WWE RAW Results 10/25/21 - Season Premiere Episode

Show Opener: Monday Night Raw Season Premiere!

Commentary God Byron Saxton, the future Mrs. Carmella--Corey Graves--and that Jimmy Smith dude welcome us to the season premiere of Monday Night Raw. Pyro opens up the Toyota Center with a hot crowd who are ready for the start of a new era. Graves hypes up all the new faces, as does Saxton, as we get ready to have fresh new feuds such as Rollins vs Edge!

In the Ring Promo: WWE Champion Big E!

Our champ comes out first for our program to a good pop from the lively crowd. He gets on the mic. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs...welcome to the season premiere of Monday Night Raw!" Great pop from the Houston crowd. "And what better town to host a season premiere than a town that gave us DJ Screw, a town that gave us those impressive Michelin-esque Oiler throwbacks, and a town that has a Papadeauxs on every corner!" He plays up to the Houston crowd, the liveliest we've had in a few weeks, and they chant heavily for the Houston Astros. Big E soaks it in. "That's beautiful, good luck to your Astros." Big pop. "Now, I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention your oh-so-gracious and brand-new King of the Ring, my brother and yours--Xavier Woods!" Another big pop from the crowd. "Now, I also have to tip my cap to Drew McIntyre." Boos. "A man who pushed me, a man who sharpened my iron, a man who is the reason that I am better today than I was a week ago." Claps from the crowd. "But as we all know, there is no rest for the weary and ask we have this incredible influx of talent from SmackDown to Raw, I ask 'who?'" The crowd with light "who" recalls until Seth Rollins makes his way out.

Seth comes out wearing an awesome black and white fur coat, despite the Houston heat, and enters the ring. Rollins grins and gets on the mic as the crowd boos. First he laughs in Big E's face, cackling like a mad mind. "You already know why I'm out here," Rollins exclaims. Big E adds, "well, you lost to Edge!" Big pop. Rollins screams "well, he's not here but I am and I want that title around your waist" but Big E tells Rollins that Rollins needs to head to the back of the line. Rollins whines about going through hell on Thursday, and states he's earned his stripes. He tells Big E that Roman Reigns, the Universal Champion, is too afraid to give Rollins a shot. He asks Big E if he wants to be a fighting champion, points out it's the season premiere, and says there's no better way to launch a new season than with a title match. Rey Mysterio's music plays and the crowd pops loud as Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio comes out! Mysterio tells Rollins that "clearly your vision is impaired after getting your head bashed in by edge." Mysterio points out that he's not seen anything eye-to-eye with Rollins in years, but if anyone deserves a title shot it's himself--a former United States champion, Intercontinental, tag team, three-time world heavyweight champion and a former WWE Champion. Mysterio states he is willing to do whatever it takes to win that championship one more time and the crowd pops. Rollins tells E to ignore him when out comes Finn Bálor!

Bálor tells Rey-Rey that he has nothing but love for Mysterio "but with all due respect, I am a two-time NXT champion, I am a two-time Intercontinental champion, and Seth--I was the first-ever Universal Champion. But there's one championship I've never held...I want that, the WWE Championship." Rollins, again, implores Big E not to listen to them. Kevin Owens makes his way out as Seth curses off mic at yet another interruption. Owens points out "I'm a former NXT champion, I'm a former three-time US champion, I'm a former two-time Intercontinental Champion, and there's something about the first time I won that title...right here in Houston," he says to a cheap pop. He then reminds us that he became Universal Champion in this very building and says the person he beat was "you, Cruella Deville," indicating Rollins. Rollins slugs him and then attacks Mysterio followed by Bálor. Rollins escapes as the others chase him out of the ring. WWE Official Sonya Deville comes out and sets a fatal four-way match for later tonight. She states that the winner will get a title shot against Big E. And as its the season premiere, Sonya wants to up the ante and raise stakes--it'll be a fatal four-way ladder match. Which means a four-man ladder match.

