WWE Raw Live Coverage 9/30 - Last Monster Standing Match, LWO Go Head-To-Head With Judgment Day

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on September 30, 2024, coming to you live from the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana!

Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman look to settle their issues once and for all tonight as they collide in a Last Monster Standing Match. Reed and Strowman have had no shortage of issues with one another, culminating during last week's edition of "Raw" when they found themselves involved in more than one brawl at the top of the show backstage and in the ring later that night prior to a slated encounter between Strowman and The Miz.

Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, and one half of the reigning WWE World Tag Team Champions JD McDonagh will be going head-to-head with Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde. The Judgment Day and LWO members have become no strangers to one another over the course of the past several weeks, with Lee defeating Carlito last Monday after a brawl broke out between Dominik, McDonagh, Del Toro, Wilde, and Rey Mysterio.

Speaking of Rey, he will be competing in a match of his own tonight as he goes one-on-one with Xavier Woods while the latter's New Day stablemate Kofi Kingston takes on Chad Gable of American Made. The cracks in the relationship between Woods and Kingston have begun to form, with tensions stemming from Woods' frustrations with being unable to capture tag team gold.

With just days left before they square off in a Hell In A Cell Match at WWE Bad Blood this coming Saturday, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk both have something on their minds to share tonight. McIntyre responded to a message last week that Punk sent to him two weeks ago, invoking his wife and sister before warning him that he would break him in their upcoming Atlanta, Georgia bout.

Additionally, Zoey Stark will be facing Lyra Valkyria in singles action as the issues between them, the rest of Pure Fusion Collective, Natalya, and Zelina Vega continue to grow. Jey Uso will also be appearing on tonight's show after dethroning Bron Breakker as Intercontinental Champion in the main event of last week's show.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home before we head to a video showcasing some highlights from the Intercontinental Championship match between Jey Uso and Bron Breakker last week.

Fans tell Jey that he deserves the Intercontinental Championship as he says he's now in Evansville. Jey promises to be a fighting champion and fight anyone who wants a shot at his title, then says he appreciates and loves the fans. He thanks them for their support over the years and says it was special for him to walk to the ring with his son behind him. He says it was a hard ride to get to where he is today after everything he went through in The Bloodline, then says he was a twin for his whole wrestling career until now.

Jey says out of everyone in his life, his biggest fan is his mother. He says he spoke to his mom and she told him to go out there, show everyone who he is, and get the Intercontinental Championship. He holds up his belt and tells his mother that they did it.

Bron Breakker's music hits and he makes his way out. He says he's not in the ring to spoil Jey's fun, but rather for the respect he has for the Intercontinental Championship. He says the title has a long history, and after their battle last week, he has the same respect for Jey as he does for the title. He says he's made the importance of the title to him and his family known, then says Jey was the better man last week. Breakker promises not to spear or attack Jey, then says he felt like he should be the first one to come to the ring to congratulate Jey. He extends his hand to Jey, and Jey shakes it. Breakker then looks to head to the back, but Jey stops him and says there's some dogs in Indiana.

Rey Mysterio then makes his way down to the ring. Xavier Woods follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Woods connects with a dropkick on Rey and goes for a pin, but Rey kicks out and sends Woods crashing into the corner. He charges at him, but Woods catches him with a boot. Rey responds with a hurricanrana and a tijeras that sends Woods crashing out of the ring, then delivers a senton off the apron to level him on the outside.

Back from the break, Rey fires off back elbows on Woods and sends him crashing out of the ring through the ropes. He delivers a springboard moonsault to level Woods, then lands a senton on him off the top rope back in the ring and follows it up with a crossbody. He goes for a pin, but Woods kicks out. Rey then fires off shoulders on Woods' midsection and rains down right hands on him in the corner, but Woods gets Rey in an Electric Chair position.

Rey escapes Woods' grasp and delivers a hurricanrana that sends him crashing into the ropes. He dials it up for a 619, but Woods avoids it. He then pulls off Rey's mask and rolls him up to score the win

Winner: Xavier Woods

We then head backstage and see Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler try and get in Lyra Valkyria's head by questioning where Natalya and Zelina Vega are. 

Back from the break, we head backstage and see Woods run into Kofi Kingston. He explains to Kingston that pulling off Rey's mask was an accident before Kingston informs Woods that Jey Uso offered him an Intercontinental Championship. He says he told Jey that he wanted Woods to have the title shot instead, and Jey agreed. An excited Woods then tells Kingston that even though he wanted to be alone in his match against Rey, he'll be at ringside for his match against Chad Gable later. 

Back at ringside, Lyra Valkyria makes her way down. Pure Fusion Collective follows.

The bell rings and Stark wastes no time going after Valkyria. She sends her crashing into the corner, but Valkyria responds with an arm drag and levels her. Stark then connects with a backbreaker, but Valkyria sends her crashing out of the ring and lands a dropkick on her through the middle rope.

