WWE RAW REPORT: GUESS WHO IS BACK ON RAW, A NEW CHALLENGER FOR THE WOMEN'S TITLE, THE GREATEST EVER, EDGE IS NOT DONE, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-06-22 23:00:00

We are at the WWE Performance Center and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Samoa Joe, and Byron Saxton.

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.

Drew welcomes everyone to Raw and tonight it is Championship Monday.  Last week, R Truth accepted a winner take all match where his title was on the line.  With the future of the title in R Truth's hands, he is still champion.  That was the past.  Now we have to look to the future.

Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring.

Dolph says Drew is excited to see him.  Dolph says AJ Styles was traded to Smackdown and in return, Raw gets yours truly and his tag team partner, Robert Roode.  Dolph says Raw got the better deal and he says that he is happy to see Drew with the title.  He wanted to make sure Drew had the title until he got his chance.

Dolph asks Drew if he forgot the Drew McIntyre redemption story.  You were fired years ago and you would have been done if it wasn't for Dolph Ziggler.  Dolph says he picked Drew up and brought him to Raw.  You are on Raw because of him.  They became dominant tag team champions because of him.  Now, you are the dominant WWE Champion . . . because of me.  Dolph says he knows that you need a challenger for Extreme Rules.  All he asks in return is what he is owed.  

Drew says in your mind, you are responsible for all of Drew's success.  That is some nice revisionist history.  Since we split apart, it hasn't been smooth sailing.  Without Big Daddy Claymore watching your back, you lost a lot.  Drew tells Dolph to look at him when he talks to him.  You aren't untalented, but you have become what we used to despise.  You have become and entitled jackasss.  Drew says he needs an opponent for Extreme Rules.  You callled me the Scottish Pyschopath.  Imagine what I can do with this title on the line.  How far will I go to keep this title.  Do you want this match.

Drew says it's official.  Dolph wants the match.  It will be Drew McIntyre versus Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Championship.

Samoa Joe starts to talk about the Women's Title Match between Asuka and Charlotte Flair and . . . 

Nia Jax makes her way to the ring and she goes into the ring with a steel chair.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Nia is sitting in the center of the ring.  She says it must be Monday because Charlotte Flair got exactly what she wanted, even if she doesn't deserve it.  Charlotte got a title match against Asuka.  Nia was cheated at Baclkash and then another biased referee screwed her over.

R Truth makes his way to the ring.  

Truth says Nia is confused and he says he has a match against the leader of an evil ninja clan, Akira Tozawa for his 24/7/48/7 I-95 South, I bing Watched episodes of Reno 911 Championship.  Unless you are the real Akira Tozawa.  Truth says ninjas are the masters of disguise.  

Nia says she is not in the mood for this.

Akira Tozawa shows up behind the announcers and Truth says there are two Akira Tozawas.

Truth goes to the back as he evades the ninjas.

Nia says she is not getting off this chair until . . . 

Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring and Nia gets up.

Charlotte asks everyone if she needs to explain things.  Nia lost her last two title matches because she dropped the ball.  Nia is throwing a hissy fit.

Nia says that Charlotte gets what she wants because Ric Flair is her dad.  

Charlotte says that Ric is now known as Charlotte Flair's dad.

Charlotte waits for someone to hold the ropes before she enters the ring.

Nia says Charlotte is delusional if she doesn't think her dad helped her get what she has earned.

Charlotte points out it was her dad who ended Asuka's undefeated streak.  IT was also her dad who beat her twice.

Nia points out that she has dominated Charlotte in the past and you are avoiding her to build her legacy.  The person who is able to take Charlotte's crown is her.

Charlotte punches Nia and Nia punches back.  

Referees come out to separate Charlote and Nia and Charlotte with a boot to the head.  They are separated again 

We have a recap of the history between The Street Profits and Viking Raiders leading into them actually wrestling a match against each other.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are in the back and Montez says it all comes down to the championship match.  The Viking Raiders need to know . . . 

Erik and Ivar show up.

Montez says the Viking Profits aren't the nWo.  They aren't 4 Life, they are 4Ever.  Montez says they became friends.

Angelo says that even though they are friends, when the bell rings, it on.  

Erik says that there is nothing that is going to stop them from reclaiming their gold.  Ivar says they will see you in the ring.

We go to commercial with Zelina Vega walking into the shot.

While Ford and Dawkins celebrate, Angel Garza and Andrade attack Ford and Dawkins.  Erik and Ivar return to the ring but Garza and Andrade are able to get out of the ring.

Garza and Andrade who how to do the tranquilo fist pose.

Seth Rollins is standing in the back and Austin Theory and Buddy Murphy show up.  Seth says he has a message for Rey Mysterio.  Soon, all will be revealed.

We are back with a look at what happened when Rey's son Dominik attacked Seth Rollins last week.

Seth Rollins is still standing in the back and he says sometimes in life, we are destined for roles beyond our choices.  I did not choose to be the Monday Night Messiah, just as Rey did not choose to be a sacrifice.  The difference between you and I is that I have embraced by role in the greater good, while you have been defiant and defiance breeds suffering.  The saddest part of all of this is that you have allowed your son to get involved in this situation.  I want you to know that whatever becomes of you or your son, from this point forward is on you.  It is guilt on you.  The greater good is coming to us all and there is nothing to stop it.  I have heard it said that legends never die, but they sure as hell can outlive their welcome.

We take a look at what happened between Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair earlier this hour.

We see Charlotte Flair leaving the trainer's room and Charly Caruso asks Charlotte if she thought about postponing the match.  Charlotte says she will be fine when she holds up that title belt.

We see Zelina Vega, Angel Garza, and Andrade in the back and Charly Caruso says it was surprising to see you working as a cohesive unit.  What caused that unprovoked attack?

Angel says when you know what you want, you have to take risks.  It is like with a beautiful woman and you look deep into her eyes.

Zelina tells Angel there is no time for that.  She tells Two Buck Chuck that you are looking at a united front.  They have taken their differences and turned it into strength.  They will go after a common prize.  Andrade mentions the Raw Tag Titles.
