WWE Raw Results 12/23 - Drew McIntyre & Seth Rollins Appear, Dexter Lumis Squares Off With The Miz

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on December 23, 2024, coming to you from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts!

Drew McIntyre and Seth "Freakin" Rollins will both be making appearances on tonight's show with something on their minds to share. Not only did McIntyre find himself entangled in a massive pull apart brawl with Sami Zayn during last week's edition of "Raw", but he had proposed an alliance with Rollins earlier that same night after Rollins had found himself involved in a tense verbal confrontation with their longtime shared rival CM Punk in the opening minutes of the show.

Dexter Lumis will be squaring off with familiar foe The Miz in singles competition. The issues between Miz's allies The Final Testament and Lumis and his Wyatt Sicks stablemates have been well documented over the course of the past few weeks, meeting in an Eight Man Tag Team Match on the December 9 episode of "Raw" when the former party defeated the latter.

The last competitor to qualify for the semifinals of the Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament will be determined tonight, as Natayla collides with Alba Fyre and an opponent who has yet to be announced in a First Round Triple Threat Match after initial participant Kairi Sane was taken out by Pure Fusion Collective backstage last week. The winner will go on to face Lyra Valkyria in the next round, with Dakota Kai and Zoey Stark battling it out on the other side of the bracket with two spots in the finals on the line to crown the inaugural tournament.

Additionally, Chad Gable will be renewing his rivalry with Alpha Academy when he faces his former stablemate Akira Tozawa for the first time ever in single's competition.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home as Drew McIntyre makes his way out to the ring.

McIntyre says he was never so beat up in his life after his Hell In A Cell Match against CM Punk. He says he went home to Scotland and while he hasn't really talked about it publicly, only one person called to check on how he was doing physically in that time. He says he was led to believe that everyone in the back was family and they were all sisters and brothers. He says that Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn would all stab him in the back in a heartbeat. He says fans forgot about him instantly when he was gone, and says he won't give anymore for anyone. He says he's going to start taking, and the real villains in WWE are CM Punk and Roman Reigns. He says everyone who ever wronged him sleep with one eye open.

Zayn's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He tells McIntyre that he's spent twenty two years in the professional wrestling business, and he's experienced everything McIntyre has including all the sacrifices because it's the life that they chose as WWE Superstars. He says they're both lucky to be WWE Superstars, and every person in the live crowd and watching at home have sacrifices of their own but still continue moving forward without blaming everyone else. He says just because McIntyre is mad, it doesn't make it special and what he and The Usos do is not McIntyre's business. He says if McIntyre wants to be mad about The Bloodline after all this time, that's fine, but he'll be his problem and face him in the ring.

McIntyre says it isn't just anger, and his anger comes from a place of pain. He says what Zayn just said is his truth, but he doesn't have the luxury of being with his family back in Scotland 24/7. He reminds Zayn that he's never beaten him, and Zayn admits that what McIntyre was true. He says while he could go home and celebrate the holidays with his family, but he'd rather clock McIntyre and he does just that. He sets up for a Blue Thunder Bomb, but McIntyre escapes and sets up for a Claymore Kick. Jey's music hits and he makes down to provide Zayn with a helping hand before the pair clothesline McIntyre out of the ring.

We then head backstage and see Pure Fusion Collective approach Adam Pearce. Sonya Deville asks to be Kairi Sane's replacement in the Women's Intercontinental Tournament Triple Threat Match, but Pearce declines to give her the spot and informs her that he already gave it to IYO SKY. SKY then makes her way out to the ring, with Natalya and Alba Fyre following.

The bell rings and Natalya dumps Fyre out of the ring. She sends SKY crashing into the mat and runs the ropes, but Fyre pulls her out of the ring and sends her crashing into the ring steps. SKY then flies to level Fyre.

Back from the break, Natalya rains down right hands on Fyre. SKY flies off the ropes with a crossbody to take down Natalya and Fyre, but Fyre levels SKY with a Tornado DDT and sends her crashing on top of Natalya. Fyre ascends to the top rope and delivers a Swanton Bomb to Natalya and SKY, then pins them both but they kick out.

