WWE RAW Results, 22nd October 2018, Live Commentary & Updates

That's it for tonight. Thanks for tuning in to an extremely emotional episode of Monday Night Raw, right here at Sportskeeda. This is Anirban Banerjee signing off.

A summary of the results from tonight:
1. Finn Balor defeated Bobby Lashley
2. Ruby Riott defeated Sasha Banks
3. Elias defeated Apollo Crews
4. Ember Moon defeated Tamina, Nia Jax and Dana Brooke
5. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler

With Roman's Leukemia being revealed tonight, no one had expected Dean Ambrose to turn on Seth. WWE did the unthinkable.

What an emotional roller coaster this Raw was.

CHAMPS ONCE AGAIN. @WWERollins & @TheDeanAmbrose are your NEWWWW #RAW #TagTeamChampions!

The new #RAW #TagTeamChampions just imploded before our very eyes... Why, @TheDeanAmbrose?!

Dean drags the padding off the ring floor and drags Seth over to the concrete floor. He hits Seth with a Dirty Deeds on the hard and cold concrete floor. What a way to end Raw.

Dean continues to beat down Seth inside the ring and sends him outside into the barricade. This is unthinkable.

There is another turn on this night. In what has been an extremely emotional night for the Shield, Ambrose turns on his partner. He hits Seth with a Dirty Deeds. This is unthinkable on the night when Roman announced his condition. A night when the Shield was expected to stand together after winning the title, they have broken up in the worst way possible.

Dolph tries to take advantage of the lack of an official to hit Seth with a Championship. Dean stops him and Seth hits him with the Stomp. Dean sends in the official, and just like that the three-count.
Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are now the new Tag Team Champions.
Result: Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeats Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions

Strowman is ready to take revenge on McIntyre for his actions last week, and again this week. The two battle in the crowd, leaving Dolph alone in the ring.

Drew and Dolph tries to set up the Claymore Zigzag combination. Meanwhile Strowman makes his way down to the ring. Braun interferes in the match and beats up Drew, but the official is knocked down and so the match is not called off with a Disqualification.

Ziggler comes back with a Zigzag on Seth after sending him into the ringpost. It looked like it was over, but no. Seth kicks out!

Seth hits the Fisherman Suplex on Dolph for a nearfall. He goes for the Curb Stomp but fails to hit it. He picks Ziggler up for a Buckle Bomb but McIntyre saves him.

The match has been a mix of domination between the Shield and Drew and Dolph so far. McIntyre fails to take out Dean, and Dean manages to tag Rollins instead. Dean hits Dolph with a Suicide Dive, while Seth takes Drew out from the Top Rope with a Superplex for a nearfall.

Dean tries to attack Dolph, but is flattened by Drew instead. When he gets back in the ring, Drew finds that Seth has taken advantage of the slight distraction to gain the advantage.

Drew and Dolph isolate Seth with quick tags. Seth is able to send Ziggler to the outside and catch McIntyre on the top rope. Seth can't tag Dean, because Dolph pulls him down from the apron.

Drew interferes from the outside, catching Seth by surprise. Dolph takes advantage with a Famouser, and then goes for the pin. Seth is able to kick out without too much of a problem.

Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler mix it up in the ring, before Rollins comes in. Rollins hit Drew with a Suicide Dive, and then launches Dolph out as well with a Catapult. He then hits Dolph with a Suicide Dive.

Dean and Seth start early and fast as they empty the ring, throwing Drew and Dolph to the outside.

This one's for @WWERomanReigns... @WWERollins & @TheDeanAmbrose challenge @HEELZiggler & @DMcIntyreWWE for the #RAW #TagTeamTitles NEXT!

The Shield Brethren are doing this for Roman tonight. This Championship match means a lot to them.

