WWE Raw Results returned to find Jinder Mahal in the ring to celebrate his birthday and it gets better since Drew McIntyre isn’t Mr. Money in the Bank.
He then gave a run down his feud with McIntyre and asked everyone to join along as Shanky sang happy birthday to him in what was a horrible rendition.
McIntyre stopped it with a chair to Mahal’s back, and took out Shanky and Veer with chair shots, with most of the shots to Shanky until the chair broke. Mankind and the Rock would be proud.

He then grabbed another chair and went back to work on Shanky for an even 20.
Karrion Kross came out with the NXT Championship around his waist.

Kross caught Jeff with an elbow off the ropes and stomped him before hitting a belly to belly suplex, and then another.
Jeff sidestepped a charge and Kross hit the ringpost and Jeff hit a Twist of Fate but missed a senton.
Jeff rolled Kross up in the corner and used the ropes for leverage to win.
Wow. From dominate to zero in three minutes. Welcome to the main brand, Kross.
Alexa’s Playground
Safe to say @natalieevamarie and @DoudropWWE won't be visiting @AlexaBliss_WWE's Playground again anytime soon… #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/yci3XWMDwx

Alexa Bliss welcomed Lily back from time out, and she said Lily promises to be on her best behavior.
Eva Marie and Doudrop interrupted her and gave Alexa grief for ignoring her again.
Alexa warned Eva it’s mean to say something about Lily, so Eva said she’ll have Doudrop to toss her in the trash they’d be in trouble.
Alexa said she shouldn’t and offered to put Doudrop in time out to see what Eva Marie can do on her won.
Eva said she’s done wasting her time on Alexa and Lily and tried to leave but she tripped, then took off.
Raw Women’s Championship – Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
Ripley ducked Flair’s opening swing and it a front slam and went after her, but Flair caught her with a kick and threw Ripley into a corner.
Flair missed her splash but Ripley didn’t, and Ripley hit a series of shoulders, but Flair fought back and the pair exchanged blows in the middle of the ring.

Flair threw her into the corner and Ripley came out and hit a dropkick for a pin attempt and then hit a series of knees to Flair’s midsection.
Ripley countered a suplex attempt with a small package pin attempt, and then hit a German suplex and a dropkick for a pin attempt.
Flair clotheslined Ripley over the top rope to the floor where she reinjured her leg, and then hit a running chop block on the floor before sending Ripley into the ring, but the ref held Flair back as we headed to commercial.

Back from commercial, Flair’s in control and working over Ripley’s injured leg by wrapping it around the ropes.
Flair then stomped her leg as it was wrapped in the ropes and went for a figure 4 and Ripley kicked her off and hit a German suplex.
They exchanged right in the middle of the ring, and Ripley hit a couple of clotheslines, a kick, and northern lights suplex for a pin attempt.
Flair hit a backbreaker and big boot, and then she headed to the top rope for a moonsault but Ripley got her knees up and she locked in her own figure 4 on Flair.
Nikki cashes in!
😭❤️👏🏻 Yesssss!!! Congratulations @NikkiCrossWWE https://t.co/s49gJRHEwj

Flair managed to roll over to reverse the pressure and Ripley grabbed the ropes to break the hold.
Ripley hit the Riptide but Flair got a foot on the rope to break the pin.
Ripley argued with the ref and Flair grabbed her title belt and headed to the back, so Ripley gave chase. Flair hit her with the championship belt to get disqualified.
Flair celebrated keeping her title, and Ripley attacked her from behind and she threw her into the ring post and then hit a Riptide on the floor.
Nikki A.S.H. came out and cashed in the MITB contract and hit a crossbody off the top rope to win the title.
We called this possibility in the WWE Raw Preview, and it looks like Nikki recreated Bayley’s cash in a couple of years ago on an unconscious Flair.
Congratulations Nikki!
