Raw results: Sept. 12, 2022
Finn Bálor def. Matt Riddle
After Seth “Freakin” Rollins declared himself the face of Monday Night Raw, The Judgment Day offered to take on Matt Riddle and provide a new path forward. The Original Bro declined the ominous proposition and kickstarted a match with Finn Bálor. Damian Priest attempted to tip the scales in the match, but some ingenious offense and an assist from Rey Mysterio evened the odds. A final intervention from The Visionary allowed Bálor to line up a Coup de Grace and take home the statement victory for The Judgment Day. After the match, Rollins delivered one final Stomp, hoping to end his rivalry with Riddle for good.
Dakota Kai & IYO SKY def. Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title
Damage CTRL laid out their mission last week to capture all the gold, and Dakota Kai & IYO SKY took a huge step to accomplishing that goal. Raquel Rodriguez set up Aliyah for a splash onto the challengers with a unique press and toss of her teammate. Damage CTRL had a few tricks up their sleeve as well, as Bayley’s interference set up SKY to go skyscraping to take out Rodriguez and allow Kai to swoop in with a back-breaking pin of Aliyah to crown new champions.
Johnny Gargano def. Chad Gable
After stunning the WWE Universe with his return three weeks ago, Johnny Gargano made his highly anticipated in-ring return. Chad Gable looked to play spoiler, but Johnny Wrestling showed little signs of ring rust and shook the Richter scale with a dive into Gable & Otis on the outside. Gargano followed that up with One Final Beat to clinch the win, but the under-handed Austin Theory had the last laugh with a selfie-worthy assault aided by the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Bianca Belair def. Sonya Deville to retain the Raw Women’s Championship
Bianca Belair felt motivated to deliver an open challenge for the Raw Women’s Title, and Sonya Deville swooped in for the surprise acceptance. The blue brand Superstar looked to seize the opportunity with some devious tactics, but The EST flexed her muscles with a clinching K.O.D. The victory didn’t impress Damage CTRL however, as the trio launched a post-match attack that was only broken up by the emergence of Asuka & Alexa Bliss.

Omos shocked the system and made quick work of the competition in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match.
Edge def. Dominik Mysterio via disqualification
Rey Mysterio did everything he could to talk sense into his son, but Dominik Mysterio was intent on stepping out of his father’s shadow. The Rated-R Superstar was showing a bit of the after effects from last week’s attack by The Judgment Day, but his legendary grit showed when he crawled his way to the ropes during the younger Mysterio’s submission. With Edge set to teach the ultimate lesson, The Master of the 619 stepped in and begged the WWE Hall of Famer to show mercy. The confusion opened the door for The Judgment Day to line up repeated steel chair blows to Edge.
Emotions will run high as Edge takes on Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio has had an emotionally wrecking week in his young career. Moments after gifting Edge & Rey Mysterio the win at WWE Clash at the Castle, Dominik hit Edge below the belt, then brutally clotheslined his own father.
On Raw, Dominik seemed to have officially joined The Judgment Day as he stood with Rhea Ripley as Edge was beaten down in the ring by Finn Bálor and Damian Priest. Following Priest’s victory over Rey, The Judgment Day announced that Dominik will challenge Edge with the indication that Dominik will put Edge back into retirement.
Can Edge beat some sense into Dominik in what is sure to be a heated contest, or will Dominik’s new allegiance with The Judgment Day pay off? Find out next week at 8/7 C on USA!
Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah to face first test as champions against Dakota Kai & IYO SKY
Two weeks after Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah were crowned the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, they will face the very team that they beat in the final: Dakota Kai & IYO SKY.
With Damage CTRL firmly in control after their win over Bianca Belair, Asuka & Alexa Bliss at WWE Clash at the Castle, Kai & SKY will seek to double down on that win with a Women’s Tag Team Championship victory.
Can Damage CTRL add gold to their résumé, or will Rodriguez & Aliyah once again prove they are the rightful WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions? Find out next Monday at 8/7 C on Raw!
Johnny Wrestling to make his in-ring return against Chad Gable
Johnny Gargano is back and next week Monday Night Raw will witness the in-ring return of Johnny Wrestling.
Earlier today, Austin Theory used his connections to reveal Gargano's opponent.
Gargano shocked the world two weeks ago on Raw when he made his unbelievable return in Toronto, sending shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe. Now Gargano will look to introduce Johnny Wrestling to the masses, a moniker he earned after becoming an NXT Triple Crown champion.
