WWE Raw results: KO pays for his insistence on fighting alone

Live WWE Raw results for March 13, 2023 from Providence, with Solo Sikoa trying to take out Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes facing LA Knight.

Things haven’t gone so well for the Bloodline as they attempt to get rid of the pests named Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, who continue to hassle them despite being clear (on KO’s part, anyway) that they aren’t going to join forces and work together. But maybe the right person just hasn’t been unleashed yet, and Solo Sikoa might be that person tonight on WWE Raw in Providence.

Not only is Sikoa the most physically intimidating member of the Bloodline other than the Tribal Chief himself, he’s also the least likely to question orders. That means he’ll be right at home trying to take out Owens during a Street Fight, though those kinds of matches are also no DQ, so … sorry, just thinking out loud.

Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania opponent will also be in action this week. Cody Rhodes has drifted more and more into the direct path of the Bloodline, so he’ll want to watch his back while also staying focused on defeating LA Knight.

Two more matches either confirmed or expected for WrestleMania should take another step forward this week. Brock Lesnar has already given his blessing to a showdown with Omos, but we’ll actually see them in the same ring on Raw. And the same should be true of Finn Balor and Edge after the latter’s challenge, so maybe they’ll decide to make a Mania moment official as well.

With three additional matches being promoted, it’s safe to say this episode of Raw is loaded up. That’s good news if you decide to tune in tonight at 8 p.m. on USA to bear witness to all of it, but even if you can’t, that’s what we’ll be doing tonight at that time so we can bring you live WWE Results as they take place. ‘Cause that’s how we do.

WWE Raw results in 90 seconds:

  • Edge and Finn Balor agree to Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania
  • Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest def. Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis by pinfall
  • Cathy Kelley wants to know if The Miz would consider a WrestleMania co-host, but they’re distracted by Damage CTRL beating the crap out of Trish Stratus backstage
  • Omos and Brock Lesnar are in the same ring, at the same time, where Brock decides that yes, Omos is very big
  • Cody Rhodes def. LA Knight by pinfall …
  • … and gets some mic time for another passionate promo about how personal his WrestleMania quest is
  • How does Seth Rollins feel about getting KOed by Logan Paul? Better after he gets and accepts a challenge from Baron Corbin
  • Bronson Reed def. Elias by pinfall
  • Chad Gable continues searching for Otis, while Becky Lynch and Lita are worried about Trish
  • Kevin Owens wishes Sami Zayn the best but doesn’t need or want help form him or Rhodes
  • We relive the John Cena-Austin Theory segment from last week’s Raw
  • The Street Profits tease Austin Theory about that Cena promo, but he fires back nicely and ends up challenging Angelo Dawkins to a match
  • Austin Theory def. Angelo Dawkins by pinfall
  • Paul Heyman says Rhodes making this personal to Roman Reigns is a mistake he’ll regret, and taunts Cody to acknowledge his Tribal Chief in person next week on Raw
  • Rey Mysterio gets another visit from Dominik Mysterio, who challenges him to a WrestleMania match; Rey still refuses
  • Seth Rollins def. Baron Corbin by pinfall
  • Mustafa Ali wants Gable to be more positive, but he’s not smiling when he finds Otis posing it up with MMM
  • Bianca Belair def. Chelsea Green by pinfall but gets a dose of Asuka mind games afterward
  • Solo Sikoa def. Kevin Owens by pinfall in a Street Fight thanks to assistance from The Usos

Opening Bell: WrestleMania callouts continue, Winnipeg welcomes AEW

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, March 13, Amica Mutual Pavilion, Providence, RI

Eight matches are set for WrestleMania 39, but guess what? That’s not enough to fill up two days of action from SoFi Stadium.

Raw is going to help with that, it appears. Edge wants Finn Balor to face him man to man so they can settle things between them once and for all. Three guesses how this is likely to end, and the first two don’t count. So, uh, one guess, that is.

Brock Lesnar has (somewhat surprisingly) already accepted a WrestleMania meeting with Omos. What we haven’t seen yet is the two men in the same ring so we can all go, “Hey, Omos is way taller than Brock, wow!” We’ll get that opportunity on Raw.

Here’s what else to expect this Monday on USA:

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, March 15, Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg

You may have heard that Candian pro wrestling fans are pretty great. You may have also heard that AEW Dynamite does well when it visits a city for the first time. Both of those things are true, and both are relevant this week when AEW makes its debut in Winnipeg.

The company will try to repay the sure to be live crowd with a big match starring two of its favorite sons. Kenny Omega and The Elite will battle Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society and current titleholders House of Black in a triple threat match for the AEW World Trios Championship.

Orange Cassidy is also done defending his All-Atlantic Championship … because it’s now the AEW International Championship. Jeff Jarrett will attempt to ensure that his reign ends as soon as it begins on Dynamite.

