Randy Orton has run Ruffshod in 2020, brutally attacking anyone and everyone coming on his bad side. On Monday’s version of the WWE Row, the tables were turned, however, with WWE Champion Drew Mi Kinter putting the attacks on defense.
McIntyre was released with a broken jaw just weeks before a series of Orton attacks and was forced out of the area by ambulance, after which McIntyre followed Thornton’s script on Monday. McIntyre attacked Orton three times during the show, in which three clamors landed and injured Orton’s jaw as he was being taken “The Viper” out of the arena in an ambulance.

Drew McIntyre sought his return
Ort opened the show to discuss whether he was forced to face Keith Lee again, pointing to two more crossed paths and more likely to kick Lee in the head. Orton’s attention shifted to McCintier, who will be showing off his match in the Champions League. If McIntyre is able to clean up medically. That means, he said, if I can’t defend the Cintier title, he should be awarded the championship on a pay-per-view. Minter then showed up to drive the ambulance and quickly hit Orton to keep him in the ring. McIntyre was confronted by WWE officials after the attack, agreeing to leave because he had already done what he had to do there. McIntyre continued to explore the reasons why Adam Pierce repeatedly tried to get him out of the building because he did not leave the rest of the show.
Randy Orton Def. Keith Lee by incompetence After a run-in by McIntyre. Lee looked strong again for most of the match, but in the end he fell victim to RKO by Orton. As Orton was about to go to the pin, McIntyre ran and hit Clemor to get Orton out and draw inaccuracies. Pierce spoke to McIntyre about putting himself at risk as he walked up the entry ramp because he was not medically clear. Irton continued to sell the injured jaw, as McIntyre avenged his own fractured jaw. Later in the show, McIntyre attacked Orton backstage before delivering the show’s third clamor, causing Orton to be taken out of the building in an ambulance.
There was no reason to book Lee against Ton Turn again. The match has taken place twice in the last two weeks and Lee is placed in the position of “second person”, he favors. It ended in two similar routes out of three seats, although tonight’s match was left with the feeling that Lee Klein would lose after taking one of the safest finishers in the WWE, RKO. There’s some logic to effectively repeating Ton Rton’s attack on him in the middle, but it wasn’t the best trip through the show and most likely “WWE safety just can’t fix anything.” Absolute average content that doesn’t do ton ton’s tremendous 2020 or Lee’s position as a new force justice. Grade: C +
Mysteries get revenge on Murphy
The Mysterio family was interviewed in Ray, with Ray saying he had no timetable for recovering from a triceps injury. As Dominic tried to talk about it as if to represent his family in the WWE, Murphy interrupted Tron. Murphy blames Mysterios for causing Seth Rollins – a man who picked him up when he was down – to turn his back. Murphy then challenged Dominic to upgrade his match to a street fight, which Dominic accepted.
Dominic Mysterio Def. Murphy by oral presentation After a series of candy stick shots. During the match, the Mysterio family was on the ringside holding cando sticks. Murphy dominated most of the match, with Dominic being brutalized with a variety of weapons, including some brutal chair shots. Murphy cut off Dominic’s attempt to comeback and tied him to the rope before grabbing the cando stick, but Ray stole the stick. Instead Murphy chose to go out and grab the table, but the Mysterio women let Dominic out of the rope, allowing Dominic to get out of the ring and hit the sunset flip bomb on the table. The Dominic, Ray and Mysterio women then hit Murphy with a wide range of cando stick shots as he was tied to a rope until Murphy left. The show ended as the Mysterio family continued to hit Murphy with cando stick shots.
In a weak show, the ending was firm, with a cathartic moment for the Mysterio family. Murphy was left on an island due to the lack of Rollins and that number was exceeded, which was beneficial to Rollins and Murphy for a few months. The show-end visuals of Murphy being brutalized by Mysterios was a wonderful moment, even if this one we’ve seen in the last few weeks and months falls firmly into the long line of matches we’ve seen in one form or another.

What else happened on WWE Raw?
-
Hurt Business Def. By Ricochet, Cedric Alexander and Apollo Cruz Pinf fall l After Shelton hit Pedert on Benjamin Crew. Hurt Business hit a pioneer to say hello when they entered the arena and then attacked Alexander during his entrance. Alexander then turned around during the match, attacked Ricochet and put the crew out with a lumbar check. Alexander’s turn was long overdue and the whole angle needed to be refreshed.
-
Street profit. Android and Angel Garza by Pinfall After Montez Ford cashed out on Android. Andrade and Zelina Vega overtook Garza during his entry, Garza was granted bail on his team’s moments after the start of the match and won in less than two minutes in profit. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura then “invaded” the SmackDown Tchag Champs. Cesaro and Nakamura issued a champion vs. champion challenge for next week’s raw.
-
Peyton Royce Def. Pinf by Billy K.L. After the corkscrew neckbreaker. Royce won and hugged his former iconics partner. If there was an issue with participating in the team that Royce had to give a run to, it ended here. Not a strong match.
-
Asuka and Mickey James Def. Submitted by Natalya and Lana After Asuka locked Lana in Asuka locked. James and Asuka played a little head in the match, stealing tussles from each other, but turned out to be a fairly easy win.
-
Hurt Business Def. Ricochet, Apollo Cruise and The Viking Riders. Alexander appeared at the VIP lounge to explain his turn, then Viking riders, ricochet and crew came running and attacked, leading to the match. Alexander should leave the doubts of Shelton Benjamin about his turn on his head. Ricochet exited at two ending to set up a completely unnecessary rematch. Iver may also have injured his hand on a suicide dive, which is the kind of signal he gave during the match and attended after his conclusion.
-
Kevin Owens and Alistair Blake fought on the raw underground, And it was spread across many sections instead of showing it in its entirety. Dabba-Kato pulled both out after the exit, which in the really miserable segment failed to do anything.
-
Riot Squad Def. Shayna Basler by Pinfial After the roll-up. This was the first match of a 2-on-1 handicap match. Basler dominated until a surprise roll-up win by Liv Morgan.
-
Revenge interrupted Riot Squad vs. Nia Jax. In the middle of the match, the lights flickered before the retribution graphics appeared on the Thunderdom screens. The group then cut the promo briefly, touching on their motivations a bit and saying that they are out to punish the WWE for leaving them in a cold, cruel world and will try to punish any superstars and fans who buy what sells to the WWE.
