Welcome to Ringside News’ live results, highlights, winners and reactions for the November 22nd 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.
Survivor Series took place last night and WWE RAW won the night with a scoreline of 5-2 over SmackDown. That said, there didn’t seem to be much score-keeping on behalf of WWE so maybe that’s irrelevant this year. Regardless, RAW’s men and women teams prevailed over SmackDown’s, but the WWE Champion, Big E, was beaten by Roman Reigns. We should get the fallout from these matches tonight, as well as some new feuds starting ahead of the TLC PPV next month.
Unfortunately, WWE hasn’t announced any matches or segments ahead of time tonight, which usually indicates a hectic atmosphere backstage. One thing we do know, is that both the RAW and SmackDown rosters will be present as Adam Pearce and Vince McMahon try to figure out who stole Cleopatra’s egg from Vince’s office last night. Who knows what that might entail but with Vince on hand it should be fun if nothing else.
And 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!
Monday Night RAW opens with Vince McMahon sitting in his office with Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce and an empty box. We see a replay of last night when Vince arrived at the arena with Cleopatra’s egg, a very expensive gift from The Rock, which was then stolen.
Vince isn’t happy because Pearce or Deville hasn’t found the egg or the culprit. He can’t believe someone stole from him! Vince says if they can’t find the egg by the end of tonight, Pearce and Deville are going to be fired. Pearce says they do think it’s a Superstar and Deville says they have blurry security footage of bare legs but that’s it. Vince says if someone can bring him the culprit, they’ll get a title shot against Big E tonight!
Randy Orton is interviewed backstage and asked where Riddle is. Orton says Riddle could get lost in his own house but it’s not like him to miss a match. He says last time he saw him they’d just beaten The Uso’s. Riddle then appears with the same faical hair and clothes as Randy but the facial hair is glued on. He says he’s trying to be Orton, and he even talks like him. Orton says he told him to act like him, not be him but Riddle tells them to hit the music and makes his way to the ring.
*Commercial Break*
The match starts and Ziggler hits a single-leg and pins Riddle for a one-count. They lock-up and this time Riddle takes him down with a cross armbar but Ziggler rolls him over for a two-count. Ziggler takes Riddle down again, then releases and connects with a dropkick for a two-count, then fish-hooks Riddle and rips his fake moustache and goatee off.
Riddle gets angry and beats Dolph into the corner before spinning him around in circles and hitting a gutwrench suplex. Dolph rolls outside and Riddle jumps over the ropes at him but gts caught with a superkick! Roode and Ziggler pose like Orton to mock him as we head to the break.
*Commercial Break*

Riddle rushes back in and Dolph catches him with a Fameasser for a near-fall. Ziggler delivers some kicks and knees, then goes to the corner and stomps up the band but Riddle counters the superkick with a switch knee. Riddle drops down and punches the mat like Randy, then hits an RKO for the win!
As soon as the match ends, Roode rushes inside but Orton intercepts him. Orton hands Riddle his moustache back and hits Roode with the Bro-Derek. RK-Bro pose and the fans go nuts.
We go backstage and Superstars are losing it, searching for Cleopatra’s egg. Rhea Ripley, Cedric Alexander, the Viking Raiders, etc, are flipping tables and throwing things all over. R-Truth thinks he’s found it but it’s a football. Truth opens a door and it’s the woman’s changing room and he gets stuff thrown at him.
The RAW Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, comes to the ring. We see highlights of her incredible match with Charlotte Flair from Survivor Series, which Lynch won by rolling her up and holding the ropes. Lynch will speak after the break.
*Commercial Break*
Big Time Becks is in the ring and the fans are changing her name. Becky says she’s had some of the biggest moments of her career in Brooklyn, like three years ago when she slapped Charlotte across the face and became The Man. And last night was the culmination of almost a decade of hurt and betrayal. She says she wanted to maim Charlotte and she wanted to do the same to her, and the fans loved every minute of it.
Lynch says that chapter is over and it’s time for something fresh and new. Lynch asks who the fans want to see next and she floats out some names that get cheers from the fans, Liv Morgan receiving the biggest pop. Lynch says she used to care what they thought but now she knows they’re full of crap. They say they want something new but she watched ten women break their backs last night and the fans did nothing but chant and wave.
Lynch says she actually agrees with them though because none of those women have what it takes. And the fans are cheering for Morgan because she’s the new underdog. Lynch says Liv Morgan has won one match in four years and she definitely doesn’t have what it takes. She has a death-grip on the title and nobody is getting it from her. Lynch poses with the belt and leaves.
We see some highlights of last night’s women’s tag team Survivor Series match, in which Bianca Belair was the sole survivor for RAW. Belair makes her way to the ring. She says last night she was able to win the match because of the love from the fans. And she proved that she is the fastest, the quickest, the toughest, the roughest, and the best. Belair says maybe now Doudrop will find something better to do with her time than come for her.
*Commercial Break*
The match begins and Tamina forces Belair backwards to the ropes. Belair breaks away and flips over Tamina before taunting her. Belair hits a dropkick and a suplex, then dances with her hair.

Seth Rollins comes to the ring and he’s in a great mood after being the sole survivor for Team RAW. He says he did what he was born to do: put the show on his shoulders and carry it to victory.

Balor fights back and sends Rollins out of the ring, then dives over the ropes onto him. Balor runs around to dropkick Seth but gets caught and dropped on the barricade. Seth throws Balor over the announce desk, then stomps him repeatedly as the fans sing his music again.
Rollins lifts the steel steps and hits Balor with them, then gets him back inside and hits The Stomp. Rollins makes his way up the ramp but turns and comes back down to hit a second Stomp. Seth heads up the ramp again and a fan hops the railing and tackles him to the ground! The camera cuts away and we see relays of Seth’s beating of Balor. Rollins is standing on the stage with a busted lip when we return.
Backstage everyone is still running around manic, looking for Cleopatra’s egg. Sami Zayn is in Vince McMahon’s office and Vince asks why he’s here. Zayn says he just wants to calrify that if he has the details he can get a title match and Vince confirms it. Zayn says he knows who took it. He’s almost certain. 95% sure. Vince tells him to bring them in but Zayn says they aren’t at the building yet and McMahon rolls his eyes and tells him to come back when he has them.
*Commercial Break*
Kevin Owens is backstage with a flashlight looking for the egg. He gets stopped for an interviewed and asked why he abandonded his team last night. Owens brushes that off and says he’s been looking for the egg and that’s a pretty big deal, but if he isn’t the one to bring it to Vince he’ll be playing close attention to who does.
AJ starts against Ford and backs him into the corner but Montez fights back and tags Dawkins for a double-team. Styles avoids a second double-team and tags Omos and the Profits look scared. They bail from the ring and try to come up with a strategy on how to fight the colossus.

After the bell, Styles springboards at Dawkins but he gets sprayed with the extinguisher as well! The Profits high-tail it and Omos is furious.

The Mysterio’s come to the ring where Lashley is waiting. Before the match starts, MVP grabs a microphone and says he respects the Hell out of Rey Mysterio. He’s a giant in the industry but as a father he leaves a lot to be desired. Rey has faced a lot of monsters but none like Lashley, so what is he going to do when Dominik is in the Hurt Lock?
