Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results!
Tonight should be a fun one as the Brock Lesnar’s reign as WWE Champion begins.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
The show started off with a recap video of the Fatal 5 Way for the WWE Championship at Day 1.
In the arena, it was nice to see it full and the camera showing fans and signs without the colored light tricks they’ve been using to hide the lack of fans.
The lights went out, and when they came back on Paul Heyman was in the ring as advocate and introduced his client, Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar slid the belt into the ring for Heyman to take it, then threw the ring steps in and set them up for a Olympic type of podium to stand on and then he took the mic.

Lesnar gave a shout out to his good friend Roman Reigns as he’s sitting at home watching the real champion on Raw with a “Get well soon, buddy” at the end.
South Carolina acknowledged him. He then thanked Heyman for his free agency and for the strings he pulled to give Lesnar the chance on Saturday.
Heyman admitted that he allegedly worked for Lesnar to have free agent status, and then to make it a Fatal 5 Way.
He announced Lesnar will defend the title against the winner of the Fatal 4 Way tonight between Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Big E, and Bobby Lashley.
Heyman mocked Reigns for being vulnerable without his special council and one week without him Reigns caught Covid.
He praised Lashley for his ability, but also pointed out Lashley’s best offence against Lesnar came from behind.
He then propped up Big E for being a great champion and would still be champion if it wasn’t for Lesnar.
RK-Bro (Randy Orton, Riddle) vs. Alpha Academy (Chad Gable, Otis)
After Gable gave an intro to the four most dangerous letters O-T-I-S, they attacked and sent RK-Brok to the floor where Otis hit a release suplex on Riddle as we headed to commercial, and all before the bell rang.

We returned as Gable took it to Riddle and worked over Riddle’s left knee. Otis tagged in to hit a press slam for a pin attempt, then Gable went back to work.
Gable pulled Orton off the apron to prevent a tag, and Riddle caught Otis with a running knee.
Otis caught Riddle’s RKO attempt for a slam and the win. Orton never got into the ring.
24/7 Championship Mixed Tag Team Match – Reggie and Dana Brooke vs. Akira Kozawa and Tamina
So much for getting along, team!@TaminaSnuka@TozawaAkira#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/czzMq9mFzM

The rules are relatively simple in that if Dana get pinned she loses despite it being a tag match.
Reggie and Akira faced off to start, and Reggie sidestepped a Akira charge and Akira hit a boot in Tamina’s face.
She clocked him and Reggie hit a flip for the pin. Well, this was a time waster of the worst sort. The show started off strong, and WWE Raw Results hopes this match was a small bump.
