WWE Raw Results 3/18 - WrestleMania Six-Pack Challenge Qualifiers, Last Woman Standing Match

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on March 18, 2024, coming to you live from the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina!

The next three teams competing in the Six-Pack Ladder Match for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40 will be revealed, as Indus Sher takes on R-Truth and The Miz in a qualifier match while The Creed Brothers face #DIY, and New Day squares off with Alpha Academy's Otis and Akira Tozawa. The winners will join Legado Del Fantasma, New Catch Republic, and titleholders Judgment Day's Finn Balor and Damian Priest, with the former two teams qualifying for the match this past Friday on "WWE SmackDown".

Tensions between Becky Lynch and Nia Jax have been mounting over the past several weeks, culminating during last week's edition of "Raw" when Lynch defeated Liv Morgan in a singles match and Jax blindsided the pair with an attack backstage later on that night. Tonight, "The Man" and "The Irresistible Force" look to settle their issues once and for all as they collide in a Last Woman Standing Match.

GUNTHER found out who he would be defending his Intercontinental Championship against at WrestleMania when Sami Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura, Chad Gable, JD McDonagh, Ricochet, and Bronson Reed in a Number One Contenders Gauntlet Match last week. GUNTHER and Zayn will come face-to-face for the first time since as they put pen to paper to make the match official.

Additionally, per WWE's event page, Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins, and Cody Rhodes are all advertised to be in town.

We are live! Michael Cole and Pat McAfee greet audiences at home as Jey Uso makes his way down to the ring.

Jey welcomes fans to "Raw" and says he knows Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa are in the PNC Arena. He then calls them out to the ring.

Jimmy and Sikoa make their way to ringside through the crowd, and Jimmy gets in the ring. Jey says regardless of what happened between him and Jimmy, he misses him. He asks Jimmy to come back to his side, and Jimmy says he never left him. He says he protected Jey, and says it was his idea to leave The Bloodline. He says he helped Jey because he's his brother, but when he left, he became the biggest star on "Raw", the top merchandise seller, and an Undisputed Tag Team Champion without him. He says Jey forgot him, and says his biggest moment in his career is because of him.

Jey says the biggest moment in his career will be his dream match at WrestleMania 40 when he beats him down. Jey then attacks Jimmy and clocks Sikoa on the apron, but Jimmy manages to land a superkick on Jey. Sikoa then holds Jey in place as Jimmy berates him, but Cody Rhodes runs down to the ring to even the odds. He clocks Jimmy on the ramp and lands a Cody Cutter on Sikoa, then checks on Jey.

#DIY then makes their way down to the ring. 

Back from the break, we see Paul Heyman approach Adam Pearce backstage and explain that Jimmy and Sikoa's actions were done without the knowledge of Roman Reigns or The Rock. He assures Pearce that Jimmy and Sikoa have left the arena, and says he'll be gone as well once he handles his official business. 

Back at ringside, The Creed Brothers make their way out. 

Ciampa and Julius begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. They take turns locking one another in submission holds and pinning each other before Ciampa lands a chop on Julius. Julius responds by cinching in an Ankle Lock on Ciampa, but Ciampa makes his way over to the bottom rope to break the hold. Brutus and Gargano then tag in, and Gargano lands an assisted Sliced Bread on Brutus. The Creeds end up on the outside, and #DIY deliver crossbodies over the top rope to level them.

Back from the break, Ciampa lands a back elbow on Julius. Brutus tags in before he delivers a splash to both Ciampa and Gargano in the corner. He then pins both of them, but #DIY kicks out. Julius then tags in, and Brutus helps Julius land on top of Ciampa. Julius gets Ciampa into a delayed vertical suplex position, but Gargano gets in the ring. Brutus gets him up into a delayed vertical suplex position, and The Creeds plant #DIY. They then land simultaneous moonsaults on #DIY before Julius gets Ciampa in an Electric Chair position and Brutus ascends to the top. Gargano helps Ciampa out, and Brutus gets Gargano up on his shoulders. Julius rocks him with a knee to his head, and Brutus plants him. Brutus delivers a shoulder pounce to Ciampa on the outside that sends him crashing over the announce desk.

