WWE Raw Results—Monday, September 14, 2020

Opening Segment Featuring Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee

Drew McIntyre challenged Randy Orton to an Ambulance Match which just makes me think this will be an excuse for WWE to beat him.

WWE typically shies away from babyface vs. babyface matches, but Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee are set to do battle when nobody asked for it.

The Adam Pearce renaissance is very real.

The Street Profits def. Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro

This pandemic, Dolph Ziggler has been on Raw, SmackDown Raw Underground and on commentary.

Based on how foolishly Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro were booked this past Friday on SmackDown, I was certain they were going to win.

Cedric Alexander Speaks on Joining The Hurt Business

Cedric Alexander getting an entire segment to cut a heel promo is the most storyline development this entire feud has received in months.

Given how fast RETRIBUTION keeps growing, it might end up being a bunch of jackrabbits under those masks.

Asuka def. Mickie James—WWE Raw Women’s Championship

Mickie James put so much pressure on herself to win this match that there’s no way she’s not turning heel i she loses.

Mickie James looked mystified when the referee called for the bell and it did not appear to be part of the storyline.

Zelina Vega is apparently done being a manager and would now like to step out as a singles competitor which will be bad news for everybody affected, including Angel Garza and Andrade.

Bobby Lashley def. Erik

MVP effectively put over both Erik and Lashley during a match that everybody knew Lashley was going to win.

The Hurt Business is quietly becoming the top stable on Raw now that Bayley and Sasha Banks are done.

WWE’s rotating panel of Superstar guests on commentary worked seamlessly on the back of strong contributions from Dolph Ziggler and MVP

Seth Rollins def. Dominik Mysterio—Steel Cage Match

WWE appeared to be strategically stalling until the first Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants ended. This included a bizarre in-broadcast Kit Kat commercial featuring R-Truth and Liv Morgan.

Seth Rollins is so good at being mean to Murphy.

Rey Mysterio’s reaction to Seth Rollins delivering the Curb Stomp was the same as that of a Browns fan watching football yesterday.

WWE teased a potential romance between Rey Mysterio’s daughter and Murphy, which, given the Mysterio Midas Touch, is the love story that will turn Murphy’s career around.

Braun Strowman Destroys Riddick Moss and Dolph Ziggler—WWE Raw Underground

Raw Underground feels like exactly what Braun Strowman needs right during yet another career funk.

There don’t seem to be any rules against SmackDown Superstars going to Raw Underground so maybe this could be a way for Otis to visit Mandy.

Maybe it’s because I’m a Shane McMahon truther, but boy have I grown to loveRaw Underground. It’s becoming such a good platform to showcase people who WWE isn’t doing anything with. I hope it never goes away.

Kevin Owens def. Aleister Black

Kevin Owens has had terrible luck during his entrances as of late.

A hobbled Kevin Owens winning this match—Aleister Black’s first as a heel—was such a bad decision.

The Riott Squad def. Lana and Natalya

Miro pulled up on AEW, and five days later his wife is flirting with Angel Garza on WWE TV and getting fed to the top two tag teams in the women’s division. This hardly seems like a coincidence.

RETRIBUTION Crashes Keith Lee vs. Drew McIntyre

WWE once again changed Keith Lee’s gear, which is pretty much starting to turn into his gimmick on the main roster.

If Keith Lee wasn’t going to be revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION, then I guess RETRIBUTION laying out both Lee and McIntyre is a solid alternative.

I was shocked to see The Hurt Business actually engage in combat with the countless members of RETRIBUTION. It had a real “NWO vs. WCW heels” feel to it.
