WWE Raw Results – Nov 25, 2019

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of Monday Night Raw.

Last night was WWE Survivor Series 2019 and Raw was the big loser. At the finish of the show NXT won four matches, SmackDown won two, and Raw scored just on victory. That was a pretty measly showing for the red brand, who was the undoubted least favourite with fans. How will they bounce back? Well, tonight’s Raw is oddly empty.

There are only two announced matches for tonight’s show, the first of which is Charlotte Flair Vs. Asuka. During the traditional women’s Survivor Series match last night, Asuka and Charlotte had a breakdown and the Empress sprayed the Queen in green mist. Tonight, Charlotte looks for revenge.

The other announced match is, once again, AJ Styles Vs. Humberto Carrillo, with the United States Championship on the line. It’s fair to say the fans haven’t taken to Carrillo, which was to be expected when he was thrown in against fan-favourite AJ Styles. Nobody really asked for this match again, but it will most likely be fun during it.

And that’s it. There isn’t usually so little announced for Monday Night Raw, but hopefully that means we’re going to get a more unpredictable show. Remember to follow along on the Ringside News app, Instagram and Twitter. Enjoy the show!

Monday Night Raw

WWE Raw opens with the entire RAW roster around the ring, with a black-clad Seth Rollins standing in it. The fans chant “CM Punk” to which Seth says, listen, I tried to get him here but he’s more interested in sitting behind a desk in Los Angeles than being in this ring. He moves on and says tonight is about the Raw roster.

The fans chant “NXT” and Seth says tonight he agrees, last night NXT mopped the floor with Raw. And that makes him sick because he loves Monday Night Raw. He grew up watching Raw, people like Steve Austin, The Rock, DX, and more. Raw is better than that. However it has to be said, and he’s sorry, but everyone standing around the ring sucked last night. The fans boo and all the Superstars look confused. The fans chant “you suck”. Seth says he knows, they all dropped the ball. He says they went from the A show to the C show. They need to get back out there and plant the flag for Raw, so give him a damn minute.

Seth says he believes in Monday Night Raw, which is why he called this meeting. He asks anyone if they want to speak but nobody does. Seth picks-out Randy Orton and says he was the weak link last night. Orton stares at Seth, then leaves up the ramp. Seth tells him that’s fine, he’ll do it all himself. Orton makes a jack-off sign at Seth. Next Seth calls-out Charlotte and says she was supposed to be the leader last night. But she wasn’t even the last person in the match and she calls herself a Flair. Charlotte flicks her hair and walks off.

Seth motions to the Authors of Pain and says they weren’t at Survivor Series last night but maybe they should have. He says they’ve been talking non-stop for weeks but they weren’t there last night and they definitely don’t need them tonight. He tells the AOP to leave. Rollins points the finger at Rey Mysterio and says he let us down more than anyone last night. He says Rey couldn’t get the job done with a lead pipe and his dumb son. The entire Raw roster then leaves and Seth berates them, saying he’s the only one with the guts to call it like it is. Kevin Owens stays.

Owens stands on the apron and the entire arena chants his name. Seth says his name is “Mr NXT”, then ushers Owens into the ring. Rollins says that this isn’t about him, he loves Raw. He eats, sleeps, and breathes Monday Night Raw, but what does Owens do? He just shows-up and he’s a lazy piece of crap. He says Owens wants his spot, he wants to be Seth Rollins, but he’ll never be. Rollins takes a step back and says he didn’t mean that, he’s coming from a good place. Owens doesn’t say anything, he just hits Seth with a Stunner and leaves.

*Commercial Break*

Rollins is backstage and Charly Caruso approaches him. She says he didn’t get what he wanted and Seth says he was doing the right thing, trying to get the Raw train back on track, but clearly Kevin Owens doesn’t agree with him. So tonight they meet in the ring, that’s a challenge.

Bobby Lashley W/Lana Vs. Titus o’nEIL

The bell rings and Bobby hugs Lana on the apron. Lashley and Titus lock-up and struggle to the ropes. O’Neil forces Lashley to the corner and chops him in the chest.

Rusev is handcuffed on the stage as Lana screams at him and consoles Lashley. Rusev breaks free from the police, runs, and shoulder tackles Lashley off the stage through some tables. “Rusev Day!” rings throughout the arena as Rusev kicks off a huge lighting rig onto Lashley. Huge pop for Rusev, who shouts “I’m back!”

Murphy falls out of the ring and walks around it, holding a bloody nose from Matt Hardy. Murphy teased getting back into the ring but decided against it.

Charly Caruso is backstage and she talks to Charlotte Flair. Caruso asks if Flair’s behaviour last night was befitting of a captain. Charlotte laughs and says she’s never claimed to be a leader. She was the only person capable of leading Team Raw. As for Asuka, Charlotte says that Asuk is still bitter from when she took her SmackDown Women’s Championship last spring, and from WrestleMania 34 when she ended her undefeated streak. Now Asuka wants to try and blind her, well tonight she reminds her why she is the 10x Women’s Champion.

*Commercial Break*

Raw returns with replays of tonight’s opening, with Seth Rollins’ heel turn.

AJ Styles comes to the ring alone for his United States Championship defence. The O.C. come out when Humberto Carrillo is making his entrance and attack him. They beat him down at ringside, slamming him into the apron, the steps, then hitting the Magic Killer on the steps. Ricochet comes out to check on Carrillo. Styles sarcastically says “you’re welcome Chicago.” AJ says Humberto clearly can’t compete tonight, which is really unfortunate. He mocks Ricochet saying he clearly isn’t much of a superhero.

Ricochet says that AJ is a shell of his former self. He’s been degraded to siccing his goons on everyone who threatens his title reign. But he would be more than happy to relieve him of that burden and face him for the United States Championship. Styles says no, he signed a contract to face Humberto and he can’t compete. So he won’t be wrestling tonight. Randy Orton comes out and says Humberto can’t compete tonight, but he certainly can. And he reckons there is nothing Chicago wants to see more than him RKO his ass.

Styles says the last time he faced Randy Orton it was in a bigger and better city, under the bright lights of WrestleMania. And he’s beaten both of them on multiple occasions, so he has nothing to prove. Drew McIntyre walks out and says he has a solution; AJ has never faced him and he pinned both Braun Strowman and Walter last night. Drew says that Chicago doesn’t deserve the match, but it’s a first time affair and they should do it tonight. Styles says that he stole the show last night and he’s sore.

Rey Mysterio makes his entrance and says he is more banged-up than anybody after fighting Brock Lesnar. Mysterio says AJ is making excuses but he won’t let him cheat the good people of Chi-Town out of a title match. AJ says none of them has earned anything. They all want a title shot but he declines. Ricochet says he’s the new guy around here but how about the four of them face-off, with the winner getting a shot at AJ’s title. AJ turns to his goons to say it’s a bad idea but they both think it sounds entertaining, so AJ agrees to it.

*Commercial Break*
