Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results!
Tonight should be a fun show as we kick off the Money in the Bank qualifying matches, a fatal four way for the women’s tag titles, and Seth Rollins debuts as the World Heavyweight Champion.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
After a recap of Night of Champions, Seth Rollins was introduced as the new World Heavyweight Champion and he came out through the crowd to a loud pop.
It was a long celebration entrance and Rollins soaked it up as streamers covered the ring and fireworks went off. Once it quieted down, he welcomed us to Monday Night Rollins and the fans chanted “You deserve it.”
Rollins then went on how he’s a champion that’s there to fight and he wants all the fights. In response, AJ Styles came out. With any luck we’ll have a rematch of their Night of Champions classic.
Styles grabbed a mic and said how he knows he’s supposed to be on Smackdown, but he couldn’t resist coming to Raw to congratulate Rollins.

He gave Rollins everything he had and he then disagreed that Rollins deserved it. Instead he earned the right to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
Rollins responded by telling him after the beating he gave him, he’s earned this and offered his hand. Styles accepted and the Judgement Day came out.
Priest added that after watching the Bloodline implode, they now run the entire WWE and Balor poked fun at them for not being able to beat the tag champs.
When Ripley said Dom could be the next champion, Rollins and Styles laughed at him and Dom called Styles out for beating him.
Rollins and Styles the accepted a tag match against any two from the Judgement Day.
Backstage, Adam Pearce was on the phone trying to justify violating the brand split, and Rollins tried to work his magic and they teased each other before Pearce made it official.

The Miz turned it around after hitting a hurricanrana and bouncing him off the announce desk.
Miz was surprisingly nimble as he hit a springboard crossbody for a pin attempt, then ate a combination of kicks and a headbutt.
Miz took out Ricochet’s legs on the ropes and hit a DDT for a near pinfall. After each going for roll up pins, Ricochet hit a spinning kick, a flapjack and a shooting star pressh for the win.
