Ladies and gentlemen, we are almost twenty minutes away from the end of tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw! I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer and I’ll be here until the show’s over, to give you the live recap and results of the show as they come! WWE Raw is just about done but we ain’t wrapped up yet!
Newly crowned WWE United States Champion Andrade made his way out for a routine squash match, when he and Zelina Vega tried to destroy their thoroughly unnamed opponent, driving him onto the exposed cement just as he did to injure Humberto Carrillo a couple of weeks ago. This match basically had no finish, as Ricochet came out to make the save and the bout was thrown out.
WWE Raw Results (12/30/2019) Andrade def. Ricochet
Ricochet then challenged the US Champ to an impromptu match on the spot, wanting to avenge his friends Humberto and Rey Mysterio and put Andrade in his place.
You can see an excerpt of my recap of this match below:
We come back to see Andrade taking Ricochet into a side headlock. Ricochet fights out, flip kick, step-up enziguri! Hits the ropes, charging forearm! Wants the fireman’s carry, Andrade escapes, but a roll-through dropkick takes him out! Running Shooting Star Press for a nearfall! Zelina distracts Ricochet, tries for the Recoil but Andrade stops with a throat thrust. Exchange of forearms, Andrade with his feint kick into the spinning elbow absolutely DRILLS Ricochet! Yikes! Nearfall. Andrade wants the Hammerlock DDT, Ricochet cradles out of it, ducks another elbow, Spinning Suplex! Goes up top, Andrade distracts the ref as Zelina shoves Ricochet to the canvas, Andrade with a Hammerlock DDT for the win!
Winner: Andrade
This was a very good match as one would expect between these two, Andrade really seeming particularly vicious tonight. The new champ building yet more momentum.
