Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results 2023 Draft Edition!
This should be an interesting show as we get to find out who else will be moving brands while most will probably stay put, plus there are a few good looking matches.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
2023 Draft Round 1
Triple H once again started the show to kick off the second night of the draft.
He welcomed us to Raw, and then ran down the rules with one saying that after the draft they can be traded to other brands and reiterated that Roman Reigns going to Smackdown Raw will crown a new World Heavyweight Champion.

He explained that Brock Lesnar can’t be drafted as he renegotiated his deal to be a free agent and can appear on either brand at any time.
Rhea Ripley was Raw’s first pick, followed by Smackdown selecting Austin Theory.
Raw picked up Seth Rollins and Triple H orchestrated the fans singing his song.
Smackdown then nabbed Charlotte Flair.
Triple H then introduced Paul Heyman, and they shook hands before Triple H showed him the new championship belt.
Heyman headed to the ring to address some of Reigns’ business items. The first was Reigns, Sikoa, and Heyman were drafted to Smackdown and the Uso’s fate will be determined tonight after not winning back the tag team championships.
He also promised Reigns will address the new title and said it’ll look relevant around Roman Reigns’ waist.
He did point out that Reigns can’t complete for the title because he’s not on Raw, and it means everyone in the locker room that “thinks they’re ring” are talking about Reigns.
He focused on insulting Rollins, and Rollins came out in response.
Seth Rollins provokes Heyman and Reigns
Rollins started off talking about being on a separate show from Reigns and that means Reigns won’t have to run from him anymore and Heyman won’t have to work too hard to make sure he doesn’t get his rematch.

Rollins then gave him a spoiler by declaring at Night of Champions he will win the World Heavyweight Championship and the world will see what a real champion looks like.
Heyman grabbed his phone, and Rollins cued up the fans to sing his song and Heyman lost his cool at not being able to hear Reigns.
Rollins did a countdown to stomp Heyman’s eyes through his head, and when he got to one Solo Sikoa came out.
Heyman held Solo back, and told Rollins he’ll be facing Solo tonight.
Rollins accepted, saying they don’t have to wait to make it official.
