On October 30, 2023, WWE Raw featured a flurry of adrenaline-packed scenes, dramatic confrontations, and shocking revelations. The night was full of exciting events that left the WWE Universe buzzing, from unexpected alliances to fierce rivalries. Lovell Porter provides you with all the highlights and takeaways from this remarkable Monday Night Raw edition.

Judgement Day’s Bold Declaration:

The Judgement Day faction, which included Rhea Ripley, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh, made a bold pronouncement at the beginning of the event. Taking the microphone, Ripley declared that they owned Raw and that they had defeated every celebrity who stood in their way. She brought up the terrible attack that Damian Priest had on Cody Rhodes, cautioning that it was only the beginning. While JD McDonagh promised to show Seth Rollins what it means to be on their bad side, Dominik Mysterio promised to defeat Ricochet. Rollins and Drew McIntyre were forced to choose between joining Judgement Day and facing serious repercussions at Crown Jewel.

Sami Zayn’s Defiant Challenge:

Sami Zayn interjected, stating that he was tired of hearing Ripley lecture, as she went on to criticize her opponents. Zayn said that as long as he was able to breathe, he would stand against The Judgement Day and challenge them. In response, Ripley laughed off his challenge, saying they didn’t need numbers to deal with Zayn. Boldly, Ripley suggested that Sami Zayn and Damian Priest square off against one another for the evening.

An Action-Packed Clash: “Dirty” Dominik vs. Ricochet

“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Ricochet engaged in a high-stakes contest to start the evening’s proceedings. Ricochet fought back with a spectacular suplex combination and a backflip kick as Dominik displayed his anger. Ricochet avoided Dominik’s 619 attempt as he retaliated. Ricochet then unleashed a stunning display of manoeuvres, such as a lionsault and springboard crossbody, but Dominik resolutely kicked out.

Surprisingly, Dominik gained the upper hand due to the influence of JD McDonagh and Rhea Ripley. Dominik secured a contentious victory by distracting Ricochet with a fistful of tights and his feet on the ropes. Following the bout, Ricochet used a superkick and a recoil in an attempt to exact revenge.

The Alpha Academy vs. The Creed Brothers:

The exciting tag battle that followed pitted The Alpha Academy against The Creed Brothers. Gable and Julius traded takedowns and suplexes during the contest, which was a dramatic demonstration of strength and technical skill. Gable added elegance with a diving clothesline, while Otis demonstrated his strength with a double clothesline. The teams traded violent stunts and near-falls during the nonstop action.

In the end, The Creed Brothers prevailed thanks to an amazing series of manoeuvres that included a 450 splash off the top. Following the game, both sides showed excellent sportsmanship by shaking hands in a respectful manner.

Damian Priest confronted Rhea Ripley behind the scenes for choosing to schedule a match for him without getting his approval. By casting Priest as The Judgement Day’s enforcer, prepared to take on anybody who defied them, Ripley justified her actions.

Miz TV’s Unexpected Guest: Gunther

Unexpectedly, Gunther was invited by Miz to appear on Miz TV. Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, Gunther’s delegates, made an appearance in their place. Miz got rough treatment, calling him a clown and a sidekick by Kaiser and Vinci, who showed no mercy. Miz responded with a swagger, highlighting his successes, especially the attention he received at the Intercontinental Title. As Vinci and Kaiser destroyed the Miz TV set, however, things took a literal turn.

Declaring that he doesn’t respect Miz, Gunther himself invaded the scene. Pointing out that he was the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, he mocked Miz’s talk show segment. Panic ensued as the altercation intensified. More uncertainty was introduced when Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, and DIY entered the scene.

DIY vs. Imperium: A Fast-Paced Contest

A fast-moving tag battle pitted DIY, Johnny Gargano, and Tommaso Ciampa against Imperium. At first, Vinci and Kaiser had the upper hand over Gargano, but Ciampa and Gargano soon reversed that. Using a Meet in the Middle double-team manoeuvre, #DIY won the exciting competition and demonstrated their tag team expertise and teamwork.

Xi Li’s Dominant Performance:

Candice LeRae defeated Xi Li in a short yet impressive match. Li attacked LeRae viciously from the opening bell, and after a nasty spin kick, the contest was over. Xi Li was declared the winner after the referee was forced to sound the bell.

Seth Rollins’ In-Ring Return:

In his ring comeback, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins faced JD McDonagh. McDonagh showed his aggression by attacking Rollins prior to the match’s official start. The bout officially started when Rollins responded to the challenge with a strong clothesline. Rollins demonstrated his authority by slamming McDonagh around ringside with unrelenting intensity. McDonagh demonstrated his tenacity with a corkscrew splash and a barrage of blows, but Rollins ultimately prevailed with a stump and a pedigree to seal the victory.

An Explosive Trick or Street Fight: Chelsea Green vs. Natalya

Chelsea Green and Natalya engaged in a violent contest in a Trick or Street Fight with a Halloween theme. Green and Piper Niven had a fun, crazy bout while disguised as the Hart Foundation. Pie smashes and garbage can lid shots were among the events of the contest. One memorable incident was when Green attempted to submerge Natalya in an apple-picking bucket. After an unusual turn of events involving Nikki Cross’s head poking through a table, Green ultimately won with an unprettier.

Damian Priest vs. Sami Zayn: A Controversial Ending

The main event of the evening was Damian Priest vs. Sami Zayn. Zayn delivered a barrage of blows and a tornado DDT during the hard-hitting match. Priest demonstrated his strength with some stunning moves, including a chokeslam. But Jey Uso’s intervention resulted in a disqualification, bringing the contest to a contentious conclusion.

Following that, Damian Priest was attacked by Cody Rhodes, who unexpectedly returned to WWE, setting up a match at Crown Jewel. Rhodes made it quite evident that he was back on the right track and that Priest stood in his way.
