WWE Raw Results 9/25 - Undisputed Tag Team Title Match, North American Title Match And More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on September 25, 2023, coming to you live from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California!

The Undisputed Tag Team Championship will be on the line, as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have the opportunity to recapture the Undisputed Tag Team Championship from titleholders Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Owens and Zayn lost the title to the Judgment Day members at WWE Payback earlier this month in a Steel City Street Fight.

For the first time since successfully retaining against Sami Zayn on July 24, Dominik Mysterio will be defending his "NXT" North American Championship on "Raw" against Dragon Lee. Dominik has only defended his title on a main roster show on one other occasion, defeating Butch on the July 21 episode of "WWE SmackDown".

Speaking of Dominik, Cody Rhodes has something on his mind to share after picking up a win against him on last week's edition of "Raw". Later on that night, Rhodes tried to get the aforementioned Owens on board with the idea of Jey Uso being a member of the "Raw" roster, and saved the former Bloodline member after he was attacked by Judgment Day following his match with Drew McIntyre. Speaking of McIntyre, The Miz will be hosting him as his special guest on "MizTV" as the talk show makes its return.

Tensions between Shinsuke Nakamura and Seth "Freakin" Rollins have been boiling for several weeks now in light of their World Heavyweight Championship match at Payback. Things culminated last week when a frustrated Rollins challenged Nakamura to a rematch and tonight, Nakamura will be providing Rollins with an answer as to whether or not he will accept.

Additionally, Bronson Reed will be going one-on-one with Otis after picking up a win over Chad Gable last week.

We are live! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home as Cody Rhodes makes his way down to the ring.

Rhodes welcomes fans to "Raw", then says he has been interrupted two weeks in a row trying to get out what he needs to. He says Jey Uso coming to "Raw" means someone is heading to "SmackDown" and a disgruntled "Raw" locker room. He says while he isn't best friends with Jey, he wasn't going to stand by as Judgment Day attacked him because helping him was the right thing to do. He calls Judgment Day toxic before the group's music hits.

Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Dominik Mysterio make their way down to the ring, and Balor asks Rhodes why he has to stick his nose in Judgment Day business. Priest says they gave Jey the chance to join a real family, but he had to save the day because everything is always about him. Dominik looks to speak, but boos rain down on him from the crowd. Rhodes tells him that although he has a real family, they can't stand him. He asks Judgment Day what happens when Rhea Ripley returns and all three of them have lost their titles tonight. Dominik tells Rhodes to keep Ripley's name out of his mouth before hopping up on the apron with Priest and Balor. Jey appears to provide Rhodes with some backup, and Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are right on his heels. With the odds becoming 4 against 3, Judgment Day backs down and heads to the back. However, halfway up the ramp, JD McDonagh appears with two chairs in hand. He hands one to Balor and they head back into the ring along with Dominik. Priest tries stopping them, but they disregard them and a brawl ensues. Owens, Zayn, Rhodes, and Jey dump McDonagh, Balor, and Dominik out of the ring. They then all go after Priest, and Rhodes cracks one of the chairs across his spine.

Alpha Academy then makes their way down to the ring. Bronson Reed follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Reed looks for a shoulder tackle, but Otis stays on his feet and looks for one of his own. Reed stays standing before the pair attempt to level one another with clotheslines. After an unsuccessful first try, they both take one another down a second time. The action spills to the outside, and Otis clotheslines Reed. Reed then sends him crashing into the ring post and levels him with a clothesline of his own before getting him back inside the ring.

Reed gets Otis on his shoulders and plants him with a Samoan Drop. They then level one another with crossbodies, and Otis lands a back suplex. He follows it up with a splash in the corner and The Caterpillar, then ascends to the middle rope and looks for a Vader Bomb. Reed moves out of the way and delivers a running senton, then ascends to the top and delivers the Tsunami for the win.

Winner: Bronson Reed

We then see Becky Lynch shining up her "NXT" Women's Championship backstage. Tegan Nox walks in and Lynch says she expected her to answer her open challenge instead of Natalya. Nox says she thought she would let the veteran answer teh call, and after offering up some advice, Lynch offers her the next shot after Tiffany Stratton this weekend at "NXT" No Mercy.

Back from the break, Tommaso Ciampa heads down. 