Back from another break, Ciampa lands a reverse DDT on Julius. Gargano tags in and levels an interfering Brutus, then delivers a jumping knee to Brutus and plants both Creed Brothers. Gargano then delivers a Spear to Julius from the apron through the middle rope, then sits him on the top turnbuckle and tags in Ciampa. Ciampa delivers a chop to Julius, then executes an Air Raid Crash on him from the middle rope.

Julius cinches in a second Ankle Lock on Ciampa, and Gargano tries to make the save. Julius releases the hold to deliver a powerbomb on Gargano, then locks it in once more on Ciampa as Brutus does the same to Gargano. Gargano and Ciampa escape, and lock in the Gargan-No Escape. The Creeds manage to escape and send #DIY crashing into one another. Julius then delivers a moonsault off the middle rope to Ciampa, and Brutus follows suit. Julius gets Ciampa in an Electric Chair position, and Brutus ascends to the top. He looks to land the Brutus Ball, but Ciampa escapes. Julius rolls up Ciampa, but with some assistance from Gargano in sending Brutus crashing to the outside, he manages to reverse the fall for the win.

Winners: #DIY

We then head backstage and see Judgment Day talking with Andrade El Idolo in their lounge about a potential future alliance.

Back from the break, Indi Hartwell, Candice LeRae, Kayden Carter, and Katana Chance are all waiting in the ring.

Carter and LeRae begin the action. The bell rings and Carter lands a dropkick. LeRae delivers a back elbow, then tags in Hartwell. Hartwell delivers a boot to Carter, then tags LeRae back in. LeRae fires off left and right hands on Carter, then looks to land a step-up senton. Carter avoids it and tags in Chance. Hartwell tags in and Chance dropkicks her into the corner. She fires off a few stomps, then plants her face first. Chance grabs her knee, and the referee checks on her. LeRae tags in and dropkicks Carter on the outside, then sends Chance's knee bouncing off the ring post. She then wrenches in a submission hold on Chance, and Chance immediately taps out as Hartwell watches on in disbelief.

We then head over to a video of what The Rock said (and sang) on "SmackDown" this past Friday.

Back from the break, Cody Rhodes makes his way down to the ring.

Rhodes says he will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania for a second year in a row, then says he and Reigns will have a conversation on Friday. He says there are complications and other factors in The Rock, and says he referred to himself as "our favorite heel" in an Instagram post. He says he's known some heels himself, then says he doesn't think The Rock is a heel because he's an a******. He says he doesn't want The Rock or the Seven Bucks Production team to be offended after taking a shot for him about crying in his interview with Michael Cole on Friday.

Rhodes then says The Rock has been crying backstage this whole time, and told the TKO board that it would be good PR for them. He says that the TKO board are yes people, but they won't tell it to The Rock like it is. He says he will for them, and says while The Rock is on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestlers, he's a terrible salesman. He says while The Rock has been otherwise convinced that he's not whiny, then says since The Rock wants to bring his mother into things, he'll do the same thing.

Rhodes tells The Rock he has nothing but respect for his mother and knows her well, then says The Rock doesn't know his mother and she's not afraid of him. He says he doesn't know if he'll be facing Roman Reigns in Bloodline Rules or if he can even finish the story, then says The Rock hasn't been in the ring in years. He questions if The Rock will be "The Great One" when the bell rings, and says The Rock has referred to himself as "The Final Boss". He says while that could be true, he doesn't think that nickname will hold up at WrestleMania. He then says he thinks The Rock will just be Reigns' side chick at WrestleMania.

Paul Heyman then appears at ringside and introduces himself, then tells Rhodes that the ideals they both share are greater than their conflicts. He says he came out to offer up an apology to Rhodes for coming to the ring with NYPD officers a few weeks ago, and admits it was a bad plan.

Rhodes offers for Heyman to step in the ring with him, but Heyman declines to do so. Heyman then says he has a message from Roman Reigns, and informs Rhodes that no other Bloodline members will be in sight when Rhodes meets with Reigns on Friday except for him and Reigns. He says that will only happen if Rhodes shows up alone as well, and Rhodes agrees. He then shakes Heyman's hand.

Ricochet then makes his way down to the ring. Dominik Mysterio follows. 

