WWE Raw Results returned as the introductions were made for what should be an interesting match if Damage CTRL doesn’t get involved.
Kai caught Belair off guard early on and dropped her by her hair, and Belair returned the favor before hitting a dropkick.
Kai managed to stay a step ahead of Belair and caught her with a pump kick into the ring post to cement her early advantage.

Kai then countered a Scorpion Kick with a front slam and rolled Belair over for a near pinfall.
Belair avoided a double stomp and hit a gut buster, then tried a KOD but Kai held onto her braid and then sent Belair into the turnbuckle.
Belair dodged a running knee to hit a KOD for the win.
Backstage, Balor wasn’t impressed with the Bloodline’s part of the deal, and Heyman told them to handle things so they don’t go into debt with Reigns.
Priest told him that sounds like something between Reigns and the Usos, and the Judgement Day takes care of business.
Cody loses it
Once again, Cody Rhodes came out and said he knows what he wants to talk about, and called out Brock Lesnar.
Adam Pearce came out and told him he can’t allow him to do it in Little Rock because he’s not medically cleared to be there and asked him to leave the ring.
Cody thanked him for the respect and said he’d leave. He set down the mic, shook Pearce’s hand, and left the ring. But then he thought about it and pulled out a steel chair from under the ring and argued with Pearce.

Pearce called out security to remove Cody, and after a brief standoff Brock Lesnar came out.
Pearce made the match official at Backlash and begged him not to do this while Lesnar egged him on.
Cody took out the security team with the chair and fought his way to Lesnar. But more security caught Cody and pushed him back to the ring.
Lesnar had his fun and left, and Cody beat up the security people again and threw them from the ring.
Cody then grabbed the mic and told Lesnar he’s not a cowboy but a coward for outsmarting Cody.
Backstage, Lesnar quietly and calmly looked like he was leaving the arena.
The Miz vs. Seth Rollins
Miz attacked Rolling on the floor before the match could start and sent Rollins into the barricade, ring steps, and then the announce desk twice before throwing him into the ring for the match to start.

When the bell rang, Miz kept after Rollins with some knees and hammering away, but after he gave Rollins a chance to recover, Rollins hit him with a forearm and clotheslined him to the floor for a trio of dives.
Miz backdropped Rollins into the time keeper area to buy some time.
Rollins caught Miz off the top rope and tried for a Pedigree, then rolled Miz up with a sunset flip for a pin attempt.
After exchanging pin attempts, Miz locked in a figure 4 but Rollins made it to the ropes to break the hold, then Miz avoided a Stomp and hit a pair of DDTs for a near pinfall.
Rollins went on a run with a superplex and a roll through into a Falcon’s Arrow before closingit out with a Stomp for the pin.
