Here The WWE Monday Night Raw Full Results:
– Tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw opened with WrestleMania 39 host The Miz for a special edition of MizTV. The announcers hype tonight’s show, and reveal that WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER will be in action. Mike Rome introduces The Miz, and he takes it over.
Miz hypes up the final WWE Raw on the Road to WrestleMania, and himself. He says we will get to the bottom of one of the most heated rivalries in all of WWE tonight. He then introduces his guests. The music hits and here comes WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and WWE Hall of Famer Lita comes next. They all pose together and head to the ring.
They hit the ring and pose at the WrestleMania 39 sign, then take a seat. Miz reveals Becky vs. IYO SKY for tonight. Miz says Damage CTRL has given Lynch so much hell, and given how she’s The Man that fights alone, so why did she need to call in back-up. Becky goes right for the “tiny balls!” joke and a chant breaks out. Miz says his wife verified they are huge, not tiny. Lynch says that just means Maryse didn’t get around a lot before marriage.
Becky Lynch then goes on about her history with Damage CTRL. She doesn’t get along with too many, but in this ring are two many she highly respects, not named The Miz, so when people fight for her, she fights for them. Miz asks Trish and Lita why play back-up to Becky. Lita doesn’t feel like that, she feels like one-half of the tag team champions, and she’s feeling like the best… the music hits and here comes Damage CTRL – Bayley, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. Fans boo heavily but Bayley hushes them. She’s tired of this group acing like the WrestleMania match is just another match to them, when this is Damage CTRL’s life.
Bayley goes on about Trish and Lita being relevant 20 yeas ago. She says one time this match would’ve meant something important… fans interrupt with “What!?” chants. Bayley goes on but Lynch lashes out about how Bayley has ruined Kai and IYO, Damage CTRL isn’t doing anything and hasn’t done nothing. Lynch thought this would end at different times but it hasn’t, so the only place it can end is WrestleMania. Two teams arguing in the middle of the ring.
– Becky Lynch defeated IYO SKY via pinfall. After the match, Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus and Lita stand tall as Damage CTRL looks on.
– We see what happened with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes on last week’s WWE Monday Night Raw, then we see what happened with Solo, Cody and Paul Heyman on Friday Night SmackDown. We now see Sikoa, Heyman, and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos walking backstage.
– We get a video package on Asuka to hype her WrestleMania match with RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. The video features comments from Corey Graves, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, Kevin Owens, WWE Hall of Famer & Women’s Tag Team Champion Lita, WWE Hall of Famer & Produce Molly Holly, MVP.
– We see last week’s brawl between Seth Rollins and Logan Paul, and his post-show warning to Rollins while speaking with Cathy Kelley. Kelley at backstage for a word with Rollins now but Mustafa Ali interrupts. Ali says Rollins has nothing nice to say so he’s not going to say anything. Rollins is annoyed. Ali just wants to help Rollins see the more positive side to Paul knocking him out, twice. He says Paul and his crew had no idea who Rollins was before Royal Rumble, but now Logan and his millions of fans can’t wait to see if he will land another lucky punch at WrestleMania.
Mustafa Ali says Seth Rollins should be more grateful and start thinking more positive-Ali. Rollins mocks the new gimmick but Ali thinks he’s enjoying it. Seth Rollins recalls when Mustafa Ali was in the ring begging him for a WWE United States Title shot. Mustafa Ali says that was a long time. Seth Rollins says good things come to those who wait, so tonight is Ali’s night, and it’s going to be beautiful. Ali isn’t interested. Seth Rollins walks off.
– Seth Rollins defeated Mustafa Ali via pinfall After the match, Rollins stands tall in the ring. Rollins takes the mic and brings up Logan Paul. Rollins says Paul has a habit of making a joke of himself, but if he can’t beat Logan on Saturday, Paul isn’t the joke, Rollins is. Rollins brings up their history and says it all ends this weekend. He knows it will be Paul’s birthday and the WWE Universe will be serenading him all night long, but not with the birthday song, with this… Rollins tells the fans to sing his song again, and they do. Rollins says he will see Paul at WrestleMania.
