Below are the complete results from tonight’s RAW, where Becky Lynch became the new Women’s World Champion.
– World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and Jey Uso had a face off ahead of their match at Backlash France. Priest said that Jey will be the first in a long line to fall to him. Jey said the only reason why Priest is the leader of The Judgment Day is because Rhea Ripley got hurt, and claimed that he will become the next World Heavyweight Champion.
JD McDonagh tried to attack Jey from behind, but Jey moved out of the way. Jey went for a Superkick on JD, but JD moved out of the way and Priest got hit with the superkick.
– Awesome Truth (The Miz & R-Truth) (c) def. #DIY (Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) to retain the World Tag Team Championship
Gargano shook Miz & Truth’s hand after the match, but Ciampa didn’t.
– Dominik Mysterio is banged up, so he brought in Santos Escobar to team up with JD McDonagh.
– Gunther made his first appearance on RAW since his WrestleMania 40 loss and said he elevated the Intercontinental Championship to heights it had never seen before. Gunther said a big weight has been lifted off his shoulders, because there’s no target on him anymore. He’s back to being a hunter instead of the hunted, and thanked Sami Zayn for that. Gunther officially announced his participation in the King of the Ring tournament, which will take place in Saudi Arabia next month. After winning King of the Ring, Gunther said he’ll decide which title he wants next.
The New Day interrupted Gunther. Xavier Woods said he plans to become a 2-time King of the Ring. Gunther said Xavier winning the tournament in 2021 was a fluke, and that The Ring General will set a new standard after winning the tournament. Kofi Kingston mocked Gunther and asked him where his title is. New Day then challenged Imperium to a tag team match.
– The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) def. Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci)
Gunther threw his chair in frustration and gave Ludwig an angry look after the match. Kaiser then brutally assaulted Vinci. It looks like Vinci is out of Imperium. Ludwig went backstage and told Gunther “I told you I could get it done”. Gunther looked impressed.
– Drew McIntyre conveyed to the audience that CM Punk harbors disdain for them, suggesting that Punk’s self-loathing surpasses his animosity towards the fans. McIntyre recounted his recent encounters with Punk, highlighting Punk’s underhanded tactics at WrestleMania 40 where he was blindsided, and the subsequent interference during the #1 contender match on RAW. Expressing his determination to refocus on his goals, McIntyre revealed he’s entering the King of the Ring tournament. Sheamus intervened, admonishing McIntyre for squandering his WrestleMania opportunity due to a trivial social media feud. McIntyre took a shot at Sheamus’ weight and said the following:
“Before you were injured, it was Banger after Banger after Banger. But since you’ve returned, it’s been Burger after Burger after Burger.”
– Sheamus def. Shinsuke Nakamura
– Bronson Reed attacked Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn backstage. Reed told Sami he’s looking at the next Intercontinental Champion.
– Chad Gable, Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri entered the ring, where Gable justified his actions against Sami Zayn. Gable recounted how Zayn flaunted his victory in Montreal, even after he showed sportsmanship by raising Zayn’s hand in the ring. Gable expressed his frustration at being overlooked, stating that his efforts were wasted on Zayn and other underperformers (referring to other Alpha Academy members in the ring), and said it should’ve been him at WrestleMania 40. Addressing each member individually, Gable criticized Tozawa’s repeated losses, Maxxine’s perceived lack of intelligence, and Otis’s failure to meet expectations. Gable emphasized the need for unity and declared his intention to win the Intercontinental Championship, expecting unwavering support from his colleagues. Gable demanded that every member of Alpha Academy must help him win the Intercontinental Title no matter what it takes, and made Otis say it out loud.
– Dominik Mysterio had a face off with Liv Morgan backstage.
– Ricochet & Andrade def. Santos Escobar & JD McDonagh
After the match, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest attacked Ricochet & Andrade. Priest told Dirty Dom & JD that he doesn’t need them, they need him.
– Becky Lynch won a Battle Royal to win the vacant Women’s World Championship
