WWE Raw is live tonight from the SAP Center in San Jose, California! Tonight, the NXT Women’s Championship is on the line as Tegan Nox uses the championship opportunity she earned by defeating Natalya last week. Also, Nia Jax has her first match since returning to the company, Tommaso Ciampa and Gunther make their Intercontinental Championship match official, and a lot more. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw:
WWE Raw card: October 2, 2023
Xavier Woods vs. Ivar
WWE’s official preview:
The rivalry between The New Day and The Viking Raiders is red hot with Xavier Woods and Ivar set to duke it out live on Monday Night Raw.
Last week saw Kofi Kingston step up to take on Ivar which turned into a thrilling match won by Kingston after a perfect Trouble in Paradise.
Now Woods wants in on the action as Ivar continues to do battle with Erik currently sidelined.
Miz TV with special guest Drew McIntyre
WWE’s official preview:
The Scottish Warrior will once again venture into the hot seat as he appears on “Miz TV” for the second week in a row.
Last week, McIntyre attempted to explain his recent actions but was interrupted by The New Day, who were disappointed in him following his refusal to help Jey Uso stand up to The Judgment Day.
Following the explosive “Miz TV,” McIntyre defeated Kofi Kingston in singles action. After the match, McIntyre once again abandoned someone in need, allowing Ivar of The Viking Raiders to destroy Kingston.
Has McIntyre changed his tune?
“Main Event” Jey Uso vs. Damian Priest
WWE’s official preview:
The tension and stakes on Monday Night Raw are reaching a boiling point as Jey Uso will take on Damian Priest in a matchup between two of the red brands best.
Since arriving to Raw, Uso has made no shortage in enemies, none bigger than The Judgment Day as the former Bloodline member spurned the group to remain his own man.
Not appreciating the perceived disrespect, Priest will step into the ring and look to reassert his dominance as one half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions as well as Señor Money in the Bank.
What will happen when “Main Event” Jey Uso takes on The Judgment Day by himself?
Shayna Baszler vs. Nia Jax
WWE’s official preview:
Nia Jax is back in WWE and domination has been her mission. Since her return, Jax has squashed and obliterated various Raw Superstars, dispatching Zoey Stark last week in her first match back in WWE.
This Monday, Jax will face off against Stark’s tag team partner, Shayna Baszler. Baszler and Jax have a shared history together, becoming WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions twice while teaming together. The last time they faced off, Baszler won by referee’s decision in a match on Raw two years ago.
With each competitor now in a different position, who will come out on top?
Becky Lynch vs. Tegan Nox
WWE’s official preview:
When The Man came around to Raw for her first title defense, she was hoping Nox would answer the challenge. Natalya, however, bombarded her way to the front, putting in a good fight but falling to Big Time Becks.
The next week, Lynch implored Nox to forgo respect, advising her to take her opportunities and not wait for them.
After Nox confronted Natalya backstage, she then was victorious in a match against “The B.O.A.T.”
Can Nox defeat Lynch for the title?
Gunther and Tommaso Ciampa sign their Intercontinental Championship Match contract
WWE’s official preview:
Gunther and Tommaso Ciampa will put pen to paper when they meet in the ring to make their upcoming Intercontinental Title Match official.
The Ring General is enjoying the longest Intercontinental Championship reign in WWE history as he has defeated every Superstar that has stood in his way.
The impassioned Ciampa is looking for his first singles title on the main roster after being one of the most decorated Superstars in NXT history.
