WWE Monday Night Raw Full Results (August 30th, 2021)

After WWE Champion Bobby Lashley leaving Sheamus during the tag team match against Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest, Sheamus had a argument with Lashley at backstage. On tonight’s show, Sheamus and Bobby Lashley will battle in one-on-one match.

On last week’s Raw, Eva Marie attacked Doudrop for taunting her at Summer Slam event. WWE announced that Eva Marie will face Doudrop in a singles match on tonight’s show.

– Tonight’s WWE Raw opened with United States Champion Damian Priest to issue an open challenge. Priest says he feels alive and always wanted to do this and welcomes everyone to Raw. Priest brings up his win over Sheamus at Summer Slam and fans chants for him. Then, he talks about how he will show respect to the US Title like Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, and John Cena all did. 

Priest then talks about how WWE Champion Bobby Lashley ran away like a coward last week, and promises that won’t be him. Priest issues a Open Challenge and asks who it’s going to be. The music hits and here comes Sheamus. Sheamus also agrees that Lashley does like to run from a fight and says he likes this Open Challenge, even if the fans don’t deserve it. He further says he’s going to use the Brogue Kick to wipe the smile off Priest’s face, then take back his title. 

Now, music interrupts and out comes Drew McIntyre. McIntyre wants to see Priest beat Sheamus’ ass again but it’s time for something else, something fresh. McIntyre brings up some of his title wins and says he’s never been United States Champion. So, he challenges Priest and then has words for Sheamus. Priest likes the idea. The music interrupts and here comes WWE Champion Bobby Lashley along with MVP. 

MVP asks them to hold their applause for the WWE Champion. MVP says Lashley wanted to host an Open Challenge every week, fans started chanting for Goldberg name. MVP says Lashley has already dealt with the entire roster and now it will be good for business if Lashley beats Priest to become the dual champion. The music hits again and out come Raw Tag Team Champions Riddle and Randy Orton.

Orton had some words for Bobby Lashley for getting greedy to have a second championship. Lashley says Orton for once is right, he does want a second title, but maybe he should take the tag team titles. Riddle proposes a tag team titles match against MVP and Lashley. MVP accepts. MVP asks Sheamus to kick Priest’s ass so they can double back. Everyone starts arguing.