Back from the break, Valkyria fires off right hands on Stark and levels her with a crossbody. She hits a pair of back elbows and a series of kicks, then connects with a hurricanrana and an enzuigiri. Stark lands a dropkick off the top rope and goes for a pin, but Valkyria kicks out. Stark rains down right hands on Valkyria, then follows it up with Z360 for the win.

Winner: Zoey Stark

After the match, Pure Fusion Collective looks to beat down Valkyria, but Kayden Carter and Katana Chance come to her aid. They take down Shayna Baszler and Sonya Deville, then deliver the Keg Stand to the pair.

Back from the break, Adam Pearce and several security guards are waiting in the Hell In A Cell cage in the ring. He explains that there will be no physicality in the upcoming segment, then introduces CM Punk and Drew McIntyre who both make their way down to the ring.

Pearce asks Punk and McIntyre if they have any last words before their Hell In A Cell Match on Saturday, with the latter volunteering to go first. He points out that he's wearing black out of respect for Punk's wife and what he's going to do to him. He says Punk will be gone thanks to him, and says he can talk all day if Punk doesn't want to. He says fans have been watching what's happened for the last ten months, and yet they still chant for Punk.

McIntyre says there was a time in his life where he had no time for hate, but Punk taught him that it's a powerful weapon. He says his hate will die with Punk on Saturday and leaves the ring. He stops himself when Punk grabs a mic.

Punk says he's been called a lot of things throughout his career, and while he's known as "The Voice of the Voiceless", he is the one that's voiceless tonight. He says he's filled with rage and been living in a hotel for the last four months so that his wife doesn't have to see the man that he's become because of McIntyre. He says McIntyre will be begging on his knees on Saturday, praying to him. He promises to see McIntyre in hell.

We then head backstage and see R-Truth crash a conversation between Braun Strowman and The Miz, with the latter looking to talk to the former about crashing his scheduled match against Bronson Reed last week. Strowman then leaves to prepare for his Last Monter Standing Match, and Truth informs Miz that he got them a match against Authors of Pain.

Back at ringside, Judgment Day makes their way out. LWO follows. 

JD McDonagh and Cruz Del Toro begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. McDonagh runs over Del Toro with a shoulder tackle, but Del Toro responds with a pair of arm drags. McDonagh looks to land an elbow drop, but Del Toro avoids it and connects with an enzuigiri on McDonagh from the apron. He then hits a crossbody off the ropes.

Joaquin Wilde and Carlito tag in, and Wilde takes down Carlito and the interfering Dominik Mysterio and McDonagh. Wilde, Dragon Lee, and Del Toro then all take turns flying off the ropes to take down the three men.

Back from the break, Dominik sends Wilde crashing into the mat with a variation of a neckbreaker and tags in McDonagh. Lee tags in and lands a hurricanrana on McDonagh, then delivers a German suplex to Dominik and connects with a jumping knee on McDonagh. He then takes down an interfering Carlito.

Del Toro tags in and delivers a dropkick to the three Judgment Day members who have been stacked on top of one another in the corner. Wilde tags back in, and Del Toro and Lee hold the ropes for him to fly and level McDonagh. Lee and Del Toro then take flight themselves to take down Dominik and Carlito. Wilde gets McDonagh back in the ring and ascends to the top, but Morgan distracts the referee as Finn Balor pushes Wilde off the top rope. This opens the door for McDonagh to then deliver The Devil Inside to Wilde for the win.

Winners: Judgment Day

Balor grabs a mic and addresses Damian Priest. He tells Priest he heard what he had to say last week about ripping out his heart, but says he doesn't have a heart and will prove to the world at Bad Blood that Priest needed Judgment Day rather than the other way around. Morgan then says she'll prove that she's the greatest Women's World Champion of all time when she defeats Rhea Ripley.

Ripley's music hits and she makes her way out. She tells Morgan that she was with Dominik for a long time and knows all about his secrets, then calls for the Shark Cage to be brought out and reveals that Dominik is extremely claustrophobic. He says Dominik will have the best seat in the house on Saturday when Morgan realizes that she's not as good as her and she wins back the Women's World Championship she never lost.

Priest then appears in the ring and takes down McDonagh. He fires off right hands on Balor in the corner as Dominik and Morgan slide out of the ring. Ripley then headbutts Morgan and sends Dominik crashing into the barricade, then sends him bouncing off the side of the Shark Cage. Morgan runs to the back, and Ripley opens up the Shark Cage. She throws Dominik in it and looks to close the door, but a fearful Dominik stops her. Morgan then blindsides Ripley as Balor continues beating down Priest in the ring. He delivers a trio of Coup De Graces to him.

American Made then make their way down to the ring.
