WWE RAW RESULTS – OCTOBER 21, 2024
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks us off and then Joe Tessitore welcomes us to the show as we shoot inside Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. We see “Main Event” Jey Uso and others arrive to the building. We see the WWE Crown Jewel Championship in its’ special case.
Seth “Freakin'” Rollins Starts Brawl With “Big” Bronson Reed
As more arrival shots are shown, we see American Made approach Alpha Academy, and then as “Big” Bronson Reed is being shown making his arrival, out of nowhere he is ambushed and attacked from behind by Seth “Freakin'” Rollins.
Rollins beats him down and security rushes to the scene. Rollins keeps walking and hits the curtain. His theme hits and out comes a fired up “Visionary” and “Revolutionary.” He gets on the mic and challenges Reed to come out and fight.
Adam Pearce comes out pointing and yelling, but Reed does too, pushing past a bunch of security guards. As he nears the ringside area, Rollins hits the ropes and dives over them for a splash onto the big man. Reed fights back and gets Rollins in the ring, splashing him in the corner. Security rushes them again and separates them briefly.
Reed knocks two down, Rollins does the same. Rollins hits a big boot on Reed, but Reed hits a Death Valley Driver. He begins heading to the top-rope for a Tsunami Splash, but Rollins sees it coming and rolls out to the floor. Reed runs off the apron and splashes onto Rollins at ringside, and then clears off the commentary table.
He tries bringing Rollins up with him but security tries stopping him. With one security guard on his back, he hoists him up and lawn-darts him onto a pile of security. He leaps for a Tsunami Splash to Rollins through the commentary desk, but Rollins moves at the last second and Reed crashes through the desk. Fans chant “Holy sh*t!”
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez To Fight Damage CTRL Tonight
We see footage of the women’s tag-title scene on SmackDown last Friday and then shoot backstage where Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are approached by Damage CTRL. They talk directly into the camera and send a message to Nia Jax, before turning to deal with IYO SKY and Kairi Sane, who challenge them to a fight tonight. They agree.
WWE Tag-Team Title Tournament
New Day vs. AOP
Inside the arena, we hear the familiar sounds of The New Day’s theme and out comes Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods for our first match of the evening. As they settle inside the ring, we shift gears and head into a pre-match commercial break.
When we return, Lilian Garcia is introduced by Tessitore as he confirms news from earlier today regarding Samantha Irvin’s departure from WWE. Garcia goes on to botch her first call back, fumbling her words when introducing the WWE Tag-Team Title Contender Tournament bout.
Authors of Pain duo Akam and Rezar make their way out, accompanied by other members of The Final Testament, and then the bell sounds to get this one started. Earlier on, we see New Day doing well, but eventually we see Miz at ringside and he and Kross provide some distractions that shifts the momentum.
On that note, we head into another commercial break as the high stakes tag-team tilt continues. When we return, we see Kross and Miz talking at ringside, as AOP continues to control the action in the ring. Kingston fires up on offense and helps take over on offense. Woods hits a big dive to the floor to contribute to the comeback.
As the action continues, we see R-Truth show up out of nowhere and tackle Miz down and brawl with him. The distraction allows Kingston to take over again in the ring and catch them off-guard with a pin fall. With the victory, The New Day advances in the tournament.

The Wyatt Sicks Return, Beat Down The Final Testament
The Final Testament beats down R-Truth in the ring. We see Kingston trying to run down to make the save, but Woods is physically restraining him and yelling that it is not their business.
As they continue to bicker, the lights in the Wells Fargo Center go out and the single-note ominous piano key plays repeatedly. The lights flash back on and The Wyatt Sicks are in and surrounding the ring.
Nikki Cross hits a top-rope splash on Scarlett. Dexter Lumis, Rowan, Joe Gacy and company attack The Final Testament members and beat them down. Miz saves himself, or so he thought, as finally Uncle Howdy shows up.
