WWE RAW Results – July 6, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage for WWE RAW on July 6th.

Tonight’s show only has two announced matches at the time of writing, and that is a showdown between the RAW Women’s Champion, Asuka, and the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley. This match will serve as a primer for Asuka Vs. Banks at Extreme Rules.

The other announced match for tonight will see Rey Mysterio return to the ring to battle Seth Rollins and Murphy, with Aleister Black at his side. It has yet to be confirmed, but it’s a certainty that Rey will face Rollins at Extreme Rules, with some sort of stipulation that I imagine will see Rey put his mask on the line.

The only other thing we know about tonight’s RAW is that Dolph Ziggler will choose the stipulation for his WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre. We’re likely to get more from Randy Orton and Big Show, as well as Andrade and Angel Garza’s chase of the Street Profits.

So follow along here as the show starts at 8 PM EST, and remember to join us on Instagram and Twitter. Enjoy the show!

WWE RAW

This week’s RAW kicks-off with the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre coming to the ring. Drew gets right down to business and says it doesn’t matter what stipulation Dolph Ziggler chooses for The Horror Show, because he will beat him. So Drew invites Dolph out to tell us all what it will be.

Ziggler comes to the stage and says everybody wants to hear what the stipulation will be, but guess what? It’s a secret. That’s right, Drew made a mistake in letting him pick the stipulation, and now he won’t know until Extreme Rules.

McIntyre says it doesn’t matter because he’s the WWE Champion. Dolph says they can compare resume’s if he wants, because Drew’s has a pretty big gap in it. McIntyre says that he’s tired of hearing it. He’s proud of his comeback story and he hope it inspired others.

Dolph says Drew didn’t do it all himself, and he’s left plenty of people by the wayside, not just himself. Dolph then introduces someone else McIntyre left: Heath Slater. The fired Superstar comes down to the ring with Dolph Ziggler and refutes a handshake.

Heath says Drew and him go way back. He remembers when Drew came to America, and he was one of the first people to get called up to the “main roster”. He was the chosen one. But they both know he wasn’t the guy, wasn’t ready. The man standing in the ring today though, he is the chosen one.

Slater says he was sitting at home in April, watching Drew McIntyre Claymore Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship. He was so happy it made him cry, pure joy for his brother. And Drew knows he loves him because when McIntyre was fired he called him to see how he was. They went to dinner together. But where was Drew when he got released?

Slater says the last time they spoke was on The Bump. And Drew knows his two little girls, his actual kids. They believe in him, and he wants McIntyre to know he was there for him. He said Drew promised him on The Bump he would petition to have a match with him. That whole “I got kids” thing wasn’t just a gimmick, it was real. And this is probably his last shot. He wants Drew to give him what he deserves. What McIntyre promised him.

McIntyre doesn’t look interested. Slater pushes him and asks him to fight. McIntyre doesn’t respond so Heath slaps him across the face. Drew says he’s on, he’s got the fight.

Sarah Schreiber is backstage with Sasha Banks and Bayley. She starts to ask a question but Bayley interrupts her and says they can just go talk to the world. The Tag Champions leave but Asuka appears behind Sarah. She asks Asuka how she can cope with them by herself? Asuka says she isn’t alone, then dances off.

*Commercial Break*

Bayley and Sasha Banks are in the ring when we come back from the break. Banks says everyone needs to get used to seeing them on all three shows, with all the gold. Bayley agrees because she’s going to beat Nikki Cross at Extreme Rules. Banks says she will beat Asuka and become Two Belts Banks, then they will own the company.

Asuka comes out to the stage and mocks Sasha. Asuka says Bayley is not ready for her, and Sasha is not ready for her friend. Bayley says if Asuka has some great secret she should reveal it, because Sasha is ready to face anyone. Asuka then invites Kairi Sane out and they make their way to the ring.

*Commercial Break*

Sasha Banks W/Bayley Vs. Kairi Sane W/Asuka

We return and the bell rings. Sasha beats Kairi into the corner and pounds her down before gloating. Sane hits an arm-drag, then chops Sasha in the chest repeatedly.