Here’s everything else AEW is promoting for Winnipeg:

  • Hangman Adam Page and the Dark Order (including Canada’s own Stu Grayson) will do the trios thing too against Blackpool Combat Club
  • TBS Champion Jade Cargill will accept an open challenge from any Canadian opponent
  • MJF will have his re-bar mitzvah celebration
  • We’ll hear from The Outcasts, which is what Saraya, Toni Storm and Ruby Soho are now calling themselves
  • QTV will make its debut

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, March 17, T-Mobile Center, Kansas City, MO

One match wasn’t enough to determine who Gunther will face in an Intercontinental Championship defense at WrestleMania. So this week’s SmackDown will attempt to settle that issue, with Sheamus and Drew McIntyre battling for the opportunity.

The two longtime rivals turned friends may be back to their old status quo now after both pinned opponents at the exact same time last week (that was the first match we referred to above). If one can defeat the other man to man, they’ll move on to the title match in L.A. … but we have a feeling there might be more hijinks involved.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, March 17, Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg (recorded March 15)

It’s a holiday edition of sorts for Rampage this week, with the broadcast taking place on St. Patrick’s Day. Even though it’s being pre-taped Wednesday, AEW does an excellent job of celebrating whatever is going on when Rampage actually airs (like it did on NBA All-Star weekend, for example), so it’s no surprise this is being billed as St. Patrick’s Day Slam.

While we know AEW will play up that theme to the hilt, we don’t know yet what matches are booked for Friday night. As is often the case, keep an eye on both the company’s social media accounts and this week’s Dynamite to get more insight.

Opening Bell: Full Gear week, plus a Mizpology

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, November 14, KFC Yum! Center, Louisville, KY

Any show with “Yum!” in the name of the venue can’t help but appear fun (and yes, we know that’s an actual part of the company’s name). What could be truly entertaining is seeing The Miz apologize for what he’s done with regard to Dexter Lumis. But will it be a sincere act of contrition, or simply to save his own hide? History doesn’t make the former a favorite, let’s just say that.

Finn Balor attempted to accept Seth Rollins‘ open challenge for the United States Championship last week but had those plans derailed by The O.C. This week he’ll get his shot at Rollins … but not for the title. Oh well.

Also, Matt Riddle will continue his ongoing feud with Alpha Academy when he goes one-on-one with Chad Gable. We don’t have anything witty to add to this one, so we’ll just say it sounds like a good matchup and there will probably be bongo/weed jokes of some sort involved.

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, November 16, Total Mortgage Arena, Bridgeport, CT

Ayyyyy let’s get some mortgages everyone! Jokes aside, AEW is trying to come into Full Gear hot as it heads to Connecticut for the final Dynamite before Saturday’s PPV.

Two big multi-person matches are on tap. Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli will team up to face Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara just three days before all four of them throw down for Jericho’s ROH World Championship. Plus Death Triangle, which has had some stirrings of internal dissent lately, tries to get on the same page as they take on Top Flight and AR Fox.

(And they may need to be if a certain trio of shadowbanned stars are coming back at Full Gear.)

We’ll hear from both Jon Moxley and MJF ahead of their titanic main event in Newark. The Acclaimed will debut their new music video. Plus more:

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, November 18, XL Center, Hartford, CT

Wow, Connecticut is the center of the pro wrestling world this week, at least for a few days! We know a bit more about what’s going to be in store on SmackDown than we often do at the beginning of the week as well.

For starters, the first round of the SmackDown World Cup isn’t over yet, so Butch and Sami Zayn will have their bout this Friday. It’s also an extension of the beef between the Bloodline and the Brawling Brutes, which just heated up again last week. Another first round match will pit Ricochet against Mustafa Ali in what’s sure to be a high-flying encounter.

In the women’s division, Shotzi earned her shot at Ronda Rousey by emerging from a Six-Pack Challenge match last week, but she immediately ran afoul of the champ and her BFF Shayna Baszler. She’ll get a chance at some payback on SmackDown, at least when it comes to Baszler.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, November 18, Prudential Center, Newark

‘Twas the night before Full Gear, and we have a sense that pretty much everyone will be stirring as the final teeth on the gears lock into place. And there’s a crazy dream match of the type you can hardly believe is on U.S. TV to boot: Eddie Kingston and Ortiz vs. Jun Akiyama and Kunosuke Takeshita. Seriously, read that again and go “wow.”

We actually don’t know what else is on the Rampage slate, but one assumes there might be more tournament matches, and perhaps it will be confirmed The Elite is returning. It’s a Rampage that has more than the typical amount of intrigue, for sure.

