Two title matches set for next week’s WWE Raw

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two titles will be defended on next week’s Raw.

Intercontinental Champion Gunther will defend against New Day’s Kofi Kingston. Judgment Day’s Damian Priest & Finn Balor, meanwhile, will defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles against DIY (Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano).

The New Day have been feuding with members of Imperium for the last several weeks. On Monday’s Raw, Kingston & Xavier Woods went to a double count against Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. The two teams ended up brawling into the crowd, ending when New Day speared both Kaiser & Vinci off equipment boxes through tables. Later, Kingston challenged Gunther for next week.

Rhea Ripley informed Priest on Monday that he and Balor would have to defend their titles against DIY. Later in the show, Balor interfered in Dominik Mysterio’s match against The Miz, helping Mysterio win. Balor continued to attack Miz until DIY came out for the save.

Bronson Reed challenged Jey Uso for next week’s Raw, saying that while Uso was looking for championship gold, nothing would get in the way of accomplishing his own championship goals.

Here is what has been announced for next week’s Raw:

  • WWE Intercontinental title: Gunther defends against Kofi Kingston
  • Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles: Damian Priest & Finn Balor defend against DIY
  • Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed

Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso win Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles at Fastlane

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The unlikely duo of Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso are now tag team champions.

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles changed hands with Rhodes & Uso defeating Finn Balor & Damian Priest at Fastlane. A miscommunication between Priest and JD McDonagh led to Judgment Day losing the match.

McDonagh attempted to hit Rhodes with Priest’s Money in the Bank briefcase, but Rhodes moved out of the way and McDonagh accidentally struck Priest in the knee. Rhodes laid McDonagh out, then capitalized on the situation by giving Priest a Cross Rhodes onto the announce table.

Uso gave Balor a superkick and held him in position so Rhodes could hit a Cody Cutter. Rhodes followed that up with a Cross Rhodes before pinning Balor to win the match.

This is the first championship Rhodes has held since returning to WWE. For Jey, it’s the only title reign he’s ever had with someone other than his twin brother Jimmy.

In storyline, Rhodes brought Jey over to the Raw roster after Jey quit SmackDown. Jey quit after Jimmy cost him a match against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. At some point, SmackDown will be receiving “trade compensation” for losing Jey to Raw.

McDonagh, who is friends with Balor, has been trying to get a spot in The Judgment Day in recent months. Priest hasn’t wanted McDonagh to join the group.
