WWE RAW Results – September 28, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of WWE RAW, featuring all of the fallout from Clash of Champions last night.

On Sunday, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre proved yet again that he was too much for Randy Orton, defeating The Legend Killer with a little help from The Big Show, Christian, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair. What’s next for both of these men in the build to Hell in a Cell on Oct. 25? Could their paths once again cross with the Limitless Keith Lee? We’ll find out tonight!

We’ll also get an update on the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Title-holders Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler were medically disqualified by the doctors yesterday, meaning top contenders The Riott Squad still haven’t had their shot at the gold. The situation will be addressed on RAW.

Additionally, after successfully defending his United States Championship against Apollo Crews, Bobby Lashley is on to the next one. Lashley and his fellow Hurt Business teammates stepped right into the crosshairs of RETRIBUTION last week, with their main event tag match ending in a DQ. There’s plenty of unfinished ‘business’ for both teams. We’ll have to wait and see if they duke it out again, or if someone else will rise to challenge Lashley and company.

All this and more on an action-packed edition of RAW!

McIntyre with WWE legends segment

We’re starting off hot with Ric Flair! Tom Phillips informs us that it’s a celebration tonight as Flair struts to the ring. He’s followed by The Big Show, Christian and Shawn Michaels. All four men who were previously taken out by Randy Orton are back and feeling good in the ring.

We get a quick recap of all four legends returning at Clash of Champions. They helped Drew McIntyre retain the WWE Championship in an ambulance match.

Michaels says it’s been a long time since he’s done this, but here we go. “Welcome to Monday Night RAW!” Michaels then introduces McIntyre.

McIntyre remarks how cool it is to be standing in the ring with four legends. He notes how he’s known all four for a long time. He grew up with Christian and Big Show, travelling the road with them in his 20’s. He adds how they had his back and looked out for him. McIntyre goes to Michaels now, saying that he’s a mentor and that he wouldn’t be in this position without him. The champ finishes off with a complement of Flair.

McIntyre says that what brought them all together was their disdain for Randy Orton. He reminds everyone that he beat Orton last night and “put his ass in an ambulance.”

Michaels takes the mic, saying that all four legends are thankful for the whooping McIntyre doled out. He hopes that McIntyre doesn’t mind that all four interfered in the match. Michaels then blames it on Flair.

McIntyre is back on the mic, but Orton interrupts. He says their feud isn’t over until he says it is. He tells McIntyre that he has “no idea what hell is,” and won’t be done with him until he’s WWE Champion.

McIntyre jokes that Randy will beg for another match. Orton says McIntyre doesn’t get it. He doesn’t have to beg for anything. He’ll be given a title match because he’s Randy Orton, a 13-time WWE Champion. He reminds McIntyre that there’s a price to pay when you cross the legend killer. Orton then seemingly leaves the building.

McIntyre says all this talk about titles has given him an idea. He’s going to put his title on the line tonight in an open challenge. Anyone who he hasn’t faced is eligible. He asks “who wants to step up? Who wants to prove them self, who wants to be the man around here?” McIntyre closes by saying “somebody please step up.” The title is on the line later on!

We get a recap of Asuka successfully defending her title against Zelina Vega last night. Kayla Braxton is backstage to interview Vega. She discusses Vega being a poor sport. Vega answers, saying she’s just getting started, and that everyone is going to feel sorry for Asuka once she proves she’s ready for her. Asuka interrupts, and says she’s ready for her. Closes by saying “I hope you’re ready to lose to me one more time.” Vega takes on Asuka in a rematch for the title after the break! It’s championship Monday!
