WWE RAW Results For June 28, 2021

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results, highlights, winners and reactions for the June 28th, 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.

Tonight’s show will feature a six-woman match in which Raw Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley, will team with Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke to take on Charlotte Flair and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Natalya & Tamina. And the main event will be a huge Triple Threat between AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre to find out which man will enter the Money In The Bank ladder match.

Of course, that isn’t all for tonight’s show. WWE hasn’t announced much for the show but we do know Kofi Kingston will confront the All Mighty Bobby Lashley. Last week Lashley beat Xavier Woods in a Hell In A Cell and battered him in front of Kingston after the fact, so it’s fair to assume Kofi will be a bit angry tonight.

That’s the 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

RAW opens with Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce backstage. They announce that, due to circumstances beyond their control. Randy Orton is unable to compete in the main event Triple Threat tonight. So, they will be opening the show with an over-the-top-rope battle royale to determine who will replace him in the match. Riddle rolls on on his scooter with an urgent letter from Randy Orton. Pearce reads the letter aloud and it says Riddle, his best friend, should take Randy’s place but it’s obviously written by Riddle himself. Riddle says he wants to take Randy’s place, he can compete in his stead and if he wins Orton gets the place at Money In The Bank. Pearce and Deville are down and Riddle makes his way to the ring.

*Commercial Break*

AJ Styles and Omos are interviewed backstage and AJ isn’t happy about Riddle getting put in the main event. He says his chances of winning have gone down and Omos has to work overtime to protect him. Omos says he didn’t interfere tonight, he was just scouting the competition. Styles says Omos just did what the Vikings did to him last week. Tonight he’s the only man at 100% and he will take advantage of that. Then he will win the briefcase and he’ll have a year to plan the perfect cash-in.

Nikki Cross is backstage and she talks about how she wants to be an inspiration to everyone. She says she wants to become the Women’s Champion but she’s taking it one goal at a time. She calls herself Nikki ASH (Almost A Super Hero), and she’s announced as that.

Winner: Nikki Cross

We see a replay of last week when Kofi Kingston challenged Bobby Lashley to a match at MITB. Lashley then demolished Woods inside Hell In A Cell.

*Commercial Break*

Kofi Kingston comes to the ring. Kofi says there are certain moments in our lives that change us for the better or worse. He’s not sure how last week has affected him yet. Hearing Woods screaming in pain was torture. He says Woods came out and had his back like he always does. People have been disrespecting Woods for a long time but he showed everyone last week what kind of a competitor he is and it’s time he got some respect. Kingston says he will make Bobby pay and take everything from him at MITB.

MVP comes out to the stage with a few ladies but no Lashley. MVP says Kofi thinking he will beat Lashley is ridiculous, and he says a lot of ridiculous stuff. MVP says Kofi is a feel-good story but he’s no threat to the All-Mighty. And Lashley wants Kofi to know that Lashley enjoyed every second of what he did to Woods last week. MVP says what Lesnar did to Kofi will be child’s play when Lashley is done. Kofi says Bobby is getting soft and, if it wasn’t for MVP grabbing McIntyre’s foot, we’d have a new Champion right now. Kofi says he’s already beat Lashley and he’s looking more beatable than ever. Each week a layer of that all mighty is being stripped away.

Kofi says Lashley might even look like MVP by the end; hobbling around in overpriced suits holding onto some semblance of success. MVP says he and Lashley put in the work and rose to the top of the mountain, and he does what he does because Bobby deserves it. Kofi says he deserves it as well, he never took a day off when he was Champion; took the title to Africa to show the kids what was possible. He’s living proof. And he defended the title every week. Lashley is on vacations during his reign. He’s distracted with women. His eyes are off the prize and he’s gonna lose it in three weeks.

MVP says Kofi went to Africa to feed his ego. He appreciates Kofi’s optimism but Woods was optimistic last week and he couldn’t even make it to work tonight. And he is fairly certain Kofi won’t be at work for a while after MITB. Kofi says Woods will be at work next week because he’s a real man, unlike MVP who has been milking a knee injury for six months. MVP says he’s legitmately hurt and it’s a good job, because if he were cleared to cmpete he’d whoop Kofi right now. Kingston drops his mic and goes out towards MVP, who swings his cane at him but Kofi ducks and hits Trouble In Paradise. Kofi shouts at MVP that he wasn’t too hurt last week but he is now.

We see the recent happenings with Eva Marie and Doudrop. We see the duo walking backstage and they get asked what happened. Marie says Doudrop made a rookie mistake and she was overwhelmed by being at the forefront of the Evaloution. Marie requested another match for tonight so Doudrop can learn from her.

*Commercial Break*

Asuka jumps on Doudrop’s back with a submission. Doudrop hits a jawbreaker to force the break, then looks for a tag but Eva jumps off the apron. Asuka looks for a roll-up but Doudrop kicks out and hits a senton. Dourdrop hits Naomi, then hits a running crossbody to Asuka for the win.

Winners: Eva Marie & Doudrop

After the match, Eva grabs a microphone and announces herself as the winner. Doudrop isn’t very happy.

Miz and Morrison are backstage and asked about Morrison’s chances of winning the MITB briefcase. Miz says Morrison is guaranteed to win because he’s already won the match more than once. He’s a master tactician and he sees everything. Ricochet interrupts and Miz pretends like he knew he was there. Ricochet steals their drip-stick and sprays them with it.

*Commercial Break*

The match gets underway and they trade strikes and reversals. Ricochet hits a body slam and a leaping elbow for a one-count. Morrison backs Ricochet into the corner and beats him, then hits a unique heel kick. Ricochet fights out of a submission and knocks Morrison from the ring, then hits a baseball slide.

Morrrison sits on the barricade to avoid a dive and mocks him, but Ricochet hits an insane springboard crossbody to send them both over the barricade! Both men get counted out.

Double Count-Out

Charlotte, Tamina and Natalya are backstage. Charlotte says they might not like each other but they have respect. The three of them know what it means to carry a legacy, unlike their opponents tonight. Natalya says she’s already made Mandy Rose tap-out, so it will be easy to do it again tonight. Charlotte says they’ll show that respect isn’t given, it’s earned.

Winners: Charlotte Flair, Natalya & Tamina

As soon as the match ends, Ripley chop blocks Flair from behind and high-tails it as the Queen stares in in fury.

We see Jaxson Ryker backstage, slapping himself with a strap. R-Truth runs past but stops and asks him why he’s doing it. Ryker says he’s preparing himself. He and Elias will be bound together. He’s purging himself of weakness and finding out where to inflict the most pain. Truth asks to borrow the strap to lasso Tozawa but Ryker ignores him and beats himself some more. The strap match is up next.
