Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results!
Tonight should be a fun episode with Bad Bunny returning for some payback with Damian Priest and the Judgement Day.
With the draft beginning this Friday, we expect some teases as superstars vie for their chosen shows and some matches to spawn from them as well.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
A deal he could refuse
Cody Rhodes started the night off by coming out and going over what topics to talk about, including where he could go in the draft.
He switched gears to his task of slaying the Beast Brock Lesnar at Backlash, and said it was ironic that he waited for Cody to turn his back to jump him despite being the most decorated combat sports veteran in history.
He called the attack cowardly, but the most embarrassing beatdown Cody ever took. Cody had something to show the fans, so he removed his coat the threw it into the crown and then his shirt followed.
He showed off his scar from Hell in a Cell, and told Lesnar to pick a spot and put another scar on him since he hasn’t learned from his last one.
Cody talked about beating Rollins, one of the best currently, though record keepers have pointed out Rollins lost all 77 singles matches last year.

He thanked the fans, and then Finn Balor came out and pointed out they all have scars.
He saw Cody had Roman Reigns beat but he was screwed, and that happened because he had no one there to have his back.
Cody told him he’s not buying, and Balor told him everyone knows Cody and the Judgment Day would be unstoppable and the fans sounded mixed about it.
Balor pleaded with him not to make the same mistake at Backlash and let them have his back.
Cody said he couldn’t hear him over the fans and when he asked them they chanted “You suck!” Cody’s not looking for a fight and thanked Balor for his help and declined to join.
Balor told him to watch his back because some day he’ll smack the bleach off his head.
Cody said he’s been medically cleared to compete tonight and challenged Balor. Balor jawed at him as he left the ring.
The Usos (Jimmy, Jey) and Solo Sikoa vs. LWO (Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde)
Jay and Wilde started it off, and Wilde countered a wrist lock with a leg scissors and a dropkick, but Jey managed to tag in Jimmy and they double teamed him.
The LWO responded and quickly cleared the ring to establish control as we headed to commercial.

Solo tried to reestablish control, but he at a tornado DDT and Escobar tagged in and he and Jimmy went at it as Escobar caught Jimmy in the ropes with a step up kick from the apron and hit a crossbody from the top rope for a near pinfall.
Del Toro tagged in and caught Jimmy with a missile dropkick and Phoenix Splash to have Jey break up the pin attempt.
Chaos ensured on the floor and Solo took out Wilde with a Yurinagi on the apron, while in the ring Del Toro nailed Jimmy with a kick and headed to the top rope, but Solo caught him out of mid air with a Samoan Spike.
The Usos then hit a 1-D for the win.
After the match, the Usos claimed they had one bad night at WrestleMania, but they’re dedicating their win on this week’s Smackdown to Roman Reigns.