Fyre locks in a submission on Natalya, but Natalya counters into a pinfall. Fyre kicks out, but Natalya locks in a double Sharpshooter on her and SKY. SKY and Fyre escape, and the action spills out of the ring. SKY delivers a kick to Natalya off the ring apron, then connects with a springboard moonsault on her and Fyre. She dumps Natalya back inside the ring and sets up for the Over The Moonsault. Fyre prevents SKY from hitting the move, but SKY fights her off and delivers the Over The Moonsault to Natalya for the win.

Winner: IYO SKY

We head backstage and see Judgment Day hanging out in their lounge, where Liv Morgan and Finn Balor are bickering with one another. Dominik Mysterio interrupts and tells his stablemates that he's planning on talking to Adam Pearce to get himself a match against Damian Priest later tonight.

American Made then make their way down to the ring. Alpha Academy follows.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Gable levels Tozawa with a series of chops, but Tozawa rocks him with a spinning double roundhouse kick. Gable wears down Tozawa's arm using the ropes, then gets into a verbal altercation with Otis and slaps him. Tozawa looks to take advantage and rolls Gable up, but Gable kicks out. Tozawa then looks to land a senton on Gable off the top rope, but Gable gets his knees up and connects with a series of German suplexes. He follows it up with a powerbomb and transitions into an Ankle Lock. Tozawa taps out.

Dominik Mysterio then makes his way out to the ring. Damian Priest follows.

The bell rings and Dominik immediately hops out of the ring. He gets back inside and Priest offers him a shot, but catches Dominik's right hand when he goes to take it and connects with a pair of right hands. He sends Dominik crashing into the mat face first, but Dominik responds with a superkick and a dropkick to Priest. Dominik low bridges Priest out of the ring, but Priest sends Dominik crashing into the announce desk with a flapjack before sending him crashing into the ring post.

Priest notices a Santa dressed up in the crowd, and rips off his beard to reveal JD McDonagh. He then discovers Carlito under the ring, but Finn Balor blindsides him from behind, causing the disqualification.

Winner: Damian Priest (via disqualification)

After the match, Judgment Day continues to beat down Priest until War Raiders' music hits and they run down to the ring to even the odds. Priest superkicks Balor in the ring and fires off stomps on him, then stands tall with War Raiders in the ring.

We then head over to a conversation between Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Jackie Redmond about CM Punk.

Back at ringside, The Miz makes his way down. Dexter Lumis follows.

Miz slides out of the ring the second that Lumis gets inside, but reluctantly gets back inside. The bell rings and Lumis sends Miz crashing into one of the barricades on the outside. He dumps him back in the ring, but Miz slides back out. Lumis flies off the apron to level Miz, then dumps him back inside. Lumis connects with an open palm strike on Miz, then rains down right hands on him and connects with an elbow. He sends Miz crashing into the mat and ascends to the top, but Authors of Pain appear at ringside. Lumis flies to level them, but Karrion Kross appears at ringside. He clocks Lumis, causing the disqualification.

Winner: Dexter Lumis (via disqualification)

After the match, Scarlett joins the rest of Final Testament and they surround Lumis in the ring until the rest of The Wyatt Sicks come to Lumis' aid.

Back from the break, we see Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods confront Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett about the manner in which they discussed them and their confrontation with Big E a few weeks ago. Kingston then berates the crowd for booing him in front of his mother and apologizes to her. Kingston then looks to hug her, but his mother gets up from the crowd and walks away, opting not to hug him.

Drew McIntyre then makes his way down to the ring. Sami Zayn follows.

The bell rings and McIntyre lands a boot on Zayn's midsection. He connects with a chop on him in the corner, but Zayn responds with chops of his own and delivers a boot to his midsection. McIntyre connects with a suplex to Zayn, then stomps on his fingers and delivers another chop to him. Zayn delivers a kick to McIntyre's face, then dumps him out of the ring over the top rope.

Back from the break, McIntyre lands a stomp on Zayn and connects with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Zayn sends McIntyre's head bouncing off the announce desk, but McIntyre sends Zayn's head bouncing off the ring steps and sends him crashing into the ring apron with a Sidewalk Slam off them.