Triple-Threat Number One Contender Tag Match: the Street Profits vs the Dirty Dawgs vs the Alpha Academy

The winner of this match will receive a show at the Raw tag team championship at a future time. The Street Profits are out first, prior to a break, followed by their opponents. We start off with Chad Gable and freshly-inked Montez Ford, the lesser-known member of the Street Profits. Ford and Gable lock up, with both men exchanging early, brief leads through their technical prowess. Gable shows off his agility through an impressive arm bar escape and counter, dragging Ford down to the mat and working the left shoulder. Nearby, the Dirty Dawgs--Ziggler & Roode--pace, looking for a tag in. Ford powers to a standing base and whips Gable off. Gable rebounds off the ropes, drops Ford with a shoulder block, and counters a leaping bump into a German Suplex! Ford floats through, landing on his feet, and nails Gable with a dropkick. Finally Ford tags in future Hall of Famer Angelo Dawkins! Dawkins, with a little help from Ford, clear the ring. Both men unload on Otis as Angelo Dawkins single-handedly clears the ring. RK-Bro are shown watching from backstage as we head to break.

Back from the break. Robert Roode slams the lesser-Profit into the mat, picking up a two on Ford. Roode whips Ford into the Dawg corner but charges into a back elbow. Ford, taking after his legendary partner, throws elbows and kicks, knocking both Dawgs down. Ford crawls towards his corner in slow-motion. Ziggler tags himself in. Enziguri attempted and failed, but a desperate Powerbomb lays out both men! Otis enters the ring, dragging Ziggler to their corner, then exits to the apron so he can tag himself in. Otis looks to spear Ford in the corner but Fear dodges. Ford tags in Dawkins who comes in hot, as always, and wipes out Gable with a flying spinning elbow. Dawkins, on overdrive per Saxton, takes down Gable and Ziggler with a pair of suplexes. Dawkins with a spinning driver to pick up a two. Robert Roode makes the save and the furious Dawkins sends him out of the ring.

Dawkins bravely fights both members of the Alpha Academy and, when double-teamed into a bridging German Suplex by Gable, Dawkins provides the strength to allow Ford to break the count with a desperate dive off the top. Dawkins with a huge spinebuster on Roode as Ford flies over the top to wipe out Otis at the ring side. Omos hits the ring side. Ford dives and Omos catches Ford, throwing him into the barricade. As this is a triple-threat match, this is all legal. The Giant Omos barely manages to help Roode take down Dawkins, and the Dirty Dawgs capitalize on Omos' actions to pick up the in.

Your Winner and NEW Number One Contenders, the Dirty Dawgs!

Queen's Crown Victory Celebration & Coronation

After much praise is (rightfully) shown to Zelina Vega, we get to the coronation of our first-ever Queen's Crown winner. When we return from break, the ring is set up with red carpet and a Queen's throne. Queen Zelina makes her way out to loud boos from the digital crowd (piped-in sound) with a mild reaction from the in-house crowd. Zelina comes out, scepter in hand and cape on, then grabs a mic. "I will stand for this treatment no longer. How dare you--yeah, you," she tells the ring announcer, "I'm not just some Superstar. I am the first ever Queens Crown tournament winner. You are talking about royalty here. So try it again, with some actual bravado like we rehearsed." She says some phrases with a British accent, and has herself re-introduced as the one and only true Queen of WWE. In and out of her British accent, she tells the crowd that she is the only woman in the WWE fit to be a Queen. The ascension to the throne was her destiny and "none of those other girls in the locker room even had a chance!" She then asks the crowd to bow down to the official queen. The crowd boos and the camera stays on Vega. She states that the question remains, what kind of queen she'll be. She decides, after weighing her options, that she'll be everything listed "because if you aren't the most powerful woman in the room, you are nothing." She insults Doudrop, continuing to go in and out of the accent. She tells the crowd that they'll talk about her reign for years to come, she'll be as ruthless as Cleopatra, and as renown as Nefertiti. She demands we all hail her, thanks everyone and is interrupted by Doudrop herself. Out bounces Doudrop as Vega waves her on. We'll see these two in action next.

