WWE Raw results, Sept. 30, 2019: Lashley’s shocking kissing session with Lana leads to “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt’s attack on Rollins

After Sasha Banks defeats Alexa Bliss, Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vows pain for The Boss when they square off in a Hell in a Cell Match.

Sasha Banks is 2-0 against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, but Becky Lynch is apparently still living rent-free in The Boss’ head, as evidenced by a confrontation between the two Superstars moments after Banks earned a grueling victory over Alexa Bliss.

Even though Becky got the last word on the evening, it must be said that Bliss came to the match more than willing to put The Boss through her paces. Between Alexa’s efforts and a mandate that banned Bayley and Nikki Cross from ringside, it seemed The Goddess might upend Banks when all was said and done — at least until Sasha looked to the crowd, apparently calling Bayley to her side in a crucial moment. A distracted Bliss took her foot off the gas, and Sasha capitalized with a roll-up, but The Boss wanted no such part of Lynch, who had been sitting at commentary for the match.

Lynch had been on her best behavior per some promise she’d made prior to the match, but she wasted no time making a beeline for her opponent this Sunday at the conclusion of the bout. After briefly trading fists with Becky, The Boss made herself scarce by fleeing into the crowd, and despite Sasha’s posturing from afar, The Man’s last word — “You made it personal; I’m gonna make it painful” — clearly left her rattled. And for all of Sasha’s meticulous preparation, it’s becoming clear that she’s still staring down a fight she might not quite be as ready for as she thinks.

Otis & Tucker challenge Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode for their Raw Tag Team Championships.

The argument that Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode are fluke Raw Tag Team Champions is holding less water by the week, as the unlikely titles retained with a decisive, if ill-gotten victory over SmackDown hosses Heavy Machinery.

That’s notable because, going into the match, some pundits suggested an established team like Otis & Tucker would take advantage of the champs’ relative inexperience to seize the titles. Ziggler & Roode didn’t necessarily have the kind of inventive, two-man maneuvers Heavy Machinery are fast becoming known for, but they were clearly on the same page in terms of competing smart rather than competing fair. Roode bent the rules by mugging Tucker outside the ring following a hot start by Heavy Machinery, and Ziggler broke them by catching Tucker with a Zig Zag as the challengers prepared to execute the Compactor.

With Tucker taken out and Otis caught unaware, the champs moved fast, ejecting Otis from the ring to leave Tucker helpless against Roode’s match-ending Glorious DDT. Nitpick Ziggler and Roode’s origin story and underhanded tactics all you want, but Heavy Machinery is about as cohesive a unit as you can find, and they weren’t enough to solve the champs. Ziggler & Roode might just be here to stay.

The Viking Raiders clash with The O.C.’s Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson in a bid to prove who the dominant team is.

That’s two in a row for The Viking Raiders against The O.C.’s Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, who have come up empty in their efforts to assert dominance over the former NXT Tag Team Champions following weeks of skirmishes and brawls.

Unfortunately for the good brothers, the dominant showing belonged squarely to Erik & Ivar, who used the full scope of their barbaric offense against the two-time Raw Tag Team Champions. This isn’t to say Gallows & Anderson didn’t hold their own by isolating the smaller Erik, but Ivar was the game-changer, taking fight with a splash off the top rope that shook the ring and earned his team the victory. It was a display that had all the hallmarks of a dominant team — including, of course, the promise of further victories to come.

With no love lost, Ricochet and Cesaro collide in a fast-paced fight.

One Superstar who isn’t shedding many tears over Rey Mysterio’s predicament is Cesaro, who has disrespected The Ultimate Underdog at every turn and didn’t hesitate to do so again after Brock Lesnar attacked the masked Superstar at the beginning of Raw. Unfortunately, he hurled his insults within earshot of Ricochet, who both defended Mysterio’s honor in an impromptu match and paid homage to the icon in the process.

Not only did Ricochet pull off the kind of moves that would make his idol Mysterio proud, he competed at such a speed that the typically surgical Cesaro had trouble keeping up. The King of Swing caught his opponent with a few jaw-droppers — witness that gorilla press into a knee — but Ricochet rallied, planting Cesaro with a West Coast Pop straight out of Mysterio’s playbook. It likely won’t be enough to teach Cesaro the error of his ways, but it was certainly a reminder that Rey Mysterio's greatness isn't just measured by what he does in the ring, but in those he inspires to follow his lead.

Things get ugly in the ongoing, heated rivalry between Lacey Evans and Natalya.

For weeks, Lacey Evans has been angling for a tiebreaker in her series with Natalya by stealing the Hart family’s Sharpshooter in her matches in an attempt to coax The Queen of Harts to the ring. That The Sassy Southern Belle got what she wanted was no surprise — you can only push someone for so long — but what is somewhat surprising was the manner in which she attacked and defeated her rival.

Nearly all of Evans’ Southern hospitality was gone in this match. She slammed Natalya face-first into the steel steps and the ring apron, looking not so much to defeat the former SmackDown Women’s Champion as embarrass her. Natalya found some daylight after Evans slowed the pace a bit too much for her own good, even showing some Canadian fire. But The Lady was just a little bit nastier, raking Natalya’s eyes to set up a roll-up victory and and dropping The Queen of Harts to the floor with a wicked Woman's Right. On its face, it was somewhat surprising that Evans didn’t go for the Sharpshooter to seal the win, but it makes a certain kind of sense. Evans got the match by stealing Natalya's statement maneuver. It's only fitting she end the series with her own.
