WWE Monday Night Raw Full Results:
– Tonight’s WWE Raw opened with The Miz making his way to the ring for the another must see edition of Miz TV. Fans boo but Miz begins his grand introduction. He says tonight’s guest is an extraordinary Superstar, who has been the talk of the whole world since making his WWE return. Miz says this person beat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, but can he beat The Miz tonight? Miz goes on and introduces his guest The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes enters the ring and poses in the corner. Miz is looking at his watch, wondering how long this entrance is going to go on for. They finally take their seats and Miz jokes that they broke the pyro budget. He asks if Rhodes is trying to show him up on his own show. He asks if Rhodes is just an ego-maniac now.
Rhodes says don’t begrudge him, don’t get hot, because it’s been a while since he faced a crowd this hot. Rhodes stands back up and plays to the crowd for more cheers. Miz brings up Cody’s emotional explanation on last week’s Raw, about why he came back to WWE. Miz says that was admirable.
Fans chant “Dusty!” now. Miz says the reality is, if it weren’t for Cody’s family name, he wouldn’t just be the grandson of a plumber, he’d be just a plumber. Cody says being a plumber would be a good thing right now because Miz is full of… Cody stops himself but says everyone knows what he meant. Cody says Miz hasn’t changed… he’s still arrogant, obnoxious, a full-blown carny, and the fact that Miz embraces it so greatly… that makes him reliable. Good ‘ol Reliable Mike.
Cody asks Miz if he looks the same, and asks what he’s been doing for the past six years. Cody goes on about wanting to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Title belt. Miz says it’s a title, a belt holds up your pants. Miz says anyone who can beat Rollins at WrestleMania definitely deserves to be in title contention.
Miz further says that might take a while because a little bird told him Rollins wants a rematch, and this time he will have time to plan. Miz doesn’t like Cody’s chances in the rematch, or in tonight’s match. Miz goes on but fans interrupt with chants for Cody. Miz brags about destroying The Mysterios and Logan Paul at WrestleMania 38 but everyone still wanted to talk about Cody after WrestleMania.
Miz further says we all know where Cody has been, but this is Miz’s show and Miz won’t be disrespected on his show. They stand up and face off now as Cody tells him to simmer down. Cody respects Miz and all of his accomplishments and continues that he senses this hostility is because Miz feels threatened by Cody. Cody says he has no issue with Rollins, Rollins gave him a great match, and he’s got the rematch if he wants it.
Cody goes on about knowing there would be doubt and resentment when he returned to WWE, but he’s ready to face the best wrestlers… Miz corrects him, it’s Superstars. Cody goes on and says he’s looking forward to his first Raw match back tonight. Cody says may the best man win in their match tonight.

– Cody Rhodes defeated The Miz via pinfall. After the match, Rhodes poses in the corners and doesn’t see Rollins waiting behind him. Cody comes off the corner now and there is Rollins. Rollins says he heard all the kind things Cody had to say, even the word rematch, but he wants Cody to remember Cody was the surprise opponent at WrestleMania 38, and had all the advantages.

