Raw results: August 30, 2021

Rhea Ripley def. Shaina Basler

Nikki Ash and Nia Jax were in the corners of their friends in this match when Almost a Superhero rooted for Rhea Ripley and Force Majeure accompanied Basler into the ring. The Queen of Spades controlled the former Raw Women’s Champion for most of the match, and after being distracted by Jax attacking ASH from the outside, Basler nearly earned herself a knurling benefit. The nightmare, however, was able to turn everything back and win.

The celebration was short-lived as Jax turned her attention to unfolding Ripley after a massive Samoan fall.

Viking raiders def. Ginder Mahal and Vir

Eric and Ivar were eager to resume the raid, and they did so in a group action against Jinder Mahal and one of his associates, Vir. Having Shenka in their corner could not help get the job done for the modern Maharaja and his partner, as The Viking Raiders secured the victory after hitting the Mahal with the Viking Experience.

US Champion Damian Priest def. Drew McIntyre and Sheemus in a triple threat match

An extremely tough matchup unfolded as Damian Priest defends his US championship against Drew McIntyre and Shamus in a Triple Threat Match. All three put it all on the line, culminating in The Bowman of Dishonor, who scored an impressive victory after pairing up with Reckoning with McIntyre, beating the former WWE champion and retaining his US title.

Doodrop deprived Eva Marie of the opportunity to compete

Before this battle of fierce rivals could officially begin, Eva Marie briefly turned her back on Doodrop, forcing the vengeful Doodrop to attack Eva-Lucia’s catalyst.

Doudrop used bodyslam, senton and even a large crossbody, as a result of which the referee decided that Eva Marie would not be able to participate in the match.

Carrion Cross def. Umberto Carrillo

Carrion Cross was to collect another tribute, this time in the form of the young upstart Umberto Carrillo. Carrillo gave his best, but in the end it was Cross who took another victory on Raw thanks to his patented Kross Jacket submission.

Nia Jax def. Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Fleur

Nia Jax tried to take full advantage of her chance – or “Opportunity” – against Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. It was a fierce battle in which, in the end, The Irresistible Force defeated the Queen after pairing up with the evil Powerbomb in the all-important Championship Challenger Match.

Omos def. John Morrison

After Meese escaped to avoid meeting him this week, John Morrison did the next most logical thing and requested a match against the colossal Omos. Things didn’t end well for America’s Moist Wanted, as Omos was able to score a quick victory, knocking Morrison down with a powerful two-handed choxlam.

AJ Styles def. Xavier Woods

Eager to pick up where his tag teammate left off, A.J. Styles pitted against The New Day’s Xavier Woods, but it wasn’t nearly as smooth for The Phemomenal One. Woods put in a tremendous amount of effort, but Styles ultimately prevailed, trapping Calf Crusher for a submission win.

Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro def. WWE Champion Bobby Lashley & MVP

AJ Styles and Omos were in the ring at this massive Raw Main Event. Randy Orton and Riddle had to do their best to take on the former Raw Tag Team champions in the ring, and they were able to hold them back just enough for Riddle to pair up with the Floating Bros to become MVP and keep the championship gold for the ROK. -Bro.

After winning, WWE champion Bobby Lashley tried to defeat The Original Bro, but Orton swooped in to deliver The All Mighty a huge RKO for his troubles.
