Drew runs down there and beats Jey's ass, too. He pulls down his white trunks Oh, okay.

Both shows being dominated by one of the Usos and Judgment Day bullshit is sure... a decision right now

And so Cody comes for the save, trying to recruit him for the Nightmare Family. "WHO TOLD YOU IT WAS OPEN MIC NIGHT, UCE??"

Here are my Raw Thoughts & Facts & Stats:
Damn, poor Cody Rhodes can't get any words in lately about Jey Uso. Poor Dominink Mysterio. He's getting booed out of the building & no Mami tonight. Awesome Dragon Lee VS Dominik Mysterio for the North American Championship on Raw next week. Damn, Cody Rhodes VS Dominik Mysterio was a short match. What's with all of these short matches lately? Another face off with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, & Cody Rhodes VS The Judgement Day And now we're going to get another 6-Man. FACT: This was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after MITB on 7/1/23, which was won by Rhodes. Rhodes has now wrestled both Rey & Dominik on both Raw & PPV (Wrestled Rey at WM 27 & Extreme Rules in 2011 & on Raw on 9/10/12) making him & Seth Rollins the only wrestlers to wrestle both Mysterios on PPV & Raw in 1-on-1 Matches. This is Dominik Mysterio's 1st 1-on-1 Match on Raw since he defeated Sami Zayn on 7/24/23 & was Cody Rhodes' 1st 1-on-1 Match on Raw since he defeated Finn Balor on 8/14. Nevermind, we're not getting a 6-Man. I missed what Kevin Owens said earlier. Very interesting conversation with Owens, Zayn, & Rhodes about Jey Uso. OK recap on Rhea Ripley & Nia Jax. Yeah, I was looking forward to the 2 Out of 3 Falls Match with The New Day & The Viking Raiders. Good thing I didn't do my facts ahead of time for it. For the record, there have been 4th 2-on-2 Matches between The New Day & The Viking Raiders after Smackdown on 7/29/22 & 8/26/22 (both won by VR) & Raw on 8/7 (won by ND) & 8/28 (won by VR) so The New Day won 1 & Viking Raiders won 3. Kofi Kingston VS Ivar was an awesome match. I can't believe that Ivar did a moonsault. I never knew how good of a singles wrestler Ivar can be. FACT: This was Kofi Kingston's 1st 1-on-1 Match since he defeated LA Knight on Smackdown on 2/24 & 1st on Raw since he lost to Jinder Mahal on 10/11/21. This was Ivar's 1st 1-on-1 Match since he lost to Ricochet on Smackdown on 4/7/23 & 1st on Raw since he defeated AJ Styles on 7/6/21. Good promo by Ricochet. Love Seth Rollins coming out to attack Shinsuke Nakamura & the officials holding Seth back. Damn it, Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura was an excellent match only for it to be ruined by a stupid DQ. I get why they did, but I still didn't like it. I like what happened afterwards with Ricochet getting laid out & then Nakamura taking out Seth Rollins too. I laughed at Nakamura with the Rollins head. FACT: This was the 4th 1-on-1 Match between them after Raw on June 5 (ended in a No Contest) & Raw on June 26 (won by Ricochet), & Raw on September 4 (won by Ricochet by DQ) so Ricochet has won 2, Nakamura won 1, & 1 match ended in a No Contest. This is the 3rd match to take place 4 times in 2023 after Kevin Owens VS Solo Sikoa (1/27/23 SD, 3/6/23 RAW, 3/13/23 RAW, 4/10/23 RAW) & Shinsuke Nakamura VS Bronson Reed (4) (5/29/23 RAW, 6/19/23 RAW, 7/17/23 RAW, 8/7/23 RAW). I like Seth Rollins refusing help in the back. Hilarious promo by Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark VS Chelsea Green & Piper Niven was a decent match until Nia Jax ruined it, so we got both a DQ & NC tonight. But I did like the continuity of Jax going after Baszler since it was Baszler who "took Jax out" when she was released. FACT: This was Zoey Stark's 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match on Raw & her 1st overall since she & Nikkita Lyons lost to Kayden Carter & Katana Chance on NXT on 11/8/22 & Baszler's 1st 2-on-2 Tag since she & Ronda Rousey lost to Morgan & Rodriguez at MITB on 7/1, ending her streak of 6 straight singles matches. This will be Piper Niven's 1st Raw since she & Green defeated Kayden Carter & Katana Chance on 8/21. Fun promo with Chad Gable & Bronson Reed to set-up their match. I'm still shocked about The Rock's appearance on Smackdown. Chad Gable VS Bronson Reed was a great match with an unexpected finish. I hope this will lead to Reed VS GUNTHER. That will be a hell of a match. FACT: This was Chad Gable's 8th consecutive week in a row on Raw, which is the most consecutive weeks in a row on Raw in his Career. This was the 2nd 1-on-2 Match between them after Raw on 2/20, which was also won by Reed. Good promo by Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa's another formidable challenger for GUNTHER's Intercontinental Title. Love the random Akira Tozawa appearance with Becky Lynch. More intriguing stuff with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, & Jey Uso. OK promo by Becky Lynch. I like Natalya being the one to accept her challenge. Becky Lynch VS Natalya was short but still a good match. FACT: This will be the 1st NXT Women's Championship Match on the main roster since Charlotte Flair VS Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36 on 4/5/20 & the 1st ever on Raw. This was Becky Lynch's 1st Womenβs Championship Defense, so if she would have lost, she would have been the 1st since Kairi Sane who lost to Shayna Baszler at Evolution on October 28, 2018 to lose in her 1st Defense. Her Reign has lasted 6 Days, which is the Shortest Reign of All-Time. This was Natalya's 1st NXT Women's Championship Match since she lost to Charlotte Flair for the Vacant Title at Takeover on 5/29/14. If Natalya would have won, she would have been the 8th 1st-time Women's Champion in a row & the 7th & 2nd in a row to be a former WWE Women's Tag Team & Smackdown Women's Champion. This was the 9th 1-on-1 Match between them after 2/25/16 Smackdown (won by Natalya by DQ), 7/24/16 Battleground (won by Natalya), 7/26/16, 11/22/16, 3/14/17 SD (won by Lynch), 5/9/17 & 8/15/17 SD (won by Natalya), & 8/11/19 SummerSlam (won by Lynch) so Lynch won 5 & Natalya won 4. Tommaso Ciampa VS Giovanni Vinci was another short but fun match. FACT: This was Vinci's 3rd Singles Match of 2023, after he lost to Matt Riddle on 7/3 & Chad Gable on 8/14. He has now wrestled both members of DIY as he defeated Johnny Gargano on NXT on 11/1/17. Ciampa has now wrestled all 3 members of Imperium, as he defeated Ludwig Kaiser (as Marcel Barthel) in NXT on 3/17/21 & he lost to GUNTHER (as WALTER) at Takeover: Stand & Deliver on 4/7/21. Awesome angry promo by Seth Rollins. I'm interested in seeing what they have planned for his next match with Shinsuke Nakamura. Good recap of Jey Uso's History with Drew McIntyre. Next week's Raw looks good with a Tag Team Championship Match between Owens & Zayn & The Judgement Day, a North American Championship Match between Lee & Mysterio, Otis VS Reed, & Nakamura's response to Rollins. Drew McIntyre VS Jey Usos was a great match. I loved the finish, but Jey should have grabbed Drew's sword when he was facing off with Damian Priest. I like Drew not helping Jey, but Cody Rhodes making the save. I thought we would get a Dashing Ones Reunion. FACT: This was Jey Uso's 1st 1-on-1 Match on Raw since he lost to Kevin Owens on 11/28/22. This was the 1st time since he defeated AJ Styles by DQ & lost to Matt Riddle on 6/14 & 6/21/21 that Drew McIntyre wrestled 2 Singles Matches in a row on Raw. This was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after Smackdown on 11/13/20, which was also won by McIntyre.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings: 1) Drew McIntyre VS Jey Uso 2) Kofi Kingston VS Ivar 3) Tommaso Ciampa VS Giovanni Vinci 4) Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura 5) Chad Gable VS Bronson Reed 6) Becky Lynch VS Natalya 7) Cody Rhodes VS Dominik Mysterio 8 ) Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark VS Chelsea Green & Piper Niven
Overall another really great Raw. I liked most of the matches. Some of the finishes were silly but made sense. There was a lot of interesting developments as we build towards Fastlane.