Opening Bell: AEW gold on the line on Tuesday, Brock returns to Raw

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, October 17, Paycom Center, Oklahoma City

What does Brock Lesnar want? That’s a valid question after the Beast Incarnate showed up unexpectedly on Raw last week and destroyed Bobby Lashley. We should get more insight into what he’s got his sights set on now when he appears live this week in OKC.

The beneficiary of Lesnar’s attack was Seth Rollins, who defeated an injured Lashley to become the new United States Champion. He’ll get little time to enjoy it, however, as he has to defend it against heated rival Matt Riddle on Raw.

Dexter Lumis has popped up more than once without warning to torment The Miz, despite not having a WWE contract. That could change after Raw, as the two men will finally go head to head in an official match, with Lumis earning a deal if he wins.

Also scheduled for this week’s episode of Raw:

AEW Dynamite preview – Tuesday, October 18, Heritage Bank Center, Cincinnati

The MLB Playoffs have claimed TBS for this Wednesday evening, so Dynamite is taking over Tuesday night instead. And it’s from the hometown of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, but he’s not going to have a restful stay at home considering he’s defending his title against Hangman Adam Page.

[listicle id=13196]

But wait, that’s only the first of four, yes four, championship matches scheduled for Dynamite. In what should be a respectful yet fierce encounter, Toni Storm puts her AEW Women’s World Championship on the line against Hikaru Shida. The Ocho, Chris Jericho, will try to fend off a ROH World Championship challenge from Dalton Castle. And the Trios titles will also be up for grabs as Death Triangle defends against Best Friends and Orange Cassidy.

Phew. That is a loaded card, and we’ll also hear from MJF. Fans definitely won’t want to forget Dynamite is on a different night this week.

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, October 21, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH

Maybe Ohio is the pro wrestling center of the world for this week, as SmackDown heads to Toledo. We already know there will be a championship match on the card, as the Damage CTRL duo of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY tries to retain their titles against Shotzi and Raquel Rodriguez.

A former champion will also be in action, as Liv Morgan faces off with Sonya Deville. Liv’s Extreme Rules confrontation with Ronda Rousey seems to have changed her for good, but is it a change for the better?

[lawrence-related id=14370]

Logan Paul is also scheduled to appear on SmackDown, plus it would be strange if Bray Wyatt didn’t show up as well.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, October 21, Daily’s Place, Jacksonville, FL

Rampage is back in the spiritual home of AEW, Daily’s Place, with a couple of matches already announced. Hook is a man of few words, but he’ll try to let his actions speak for themselves as he defends his FTW Championship against Ari Daivari following Daivari’s unsuccessful attempt to simply buy the title from its holder.

And 10 of the Dark Order has been the subject of numerous recruiting efforts from Jose The Assistant. He’ll try to end them for good by battling Rush, because if 10 wins, Jose must leave him alone going forward.

WWE Extreme Rules 2022 results: Matt Riddle rules the Fight Pit, Bray Wyatt returns

Get full WWE Extreme Rules 2022 results, including the Fight Pit main event and the return of Bray Wyatt.

If it’s possible for the most anticipated part of a WWE premium live event to not even be a match, that might be true of WWE Extreme Rules.

To be sure, there’s nothing wrong with the card advertised for the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. We’re talking six matches, plenty of hardcore stipulations and several titles on the line. Perhaps the most intriguing one of the bunch is the Fight Pit bout between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins, the first of its kind for a main roster WWE show and one that will have a special guest referee in former UFC champion Daniel Cormier.

There’s also a grudge match between Edge and Finn Balor that could potentially be overbooked but in a good way. And both women’s titles are on the line, one in a Ladder match and the other in an Extreme Rules match.

But let’s not kid ourselves: Fans want to see if the White Rabbit saga will pay off tonight in the form of a returning Bray Wyatt. If it does, expect the roof to come off the Wells Fargo Center before the night’s end.

WWE Extreme Rules 2022 results:

  • The Brawling Brutes def. Imperium by pinfall in a six-man tag team Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match
  • Ronda Rousey def. Liv Morgan by submission to become the new WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion
  • Karrion Kross def. Drew McIntyre by pinfall in a Strap match
  • The Miz sees Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers mascot, and yells at him
  • Bianca Belair def. Bayley in a Ladder match to remain the WWE Raw Women’s Champion
  • Finn Balor def. Edge in an I Quit match
  • The Miz is about to enter Triple H’s office when Gritty appears to offer him a t-shirt … which unfortunately gets him a beatdown from Miz, who then turns to see Dexter Lumis behind him, and yep, Lumis chokes him out again, then picks up Gritty, who kicks Miz in the gut
  • Matt Riddle def. Seth Rollins by submission in a Fight Pit match w/ special guest referee Daniel Cormier
  • Bray Wyatt makes his return (watch here)
