WWE Raw (10/2/23) Results

– The show starts with a burst of action as Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are fighting their way down to the ring. They were supposed to wrestle tonight but that appears like it’s not going to happen as Raquel Rodriguez comes out to get involved in the melee, followed by returning Rhea Ripley. All four women brawl until Ripley is left alone in the ring. She’s clearly pissed off and she calls out the other members of Judgment Day. Damian and Dominik march down to the ring, Finn appears to be missing tonight. 

– Ripley says there’s not supposed to be a leader of the group but the minute she gets taken out, things start falling apart. She says she left it up to Damian to handle things, but that backfired and now the Tag Team Champions are sidelined. She then berates Mysterio for losing his NXT North American Title. She says she got him a rematch for the championship but if he loses the match, don’t bother coming home. 

– Jey Uso comes out for this extended segment and Dom offers to handle business for Priest because Priest is medically disqualified from getting physical tonight. Uso attacks Mysterio. JD McDonagh appears and starts helping Dom. Cody Rhodes gets involved even the sides. Adam Pearce announces that Judgment Day will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against the team of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at WWE Fastlane.

– Gunther and Tommaso Ciampa come out for their contract signing. Ciampa signs the contract and says next week, he will fight for the five-year-old version of himself who wanted to be WWE Intercontinental Champion. Gunther says he fights for what’s near and dear to himself, and that is the Intercontinental Championship. He calls himself the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. Ciampa says if Gunther is so confident he should defend the title tonight. The match is made for tonight.
