Trish fought her off with chops and hit a headbutt with her face shield. Lynch fired back and went for a Beck-Sploder, but Trish fought out of it. Lynch hit her second attempt to send Trish to the floor.
Lynch hit a baseball slide and kept after her on the floor as Trish led her on a chase before nailing Lynch with a clothesline and drover her into the barricade.
Lynch kicked off Trish’s face covering, but her putting it back on bought her some time to catch Lynch on the top rope and hit a Stratosphere for a near pinfall.

They continued to fight up the stairs while the ref tried to stop them and they fought their way to the concourse where lynch threw her into the wall and then into a stand.
Trish slammed Lynch’s face into a counter and then threw shirts at her. Lynch went for a yurinago on top of the stand but Stark took out her leg and Trish hit a Chic Kick.
Backstage, GUNTHER ripped into Vinci for being a disappointment since they came to Raw, and then Kaiser for being fixated on Maxxine and Kaiser promised to fix it.
GUNTHER told him he’ll go to Adam Pearce and sort it out and he’ll face Gable next week.
Pearce ripped into Lynch and Stark and said the next time they do this match it’ll be in a steel cage. Of course, he accused Stark of being at ringside when she didn’t appear until well after the match was over and they were fighting on the concourse.
Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor
Cody and Balor traded holds and counters early on until Balor hit an elbow to break a arm lock, but Cody responded with a hesitating forward suplex slam.

Damian Priest came out, and Balor turned it around again with a sling blade, but ran into a kick. Balor caught Cody’s Cody Cutter attempt with an elbow for a near pinfall.
Cody avoided a Coup de Grace, and looked to injure his left leg. Cody hit a Cody Cutter and Balor rolled to the floor.
Priest grabbed Cody’s foot when he went for a dive, and Cody then sent Balor out to Priest and hit both of them with a dive.
Balor hit a superplex but it looked like Cody might’ve hit his head. The ref intercepted a chair meant for Balor, and Balor missed the MITB briefcase between his legs, so Cody hit him and Priest with it for the win.
After the match, Dom attacked Cody and Priest joined in and stomped Cody down. Zany came out with a steel chair and took out Priest ton the floor, then Dom and Balor in the ring until JD hit Zayn from behind.
Priest hit a South of Heaven on Cody when he tried to stop them from stomping away on Zayn, and Balor hit a Coup de Grace on Cody.

This was a pretty good ending as it hinted at McDonagh joining Judgement Day. What did you think of it? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Raw Results.
