On Monday, the latest "WWE Raw" results were recorded in Manchester, England. While most "Raw" episodes are shown live on the USA Network, the latest edition will be a pre-recorded show. It featured a number of interesting matches, just days after the WWE Crown Jewel results from Saudi Arabia. Among the superstars in action for Manchester's show were Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins, Nia Jax, Elias, Dolph Ziggler, and Riott Squad. Keep in mind, spoilers may appear in the results below since the show has yet to go on USA.
'WWE Raw': Championship changes hands
It's no secret that the "WWE Raw" tag team champions have major issues. Shortly after Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins won the tag titles from Dolph Ziggler and Elias, Ambrose turned heel to lay out Rollins in the ring. That led to one angry member of The Shield looking for revenge. On Monday's episode of "Raw," Rollins came to the ring to try to forfeit the tag team titles. However, Baron Corbin wouldn't allow it.
Instead, Corbin booked a match for the titles, leaving Rollins to defend them on his own. His opponents were none other than Authors of Pain (AOP). As one might expect, Rollins couldn't hold up against the brute force of these monstrous opponents.
So with that, there are new WWE Raw tag team champions.
To add further insult (and injury) to injury, Seth's former friend, Dean Ambrose, came out and teased that he was going to tell Rollins why he attacked him before. Instead, Ambrose hit Dirty Deeds to lay out Rollins in the ring.
'WWE Raw' brings heel turn in women's division
In another part of "WWE Raw," the winner of the women's battle royale at Evolution was in action. Nia Jax got in the ring against Ember Moon, the competitor who nearly eliminated her in the battle royal. Unfortunately for Ember, this was a squash match with Nia Jax able to get the victory.
After she won, Tamina Snuka decided to come to the ring. It appeared as if Tamina was going to battle it out with Nia Jax in the ring again. Instead, the two teamed up to attack Ember Moon some more. Based on that, it seems that Nia has turned heel ahead of what will be another matchup with Ronda Rousey.
Other 'WWE Raw' matches
At the start of the show, Baron Corbin announced he was going to face Kurt Angle in the ring, with the winner becoming captain of Team Raw. That was recently reported as one of the possible Survivor Series 2018 match changes. Instead of Corbin, Drew McIntyre took Corbin's place in the main event. Drew won the match to win Corbin the Team Raw captain spot. Post-match, Dolph Ziggler was there to try to help Drew attack Angle.
Braun Strowman showed up to make a save.
Also during the show, The Riott Squad vs Natalya, Bayley, and Sasha Banks was a no contest. Ruby Riott stomped on a pair of glasses that belonged to the late Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, causing Natalya distress. Bayley and Sasha comforted her after the incident.
Other "Raw" match results saw Elias hit Dolph Ziggler with Drift Away for a win, Apollo Crews defeat Jiner Mahal, and Bobby Lashley defeated Finn Balor. After Balor lost, Drew McIntyre helped him up before delivering a Claymore Kick to put him back down on the mat. Fans are able to watch the new episode starting at 8 PM ET on USA.