– Kevin Patrick at backstage and introduces the newest member of Monday Night Raw – Tommaso Ciampa. Before they can speak, Ezekiel walks up and introduces himself, welcoming Ciampa to Raw. Ciampa thanks him but Kevin Owens interrupts. Owens goes on about how this is really Elias, asking him what he’s trying to pull.
Ezekiel says Owens is mistaken, then Ezekiel walks off. Ciampa also believes that this really is Ezekiel. Owens tells Ciampa not to listen to Elias, he’s known him for years. Owens asks if he’s the only sane person around here. Owens seethes at the whole Ezekiel situation and storms off.
– The AllMighty Bobby Lashley makes his way to the ring. Saxton says this was supposed to be The VIP Lounge, but Lashley is crashing the party. Lashley says he wasn’t invited to The VIP Lounge over what happened last week, so he invited himself. Lashley goes on about about the win at WrestleMania 38, but gives Omos some raise.
He further says he was stabbed in the back by the one man he felt he could trust. Lashley goes on and calls MVP to come to the ring and explain his actions to everyone. MVP isn’t coming out. Lashley says maybe he should start re-arranging The VIP Lounge to how he likes it. He threatens to destroy some stuff but the music interrupts and here comes MVP and Omos now.
MVP tells Lashley to stop embarrassing himself, and if he damages anything, MVP’s lawyers will be in contact. Lashley tells him to shove those lawyers up his ass. Lashley wants a fight. MVP says he’d love for Omos to teach a lesson to Lashley, but Omos is learning to be a businessman and will wait until the money and time is right.
Lashley says MVP and everyone should be thanking him. MVP asks if Lashley and everyone wants an explanation? He can do that. MVP goes on about how Lashley was floundering when he came back to WWE, until MVP took Lashley to new heights. MVP declares he made Lashley, he made Lashley into All Mighty.
Then, Lashley says MVP came back for his farewell tour but then he did what he does best – latch onto his next meal ticket. The back & forth continues until MVP goes on about Omos being bigger and smarter than Lashley. He says Omos will take MVP’s spot at the top because Omos realizes he needs MVP. He continued that Lashley barely survived his first match with Omos, and he promises he won’t survive the next.
Lashley says he’s going to chop Omos down like he did at WrestleMania, then he’s coming to get MVP and startz destroying VIP Lounge set.
– We see Akira Tozawa, Reggie, R-Truth and some of their friends leaving Tozawa’s bachelor party, what apparently was the best bachelor party of all-time. Truth asks Reggie about the WWE 24/7 Title and Reggie mentions it’s with Dana at the double bachelorette party she’s having with Tamina. Truth is shocked and worried. He goes on ranting about how you can’t trust the title with Tamina and a bunch of conniving others. Truth tells the guys to follow him because they have a party to crash.

Deville says she found a new challenger for Belair but it was no easy task because of the stacked women’s division. She names several Superstars and says the options are endless for Belair. Belair says she’d be happy to get in the ring with any of those names she said, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who her opponent is because she will leave with the title, because she is the strongest, toughest, bravest, and so on.
Belair is ready to find out who her opponent is. Deville has an open contract for the Raw Women’s Title and says if Belair is serious about getting in the ring with anyone, then sign now and prove why you are The EST. Belair sees what Deville is trying to do, but says let’s do it. She signs the contract. Deville gives a grand introduction for this mystery opponent, then calls for a drum roll.
Belair turns to face the big screen for the opponent but Deville attacks her from behind, takes her knee out with a chop block. Deville destroys Belair and drops her. Then Deville announces herself as Belair’s next opponent. Adam Pearce rushes down to check on a furious Belair as Deville makes her exit.
– We go to the double bachelorette party for Tamina Snuka and WWE 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke. They are on the same page now but Tamina says it will be open season on the title once the honeymoon is over. Los Lotharios interrupt and put the Kiss Cam over Tamina and Dana. Nikki A.S.H. interrupts next and she’s brought some male entertainment.
Nikki uses this to distract Brooke, and roll her up for a pin but Tamina makes the save and beats up on Nikki. R-Truth, Akira Tozawa and Reggie show up with their friends. Truth yells at everyone and says they should all be ashamed. Truth says it’s not the 24/7 Title that keeps them together, it’s the love. Truth has a certificate that shows he’s an ordained minister, and he calls for all attempts on the title to be paused until next week when there will be a double wedding.
– Adam Pearce stops Sonya Deville at backstage and says she abused her power. He asks who the hell she thinks she is. Deville thinks she is the first official to answer an open challenge, and she thinks she will shock the world when she wins the title. Pearce can’t believe she’s doing this. Deville says she’s a WWE official and Pearce can’t stop her from making history as she’s already make it official.
– RK-Bro defeated The Alpha Academy via pinfall. After the match, RK-Bro stood tall with the titles. A black SUV arrives in the back and out comes SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso go walking through the backstage area looking for Randy Orton and Riddle.
The SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos comes out. Orton says he wasn’t sure if The Usos were coming to Raw, but it looks like Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, The Big Dog, let his bitches off their leashes. The Usos hype themselves up and challenge RK-Bro to a title unification bout for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles.
Orton trys to give response but the music interrupts and here comes The Street Profits. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins make the case for why they should be next in line for a title shot. The Profits say they would be happy to face The Usos after they win the titles from RK-Bro, then they and The Usos can unify the titles, because they are up and they want the smoke. Orton tells them both to shut the hell up because people want to see a fight, not hear them talk.
– The Usos defeated The Street Profits via pinfall. After the match, The Usos stood tall but RK-Bro enters the ring. Two teams stares at each other down now.
