WWE Raw

-Commentators:  Michael Cole & Pat McAfee, then Joe Tessitore.
-Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez d. Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria & "The Man" Becky Lynch to win the Women's Tag Team Titles when Liv pinned Lyra after the ObLIVion(rebound Flatliner) (8:56 aired).  Becky turned on Lyra after the match.
-An impromptu World Tag Team Title match between new champs The New Day(Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) and The Alpha Academy(Otis Dozovic & "The Stamina Monster" Akira Tozawa)(w/ Maxxine Dupri) never officially started as Alexander Rusev made his return and beat up Otis & Tozawa while New Day ran away.
-World Women's Champion "The Genius Of The Sky" Io Shirai d. NXT Women's Champion "The Dark Angel" Stephanie Vaquer by DQ(non-title) when "The Prodigy" Roxanne Perez attacked Io (10:55 aired).  Vaquer confronted Roxanne but was blindsided by "The Beautiful Madness" Giulia Matsudo...that brought out "The Eradicator" Rhea Ripley to run off Roxanne.  Rhea and Giulia stared each other down before Giulia left the ring.
-"The King General" GUNTHER Hahn confronted the commentators over their support of new World Champion "Main Event" Jey Uso...he attempted to choke out Cole with the sleeper only for McAfee to intervene, but that got McAfee choked out by GUNTHER's sleeper before General Manager "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce, referees, and officials restored order.  Joe Tessitore filled in for McAfee on commentary.
-"Dirty" Dominik Misterio(w/ "The Prince" Finn Bálor & Carlito Colón) d. PENTA to retain the Intercontinental Title; "The Irish Ace" J.D. McDonagh returned to shove PENTA off the top rope behind the referee's back, allowing to finish with the 619 and frog splash (4:59 aired).  Bálor acted like he didn't know McDonagh was returning; Women's Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez celebrated with the rest of the fully reunited Judgment Day.
-C.M. Punk and "The Original Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns attempted to confront Seth "Freakin'" Rollins in the closing segment of the show, but Seth got an assist from new Paul Heyman guy Bron Breakker in taking out both of his adversaries.
-Tomorrow night on NXT:  Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Chemical X(Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley) for the Women's Tag Team Titles, plus Stephanie Vaquer vs. Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Title.
