Viking Rules match announced for next week’s WWE Raw

Posted on by Ethan Renner

A Viking Rules match has been announced for the Monday, October 9 WWE Raw episode. 

Ivar of The Viking Raiders will face Kofi Kingston of The New Day in a Viking Rules match on next week’s Raw. Ivar lost to Kingston’s tag team partner Xavier Woods in a singles match on this week’s Raw, but Ivar laid out both Woods and Kingston after the loss. Kingston holds a singles victory over Ivar as they last met on the September 18 Raw. 

Additionally, the NXT Women’s Championship match originally set for this week’s Raw has been rescheduled for next week’s episode. Becky Lynch will defend her title against Tegan Nox on October 9 in a match that was postponed this week due to Lynch not being medically cleared for action. Lynch suffered an arm laceration in her match against Tiffany Stratton at NXT No Mercy last Saturday. 

Also set for next week, Nia Jax will be in action against Raquel Rodriguez. Both were involved in a wild pull-apart angle on this week’s show also involving Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. 

The announced card for the October 9 Raw: 

  • NXT Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch defends against Tegan Nox
  • Viking Rules match: Kofi Kingston vs. Ivar
  • Nia Jax vs. Raquel Rodriguez

Brock Lesnar’s return, a Viking Rules match, a Women’s Tag title match, plus Gunther vs. Matt Riddle are set for the July 17 WWE Raw. 

After Cody Rhodes issued a challenge to Lesnar for SummerSlam on this week’s Raw, Lesnar will return to the show next week. Lesnar last appeared on the July 3 Raw from Baltimore where he brawled with Rhodes. 

Erik & Ivar of The Viking Raiders will take on Chad Gable & Otis of Alpha Academy in a Viking Rules match on next week’s Raw.

The Women’s Tag Team Championship will also be on the line next week, as Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez defend their titles against Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green. Deville & Green won a number one contender’s gauntlet match last week to set up the contest.
