Raw Results
*Charlotte Flair to the ring…where are her “thank you” gifts for her last night on Raw?…having to defend her title is part of a conspiracy…Bianca gets 2 title shots in one week, that’s bullcrap…Bianca Belair interrupts, she’s taking that Raw title with her to Crown Jewel…Charlotte throws hands, misses a big boot, narrowly avoids a KOD, & bails.
(1) KotR Rd. 2: Xavier Woods defeats Jinder Mahal…Limit Break (rope walk Savage elbow) for the win (09:58).
*Austin Theory backstage with Sarah…Reggie & the 24/7 crew interrupt…Theory is pissed, gets in R-Truth’s face…Truth says Theory looks so mad, he probably wants to settle it in the ring, if Theory can get permission from his mom to stay up so late…COMMERCIAL…R-Truth informs Theory he didn’t accept the match for himself, he did so on behalf of his friend, Jeff Hardy.
(2) Austin Theory defeats Jeff Hardy…TKO onto his knee for the win (07:05)…AFTER…Theory snaps another selfie with the fallen Hardy but Hardy recovers, hits a Twist of Fate, & returns the favor by snapping a selfie of his own next to Theory who is now laid out.
(3) Big E. & Drew McIntyre defeat Dirty Dawgs…Big Ending on Roode for the win (12:53)…AFTER…tense moment between Big E. & Drew, then a respectful handshake, then more harsh words…but no fisticuffs.
*Street Profits backstage…they’re breaking down the Raw tag title match…AJ & Omos interrupt, tell them to play their cards right & they might get a shot at the new champs after Crown Jewel…Profits laugh them off…they want the smoke.
(4) Mansoor defeats Cedric Alexander…Mansoor hits a slingshot neckbreaker from the apron into the ring for the win (03:44)…AFTER…Mustafa Ali out in front of the ‘tron…says Mansoor is still smiling like a fan boy & he’s going to wipe that smile off his face…Mansoor gets pissed, gets real, tells him that he will prove Ali is nothing more than a sorry excuse for a man…then chews him out in Arabic, too.
*Bobby Lashley & Goldberg split screen interview with Graves…more death threats from Bill…more career-ending threats from Bobby.
(5) RK-Bro defeat Street Profits by DQ…NON-TITLE…as Randy sets up for the RKO on Ford, AJ & Omos’ music gets his attention…but it’s only Omos coming out because AJ is setting up for a Phenomenal Forearm behind him, which he hits as soon as Randy turns around causing the DQ (10:23)…AFTER…Omos chokeslams Riddle on the apron, Gorilla presses Ford, & hits Randy with a roundhouse kick.
(6) QC Rd. 2: Doudrop defeats Shayna Baszler…Zelina Vega makes her way out just before the bell, puts on the crown & cape and sits on the throne to scout her opponents…Shayna locks in the seated Kirifuda Clutch but Doudrop rocks back for the pin & the win (02:47).
(7) Finn Balor defeats MACE…Xavier Woods is out to watch Balor from the King’s Throne…Coup de Grace for the win (02:45)…AFTER…Balor meets Woods near the throne, rips the scepter from Woods’ hands…they exchange words but no one throws a punch.
*Viking Raiders backstage, ask John Morrison what he’s doing…he’s still meditating to find his chi, in order to share his inner-most thoughts with the world…God help us.
(8) Bianca Belair defeats Charlotte Flair by DQ…but does not win the Raw Women’s Championship…Charlotte rolls out…Bianca grabs her by the hair but Charlotte hits her with a chair to get free, causing the DQ (21:44)…AFTER…Charlotte rolls in with the chair but Bianca dropkicks it into her face…Bianca picks up the chair & lays one shot into Charlotte’s back before she can escape…Bianca ends the show holding the chair above her head victoriously.
