WWE Raw Results returned as Cody Rhodes was asked about last week and he mentioned how Balor sat on him and referred to JD McDonagh as a FUNKO. He then took Byron Saxton out to the ring in front of the fans.
Once on the ramp, Saxton asked Cody what he wants to talk about and Cody wanted to say high to Wade Barret and Michael Cole.
He ripped into the Judgement Day and gave props to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for taking down them down.

In a pre recorded interview, Shinsuke Nakamura talked about what he said to Seth Rollins last weel, and he said he knows about his back.
He’s been broken and in pain for years and is hurting every day, and now Rollins’ fears are coming true.
He talked about how Rollins’ back is failing like he is failing to live up to the code tattooed on his back and asked if Rollins is satisfied.
He closed it out by telling Rollins to watch his back.

Ripley quickly locked in a submission for the win, making this a fast squashish match.
As she celebrated on the ramp, Raquel Rodriquz came out on a crutch, and Ripley mocked her. Raquel quickly showed it was a plot as she threw it at Ripley and nailed her with a boot and threw her into the ring.
They went back and forth in the ring and she dropped Ripley with a clothesline and a fallaway slam that sent her to the floor.
Raquel told her not to go anywhere because Raquel’s been cleared for action and they’ll face each other at Payback.

In the ring, the Miz wasted no time in informing the crowd that his wife is from Montreal and would never come to Quebec, and he ran down LA Knight for blaming him for his loss and that champions know it happens.
He hyped his career and how he’ll be remembered twenty years from now while Knight will be a blip and then announced his personal pick to face him tonight.
The Miz used him to try to mock Knight, but Tozawa only said yeah and what and infuriated the Miz and he botted Tozawa.
The Miz vs. Akira Tozawa
Knight came out as the match started and Tozawa dropkicked Miz out of the ring, and when mis reentered the ring and charged, Tozawa pulled the other rope down to send Miz to the floor in front of Knight and hit a crossbody.

The Miz hit an ax handle while Knight pointed out Miz talked about what he did ten years ago and that’s why he came out with some tissues for him.
Tozawa turned it around, but Miz sent him to the floor and got in Knight’s face to jaw. Miz tried to send Tozawa into Knight, but Tozawa literally ran the table and sent Miz into the ring steps.
Miz got his knees up to counter Tozawa’s senton off the top rope and posed for Knight. He told Knight he was nothing and Tozawa slipped free and rolled the Miz up for the win.
While the Miz argued with the ref, Knight nailed him with a Blunt Force Trauma.
