WWE Monday Night Raw results, recap and highlights: October 17, 2022

The O.C. also got themselves booked into a match against judgment Day at the same event, while Women’s Tag Team Champions were in action and so was Seth Rollins, who defended his United States Title in the main event of the night.

Check out the recap and results from the October 17 episode of Monday Night Raw that took place at the Paycom Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

– WWE Raw was kicked off with an irate Bobby Lashley already standing in the ring to call out Brock Lesnar for costing him the United States Championship, last week.

Brock come out and an immediate brawl broke out between the two. Brock had the early upper-hand at first, but Lashley countered by spearing Brock through the barricade at ringside.

Lashley then hit a spear on Brock on top of the announce table. Wrestlers and Referees had to come out to separate these two but Lashley managed to put Lesnar through the announce table with a Spine Buster before leaving.

– The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson with AJ Styles aka The O.C.) defeated Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) in a tag team match. Anderson hit Gable with a Spine Buster before tagging in Gallows to connect with the Magic Killer for the pin to win.

Judgment Day came out after the match to confront The O.C. The leader of Judgment Day, Finn Balor challenged them to a match at Crown Jewel which was accepted.

AJ Styles then addressed Dominik Mysterio for turning on his father Rey Mysterio. Dominik accepted a challenge laid out by Styles for a singles contest, later that night.

– Seth Rollins celebrated becoming the new United States Champion but Mustafa Ali interrupted and said Seth should thank Brock Lesnar for the assistance. Ali said he wanted a shot against Seth for the US Title since the former champion Lashley promised him a Title match.

Seth declined any kind of opportunity as Ali took Seth’s glasses off and tossed them. Seth suddenly attacked him to create a brawl. He stood tall by sending Ali face-first into the ring post.

– WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY (with Bayley) defeated Candice LeRae and RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair in a tag team match.

Bayley grabbed a kendo stick from under the ring, but Belair took her out and sent her over to the announce desk. After coming back to the ring, Kai got the tag and performed her new finisher for the pin to win.

– The Miz claimed in a backstage segment that he fell on a wet floor and injured his knee and hence he can’t compete in his scheduled match against Dexter Lumis.
