When we return from the break, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett announce some action for next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. As the road to WWE Royal Rumble 2024 continues next Monday night, WWE Raw will feature a jam-packed lineup.

On tap for the show next week is the return of WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER, Seth “Freakin'” Rollins vs. Jinder Mahal for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, The Judgment Day duo of Finn Balor and Damian Priest square off against the Awesome Truth duo of The Miz and R-Truth, as well as DIY vs. Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh.

Back inside the Moda Center, the rock-violins begin playing the theme for our first of two competitors scheduled for our final match of the evening, which has been changed into a Street Fight. Shinsuke Nakamura heads to the ring. As “The King of Strong Style” settles in the ring, we head to a pre-match break.

As we settle back in from the break, the familiar sounds of Cody Rhodes’ theme hits and out comes “The American Nightmare” to a huge pop and a ton of pyro as the stage is set for our Street Fight main event of the evening. The commentators bring up their history in recent weeks and brawl backstage earlier tonight.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our main event of the second WWE Monday Night Raw show of 2024. The fans immediately break out in a loud “Cody! Cody!” chant before anything happens. They finally start to get after it and very quickly the action spills out to the floor.

Cody and Shinsuke fight up to the top of the entrance ramp. They continue to brawl outside of the ring as we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break. When we return, we see Nakamura dominating the offense for several minutes, taking it to “The American Nightmare.”

Near the commentary desk, we see Nakamura look to spray the poison mist into the eyes of Cody, only for Cody to avoid it and it get sprayed into a ringside production crew guy. Cody stops to try and get help for the guy, allowing Nakamura to blast him with a steel chair and take over. We head into another mid-match break on that note.

We’re back from the break and we see Nakamura still beating down Cody as replays are shown of the mist and chair spot to catch those up who are just tuning in. Back in the ring, Cody starts to fight back into competitive form before ultimately taking back over. He stops and heads out to the ringside area, where he pulls a table out from under the ring for a huge pop.

Rhodes brings the table into the ring and sets it up, but Nakamura takes back over the offensive lead. He lays Cody on the set up table and heads to the top-rope. He comes flying off with double knees to put Cody through the table. Nakamura brings another table into the ring and leans it long ways in the corner.

“The American Nightmare” starts to show signs of life and begins fighting back as the crowd rallies behind him. The fans start chanting “Cody! Cody!” and Rhodes lets out a war scream. He picks Nakamura up looking for the Cross-Rhodes, but Nakamura counters with a roll up.

Cody kicks out. Cody puts Nakamura through the table in the corner and follows up with Cross Rhodes for the win. Cody celebrates the win and that’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Winner: Cody Rhodes
