WWE RAW Results – July 18, 2022
Your announcers are Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.
Titus O’Neil is in the ring.
Titus says when he came to WWE and became a tag team champion and entered the Hall of Fame as a Warrior Award Recipient, I thought I had reached the height of my personal achievements. I did not know I would reach the pinnacle until I became your WWE Global Ambassador. I get a chance to represent WWE all over the globe. It is something we need now more than ever. We need to provide goodwill. Each and every one of us try to put smiles on your faces inside and outside the ring. Whether it is helping those less fortunate or supporting our servicemen and women all over the world. Titus says they promote causes that help family and allow people to do good. We get to spread goodness and goodwill. That is why you will never hear us talk about religion or politics or anything else that is divisive. Regardless of your race, economic status, or your nationality, this is a place where we deserve to have a safe haven and make sure that we all have a good time.
That is what we are going ot do tonight. Welcome to Raw.
We take a look back at what happened last week between Bianca Belair and Carmella for the Raw Women’s Championship.
Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
Becky welcomes everyone to the big time. She says you know the story of the Little Engine that Could. An engine carried a heavy load and met obstacle after obstacle and moved on. That has been my journey since Wrestlemania. I am no little blue choo choo. I am a ginger locomotive. You can call me the Big Time Becks Express. When she comes unhinged I cannot be stopped. I rolled right over Asuka. When the train is coming, it stops for nobody. Everybody stops for the train, just like I stopped five women on the way to Money in the Bank. But every journey has to hit its stations. I have hit defeat junction and loser place, but I have hit legendary road. Now you can get off at appreciation station when I become the next Raw Women’s Champion.
I am happy to hear that you love that. I have been told that the winner of the title match that is about to happen will have to face me at SummerSlam for the Raw Women’s Championship. I could, can, and will become your new Raw Women’s Champion.
Bianca Belair comes out and she has something to say.
She says Becky knows what she did last week was foul. You had to cause a distraction to get me counted out so I could lose my match. Let me tell you something. You can do whatever you want to do to take the focus off me and put it on you. This is not the Becky Lynch Wrestlemania Comeback Story. This is Bianca Belair’s comeback story from last year’s SummerSlam. Losing the title to you in 26 seconds was disappointing. It shocked everyone and I vowed to myself that I would use every opportunity as a chance to redeem my reputation.
Look at us now. A whole year later and I did just that. When I beat Carmella tonight, I will rewrite that last chapter and kick your little caboose back to Ireland.
Carmella comes out and she says that you are making a mistake by overlooking me. I am a badass with a bad ass. I beat you last week and it is convenient that you were distracted by Becky and could not beat the count back into the ring. Maybe Bianca thought she was outmatched and had to take a short cut. Regardless, It does not matter that if you get counted out again, Mella will not only be money but your new champion.

He says he saw something that he admired with Riddle. Riddle is always cool, calm, and collected. Kevin says he does not know if Riddle has any assistance to be that way. Kevin says he does not care about Ezekiel, Elias, or Elrod. The reason he called Riddle out here is because of his match at SummerSlam against Seth Rollins. Kevin says Seth caused him great anguish. Seth used to act like my best friend but he betrayed me when I fought my hardest. I lost my best friend just like you lost your best friend, Randy Orton.
Kevin says everybody needs some backup, especially in WWE. The answer is right in front of him. RK-Bro was good but Bro-KO could be great.
Riddle says he does not want to get ahead of himself. Riddle says Owens is the biggest liar he knows.
Kevin says he knows that Riddle can think that. I have changed and no one will be able to call me a liar. You trusted Randy Orton, the biggest snake in WWE. No one was ever less trustworthy.

Whether you beat Lashley or cash in the contract or do both, know that I’ll be the first in a long line of people who are going to take that from you. Just so you know, kiddo, the locker room is not jealous of you. We think you are a big jackass.
Theory says you are so easy to figure out. I have been on Raw for less than a year and I became the youngest US Champion and youngest Mr. Money in the Bank. What were you doing at my age? How many years did you have to scratch and claw by hitting phenomenal forearms on barefoot hillbillies in Georgia. They should be calling me phenomenal. You don’t like me because I am young.
AJ says there isn’t enough time on Raw to tell you how much I don’t like you. I am proud of where I am from and I am the man I am today because of my background.
Theory calls him an old grizzled veteran.

Wrestlemania was a tag team match and I was able to protect. One on one, I have been doing this for eighteen years. Out there you are a big star, but here, this is MIzTV and I am the host. You cannot host this and you cannot face me one on one. You are a rookie and you have to earn it. Your challenge is denied.
Logan takes off his jacket and he asks Miz if he thinks Logan isn’t ready. Do you think I am not tough enough? I was told I could not build a social media empire, but I did. I was told I couldn’t last in the ring with Floyd Mayweather and I did. I was told I couldn’t compete in the ring, but I am in the ring. When I am told that I can’t, it motivates me. Next week, I will be on Raw and I will host my own version of MizTV. This rookie will show you who is better.
