Raw results: Nov. 29, 2021
Seth Rollins def. Finn Bálor
After Seth Rollins reminded the WWE Universe once again that he is next in line for a WWE Championship opportunity, specifically now claiming to have the bout against Big E scheduled for WWE Day 1, Finn Bálor earned a measure of retribution by jumping all over The Visionary before their match.
Once the match got underway, it was hotly contested and remained that way until Rollins ultimately connected with a devastating Stomp on Bálor to earn the victory.
Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro def. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
Despite Riddle not getting his wish to have Randy Orton return the favor by dressing up as The Original Bro this week, RK-Bro still fired on all cylinders during this Raw Tag Team Championship defense against The Dirty Dawgs. This historic bout for Orton, making him the Superstar who has competed in the most matches ever on Raw, culminated with The Viper hitting Ziggler with a sudden RKO for the win, keeping those titles around the waists of RK-Bro.
Edge’s return to Raw was interrupted by The Miz & Maryse
It was supposed to be a Rated-R return to the red brand for WWE Hall of Famer Edge, but The Miz was quick to interrupt the occasion. The A-Lister, flanked by his wife, Maryse, proceeded to demand respect from the WWE Universe fresh off his run on Dancing with the Stars and disparaged WWE for not marketing his return in the same manner as Edge’s. The Rated-R Superstar hurled some cutting responses The Miz’s way, ultimately challenging The Most Must-See Superstar in WWE history to pick a fight in the squared circle, but Miz did not oblige.
The Street Profits def. Alpha Academy
The Street Profits went toe-to-toe with Alpha Academy’s Chad Gable & Otis in another thrilling tag team bout while a visually impaired AJ Styles took in the action from the commentary table with Omos. It wasn’t long before that impairment would prove to be a ruse, as The Phenomenal One tried to seize the opportunity to spoil any hopes of victory for Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford. Ford, however, was able to counter the attack, sending Styles flying off the apron and nailing Gable with a huge Frog Splash for the Street Profits victory.
United States Champion Damian Priest def. Apollo Crews
The time for talking was over for Apollo Crews as he finally got his United States Championship opportunity against Damian Priest. Having Commander Azeez in tow did not prove fruitful for the former Intercontinental Champion, as shortly after the big man was ejected from ringside, Crews fell victim to “The Damian” being unleashed. Priest swiftly connected with The Reckoning to retain his United States Title.
Rey & Dominik Mysterio def. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin
One week removed from coming up short against “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley in a Handicap Match, Rey & Dominik Mysterio aimed to bounce back against Lashley’s former cohorts, Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin. The father-son duo did just that after hitting a Double 619 as Dominik finished off Alexander with a big Frog Splash to secure the all-important victory for the family.
Team Liv def. Team Becks in a 10-Woman Tag Team Match
After signing the contract for a blockbuster Raw Women’s Championship Match earlier in the night, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch decided to see who could prevail one week away from the bout in the form of a massive 10-Woman Tag Team Match.
Morgan led her team consisting of Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Nikki A.S.H. and 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke into battle against Lynch’s squad that also included WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Queen Zelina & Carmella, as well as Doudrop and Tamina. In the end, it was Team Liv standing triumphantly, as Morgan pinned Tamina after Oblivion to earn the huge momentum-building win.
Following the match, a brawl ensued that saw The EST of WWE hit Doudrop with an awe-inspiring Spinebuster and Morgan drop the Raw Women’s Champion with Oblivion heading into her big title opportunity next week.
Kevin Owens def. WWE Champion Big E via disqualification
WWE Champion Big E was eager to get his hands on Kevin Owens in this Raw main event, and the two heavy-hitters slugged it out with Seth Rollins taking it all in from the announce table. After Owens launched a furious attack on The Visionary, an irate Rollins decided to make his presence felt in a more emphatic way by attacking KO and following it up with a Stomp to the WWE Champion.
Because he connected on KO first, Rollins’ plan to prevent Owens from earning a spot in the WWE Day 1 title match backfired, as Owens was declared the winner of the bout as a result of a disqualification and thus inserted into that WWE Championship showdown.
Damian Priest defends United States Championship against Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews has vowed to show the entire world that Damian Priest is not fit to be the United States Champion, and tonight he will try to make good on his threat as the two go one-on-one for the stars-and-stripes title.
Crews has hounded The Archer of Infamy since being drafted to Monday Night Raw, with his sights set squarely on Priest’s U.S. Championship. So far “The Nigerian Warrior” has been all talk, avoiding Priest’s open challenges until Crews himself decided it was the right time.
Meanwhile, Priest has laid waste to the competition as of late, displaying a new aggressiveness that has him decimating his opponents once they trigger his dark side.
Will the WWE Universe witness the destructive side of Priest, or will Crews overthrow The Archer of Infamy and become the new United States Champion? Tune in to Monday Night Raw tonight at 8/7 C on USA to find out!
RK-Bro battle The Dirty Dawgs in a Raw Tag Team Title Match
To say that RK-Bro have been operating as one these days would be an understatement.
Not only were the Raw Tag Team Champions in sync at Survivor Series when they defeated SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos, but last week, Riddle decided to take Randy Orton’s advice to the next level and literally embody The Viper for this matchup against Dolph Ziggler.
The Original Bro pulled off Orton’s entrance from the music to his ring walk and then went on to hit the RKO on The Showoff for the win. For his part, The Viper paid tribute right back by busting out a wicked Bro Derek on Robert Roode.
Not to be outdone, The Dirty Dawgs are now looking to come back stronger than ever in search of tag team gold and a bit of payback. Can the former Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champions conquer the dominant titleholders? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA.