Back from the break, we head backstage and see Tegan Nox and Natalya asking Adam Pearce for a shot at the "NXT" Women's Championship. Pearce makes a number one contenders match between them official.

Kaiser looks to get back in, but gets met with a series of chops. Ciampa then dumps him back inside and clotheslines him out of the ring on the other side. He sends him into the announce desk face first and tosses him over the ring steps, then delivers a DDT off the middle rope as a means of getting him back in the ring. Kaiser gets Ciampa up on his shoulders, but Ciampa escapes and delivers a Side Russian Leg Sweep. Vinci hops up on the apron, but Ciampa levels him with a knee. As the referee checks on him, Kaiser lands a kick and looks to pin Ciampa. The fall isn't counted, and a frustrated Kaiser kicks Vinci out of the ring. This opens the door for Ciampa to land a jumping knee strike on Kaiser for the win.

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa

After the match, Lynch and Nox stare one another down.

We then head backstage to Judgment Day and see Damain Priest chew out JD McDonagh for what happened earlier tonight. He makes it clear he isn't part of the group and kicks him out of their lounge.

Back at ringside, Seth "Freakin" Rollins makes his way down.

Rollins welcomes fans to Monday Night Rollins, then tells the crowd that if they're as sick and tired of Shinsuke Nakamura as he is, then they should sing his song. He tells them to do the same if they think it's time for him to defend his World Heavyweight Championship, then calls out Shinsuke Nakamura unless he wants him to move on to another challenger.

Nakamura appears on the Titan Tron and says Rollins has many demands. He says he wants nothing more than to be the straw that breaks Rollins' back, then says while his stamina is admirable, he has no patience. He says Rollins showed his hand while he has yet to show his, then formally accepts Rollins' challenge. He calls his shot for the World Heavyweight Championship at Fastlane in a Last Man Standing Match. Rollins takes a minute to think it over and admits that Nakamura played his hand perfectly. He says Nakamura is forgetting one thing, and that is that his back is not a weakness but rather a strength. He says his family will only be ashamed of him if he doesn't give it his all, then accepts his stipulation and says one of them will walk out as champion, adding that will be him.

Back from the break, Dragon Lee heads down to the ring. Dominik Mysterio follows.

The bell rings and Dominik delivers a kick to Lee's midsection, but Lee fires back with a shoulder tackle and a hurricanrana that sends Dominik out of the ring. He then goes flying over the top rope to level him, then tosses him back inside and goes for a pin. Dominik kicks out and cinches in a Half Boston Crab. Lee makes it under the bottom rope to break the hold before Dominik delivers a DDT to Lee on the apron.

Back from the break, Dominik ascends to the top and looks for a Frog Splash. Lee gets his knees up and fires off right hands, then lands a pair of back elbows and a kick to Dominik's midsection.

Back from the break, Michael Cole introduces Nia Jax and she makes her way down to the ring.

Cole asks Jax why she's targeted the entire women's division, and Jax says she wasn't paying attention to him. She says she's Nia Jax, then calls herself the baddest human in all of WWE. She says everyone thought that title would go to Rhea Ripley, but she squashed her. She says the same thing applies to Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, Raquel Rodriguez, Chelsea Green, and Piper Niven, and she squashed all of them.

Zoey Stark's music hits, and she gets in Jax's face. She says Jax squashed her, but she did it while her back was turned. She dares her to do something while she's face-to-face with her, and the pair begin brawling.

The bell rings and Stark delivers a dropkick. She looks for a springboard crossbody, but Jax flattens her and follows it up with an elbow drop.

Winner: Nia Jax

The Miz then makes his way down to the ring.

Miz welcomes fans to "MizTV", then introduces Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre makes his way down to the ring, and Miz tells him that he can speak freely. McIntyre asks Miz if he has any questions, and Miz applauds McIntyre for standing idly by as Jey Uso was being attacked by Judgment Day last week. McIntyre says he is nothing like Miz, and Miz says what he did was in his image. He then says McIntyre was unbeatable until he wasn't, and given his history, it makes sense he doesn't trust Jey. McIntyre says karma is a b****, and Miz says McIntyre is the Batman of WWE. He says Cody Rhodes is the Superman, then asks how it felt to be beat by him last week.

