WWE RAW Results For June 21, 2021

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results, highlights, winners and reactions for the 21st, 2021 episode of WWE RAW.

Start time for tonight’s show is 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page, so you should update frequently to get the latest happenings. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.

Last night was WWE Hell In A Cell and tonight we’ll see all the fallout. Bobby Lashley retained the WWE Championship over Drew McIntyre – with a fair bit of help from MVP – Alexa Bliss defeated Shayna Baszler in a surprisingly straightforward match, and Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair battled to a weird disqualification finish. So what happens tonight?

Well, truth be told, we have no idea. WWE hasn’t announced anything about tonight’s RAW, which usually implies they’re running close to the wire with a plan. We do know tonight will mark the start of the build towards Money In The Bank, and the All Mighty WWE Champion is in need of a new challenger. Flair and Ripley seems destined to continue and we’re sure to get more shenanigans from RK-Bro, but it’s all guesswork right now. Who do you want to see challenge Lashley next? Let us know below.

That’s the sparse preview for tonight’s RAW. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!

RAW

We’re live in the ThunderDome and the Hell In A Cell is still hanging above the ring. Tonight we will see five qualifying matches for the Money In The Bank ladder matches. The All Mighty WWE Champion, Bobby Lashley, makes his way to the ring with MVP and some lady friends.

MVP welcomes us to the V.I.P Lounge and Lashley says he went through Hell last night. He says Drew McIntyre almost took him to his limits but he still walked away as the All Mighty WWE Champion. MVP calls for a toast to the Champ but they get interrupted by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods and they’re pushing a cart with toast on it. Kofi and Woods say they wanted to be a part of the toast and they throw the bread at Lashley and MVP. Kofi talks trash about the ladies and MVP, saying none of the will want Lashley once he’s no longer Champion.

Lashley says that hardly matters because he’s never losing that title. Especially to someone like Kofi, who’s too busy dancing and making pancakes to be taken seriously. Lashley says there is a hierarchy in the world and he’s far higher on the pole than him. Kofi says that’s funny, it’s almost like Lashley doesn’t remember when he beat Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. Or how about last month when he pinned Lashley in that very ring. We see a replay of that and Kofi challenges Lashley to a match for the title.

Lashley accepts and says they seemed to forget McIntrye got invovled back then. So he wants to ensure their title match is a one-on-one, and tonight he wants Woods in a match. Xavier says he knows they’re meatheads and they don’t think he’s on the same level as Kofi but he was there when Kofi won the title and he’s an 11X WWE Tag Team Champion. He begs Lashley to underestimate him and says he accepts… but the match will be inside Hell In A Cell!

The RAW Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles and Omos, come to the ring. We see a video from earlier today when Styles and Omos badmouthed the Viking Raiders and said they got lucky last night. They say they beat them once and they’ll do it again.

AJ Styles W/OMos Vs. Ricochet

The Viking Raiders rush down the ramp and try to double-team Omos. Styles is distracted and watching as Omos gets side-stepped and crashes through the barricade. AJ jumps for the Phenomenal Forearm but gets caught with the Recoil and that’s that!

Winner: Ricochet

Riddle appraoches Orton backstage holding RK-Bro hear. Riddle says he wants to win the Money In The Bank briefcase so that he has somewhere to store his stash. Randy asks what stash and Riddle says his whoppers because he’s already worried about losing them and he’s afraid of the Burger King. He asks an angry Orton if he has any advice and Riddle tells him to stay out of his way. Riddle says he won’t be able to do that if they’re both in the match, and it wouldn’t it be awesome if they were both vying for the briefcase? Orton says “not for you” and walks off.

*Commercial Break*

We get a trailer for Fast & Furious 77 and John Cena speaks about why the movie is worth seeing.

Eva Marie and Piper Niven are interviewed backstage. Eva says it’s been five years since she’s been in WWE ring and everything had to be perfect. She went and got a mani-pedi and caught a cold, so she wasn’t able to compete. She knew how excited everyone was, so she brought her protege to take her place. When asked what her name is, Eva Marie interjects and says her name is “Doudrop”.

Naomi and Asuka make their entrances and we get a split-screen promo in which Naomi explains that she wasn’t ready for Doudrop last week and she fell. But they can never extinguish the glow. Eva and Doudrop make their entrances next, whichever team wins this match will both qualify for the Women’s Money In The Bank match.

It was the first time she showed that she’s a strategic competitor. But make no mistake about it, she will destroy her next time. Deville makes the rematch official for Money In The Bank.

Earlier today, Tamina and Natalya were interviewed backstage but Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke were loudly wrestling nearby – a repeat of last week. Rose says they’re sharpening their skills, just like they told them. Nattie and Tamina tell them that they’re Champions and they have responsibilities, something they’d know nothing about. Rose and Brooke goad them into the ring, then knock them off the apron and laugh at them.
