WWE Raw Results returned as Seth Rollins’ interview continued, and he said now is the perfect time for a new World Heavyweight Championship to be done the way it needs to be done.
When asked about his thoughts on Roman Reigns, he said he loves him but he doesn’t like him. He’ll always love Reigns, but he hates what he’s become and he’s been poisoned by his own ego.

He’s taken opportunities away from everyone else and that’s extremely selfish. Rollins wants to be champion so we can forget about Roman Reigns.
With him as champion on Raw, it’ll be about change, challenges, and pushing the industry forward.
Candace LaRae vs. Zoey Stark

Zoey took them both out with a shoulder into the ring steps, then rolled Candace into the ring for a Z360 for the win.
Lesnar takes down Cody again
Backstage, Mustafa Ali was asked about his match against GUNTHER, and he said it’s a dream of his and throughout his career it’s been failure after failure.
That’s when Lesnar walked past him and told him to get a life before he stepped into the arena.
In the ring, Lesnar issued a open challenge to face him at Night of Champions since Cody’s apparently out. All they had to do was come out and step up to him.
Will @CodyRhodes be able to make it to #WWENOC this Saturday or did @BrockLesnar just ruin The American Nightmare's chances?! 😲😲😲#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/T296WY8jdZ

So of course, Cody came out in a sling.
Once in the ring, Cody removed his sling and ice, and Lesnar drove him into the corner and locked in a Kamura lock on Cody’s left arm.
Lesnar then stomped on Cody’s right arm for good measure. Looks like it’s a lock Cody will find a way to win at Night of Champions. Anything less would derail his story, but then we’ve known that.