We see a replay of last Monday when Seth Rollins beat Humberto Carrillo and Aleister Black in a tag match, then tried to blind Carrillo. The camera cuts backstage and we see Aleister Black pinned down under some metal rods, wearing a Rey Mysterio mask. Seth and Murphy are there, and Seth says “that’s a damn shame”.

*Commercial Break*

The Viking Raiders are backstage, practising bowling, when The Big Show appears. He says he loves to have fun, but tonight is serious. Tonight they’re going to be teaming against Randy Orton, Angel Garza, and Andrade. They say they will take things seriously because they looked-up to Christian, and Edge is a fellow Viking. And they too have a five second pose. They pose and Big Show slaps the chest of them both. Ivar gets mad but Erik gets between them and says tonight, the raid will be on.

Kevin Owens comes to the ring for the KO Show. He says that, before he gets started, he should just get rid of the set dressing, so he throws the chairs out of the ring. He says his guest tonight is not someone you’d expect to see on the show tonight, considering their history. He introduces a “big piece of trash”, Seth Rollins.

Rollins comes down to the ring with Murphy. Seth asks why KO removed the chairs, that he has no intention of getting physical. He thanks Owens and says he’s happy to be here. Seth asks how his fractured ankle is, the ankle KO injured at WrestleMania against him. Owens says it’s good, surely better than Seth’s ego.

Owens says they faced each other at WrestleMania, and they have a bond because of it. Wrestling at that show is what they all strive towards, so when two people perform together they form a bond. So he wants to commemorate it, and hands Seth the shirt he wore that night. Seth thanks him but says he sees what he’s trying to do. And he has news for him, he doesn’t give a damn about him or his show, he only came out to use him as a platform to address Rey Mysterio.

Now that Rey is cleared to compete, he’s formally challenging him to a match at Extreme Rules. It’s time to make Rey a permanent sacrifice. But now that that is out of the way, they can dredge up the past. He says things haven’t been going so good for Owens since WrestleMania, having been injured and done very little while he’s rose to prominence.

Rollins says Owens might realise he can get more fighting alongside him. Fight for the greater good. It would give him purpose. Rey Mysterio comes out with Dominik and asks if Seth really thinks Owens will fall for his BS. And as for his challenge, he accepts. At Extreme Rules, Seth’s destiny will be in his hands.

Seth says he loves this. But what about tonight? Black is injured, so is Rey going to compete 2-on-1? Or maybe his boy can join in and lose his eye too. Owens interrupts and says he will gladly fight by Rey Mysterio’s side. Owens suggests the winning team tonight get to choose the stipulation at Extreme Rules. Seth says they’re on and Murphy immediately attacks KO. Rey and Owens clear the ring as we head to the break.

Rey gets distracted by Seth, allowing Murphy to hit an enziguiri. Dominik then distracts Murphy, so him and Seth try to intimidate him after punching Owens. Rollins rakes the eyes of Dom, then him and Murphy run to the ring to avoid the incoming Rey and KO. The heels have the high ground.

Charly Caruso interviews MVP and Bobby Lashley backstage. She starts to talk about Apollo but Lashley says he crushed him and it won’t be long until he loses the United States Championship. MVP says the future of the United States Championship can only be described as “ballin’”.

*Commercial Break*

MVP and Lashley come to the ring, where there is a new belt draped in cloth on a red, white, and blue table. MVP says that, when Crews came to WWE a while ago, he was shining bright but he burned out quickly. Because he passed through their orbit. He says Crews disrespected him and by proxy, he disrespected Lashley. And when he beats Crews at The Horror Show, he won’t be the Champion any more but he’ll have the memories. MVP promises his next US Title run will be as good as the first two, then reveals the new United States Championship.

He says the new belt is befitting of a legend like him. Lashley says they may as well just make it official, so he crowns MVP the new Champ and puts the belt on him. Ricochet and Cedric Alexander come out. Cedric says that belt is prestige but MVP should know better than anyone that titles are earned, not handed out. Ricochet says that Apollo will be back soon, but MVP hurt their friend and they’re here to make sure the hurt business goes to 11. They clear the ring as we head to the break.
