Here is your post-Monday Night Raw fight size update for August 8, 2022:

– Once again, Rhea Ripley dominated Dominik Mysterio on Monday night. After the young Mysterio got upset when his father seemingly took Edge’s side during a confrontation, Dominik was nowhere to be found. During Rey’s match with Finn Balor, Ripley brought a bloodied and bruised Dom to the stage, and the distraction was enough to help Balor score the win.

Despite Ciampa’s valiant effort, Lashley defeated him to retain the title. In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Lashley discussed his win and said that Ciampa showed up for the match. He made it clear that he’ll continue to be a fighting champion because that’s what the title is all about.

“As great as @SuperKingofBros could be in that ring he’s even better at flushing his own potential down the toilet. Don’t believe me? Ask @danawhite!”
