WWE RAW Results For May 9, 2022

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results, highlights, winners and reactions for the May 9th, 2022 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 WrestleMania Backlash, a show that, on paper didn’t sound all that exciting. That said, the premium live event certainly delivered between the ropes. The show culminated with The Bloodline beating RK-Bro in the main event, which now leaves The Uso’s with a good case for getting a title shot as they aim to unify all the gold. Elsewhere, Cody Rhodes defeated Seth Rollins again, and Omos defeated Bobby Lashley as far as the red brand is concerned.

We’re now heading towards the Hell In A Cell show in June and a lot of stars were absent from the show last night, like Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Theory, etc. We expect we’ll see lots more of them moving forward and they’ll hopefully be factored into the next PPV. Unforunately, WWE has nothing announced for tonight’s RAW, however we im,agine we’ll see The Bloodline, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Omos and MVP, and more.

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!

Monday Night RAW

The show begins with some highlights from last night’s WrestleMania Backlash, the main event of which saw The Bloodline defeat RK-Bro and Drew McIntyre.

The RAW Tag Team Champions, RK-Bro. make their way to the ring where they will be defending their Championships against The Street Profits. Orton takes the microphone and the fans chant his name. He welcomes us to Monday Night RAW and says they lost the battle last night… but they will win the war. Orton says nothing was on the line last night because the big dog himself tore up the contract. And he did that because he knows his boys can’t hold a candle to RK-Bro.

Orton says The Uso’s got them thinking they’d like to be Undisputed Tag Team Champions. Riddle says he and Randy will be going to SmackDown this Friday to see the tribal chief and demand a title match. And if he says no, it goes to show the chief has no confidence or faith in his family. But it doesn’t matter because they’re going to show up regardless.

The Street Profits come out and interrupt RK-Bro and mock them for losing. Ford says RK-Bro think they’re going to SmackDown on Friday but tonight they have next. They’re the ones that are going to unify the Tag Team Championships. Dawkins says the 4-20 shirts have their brains fogged because they must have forgot they’re facing them right now. Ford says they want the smoke but Riddle says “…RK-Bro 4:20 says we just smoked your asses.” This match is next!

We see a replay of Edge Vs. AJ Styles from last night’s WrestleMania Backlash. Edge got the win thanks to Rhea Ripley, the newest member of The Judgement Day.

The Judgement Day are in the ring and Edge says they formed because they were tired being sheep. What did being a sheep get him? A spot in the Hall of Fame? He’s bigger than the Hall of Fame. There isn’t a part of him that hasn’t had a surgery and it left him on the sideline for nine years. He came back, played the role again, and what happened? The ugly fans got on their cheap phones and Tweeted crap about him.

Priest says nothing or no-one can touch The Judgement Day. Individually, they’re better than all of the rest but together they’re something else. They were incredible when it was just him and Edge, but imagine how much better they’re going to be now that they’ve added an instrument of brutality. Ripley says joining The Judgement Day was the easiest decision of her life.

Rhea saw Edge and Priest change for the better and she wanted that for herself. She’s done singing autographs at the airport for kids that say they want to be like her when they grow up. The same kids sell her autographs on eBay. She’s done being used, but she has some unfinished business. Liv Morgan will no longer ride her coattails.

Edge says this group is all about unrealised potential. Ripley and Priest are his saints of faith, two souls that needed a rudder and he is that rudder. Edge says he approached Ripley a few weeks ago and told her that Morgan was holding her back. He looked at Ripley and he saw a juggernaut that could run over anyone but was content in the slow lane. now she has been unleashed. But his movement is not done, they aren’t finished and they want more souls. Liv Morgan interrupts.