"That's how we do it in the #AttitudeEra." @trishstratuscom & @AmyDumas are at FULL STRENGTH heading into #WWEEvolution! #RAW

Now: Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre for the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles

Lita and Trish are attacked by Mickie James and Alicia Fox. The two of them think they put the two former women's champions away, but are attacked from behind by the Attitude Era stars. They put Alicia and Mickie down, sending a message to Alexa Bliss and Mickie James ahead of Evolution.

Trish Stratus and Lita are in a backstage interview ahead of their match at Evolution. Lita and Trish say that they are ready for their match, but as they are trying to make a point, they are interrupted by Alicia Fox.

The fight rages on with @SusanGKomen in the battle against breast cancer, because it is #unacceptable.

Titus O'Neil is out to raise awareness about Breast Cancer with survivors of the disease. Coming on the back of the news about Roman's illness, this seems especially important now.

UP NEXT: The #RAW #TagTeamTitles are on the line as @HEELZiggler & @DMcIntyreWWE defend against #TheShield's @TheDeanAmbrose & @WWERollins!

THIS SUNDAY: A HUGE #BattleRoyal will determine a future #WomensChampionship challenger at #WWEEvolution! #RAW

The match is over before anyone can blink. Ember Moon hits the Eclipse on Tamina Snuka and that's all she needs.

Result: Ember Moon defeats Tamina, Nia Jax and Dana Brooke.

Nia Jax vs. Dana Brooke vs. Ember Moon vs. Tamina Snuka

The four women compete in a Fatal Fourway match. All four women are set to compete in the Battle Royale at Evolution.

The #IrresistibleForce @NiaJaxWWE is in action NEXT on #RAW as she competes in a #Fatal4Way match with #WWEEvolution implications!

"Tonight, we're going to do what we always do: WIN!" @TheDeanAmbrose & @WWERollins are hellbent on becoming the NEW #RAW #TagTeamChampions TONIGHT!

Seth and Dean are in a backstage interview. They say that there are no words to describe the emotions that they are going through now, and they are going to win the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships for Roman instead.

"I will end you." The goal is simple for #RAW #WomensChampion @RondaRousey this Sunday at #WWEEvolution!

"I didn't come here to beat you up tonight." A little reassurance from #RAW #WomensChampion @RondaRousey... #WWEEvolution

Ronda signs the contract herself, and lives upto her promise to not touch Nikki. She says that on Sunday she will 'end' Nikki and walks out of the ring.

Ronda promises that she is there to only sign the contract, but Nikki goads her on. She reminds Ronda of her mother and the promise that she had made to her to never get hurt in the Octagon, and to retire from UFC undefeated. Ronda is obviously agitated, a situation which becomes worse when Nikki signs the contract and then slaps her across the face.

Ronda and Nikki Bella confront each other as Nikki tries to walk away saying that while Ronda had come prepared to fight, the Bella Twins were not here to fight.

Nikki and Ronda's feud has been a heated one over the past few weeks. The feud spilled onto social media as well, as the two women held nothing back while insulting each other.

UP NEXT: It's the OFFICIAL Contract Signing for #WWEEvolution's #RAW #WomensChampionship match-up between @RondaRousey and Nikki @BellaTwins!

Now, it's time for the Official contract signing for the Raw Women's Championship!

"You work for me, and if @StephMcMahon didn't like you, I'd FIRE you." Acting #RAW GM @BaronCorbinWWE does NOT want to hear @IAmEliasWWE's performance...

Elias' music and mike is shut off by Corbin, who then orders him off the stage. Corbin turns his back on Elias, who leaves. But Elias comes back and breaks his guitar on the head of Corbin.
The turn came out of nowhere!

Elias refuses to get off, and shuts Corbin up.

Is this leading to an Elias face turn?

Corbin says that as Acting General Manager what he has to say is far more important than Elias' performance. He says that if Stephanie did not like Elias, then Corbin would fire him.

Elias comes out once again to try and sing his song, but this time instead of Apollo Crews it Baron Corbin who interrupts him.
