WWE Raw Results (03/13) - Street Fight, Brock Lesnar Faces Off With Omos, Judgment Day Vs. Johnny Gargano & Dexter Lumis

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "WWE Raw" on March 13, 2023, coming to you live from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island!

The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa is set to go head-to-head with Kevin Owens in a Street Fight. The duo collided in single's action in the opening contest of last week's show, but the match ultimately came to a close after outside interference from one half of the reigning Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy Uso.

Last week, Edge cost Judgment Day's Finn Balor his match against Johnny Gargano and later challenged his long-time rival to meet him out in the ring tonight. Issues between the two men date back to June of last year after Balor and his Judgment Day teammates Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley kicked Edge out of the group. Speaking of Priest, he will be returning to televised action as he joins forces with Dominik Mysterio to take on Gargano and Dexter Lumis.

Ahead of her match with Asuka for the "Raw" Women's Championship at "WrestleMania 39", current title holder Bianca Belair is set to go one-on-one with Chelsea Green. Green will surely be looking for some retribution for her newfound ally Carmella after Belair defeated "The Princess of Staten Island" last week.

Additionally, the winner of the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Cody Rhodes looks to pick up a win over "SmackDown" star LA Knight following a heated exchange on social media. Elias will also be taking on Bronson Reed after his protege Rick Boogs inadvertently threw out the challenge.

We are live! Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick greet audiences at home as Edge heads to the ring.

Edge Confronts Finn Balor

Edge says he knows why he's here and so does the WWE Universe. He calls Finn Balor out to the ring so they can put their issues to bed.

Judgment Day's music hits, and Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio appear on the ramp.

Balor says he wants to hear what Edge has to say. Edge says he didn't come to Providence to talk, but to end things. He says he knows Balor will just hide backstage while the rest of Judgment Day attacks him, and the cycle will just repeat itself. He says Balor challenged him to a match at WrestleMania a few weeks ago, and if he wants it, he's got it. Balor celebrates and brags about how he'll beat Edge, but Edge cuts him off and says he needs to accomplish what needs to be done before time runs out. He admits Balor makes Judgment Day better and calls the group an "emo delight", then says whatever he's doing has worked because the group has gotten the better of him. He says Balor forced him to utter the words "I Quit" and attacked his wife, then says there's only one way their issues can be resolved: in a Hell In A Cell match.

Balor says he's been to hell before, but hell spit him out because it couldn't handle his demons. He accepts Edge's challenge, then orders the rest of Judgment Day to attack him. Priest, Ripley, and Dominik attack Edge, but Dexter Lumis, Johnny Gargano, and Candice LeRae run down to the ring to provide Edge with some back up.

Back at ringside, Omos and MVP head down.

Lesnar's music hits and he heads to the ring.

Lesnar sizes up Omos before Omos makes a fist to show Lesnar the size of his hand. He then offers his hand to Lesnar, and Lesnar shakes it. Lesnar refuses to release it, which leads to Omos dumping him to the outside. Officials run down to make sure the two men stay apart from one another.

We then head to a video of Jey Uso turning on Sami Zayn following the main event of last week's "Raw", as well as Cody Rhodes confronting The Usos this past Friday on "SmackDown" and the subsequent brawl between the brothers, Rhodes, and Zayn.

He says it has been personal since he started appearing at 21 years old and he gets choked up every week. He says he acknowledges Roman Reigns, but Reigns needs to acknowledge him. He says his time since coming back to WWE has been perfect and he remains undefeated. He says he has earned nothing for all his hard work thus far, but at WrestleMania when the sun goes down in Hollywood, the sun also goes down on Reigns' title run. He says he will pin Reigns and become the first Rhodes to be the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