The bell rings and Ricochet cinches in a Waist Lock on Dominik. Dominik lands a back elbow on Ricochet, but Ricochet lands a series of strikes and follows it up with a springboard back elbow. He looks to fly to level Dominik on the outside, but McDonagh pushes Dominik out of the way. Ricochet then flies over the top to level Dominik and gets him back in the ring, but McDonagh grabs his ankle as he looks to follow him back inside. Dominik then takes advantage and dropkicks Ricochet out of the ring.

Back from the break, Ricochet looks to fly in the ring from the apron, but Dominik trips him and sends him crashing into the mat with a Facebuster. Dominik then looks to deliver The Three Amigos, but Ricochet counters the second German suplex into a Brainbuster and gets Dominik up on his shoulders before delivering a kick to him. Dominik looks to land a kick on Ricochet's midsection, but Ricochet catches it and lands a kick on Dominik's head. He looks to land a 450 Splash, but Dominik moves out of the way. McDonagh hops up on the apron, but Ricochet levels him with a kick. Dominik looks to take advantage and kicks Ricochet in the ropes, then dials it up for the 619. Ricochet ducks out of the way and lands the Recoil for the win.

Winner: Ricochet

After the match, McDonagh looks to attack Ricochet, but Ricochet escapes.

We then head backstage and see Chad Gable and Sami Zayn get into a verbal exchange, which ultimately ends in Gable telling Zayn he can't beat GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

Back from the break, Adam Pearce is waiting in the ring.

Pearce introduces Zayn and GUNTHER, and they both make their way down to the ring.

Pearce looks to get the contract signing underway, but GUNTHER interrupts him and questions why Zayn is wearing a t-shirt for the biggest contract signing in history. Zayn says GUNTHER's smug smile is bothering him, and gives props to GUNTHER for beating anyone who's challenged him for his title. Zayn says GUNTHER doesn't think he can beat him, but many have doubted him in his career and he's proved them wrong. He recalls dethroning The Usos as Undisputed Tag Team Champions last year with Kevin Owens, then says he will make history at WrestleMania again by ending the longest Intercontinental Championship reign of all time. He then signs the contract.

GUNTHER says no one, including Zayn, truly believes that he can dethrone him. He says all Zayn is doing is begging on his doorstep for a beating on "The Grandest Stage Of Them All", and tells Zayn to keep dreaming because his dreams will meet reality at WrestleMania. GUNTHER then signs the contract.

GUNTHER grabs his title and looks to head to the back, but Zayn stops him. He says he wants to make sure he heard GUNTHER right when he says he looked into his eyes and didn't believe in himself. Zayn tells GUNTHER to look again because GUNTHER is looking into the eyes of the man who will beat him at WrestleMania.

Awesome Truth then make their way down to the ring. Indus Sher follows.

Truth and Sanga begin the action. The bell rings and Truth immediately tags out to Miz. Miz fires off right hands on Sanga, but Sanga levels him with a back elbow. Mahaan tags in and lands an elbow drop, then wears Miz down with a hold. Truth tags in and delivers a pair of flying shoulder tackles to Mahaan. He then sends him crashing into the mat spine first and lands the Five Knuckle Shuffle, then locks in the STF. Sanga gets in the ring to break the hold, but Awesome Truth lands a double dropkick on him. The Miz lands an assisted Skull Crushing Finale on Mahaan with Truth, then levels Mahal with a dropkick through the ropes. Truth then pins Mahaan for the win as Miz holds off Sanga.

Winners: Awesome Truth

Back from the break, Drew McIntyre makes his way down to the ring. Seth "Freakin" Rollins' music cuts McIntyre's music off, and the World Heavyweight Champion makes his way out as well, passing McIntyre on the ramp.

Rollins welcomes fans to Monday Night Rollins, then says he didn't see McIntyre there as he was too busy soaking up the spotlight. McIntyre says he knows Rollins has more and tells him to get it out of his system now. He says he thinks McIntyre is stupid and a hypocrite, but he has to admit that something he said was correct: that he's a spotlight junkie. McIntyre tells Rollins that everything is a joke to him, and says the only thing he cares about is his WrestleMania match against Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. He says the punchline will be dethroning Rollins.

