins hits a big splash. Ford picks up a two count.

Ford applies an armbar, but Anderson fights up. Ford is knocked out of the ring, and AJ Styles hits a cheap shot before Luke Gallows clotheslines him on the floor.

Ford is sent back into the ring and Anderson grinds him down with a submission. Styles tags in and beats Ford down, then makes the tag to Gallows, who knocks Ford from the ring as we head to the break.

*Commercial Break*

We come back from the break to see Ford throwing hands against Gallows, then hitting a blockbuster. Ford looks for the tag but Gallows prevents it. Ford then drops Gallows with a neckbreaker and tags Humberto, while Gallows tags AJ.

Carrillo hits a clothesline and a dropkick to Styles. Carrillo takes him down and hits a low dropkick followed by a standing moonsault for a two count. Styles counters Humberto for a moment but Carrillo hits a springboard kick to the face. Carrillo goes to the top rope and lands an asai moonsault, but Anderson breaks up the pin attempt.

Dawkins runs in and shoulder tackles Anderson out of the ring. Gallows then superkicks Dawkins, followed by Ford hitting a dropkick to Gallows that knocks him outside. Ford then hits a summersault senton to both Gallows and Anderson at ringside.

Styles is on the apron and he knocks Carrillo back and goes for a Phenomenal Forearm, but Carrillo avoids it. Carrillo looks for a hurricanrana but AJ reverses into a powerbomb and pins him with his feet on the ropes for the win!

Winners: The O.C.

We take a special look at the NXT Champion, Adam Cole, then see him standing backstage with Triple H. Cole faces Seth Rollins, later tonight.

*Commercial Break*

We return to see replays of Brock Lesnar hunting Rey Mysterio at the start of the show, only to be beaten down with a lead pipe.

The Viking Raiders Vs. East hampton polo boys

The East Hampton Polo Boys are dressed like MJF from All Elite Wrestling. Erik attacks one in the corner and pulls the other into the ring. He tosses one out and Ivar slams him into the barricade, hitting a running crossbody.

Erik hits a backbreaker/gutbuster combo to one of the boys. Erik tags Ivar before hitting a gutwrench powerbomb. Ivar hits a splash from the top rope and hooks the leg for the win.

Winners: The Viking Raiders

After the match, Erik says they stand here as men, bold enough to admit they suffered defeat at Crown Jewel. He congratulates The O.C. and says they’ve been crowned the best tag team in the world. Ivar says victory is often just survival. So Gallows and Anderson should thank the gods, because they may have won the battle…but nothing stops the raid.

*Commercial Break*

NXT Championship Match

(C) Adam Cole Vs. Seth Rollins

The match gets underway and they lock-up, with Rollins taking a wrist. Cole rolls out to take a wrist for himself, but then Rollins does the same. Seth forces Cole to the ropes, then slaps his chest in a condescending way. They lock-up again and this time Cole forces Rollins to the corner, then he slaps the chest.

Rollins bursts out of the corner with a clothesline to Cole, then knocks him from the ring and hits a dropkick through the ropes. Seth throws Cole back inside and lifts him up but Cole punches Seth to get down. Rollins kicks Cole and looks for The Stomp but Cole dodges it and rolls from the ring. Seth goes out after him and tosses Cole into the barricade, then again as we head to the break.

*Commercial Break*

We’re back in time to see Adam Cole drop Rollins with a knee for a two-count. Cole and Rollins exchange shots until Seth drops him with a superkick for a near-fall.

Seth delivers a forearm in the corner, but then gets tossed to the apron. Seth looks for the springboard knee but gets hit with a picture-perfect superkick. Cole looks for the Panama Sunrise but Rollins reverses into the Buckle Bomb for another near-fall!

Cole rolls from the ring and Rollins hits a suicide dive, then a second and tosses Adam inside. Seth hits the springboard knee, then looks for the Falcon Arrow but Cole counters with a Ushigoroshi for a near-fall. Adam waits for Rollins to get up, then hits a running knee for another near-fall.

Cole takes his kneepad down, thinking Last Shot, but Rollins avoids it and rolls him up for a two-count. They hit stereo clotheslines and both men are down. Cole takes to the top rope but Rollins jumps up with him and hits a superplex, followed by a Falcon Arrow for a near-fall. Rollins stomps-up the band but then Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Bobby Fish run-in and attack him.

Winner Via Disqualification: Seth Rollins

The Undisputed Era beat on Seth Rollins until The O.C., Ryder & Hawkins, Ricochet, Rowan, and more come running down. Then the likes of Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, Tomasso Ciampa, and more come in and NXT starts getting the better of the huge brawl. The fans chant “NXT”. Ricochet hits a springboard shooting star press onto everyone at ringside. The brawl breaks-out again until Keith Lee hits a dive over the ropes onto everyone. The show comes to a close mid-brawl.

And that’s it for this week’s Raw. Let us know what you thought and be sure to come back tomorrow for more wrestling news. Until then, safe travels!
