WWE Raw Results 6/19 - Logan Paul Returns, Money In The Bank Qualifier

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "WWE Raw" on June 19, 2023, coming to you live from the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio!

Logan Paul will be making his highly anticipated return to WWE programming tonight. "The Social Media Megastar" last competed in the ring at Night One of WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles, California, ultimately falling short to reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

Natalya came up short against WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley at Night of Champions last month, and has been doing a lot of self-reflection since. Tonight, she has an opportunity to redeem herself as the duo go one-on-one in a non-title match.

Elsewhere in the women's division, another entrant in the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder match will be determined as WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus squares off with former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Raquel Rodriguez. The winner will join Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, IYO SKY, Zelina Vega, and either Bayley or Shotzi at The O2 Arena in London, England on July 1.

Despite losing to Damian Priest in a Money In The Bank Qualifier match last Monday, Matt Riddle looks to pick up a win tonight as he takes on Ludwig Kaiser. Kaiser and his Imperium teammates GUNTHER and Giovanni Vinci have taken issue with Riddle over the past few weeks, with the two parties encountering and blindsiding one another on a number of occasions.

Additionally, Shinsuke Nakamura will face Bronson Reed as the two look to settle their score.

We are live! Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick greet audiences at home as Seth "Freakin" Rollins makes his way down to the ring for his open challenge.

He tosses him into the ring post, then rains down right hands and fires off several stomps. Adam Pearce and other officials run down to check on Rollins and pull him off Rollins, but Balor escapes their grasp and hits the Coup De Grace off the ring steps. He delivers a second one off the announce desk before landing another one off the ring steps.

Back from the break, we see Rollins and Pearce walking around backstage. Balor blindsides him once again and throws a table on top of him, then sends him crashing into a road case and stomps on his neck. He tells Rollins he's been waiting seven years to get his hands on him and it's his time now. He finally backs down, and Pearce and other officials check on Rollins.

Back at ringside, The Miz is in the ring. He says Rollins offered up an open challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship that he was going to accept, but that can no longer happen as a result of what just happened. He issued his own open challenge, and Tommaso Ciampa answers the call in his return to WWE!

Ciampa clocks Miz before the bell rings and he fires off stomps in the corner. The action spills to the outside, and Ciampa sends Miz face first into the announce desk. He tosses him back inside the ring and delivers a pair of splashes in the corner, then delivers a leaping clothesline. Miz responds with a DDT and goes for a pin, but Ciampa kicks out. Ciampa then delivers a pair of chops before Miz lands a boot and a few kicks on Ciampa's midsection. He whips Ciampa into the corner and ascends to the top, but Ciampa catches him with a running knee and Fairy Tale Ending for the win.

Judgment Day then heads down to the ring.

Finn Balor calls out Seth "Freakin" Rollins and says his open challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship was canceled because of him. He says he's the only one who will dethrone him as titleholder and says fans will be singing Rollins' song at his funeral. Rhea Ripley says the WWE Universe will be bowing to them after Balor wins the World Heavyweight title. She says she has the women's division on lockdown, Damian Priest will become the Money In The Bank briefcase holder, and Dominik Mysterio will defeat Cody Rhodes. Priest reiterates Ripkey's point and says the Money In The Bank contract will have his name on it.
