WWE RAW RESULTS – SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” gets us started as always. We then hear Joe Tessitore on the house microphone off-camera as we see arrival shots of CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Bronson Reed, Braun Strowman and others.
We then settle inside the Ford Center in Evansville, IN. where Tessitore and Wade Barrett are standing in the ring. They welcome us to the show.
WWE Intercontinental Champion “Main Event” Jey Uso Kicks Off The Show
They then introduce footage of “Main Event” Jey Uso beating Bron Breakker last week to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. We see footage of reactions from fans in different parts of the building, people at home, etc.
We shoot backstage where Uso is seen with a sea of fans. Tessitore informs us that one of them is his son. The camera follows him as he makes his way through the curtain and heads to the ring to kick off this week’s show.
He gets on the mic and talks about his son being one of those who walked him to the ring, and cool that was. He gets the crowd doing the “YEET!” chant like Steve Austin’s old “WHAT?” chant after every statement he makes.
Bron Breakker ends up coming out and he tells Uso he meant what he said before the match, which was that the better man would win. He gives Uso respect and exits the ring. Uso asks if there’s any dogs in the house to get the fans to show Breakker some love. Mutual respect and that’s how the segment ends, surprisingly.
Rey Mysterio vs. Xavier Woods
For the first time ever in one-on-one singles action, Rey Mysterio of the LWO takes on Xavier Woods of New Day, in our first match of the evening. We see the backstage footage from last week’s show that led to this meeting.
From there, Rey makes his way to the ring, as Tessitore talks us into a quick pre-match commercial break. When we return, we see a quick Judgment Day segment teasing surprises for tonight and noting Finn Balor’s late to the show.
We then see both guys make their respective ring entrances and then the bell sounds to get things started. We see some typical back-and-forth action early on, leading into a big high spot that saw Mysterio leap off the ring apron, connecting with a West Coast Pop to Woods on the floor.
On that note, we head into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When we return, we see the action back in the ring, with Mysterio on his way to victory when Woods tears his mask completely off, nearly exposing Rey’s face to the camera briefly. He rolls him up while he’s covering his face for the cheap win.
Winner: Xavier Woods
Lyra Valkyria vs. Zoey Stark
Backstage, we see Pure Fusion Collective bullying Lyra Valkyria. We then shoot to Woods bumping into Kofi Kingston after unmasking Rey Mysterio to win. Kofi informs him he has a shot against Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso next week on Raw.
Inside the arena, Valkyria and Zoey Stark make their respective ring entrances. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. During a break, we return and see the latest PFR vignette.
The action is still in progress and we see Valkyria with it won, but the ref is distracted by the Pure Fusion Collective girls on the apron. They end up stealing the win. Kayden Carter and Katana Chance hit the ring for a post-match attack with a keg stand.
Winner: Zoey Stark
CM Punk, Drew McIntyre Talk Hell In A Cell At Bad Blood
We see a special video promoting tonight’s Last Monster Standing Match with Bronson Reed vs. Braun Strowman. After that, we see Raw G.M. Adam Pearce talking to officials and security about how he wants a winner in that match tonight.
As they talk, we see CM Punk walking by them and getting ready to go to the ring. On that note, we head to another commercial break.
When we return, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are being interviewed backstage when Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn come up talking trash. The two shout back-and-forth and then we head back inside the Ford Center.
Inside the Ford Center, we see Adam Pearce in the ring with a ton of officials as a Hell In A Cell cage is lowered over the ring. He talks about one “Hell” of a special attraction at the WWE Bad Blood 2024 premium live event this weekend.
He mentions CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will go to hell inside of a cell at Bad Blood and they will go to war. He says when they are done with that war, things between them will be over. He says he’s making sure they won’t be touching each other tonight.
Pearce then introduces CM Punk. “The Best in the World” makes his way to the ring to a huge crowd reaction. Pearce then introduces Drew McIntyre. McIntyre says he’ll start first. He brings up wearing black.
He says it’s out of respect. Not for Punk. He has none for him. It’s for his wife. She’s gonna have to feed him and bathe him. Hell, she’s probably gonna leave him.
Punk then mentions how he’s been living in a hotel for four weeks because he won’t subject his wife to the type of man he has been turned into. He vows McIntyre will beg for mercy and pray to CM Punk, not God or the Devil, when he takes him to hell this Saturday in Atlanta.
Carlito, JD McDonagh & Dominik Mysterio vs. Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro
Backstage, Braun Strowman is being interviewed about his Last Monster Standing match later tonight against Bronson Reed, when The Miz walks up to talk to him about getting involved in his match last week. Before Strowman can answer, R-Truth shows up.
Truth is asked how he’s doing after taking five Tsunami Splashes from Reed, but Truth says he doesn’t remember that. He thinks Strowman is Andre the Giant and informs Miz he got them a tag-match against AOP. He says Awesome Truth is back.
We head to another commercial break after The Judgment Day make their way to the ring for six-man tag-team action in our next match of the evening. When we return, the LWO team of Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro make their way to the ring.
The bell sounds and it is McDonagh and Del Toro kicking things off for their respective teams.