– We see footage from earlier today with Baron Corbin backstage begging Adam Pearce for a break. Pearce says Corbin can fight it out in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on Friday. Chelsea Green is complaining about not being in the Showcase match. Pearce says she doesn’t even have a partner, Piper Niven wanted nothing to do with her. Sonya Deville comes in and also takes shots at Pearce. He says his plan was to put them together in tonight’s qualifier against Candice LeRae and Mia Yim. Corbin comes back in and asks, seriously? Pearce looks a him and walks out.
– Corey Graves is in the ring for the WrestleMania 39 Weigh-In. He introduces Omos with MVP first. We see recent happenings in this feud. Omos now yells out. MVP interrupts Graves’ introduction for Brock Lesnar and takes over. MVP goes on about some of the people Lesnar has dominated at WrestleMania and says Lesnar won’t be able to do Omos like that.
Omos steps up and weighs in at 410 pounds. MVP says Lesnar is bad but not badder than this. The music interrupts and here comes Brock Lesnar to a big pop and pyro. Lesnar enters the ring but attacks Omos. Lesnar with two big forearms to stun Omos. Omos charges but Lesnar knocks him into the corner. Lesnar grabs the scale to hit Omos with it but Omos nails a big boot. Omos picks up the scale but Lesnar retreats to the floor to regroup. Omos yells about this being his house. Omos is losing his mind while Lesnar recovers and smiles at ringside. Fans chant “Suplex City!” now. Lesnar paces around ringside and looks at Omos in the ring.
– We get a video package on Rhea Ripley vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania now. Byron Saxton at backstage with Ripley, asking for her response to Flair saying she will continue her storied legacy by beating Ripley. Ripley says there’s no denying how great Flair’s legacy is, it’s un-matched, but we don’t need to be reminded every week. She says Flair’s legacy will not define her destiny, and she must beat Flair, must prove she is the best, must become the biggest in the industry, and she needs Flair’s title to do so. She says it comes down to her destiny vs. Flair’s legacy. Flair cannot stop her from becoming the new champion at WrestleMania.
– Braun Strowman, Ricochet and The Street Profits defeated The Viking Raiders and Alpha Academy via pinfall. After the mach, The Profits celebrate with Braun and Ricochet. Maxxine is watching from backstage as Alpha Academy regroups with The Vikings.
– Cathy Kelly at backstage with Cody Rhodes. She asks if facing Solo Sikoa tonight makes him vulnerable against Roman Reigns. Cody loves this position, he lives for it. He and Solo are both undefeated, and he knows Reigns and Paul Heyman would ask him right now if he has a chance against Solo, and on Sunday. Cody mentions how they have a Samoan – Goodfellas aesthetic. He goes on and says he’d ask Heyman why it’s so important he faces the enforcer of The Bloodline? Cody assures Heyman he’s earned this, and he’s lived this. He goes on and says tonight, Solo will find out he’s not ready and at WrestleMania, Cody will defeat Reigns to become the new champion.
– We get a video package on RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair to hype her title defense against Asuka. The video includes comments from WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix, Liv Morgan, Corey Graves, Montez Ford, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, WWE Hall of Famer & Producer Molly Holly.
– We go to WWE United States Champion Austin Theory, who is in the empty arena earlier today. He says this Saturday he loses everything, according to John Cena, but Cena is wrong. He says Cena seems to think he exposed Theory on the mic, but he just exposed himself. Theory says being in the middle of this ring in the empty arena is no different than being in the ring in a sold out So-Fi Stadium because he doesn’t do this for the fans or some kid growing up to be the next Austin Theory, and certainly not to become the next Cena.
Austin Theory does this for himself. He goes on and says I do this because I had a purpose way before anyone had an opinion of me. He says it’s sad he would’ve let Cena go down the hero in this, but he made it personal. Theory says it will be so fitting that so many look up to Cena because Cena will look up at him on Saturday, Cena will believe in Austin Theory. He goes on and says the WWE Universe Cena loves so much will stop believing in him on The Grandest Stage of Them All, and it will happen this Saturday at WrestleMania. Theory looks up at the WrestleMania sign to end the segment.
– Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville defeated Candice LeRae and Mia Yim via pinfall and qualified for the WrestleMania showcase match. After the match, Green and Deville celebrate. They will now join Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Natalya and Shotzi, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, at WrestleMania in the Showcase Fatal 4 Way.
