No Holds Barred Interview, Big E And Drew McIntyre Coexist, Mansoor Gets Fired Up | Raw Fight Size
Here is your post-Raw fight size update for Monday, October 18, 2021.
– Charlotte Flair opened the program by bemoaning the fact that she has to defend her title and that there was no goodbye ceremony planned for her (this being her last night on Raw, and all). She was then interrupted by Bianca Belair, who would be challenging her later in the night for the Raw Women’s Championship. Bianca talked about becoming a double-champ after she wins tonight and at Crown Jewel. Charlotte took offence with being interrupted and attacked Belair, but it was The EST of WWE who stood tall to end the segment.
Oh, it’s about to be ON for the #WWERaw #WomensTitle in tonight’s main event between @MsCharlotteWWE and @BiancaBelairWWE! pic.twitter.com/kC2JzSZrZM

– After a backstage encounter earlier in the day, Austin Theory was set to face R-Truth, but he brought out Jeff Hardy to take his place. Theory embarrassed Hardy two weeks ago by attacking him and taking a selfie, beat him last week, and pinned him again tonight. Jeff got revenge after the bell, though, hitting a Twist of Fate and snapping a selfie of his own to even the score.
Alas, a cruel Twist of Fate for @austintheory1 and @JEFFHARDYBRAND gets some payback!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/Bhc7TfEhSt
