WWE RAW Results – October 5, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of WWE RAW as we head closer to Hell in a Cell on Oct. 25.

Tonight’s main event will see WWE Champion Drew McIntyre team up with the Street Profits to battle Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton. McIntyre successfully defended his title in an open challenge last week against a returning Roode. He and Ziggler, his tag team partner, will look for revenge tonight alongside Orton.

Bray Wyatt will also be on RAW tonight as part of the brand-to-brand invitational. He’s been invited as a guest on the KO Show with Kevin Owens, after The Fiend attacked Owens last week on SmackDown. Look for Alexa Bliss to potentially factor in as well, as she summoned The Fiend during her appearance on Friday’s KO Show.

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

Tom Phillips welcomes us to the WWE ThunderDome and lays out the key headlines.

Backstage with Randy Orton. He said he didn’t leave Clash of Champions with the WWE title, instead he left in an ambulance. He says he doesn’t remember much, but he does remember The Big Show, Christian, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair all getting involved. “In those moments, I saw nothing but complete darkness. I felt nothing but excruciating pain.” Orton recalls seeing McIntyre celebrating with the four legends last week and them playing poker after. This is essentially a recap of what’s happened over the last eight days from Orton’s perspective.

Orton adds that last week when he attacked the legends, he gave a “much needed re-introduction to the legend killer.” Each of the men saw the “same darkness” that Orton saw. Orton says he enjoyed seeing their agony. He notes that he smashed both of Big Show’s hands and put him through a poker table, then he dropped Christian, saying “say hi to Edge for me.” Orton then “kicked Michaels’ skull in” and let Flair “meet his fate.” He says he wishes he could’ve seen the look on McIntyre’s face when you cross the legend killer. He adds that the bill hasn’t been paid in full, not until he’s once again WWE Champion. “This isn’t over until I say it’s over. Drew McInytre still has hell to pay.” Orton says if McIntyre wants to cement his legacy, he needs to beat him one more time inside Hell in a Cell.

Oh snap, McIntyre just bashed the door in and is attacking Orton. He asks what Orton knows about hell as he lays fists in. Officials come in to break things up. Hot start to the show. Commercial break!