New Day's music hits. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods appear, and Kingston says McIntyre is not a coward like he showed them last week. Woods echoes the same sentiment. Miz cuts them off and says they were having a conversation before McIntyre then interrupts him and says no one did anything until Rhodes helped Jey last week. Kingston says McIntyre should've helped Jey out, and McIntyre reminds them of all their losses at the hands of The Bloodline. The pair continue arguing with one another until Miz puts his hand up. McIntyre once again tells Miz to shut up, and Miz puts his hand back up. McIntyre then headbutts him and says the time for talking is over. He tells Kingston to get in the ring.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Kingston fires off chops, but McIntyre levels him with a massive one of his own. He delivers a second one, then lands a right hand. Kingston fires back with a running forearm and looks for a splash, but McIntyre catches him and lands a vertical suplex. He follows it up with a shoulder tackle and kicks McIntyre over the top rope before ascending up there and going flying to level him on the outside. Woods hoists Kingston up on his shoulders to celebrate before Kingston goes flying off the apron. He gets McIntyre back in the ring, then climbs back up to the top and delivers a crossbody.

Back from the break, McIntyre delivers a pair of belly-to-belly suplexes. He follows it up with a neckbreaker and kips up before looking for a DDT. Kingston counters into a pinfall attempt, but McIntyre kicks out and Kingston hits a Famouser. He then delivers The Boom Drop and looks for Trouble In Paradise, but McIntyre evades the maneuver and delivers the Future Shock DDT. He then lands a vicious chop and the action spills to the outside. Kingston delivers a tope suicida, but McIntyre catches him with a vicious right hand and sends Kingston crashing into the ring apron face first. He gets him back inside the ring and looks for a Claymore Kick, but Kingston ducks out of the way and lands an SOS. He goes for a pin, but McIntyre kicks out.

Ivar sends Woods crashing into the barricade after appearing at ringside alongside Valhalla. He then sandwiches him between himself and the barricade. McIntyre takes advantage of a distracted Kingston and connects with a Claymore Kick for the win.

Winner: Drew McIntyre

After the match, McIntyre leaves Kingston for Ivar and Valhalla in the ring. Ivar fires off back elbows on Kingston as McIntyre saunters to the back, then ascends to the top and lands a moonsault.

We then head backstage and see GUNTHER chewing out Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. GUNTHER tells Kaiser that Vinci is now his responsibility, and if he messes up, then not only will Vinci be held accountable but so will Kaiser.

Back from the break, Judgment Day makes their way down to the ring. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn follow.

The bell rings and the four men waste no time going after one another. Owens goes after Priest on the outside as Zayn brawls with Balor in the ring.

He then delivers a second right hand to Balor's midsection, but Balor fires back with a double stomp to his chest and tags in Priest.

Owens delivers a DDT and tags in Zayn. Zayn delivers a clothesline and rains down right hands on Priest in the corner before following it up with a dropkick and sending an interfering Balor out of the ring. He does the same to Priest and goes flying over the top to level them.

Back from another break, Zayn delivers a Tornado DDT to Priest and tags in Owens. Balor tags in on his side, and Owens fires off right hands on his head. He follows it up with a series of stomps and a clothesline on the outside before landing a cannonball to Balor back inside the ring. He ascends to the top and delivers a Frog Splash. Owens delivers a step-up enzuigiri, but Balor (now legal) sits him on the top turnbuckle. Owens gets Balor on his shoulders and executes a rolling senton. Balor responds with a Coup De Grace and goes for a pin, but Zayn breaks the fall. Priest dumps him out of the ring before becoming legal and looks for South of Heaven. Owens escapes and tags in Zayn, who delivers an Exploder to Priest. He looks to follow it up with the Helluva Kick, but Dominik Mysterio hops up on the apron.

Priest follows it up with an elevated flatliner and goes for a pin, but Zayn kicks out.

Dominik begins arguing with the referee, but Jey Uso appears at ringside to take him out. JD McDonagh then blindsides Jey and works with Dominik to attack him, but Cody Rhodes runs down to even the odds as officials run down to break up the action on the outside. Back in the ring, Owens lands a Stunner on Balor and the pair go tumbling out of the ring. Zayn delivers a Helluva Kick to Priest, but McDonagh hits Zayn with one of the tag team titles. Priest then pins him for the win.
