With a Non-Title Steel Cage Match as the opening match this week, this week’s RAW was all tease and no please.
Matches:
Non-Title Steel Cage Match: WWE Champion Big E. vs. Kevin Owens: E won by escaping the ring, but Bobby Lashley got involved and destroyed everyone, including Seth Rollins.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Zelina Vega w/Carmella vs. Nikki ASH w/Rhea Ripley: Vega won with Code Red, leaving ASH broken and Ripley disappointed.
RKBronament: The Street Profits: Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford vs. AJ Styles and Omos: Omos got counted out in spite doing most of the heavy lifting. By the time it was all over, Omos appeared to walk out on Styles.
United States Champion Damian Priest vs. Robert Roode w/Dolph Ziggler: Roode was impressive throughout, but Priest won with Reckoning before Ziggler took out Priest with a Super Kickafter the pin fall.
Bianca Belair vs. DouDrop: Match of the night at that point, before DouDrop watched out of the match and got counted out.
RKBronament: The Alpha Academy: Chad Gable and Otis vs. Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio: Dominik stole the match with a Rollup following a missed Moonsault from Gable.
Finn Balor vs. T-Bar: Balor won the hard-fought match with the Coup De Grace before Austin Theory nailed him with the ATL.
WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan: Lynch made Morgan look better than she ever deserved. Far from crisp, it’s obvious she’s still a mid-carder. She hung in there though and Lynch needed to grab the ropes to hold on to her Title.
