5). WWE RAW results: Angel Garza
Before the match, Garza and Ivar fought for the affection of Bachelor in Paradise star Demi Burnett. Burnett was shown watching the match backstage but was called away by the charms of The Street Profits’ Angelo Dawkins. Ivar was running away with the match when some distraction by Zelina Vega allowed Garza to catch Ivar as he was entering the ring, setting up a dropkick to the head for the victory. After the match, Dawkins came on the video board with Burnett and threatened to cut to a video, sending Garza running from the ring. Samoa Joe laughed on commentary, claiming to be aware of security footage catching something embarrassing. As Joe explained this to Vega, she also looked worried and ran backstage. After a commercial break, Ford had WWE air the video, which showed Vega poisoning Montez Ford’s drink two weeks ago. Dawkins and Ford then brawled with Andrade and Graza. Burnett is dragging these segments down with her horrible — even by WWE standards — acting and it would be nice to see a tag team title program on Raw that didn’t involve all the extracurricular nonsense with sporting contests, poisonings and secret video footage.
4). WWE RAW results: Peyton Royce
Earlier in the night, Riott and Liv Morgan were taunted backstage by the IIconics. The quick match saw Riott largely in control before Billie Kay caused a distraction, allowing Royce to shove Riott into Morgan. Taking the action right back to the ring, Royce immediately hit Deja Vu for the victory. A real nothing match without any time to develop anything but a brief bit of tension between Morgan and Riott in the end as well as some more IIconic trickery to pick up another win.
3). WWE RAW results: Montez Ford
A fired up Ford was absolutely on fire in this match. Hitting huge dives, standing moonsaults, jumping from the apron to the catch Andrade with a top-rope hurricanrana and more. Zelina Vega tried to dive from the ring apron onto Bianca Belair at ringside, but Belair caught her and hit a slam. That distracted Andrade and allowed Ford to score a roll-up for the victory. There just wasn’t enough time left in the show for this match to get what it deserved, but Ford is an absolute force of nature in the ring and in a pure sprint he looked incredible once again.
2). WWE RAW results: Cedric Alexander
Crews eliminated MVP with the powerbomb but was immediately attacked by Lashley. Crews made a comeback but Lashley eventually took over, failing to lock in a Full Lashley before hitting a spear for the win. After the match, Crews was attacked by Lashley, MVP and Benjamin. There was odd booking throughout. Ali and Ricochet didn’t factor in at all, Alexander’s run-in to steal the 24/7 title and then Crews getting a clean pin on MVP before the SummerSlam match. But it did serve as a good showcase for the fighting spirit of Crews. However, after sometime Shelton Benjamin again won this title coming from nowhere.
1). WWE RAW results: RAW Underground- Arturo Raus and Riddick Moss
Ruas and Moss battled briefly before a Ruas heel hook attempt saw Moss roll out of the ring in defense. Ruas and Moss then hit a few of the ringside observers before Shane McMahon yelled about how “sick” the match was and it was over. The constant camera cuts with every single blow were a major issue in this “match,” as they’ve been in the past. Not much to grade here, but it’s very clear that these segments have about a two minute maximum life.
