Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results!
This looks like it’ll be an interesting episode as Becky Lynch will finally get to close out her feud with Trish Stratus and more!
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
The Judgement Day minus Fin Balor came out to start the night off and Rhea Ripley tried to set the tone and Priest added they should’ve won last week but as long as he’s got the MITB they’ll dictate what happens.
He declared Balor will defeat Cody Rhodes tonight and then went on a tear about Balor not being there, and when he called him out, JD McDonagh came out.

JD said he doesn’t want to interrupt them and he said he has a message for them and it’s not to worry about Balor and JD’s friendship and told them they have to focus on Balor and Sami Zayn.
Ripley silenced him for not being in Judgement Day and not needing to listen to him, and Dom tried but the crowd drowned him out as usual.
JD said he meant no disrespect and was just delivering the message, and Ripley told him to tell Balor they need to talk and Zayn came out and went after JD.
JD slipped through the ring and slammed Zayn’s injured arm into the ring post a couple of times.
Sami Zayn vs. JD McDonagh
During the commercial break, the Judgement Day headed to the back so this match could get started as it was made official during the break.
Zayn still took it to JD and JD led him on a chase on the floor and through the ring before Zayn caught him with a monkey flip kick into eh ropes.
JD pulled off the protective covering on Zayn’s elbow and hit an armbreaker and continued to work on his left arm.
Zayn fought back with chops and sent JD to the floor where he hit him with a clothesline.

They went back and forth and Zayn followed a pin attempt by JD with a Mishinoku Driver for a near pinfall.
JD locked in a crossface and Zayn nearly tapped out, but rolled JD over to get to the ropes to break the hold.
Zayn hit an exploder and Balor came out and taunted Zayn. JD took advantage of the distraction for a roll up for a near pinfall, then ate a headbutt. JD headed to the top rope, but Zayn got his boots up.
He knocked Balor off the apron and closed it out with a Helluva Kick for the win and ducked out before Balor could jump him.
