Here are the complete results from tonight’s WWE RAW and match-card for next week’s show.
– Jey Uso kicked off RAW and is excited about being able to use Yeet again and CM Punk being here tonight. Drew McIntyre confronted him and said Jey’s apology to him was fake.
– Drew McIntyre def. Jey Uso
– Shinsuke Nakamura said he’ll bring Cody Rhodes’ story to an end.
– In a backstage segment, Judgment Day discussed Dominik Mysterio losing the NXT North American Championship. Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest had a heated exchange about who’s the leader of the group.
– Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley def. Maxxine Dupri
– CM Punk came out on tonight’s RAW and said he debuted in this building and it is also the building where he walked out of WWE. He said if fans were let down that night, he apologizes.
Punk said RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has offered him a deal that is much better than what SmackDown and NXT offered him.
He said he is here to right a wrong and his future starts now. Punk said this is 10 years in the making and congratulated Pearce because Punk is home and is the newest RAW Superstar.
Punk shook Pearce’s hand and signed the RAW contract. As Punk was celebrating, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins came out.
They had a face off for almost a minute. Rollins then grabbed a mic and welcomed Punk to “Monday Night Rollins”. Rollins then said:
“Don’t you dare call this place your home.”
Rollins said Punk abandoned this place and actively tried to tear this place down, and that it’s his home, not Punk’s. Rollins said he will do everything in his power to protect his home from people like Punk.
Seth then said he hates Punk with every fibre in his being. Seth said he actually wants Punk on RAW if Punk is going to be in WWE, because the truth always comes out and this is Punk’s last chance. Seth says Punk is going to self destruct again and he’s going to be the one to shut the door on Punk’s legacy.
Rollins said if Punk still has what it takes and earns the opportunity to face him for the World Title, then he will tell Punk who the Best in the World actually is because he will wrestle circles around him.
Punk said this was Seth’s one pass to disrespect him. Punk then made another thing official – he is entering the Royal Rumble. Punk then teased coming after Rollins when he wins the Rumble.
– Bronson Reed def. Ivar
– CM Punk met The Judgment Day backstage and asked where Rhea Ripley is. Damian Priest said he hopes Punk is the one around here to ‘finish the story’, because if he does, then Priest will be waiting to cash-in the Money In The Bank contract.
– During an in-ring segment, R-Truth told The Judgment Day that they should kick out JD McDonagh and Damian Priest shouldn’t be the leader of the group. Priest then took out R-Truth. All members attacked R-Truth, which led to The Creed Brothers making the save.
– Drew McIntyre met CM Punk backstage and said he doesn’t care about Punk’s story or Cody Rhodes’ story, he only cares about his own story. Punk then reunited with his former tag team partner Kofi Kingston (they held the World Tag Team Championship together) and also met Chad Gable & Ricochet. Punk said he’s heard Ricochet is awful at playing video games.
Also during this segment, Adam Pearce revealed that McIntyre will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Title on the January 1st RAW, which is being called the “Day 1” edition of RAW.
– Kayden Carter & Katana Chance def. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Chelsea Green & Piper Niven were on commentary for this match.
– Becky Lynch told Nia Jax that she needs to end the lie that Nia made her a main event star by breaking her face 5 years ago with a punch. Nia said she’ll always be the person who made “The Man”. Becky challenged her to a fight, but Nia walked out of the ring as she doesn’t need this.
– Cody Rhodes said he’s happy to hear CM Punk will be in the Royal Rumble match and he knows two stories can’t finish at once.
– The Miz & DIY def. Imperium (Intercontinental Champion Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci)
– In a backstage segment, Miz challenged Gunther to an Intercontinental Championship rematch. Gunther agreed but said if Miz loses, he can never challenge for the IC Title again as long as The Ring General is the champion.
– Cody Rhodes def. Shinsuke Nakamura via DQ after Nakamura spit the mist in Cody’s face right in front of the referee
Nakamura continued assaulting Cody after the match and hit him in the back of the head with a Kinshasa. Nakamura was about to hit Rhodes with a Steel Chair, but The Creed Brothers made the save. As Cody was being helped to the back, Nakamura ran back and hit Cody with another Kinshasa to end the show.