Singles Match: Queen Zelina Vega vs Doudrop

When we return, we start right with the action. Doudrop takes an early lead, easily tossing the smaller Vega around. Doudrop hoists Zelina with little effort, and strikes from Vega to Doudrop's back only serve to upset the 'Drop. Doudrop stalks Vega towards the corner; Vega counters, dropping Doudrop face-first into the middle turnbuckle. Vega climbs up and hits a middle-rope double-knee face-breaker (think: back stabber, face edition). Vega covers for two. Vega unties a turnbuckle and the ref stops to put the turnbuckle on, giving Vega time to use her scepter to strike Doudrop and pick up the win because the year is 1995.

Your Winner, Queen Zelina Vega!

In the Ring Promo: Raw Women's Champion "Big Time Becks" Becky Lynch

Our Raw Women's Champion, "the Man" Becky Lynch, makes her way out to digital boos and a split, albeit mostly-pro Lynch crowd. We head to break. Afterwards, our champ is ready to speak. The digital crowd is not happy but the real one is. Lynch tells us that it feels good to have the Raw title back on her shoulder, "the title that I never lost, the title that I won at WrestleMania 35." Lynch states that in her two months back, she's overcome "insurmountable odds" and dispatched of Banks and Belair. Lynch states that "as the Man of the people, I know (none of) you want to see Bianca Belair" anywhere near the title. She tells the crowd that they hate Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley and want to see Lynch beat them. She goes on to state that they will learn that they can't always get what they want--"unless you're me, I always get what I want because I am the Man." Bianca Belair comes out.

Belair makes her way down the ramp, telling Lynch that she (Belair) wasn't the one Lynch pinned--and cheated to do so. Belair tells Lynch that since SummerSlam, Lynch has found multiple ways to avoid fighting Belair again. Belair points out she beat Banks at WrestleMania, and Bayley at Hell in a Cell, and she deserves a rematch against the Raw Women's Champion. She states Lynch's "26 seconds of fame" is over. Belair states that Lynch was right about the new face of Raw arriving but it was the EST of the WWE. Lynch tells Belair that she figured Belair might have something to say about that, and has production put up a picture of Lynch post-match at Crown Jewel, smiling and hoisting her belt up. She has them show a picture of Belair's face, and Belair looks disparaged at the loss. Lynch tells Belair that's the face of a loser and chastises Belair for claiming Lynch never faced diversity. Lynch takes (some proper) credit for treading the way. She does give Belair props for her accolades but claims it's only been because Lynch wasn't around to stop her in her tracks, and states Belair is nothing but a disappointment. Belair replies that the only disappointment she feels is because she's not "slapped that goofy smile" off Lynch's face. She then accuses Lynch of being jealous of the fans love for Belair. Very mild "EST" chant for half a second. Belair tells Lynch that her smile is forced and her ego is inflated, and behind the title Lynch has nothing. "But if you're not with it, you'll never be enough without it and you are nothing without that title." Belair tells the champ that even without the title, Belair has proven herself. Belair tells Lynch to "shut up or run up" because "I want my match for the Raw Women's Championship right here (tonight)."Lynch tells Belair to "get to the back of the line, bitch!" Belair slugs Becky in the boobs, then stomps away at Lynch in the corner. Spinebuster from Belair followed by a whip, sending the champ into the table. Belair celebrates prematurely and Lynch attempts to attack her with a kendo stick. Belair catches the stick between her ribs and left arm, taking it from Lynch. Belair beats Lynch repeatedly with the stick. Becky attempts to get the stick but Belair counters with a KOD attempt. Lynch claws the eyes, then uses the kendo stick for a stick-assisted side Russian Leg Sweep. Lynch retreats up the ramp as Belair smiles in the ring, jawing off at the champ and kendo stick in hand. Lynch closes us, telling Belair "you want your match? You got it....just not tonight."
