Tuesday RAW November 12

Raw: 12/11/24

Channel: Foxtel WWE Channel/Kayo/Binge

With Crown Jewel in the past and Survivor Series on the way RAW would put truly start the build into the PLE. The first official match would get anounced tonight and the Women’s Wargames Match gets roughly comfirmed in the main event. Inside the RAW roster tensions are rising between the New Day and Bronson Reed continues his pursuit on Seth Rollins.

Damian Priest Confronts Gunther

Gunther would start this week’s RAW focused on the number 1 contender Damian Priest. Before Gunther could start though Priest would interrupt him by predicting what Gunther insult him with and bring up Finn’s interference the last time they met. Priest would continue by telling Gunther that his vibe is fading, especially after his loss at Crown Jewel. Gunther was speechless and Priest kept pushing by telling Gunther anyone else would’ve swung at him by now as Gunther continued to say nothing. Ludwig Kaiser would then interrupt as he’d remind Priest that Gunther had already beaten him. Kaiser would continue to insult Priest until Gunther would stop Kaiser from talking but Kaiser wouldn’t have it as he continued to push Priest. Priest would then take out Kaiser as a nervous Gunther watched on and left the ring without touching Priest. This is the first time Gunther has ever appeared weak against an opponent making his chances at Survivor Series seem worrying.

Damage CTRL vs Pure Fusion Collective

With the return of Dakota Kai Damage CTRL would look to get their revenge against Pure Fusion Collective as they were the faction to take her out. Iyo Sky would start the match against Zoe Stark as the crowd could be heard chanting for Iyo. A lot of back and forth early in the match but things would come alive as Dakota Kai would get tagged in as she would take out PFC. Shayna Basler would try and holt her momentum with submissions, but Iyo Sky would break things up. Iyo would then be tagged in as Dakota would help her in taking out Shayna as Iyo would hit the Over the Moonsault to win the match.

Kofi Kingston VS Pete Dunne

Kofi would get into a confrontation earlier in the night leading to this matchup. Kofi would go on to dominate most of the match until Pete Dunne found himself on the outside of the ring. The ref would turn his attention to Kingston as Xavier Woods would take out Pete Dunne with a clothesline. Kofi would see this and argue with Woods allowing Pete Dunne to recover. Dunne would take advantage of the distracted Kofi to score the win. After the match Kofi and Woods would continue to argue as tension continues to rise within the New Day.

Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins brawl

Bronson Reed would call out Seth Rollins saying Seth is one hell of a competitor, but he is a monster willing to do whatever it takes. He’d then bring up the destruction he brought last week and tell Seth to come and get him. Seth would come out charging at Reed, but Seth would end up on his back. They’d then Brawl outside the ring as Seth was set up on the commentary table but was able to use it to his advantage to tackle Reed into the timekeeper’s area. Security would then try and get between the two which would end in the security getting taken out as Reed would dive into security guards from the ring. Eventually, Security would come between the two and break up the fight. Later, Seth would be seen talking to Adam Pearce as a rematch between the two would be announced for next week.

Other Highlights:

• Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa would both ask Seth Rollins to join their War Games teams in War Games.
• Damian Priest would defeat Ludwig Kaiser after the segment earlier in the night
• Sheamus challenged Bron Breakker to a title match next week after their clash on WWE Speed
• The Final Testament took out the Wyatt sicks as Uncle Howdy would laugh at Karrion Kross.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair VS Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

The main event would be for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The match would quickly become chaotic as Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton would run in to interfere with the Tag Champs. Raquel Rodriguez would attempt to use the opportunity to her advantage by pinning Jade Cargill, but Bianca Belair was able to break up the pin. Tiffany Stratton would attempt the distraction again, but Naomi would come and take out Tiffany. Liv Morgan would then go after Naomi and the tag champs taking out Naomi, but Bianca Belair would get to her and hit the KOD to win the match. The chaos would continue though as Nia Jax would charge down the tag champs as Iyo Sky would come out and take out Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax. Naomi, Bianca, Jade and Iyo would then work together to take out Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan as the four women would stand tall. A fun segment leading into the Women’s War Games with the two teams seemingly confirmed.

It was a good show this week with some decent matches and comfirmation on the Women’s War Games match. For the first time in a long time Gunther is being shown as weak which is very unfamilar territory where mean while the New Day seem to be falling apart. Bronson Reed will continue on his war path next week as he faces Seth Rollins again and we’ll also get to see Bron Breakker defend his title against Sheamus.
