WWE RAW Results for March 15, 2021

It’s Monday night and you know what that means: a brand new episode of WWE RAW for March 15th, and Ringside News has you covered with live play-by-play results coverage.

Start time for WWE RAW is at 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.

Tonight’s RAW is the final before the Fastlane PPV on Sunday. Most inmportantly, Bobby Lashley doesn’t yet have a challenger for his WWE Championship. Sure, WWE could just book him Vs. The Miz again but that seemed to be put to rest last week, so who will step-up? And will they also be his WrestleMania opponent? Or will we get a number one contender match? Let us know who you think it will be below!

Speaking of The Hurt Business, Lashley’s cohorts will defend their RAW Tag Team Championships tonight against Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, the New Day. Seems almost certain this match will be a set-up for a second showdown at Fastlane. That isn’t the only title match tonight however, as Mustafa Ali will also challenge for gold in the form of Riddle’s United States Championship. However that also seems like one that will be re-done at the PPV.

Asuka still isn’t cleared to compete and so it’s likely we’ll get a number one contender match at Fastlane with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Peyton Royce, and possibly Rhea Ripley. Shane McMahon continues to make a fool of Braun Strowman and it’s obviously leading to a WrestleMania showdown but we have no idea how they’re going to stretch it out that long. And Sheamus and McIntyre are far from finished with each other. So there’s a lot to look forward to tonight, and we’ll have live coverage right here, all you have to do is click the link below. Enjoy!

RAW

RAW opens with the bombshell announcement that Drew McIntyre will challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania!

Lashley and MVP make their way to the ring in some flashy suits. MVP says he has an official announcement from The Hurt Business: we have entered the All Mighty Era. After 16 years of dedication and decimation, the CEO of The Hurt Business finally got a chance to take the WWE Championship and he did it. Lashley says he proved everyone wrong and got handed nothing along the way. Lashley reminds everyone that he destroyed Drew at Elimination Chamber and says he will do it again at WrestleMania. Then he will destroy everyone else on RAW.

The Miz and John Morrison make their way down the ramp and Miz says Lashley’s speech was inspiring. They say they’re all-in on the All Mighty Era and what branding that is. Miz says he was honored to share the ring with Lashley a few weeks ago but their budding rivalry is far from over. He says all the great rivalries had showdowns at WrestleMania, including Stone Cold and The Rock. Miz says it’s 3:16 week and we’re all celebrating the career of Stone Cold, so for his sake, he thinks they should have a rematch at WrestleMania – Miz did an awful Austin impression. Miz reminds everyone that he had cramps the first time he wrestled Lashley, then asks why he wouldn’t want to face The Miz at 100%?

Drew McIntyre comes out with a sword in hand and points it at Lashley. McIntyre comes down to the ring, passing Miz and Morrison without so much as a look on the ramp. Drew says he wants to congratulate Lashley and says it’s well overdue. He knows the feeling. Both of them were the hardest workers but overlooked time and again and then both left WWE. They scratched and crawled their way back to the top and it feels good. Only difference is, he beat 30 other men to win the Royal Rumble, then beat Brock Lesnar in five minutes. Lashley made a deal with Miz and stole the belt. MVP interrupts and Drew asks him why he’s even here, that MVP used to be Dr. Frankenstein to the monster but now Lashley can speak for himself. Lashley gets angry and tells Drew to worry about him, then Miz says “and me”.

Drew turns around and sees Miz and Morrison on the apron and says he forgot they were there. Drew says Miz needn’t worry, he’s going to beat his ass tonight. Then he’s going to Fastlane to beat Sheamus, then to WrestleMania where he will end the All Mighty Era and regain the WWE Championship from the “big, bald bitch”. Lashley is furious but MVP pulls him back. Miz starts talking and sneaking into the ring and Drew turns towards him, allowing Lashley to jump Drew from behind. Lashley beats on Drew before leaving up the ramp and Miz continues the assault. Sheamus runs out and attacks Lashley until referees pull him away.

*Commercial Break*

Sheamus is backstage and asked why he attacked Lashley. Sheamus says he wants to beat Drew McIntyre this Sunday and he wants him at 100%. He’s sick and tired of Drew and his excuses, and Lashley stuck his nose in Sheamus’ business. So tonight he wants a match against Lashley, and he’ll show the world that he’s the one to beat the All Mighty.

Drew McIntyre Vs. The Miz W/John Morrison

The referee is checking on McIntyre and he says he’s ready to go. The Miz storms Drew in the corner but the Scotsman picks Miz up and runs him into the opposite corner.

McIntyre counts down from three, then this a Claymore but doesn’t cover. Drew lifts Miz and points at the camera, then the WrestleMania sign and applies The Hurt Lock and Miz taps!

A replay is shown of last week when Shane McMahon insulted and made fun of Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men is coming to the ring to confront Shane.

*Commercial Break*

Braun Strowman is in the ring and he demands Shane come out. McMahon comes to the stage and he says he doesn’t understand what Braun wants and why he keeps making demands. Braun says he’s been bullied by guys like Shane his whole life, guys who grew up in mansions and went to Ivy League schools but that doesn’t make him smarter than him. Shane says he’s disgusted by those comments, he would never make fun of someone. Braun calls Shane on his BS and says all he asked for was an apology but instead he made fun of him.

Strowman says he knows Shane is scared of him, that’s why he keeps fumbling over his words. He’s sick of it and he wants a match tonight. Shane says Braun couldn’t handle him and flat-out calls him stupid. He says Braun looks stupid, sounds stupid, talks stupid, and now he knows for sure he is as dumb as they come. Shane compares Braun to a T-Rex and says if that’s what he wants, then tonight it’s the brains Vs. the Braun.

R-Truth is backstage dressed like Stone Cold and he approaches Lana, Naomi, Mandy Rose, and Dana Brooke. Truth copies Austin and they tell him that it’s not 3:16 until tomorrow but he just says “what?”. Truth downs a beer and stomps off.

Shayna Baszler gets off commentary and runs to meet her on the ramp. Asuka ducks Shayna and lands a headkick, then beats her down until Adam Pearce and some officials separate them. Lana hits an X-Factor to Rose but Brooke hits a swinging neckbreaker for the win.

Winners: Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke

Riddle joins Kofi and Woods backstage on his scooter. He wishes them luck for the Tag Team Championship match up next. Kofi thanks him and praises his “steed”. Kofi says tonight they reclaim their place on the mountaintop, then the tree of them can ride off into the sunset after Riddle beats Ali. Riddle says that’s a good point, he thinks they should all get matching tattoos. Kofi says that’s too much, so Riddle says how about matching stallions? They like that idea but their music this and they put the idea on the backburner.
