However, as Miz was trapped in the ring after losing out, Lumis choked the victim unconscious to end the show. 

Dominik Mysterio joins forces with The Judgement Day

The show earlier opened with Rey Mysterio and Edge addressing the WWE universe about Dominik Mysterio turning on them at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022. The Jr. Mysterio appeared with the Judgement Day and aligned himself with Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley, as the group assaulted Edge and Rey. Later in the night, Priest defeated Rey in a match after Dominik distracted his father.

Braun Strowman returns to WWE on Monday Night RAW

One of the biggest talking points about Raw was former universal champion Braun Strowman’s long-awaited return to the promotion. Strowman was released from his WWE contract in June 2021, due to a reported budget cut. However, he returned to WWE after 14 months and interrupted a fatal four-way tag team match between American Alpha, Los Lotharios, New Day and Street Profits. 

The match was being held to determine the no. 1 contender for The Usos undisputed tag team championship titles. Strowman made his ring walk midway through the match and cleared the field, before ending the segment by throwing Angelo Dawkins through the table. The show also featured a match between Kevins Owens vs Theory, among the other exciting segments.
