WWE Raw Results returned as Jimmy came up to Sami Zayn and called him out for playing mind games with Jey, and Zayn told him he’s just telling the truth.
Jimmy said Owens never forgave him and used him to get the tag titles, and when they lose the tag titles Owens will turn on him and he’ll deserve every bit of it.
Finn Balor vs. Cody Rhodes
They traded move attempts early on as they each looked for an advantage.
The tide started to turn when Cody caught Balor off the ropes and hit a gut buster on his shoulders for a quick pin attempt, and the his a stalling suplex for another pin attempt.

Cody fought back with several strikes and a powerslam followed by a Disaster Kick for a near pinfall.
Balor ran into a superkick and Cody followed it with a Cody Ciutter for another near pinfall. Balor slipped out of a power bomb attempt and his a double stomp and shotgun dropkick, but Cody avoided the Coup de Grace.
Cody hit a Pedigree and Crossroads for a surprisingly one sided win. We expected more out of this match.
Rollins and Omos show each other respect
Seth Rollins came out to talk about his match with Omos, but something bigger (the new World Heavyweight Championship) caught his eye, and the fans chanted “You deserve it!”
He mentioned how he’s not on the list of those Reigns defeated, and how Reigns will have us believe everyone wants what he has. Rollins said the truth is some of them still want to fight and he said the new title is a chance to push the industry forward that’s more than politics and part timers.

Rollins cued for the fans to sing his song, but Omos’ music played instead and he came out with MVP.
MVP payed massive respect to Rollins, but heeded him to not make predictions about his future because after Backlash and Omos he may not have one.
The fans responded by singing Rollins’ song and he told the crowd they should thank MVP for his kind words, and that he undersold Omos.
Rollins praised Omos for being once in a generation for being born that way, Rollins is once in a generation because he made it his way and he promised to make Omos famous with the match of his life at Backlash and the fans sang his song once again.
Rey Mysterio vs. Damian Priest w/Dominik Mysterio
Rey went after Priest as soon as the bell ran, but Priest took over with a right and boot, then he stomped away.
Priest hit a gut buster as Bad Bunny arrived backstage just in time to help Rey win. Rey got a few shots in, but Priest nailed him with another right and surfed him to the floor.
Rey kept fighting back and hit a moonsault from the apron to the floor, then his a sitton on the ring and a crossbody for a pin attempt.
He set Priest up for a 619, but Priest caught him with a superkick for a near pinfall.
Frustrated, Priest grabbed a steel chair and Rey dropkicked it into his face, and then set him up and hit a 619.

Priest stopped Rey’s frog splash by throwing the chair and hitting Rey with it for a disqualification, and then hit a South From Heaven.
He cleared off the announce desk as Bad bunny came out with a kendo stick.
Priest tried to talk him down before charging him and Bunny nailed him with the kendo stick and chases him to the floor before chasing him into the crowd.
Bunny grabbed a mic and stood on the announce desk as Priest reemerged on the ramp. Bunny then told him he’s not holding back anymore and challenged him to a match in a street fight in Puerto Rico.
This was a pretty good ending even if it was as predictable as possible. What did you think about it? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Raw Results.