Rollins says this isn't a joke to him, and says him saying he's a spotlight junkie isn't a joke. He says he's been in the wrestling business for twenty years, and everytime he goes through the curtain is his fix. He says it gets better everytime he puts everything on the line whenever he enters the ring, and says he gets his fix from fans singing his song. Rollins says he will defeat The Rock and Roman Reigns at Night One of WrestleMania with Cody Rhodes, and the biggest spotlight will then be on him and McIntyre in their match at Night Two. McIntyre says Rollins has made the World Heavyweight Championship the workhorse title, and admits that he had him. He says Rollins lost him when he brought up the spotlight, then questions why their match can't just be about the title. He says all he cares is that Rollins makes it to the ring at Night Two of WrestleMania, then says he won't get the moment he deserves but rather the one he's earned.

Rollins says McIntyre is an addict like he is, and he wants the spotlight as much as he does. He says since McIntyre won in an empty arena at WrestleMania 37, he's been wanting his moment in front of fans. He says when the lights shine on him, he shines the brightest and McIntyre will find out he's not as good as he thinks he is.

New Day then makes their way down to the ring. Alpha Academy follows.

Otis and Woods begin the action. The bell rings and Otis levels Woods. Tozawa tags in and Woods lands a kick on his midsection. Kingston tags in and Tozawa lands a hurricanrana on him off the middle rope. He then levels both Woods and Kingston on the outside with a tope suicida.

Back from the break, Otis tags in and runs over both Woods and Kingston. He lands a slam on Kingston, then follows it up with The Caterpillar. He looks for a Vader Bomb, but Kingston avoids it. Tozawa becomes legal and delivers a crossbody to Kingston off the top, but Woods tags in and catches him with a Tornado DDT out of the corner. Woods then ascends to the top, but Tozawa meets him up there. Woods gets Tozawa up on his shoulders, but Tozawa counters into a hurricanrana and climbs back up to the top. He lands a senton and goes for a pin, but Kingston breaks the fall.

On the outside, Kingston delivers a Tornado DDT to Otis. Tozawa levels him when he hops up on the apron, but Woods catches him with a spinning sit-out powerbomb. He then ascends to the top and delivers an Elbow Drop for the win.

The bell rings and Lynch wastes no time. She lands a dropkick on Jax, then delivers a second one off the middle rope that sends Jax crashing to the outside. Lynch delivers a third one through the bottom rope, then lands a flying right hand on the outside. She looks to fly a second time, but Jax catches her and sends her crashing into the ring post and the barricade. The referee begins a ten count, but Lynch makes it to her feet in time. Jax then runs over Lynch, and the referee begins another count, but Lynch beats it once again.

Back from the break, Lynch is setting a table up on the outside. Jax dumps her back in the ring and tosses several chairs in along with her, then gets back in the ring. Lynch hits Jax with one of the chairs, then looks to land a Man Handle Slam on top of the rest of the pile. Jax blocks her and executes a Samoan Drop on her on top of the chairs. She then sets one of the chairs up before Lynch catches her in a Sleeper Hold and lands a bulldog to her on top of teh chair. The referee begins a ten count, but Jax makes it up to her feet and beats it. Lynch then ascends to the top, but Jax hits her with a chair mid-air. She then cracks it across Lynch several more times and grabs a couple of kendo sticks from under the ring.

Jax cracks one of the kendo sticks across Lynch's spine, then bodyslams her on top of the pile of chairs. She then connects with a leg drop, and the referee begins a ten count. Lynch makes it up to her feet in time, but Jax cracks a chair across her spine. She sets up the chair over Lynch and sits on her, but Lynch grabs one of the kendo sticks and hits her with it several times. The pair end up back on the outside, and Jax grabs one of the ring steps. She hits Lynch with it, then looks to land a leg drop on her on the apron. Lynch avoids it, then lands a DDT to Jax on top of one of the ring steps.

Lynch surprises Jax by spraying a fire extinguisher in her face, then charges at her. Jax catches her and delivers a Samoan Drop to her through a table set up in the corner. Jax then hits the An-Nia-Lator in the adjacent corner, and the referee begins a ten count. Lynch rolls out of the ring to make it to her feet.
