WWE RAW Results: Brock Lesnar returns & causes title change; Bray Wyatt sends cryptic message - Winners, Recap, Grades & Highlights (October 10th, 2022)

The Bloodline kicked off the season premiere of RAW and Roman Reigns was about to address Jey Uso, who upset him by talking too much and being too loud. According to Reigns and his family, the loudest person in the room was always the weakest.

Reigns was being serious but Sami Zayn decided to interrupt, asking to take care of the situation himself. Sami explained that Jey needed to be more 'cool' like Jimmy and Solo. Jey asked if this was all a joke when Riddle walked out.

Riddle challenged Roman to a match but Reigns told him to get to the back of the line. Riddle then challenged anyone in the Bloodline and Jey tricked Sami into accepting the match before RAW moved on.

Finn then brought up AJ Styles and the latter walked out to the ring saying that he realized it was time that he got some friends... or family even. AJ kneeled in front of Judgment Day and Balor accepted him with open arms before Styles said that he wasn't talking about them.

Gallows and Anderson walked out, formerly of The Club/The O.C. in WWE, and attacked Judgment Day with AJ. Styles sent Balor over the announcers' desk as his new teammates took out Damian and Dominik. Rhea, Priest, and Dominik ran away and Balor was the only one left before he too made a swift retreat.

Miz and Maryse were out next to celebrate The A-Lister's birthday. We even had an ice sculpture of the Miz and some balloon decorations. The gifts included a set of giant balls from Maryse and as Miz opened a box, Dexter Lumis' head appeared from under the table.

Miz attacked the table with his baseball bat but Dexter reappeared behind him and tried to choke him out. Miz and Maryse managed to flee the ring before Dexter used the knife meant for the cake and burst the two giant balls before cutting a piece of cake and eating it.

D-Generation X was backstage when the Miz came in. Miz was wondering why Dexter had it out for him and HBK told him that Lumis rarely does this unless instigated. Miz couldn't recall how he could have upset Lumis and Road Dogg proposed that Miz have a match with Lumis to settle the matter.