– Cathy Kelley is with Paul Heyman for a response to Cody Rhodes. Heyman says Cody does not fear Roman Reigns because he’s not ready, and he proved that just now by asking why it’s important to face Solo Sikoa… it’s not important, it’s relevant because Solo is ready to weaken Cody for the match with Reigns. Heyman says Solo did not come to compete tonight but to beat on Cody so he’s not 100% on Sunday. Some will say that might not be very dignified of Reigns as champion, but he’s ready to stoop down and rise to the occasion and get as many advantages as he can, that is the difference between Cody and Roman.
Heyman goes on and says Cody has never been ready, was never ready to fill the shoes of his father, never ready to be the man of this generation, not ready to defeat The Tribal Chief on Sunday. Cody needs to be ready to take the beating inflicted upon him by Solo tonight, then take the emotional baggage Reigns dumps on him at SmackDown, so when he steps in the ring on Sunday nigh, the only thing he’s ready for is to lose, then Cody will be ready for the greatest moment of his existence… in the glory of his own defeat, when he’s disappointed the WWE Universe, he will be ready to acknowledge Roman in the main event of WrestleMania.
– The Judgment Day music hits as Damian Priest makes his way out to the ring with Dominik Mysterio. Dominik with the mic and says he really thinks his father is a dead-beat after hitting him on Friday. Dominik goes on ragging his dad then shows us footage of what happened on SmackDown.
Dominik rants in Spanish to loud boos now. Dominik insults his mother and father some more. Fans chant “you suck!” now. Dominik says he’s never said this out loud… but he wishes WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero was his father and Rey never existed because he is a disgrace to the Mysterio name, and that name will be his when he wins at WrestleMania. The music hits and here comes 2023 WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio to a pop.
– Rey Mysterio defeated Damian Priest via disqualification after Dominik’s interference. After the bell, fans boo as Dominik pounds on his dad. Priest holds Rey now as Dominik works him over to “you suck!” chants. The music interrupts and here comes Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro of Legado del Fantasma. They rush the ring as Priest and Dominik retreat to more “you suck!” chants.
– The announcers send us to a video for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown. Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Johnny Gargano are backstage confirming their Battle Royal spots on a list hanging up. They head off and Elias and Rick Boogs do the same, with Elias saying he’s a lock to win. Elias turns around and didn’t see Dexter Lumis standing there. He also didn’t see Bronson Reed standing there when he said he’s a lock. Bobby Lashley is also there. He asks Elias if he’s really a lock. Elias says that’s what he said. Lashley says he will see Elias on Friday. Boogs says this will be fun as he aggressively slaps Elias on the shoulder, crippling him.
– We see what happened on SmackDown with The Usos, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Owens and Zayn are at backstage now. Sami says it’s been a pretty emotional year. He goes on about how everyone knows they both started out in Montreal, but most people do not know how Los Angeles is where they got their first big break, where they truly made a name, and now it’s all coming full-circle. Sami gets hyped up and says they are walking back into Los Angeles as a team.
Kevin Owens says every fight they’ve had, whether it was together or against each other, it’s always been about taking their careers to the next level, and it doesn’t get any bigger than this, the biggest tag team match, against the best tag team in WWE… at least they were until last week. Kevin Owens goes on and says now they get to show everyone what they can do, what they can accomplish together when they win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania.
– GUNTHER defeated Dolph Ziggler via pinfall. After the match, GUNTHER stands tall in the ring. GUNTHER takes the mic and yells to Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. He says it’s a disgrace, to be forced to defend his title against both of them… but have a look at Ziggler, this is the fate that awaits you at WrestleMania. We see a referee checking on Ziggler, who is laid out, as Vinci and Kaiser stand by. GUNTHER looks on.
– Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa via pinfall. At the closing moments of the match, The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos came out. They taunt Cody, who turns around to a big superkick by Solo. Solo then hits the Spinning Solo but Cody kicks out. Heyman and The Usos are shocked. Sami Zayn’s music starts up now. He came out with Kevin Owens but The Usos meet them on the stage for a big brawl. They send the Usos into the LED boards, then fight them backstage.
Cody goes for a Disaster Kick but Solo catches him. Cody fights free and nails a Cross Rhodes in the middle of the ring for the pin to win. After the mach, Cody Rhodes stands tall and poses in the corner. Paul Heyman looks on. Heyman is on the ramp now, possibly talking to Roman Reigns on the phone. Cody is fired up, yelling out at Heyman, as the WrestleMania 39 go-home edition of Monday Night Raw goes off the air.
