WWE Raw Results 11/6 - Two Number One Contenders Matches, Judgment Day Vs. New Day And More
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on November 6, 2023, coming to you live from the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania!
After successfully defending her Women's World Championship against Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, Raquel Rodriguez, and Nia Jax at WWE Crown Jewel this past Saturday, Rhea Ripley's next challenger will be determined in a Number One Contenders Battle Royal.
Ripley won't be the only one who will find out the next challenger for their title tonight, as Bronson Reed, Ricochet, Ivar, and The Miz collide in a Fatal-Four Way match to earn a shot at GUNTHER's Intercontinental Championship. Reed and Ricochet have both previously come up short against "The Ring General" in title matches while Ivar has never faced him in a match before and The Miz has had several reigns with the championship.
New Day's Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston defeated Alpha Academy on the October 23 episode of "Raw" during their last televised match, and tonight, they will be returning to tag team competition as they square off with two members of Judgment Day. The two teams found themselves involved in a backstage encounter during last week's episode of "Raw".
Speaking of Alpha Academy, the newest member of the stable, Akira Tozawa, will be going one-on-one with Shinsuke Nakamura ahead of his "NXT" Heritage Cup match with Noam Dar tomorrow.
The aforementioned Ripley and GUNTHER are also advertised to be in town per WWE's event page, as is World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Cody Rhodes.
We are live! The show kicks off with a video showcasing some highlights from Crown Jewel.
Michael Cole and Wade Barrett then greet audiences at home as Seth "Freakin" Rollins makes his way down to the ring.
We Hear From Seth Rollins
Rollins welcomes fans to Monday Night Rollins, then introduces himself and adds that he is still the World Heavyweight Champion. He says normally he would come out to the ring to talk about himself, but he wants to talk about two other people tonight. He thanks Drew McIntyre for pushing him to his limits at Crown Jewel, and gives credit to Judgment Day for not getting involved in their match with the exception of Damian Priest attempting to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase. He then calls Sami Zayn out to the ring, and Zayn makes his way down.
Rollins tells Zayn he expected him to show up with the Money In The Bank briefcase, and asks him if Adam Pearce forced him to return it to Priest. Zayn confirms such was the case, and Rollins says given that he was in bad shape after his match, he might not have been able to fend him off. He thanks Zayn for what he did, and Zayn says he didn't do it for Rollins but because of the fact he's been at odds for months with them. He points out the ramifications of Priest winning the World Heavyweight Championship and Judgment Day running the show, and Rollins says he's always admired that Zayn stands up for what he thinks is right. He says Judgment Day doesn't run "Raw" because he does, and the Money In The Bank briefcase isn't the only way to get a shot at his title. He informs Zayn that he got him just that, and all Zayn has to do is name the time and place. Zayn says he's caught a little bit off guard, then says he will be world champion but only when Rollins is at 100%. Rollins says that guys like them are never at 100%, but they still keep pushing and tells him there's a World Heavyweight Championship match with his name on it at any time of his choosing. Zayn says there's no better time than tonight and offers his hand to Rollins. Rollins shakes it and heads to the back.
We then head backstage to Judgment Day's locker room and see an enraged Damian Priest walk in after retrieving his Money In The Bank briefcase from Adam Pearce. He takes note of JD McDonagh wearing one of his shirts, then tells Finn Balor that they'll make things right with Judgment Day.
