WWE Raw Results 11/13 - Undisputed Tag Team Title Match, The Miz Vs. Ivar And More
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on November 13, 2023, coming to you live from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.!
Before they face one another in the Men's WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series, Judgment Day will be putting their Undisputed Tag Team Championship on the line against Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. Damian Priest and Finn Balor had previously dethroned Jey and Rhodes as titleholders on the October 16 edition of "Raw".
Last week, The Miz ensured that he would be the one to face GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship on November 25 after he defeated Ivar, Ricochet, and Bronson Reed in a Fatal Four-Way Number One Contenders match. However, Ivar came seconds away from winning when he pinned Ricochet as Miz simultaneously pinned Reed, but Ricochet managed to kick out at the last second. Tonight, Ivar has a chance to seek some retribution as he collides with "The A Lister".
After attacking her ally Candice LeRae backstage on October 23 and defeating her in a match due to referee stoppage the following week, Xia Li looks to score another win tonight as she squares off with Indi Hartwell. LeRae isn't the only one that has been blindsided by Li, as she forced Becky Lynch to be pulled from the Women's World Championship Number One Contenders Battle Royal last week after taking her out on the ramp.
Elsewhere in the women's division, one half of the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions Piper Niven will be going one-on-one with Tegan Nox. The two women, along with their respective partners Chelsea Green and Natalya, have found themselves at odds over the past few weeks.
Additionally, Ludwig Kaiser will be taking on Tommaso Ciampa as tensions between #DIY and Imperium continue to rise while Shinsuke Nakamura faces Otis following an in-ring confrontation last week. The aforementioned GUNTHER and Lynch, Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, and World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins are also all advertised to be in town tonight per WWE's event page.
We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the World Heavyweight Championship between Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Sami Zayn last week, as well as what happened following the match.
Michael Cole and Wade Barrett then greet audiences at home as Cody Rhodes makes his way down to the ring.
We Hear From Cody Rhodes
Rhodes asks Washington what they want to talk about, then says he knows what he wants to talk about. He says he and Jey Uso want to give fans a memory tonight, and says they will win back the Undisputed Tag Team Championship. He says while that's the immediate future, there is another important match to look ahead to: the Men's WarGames match.
Jey, Sami Zayn, and Seth "Freakin" Rollins then make their way down to the ring to join their teammate. Rhodes says all four men are in the ring for one reason, whether he's gotten along with them for all their careers, recently, or as former rivals.
Judgment Day's music hits, and Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh appear. Balor asks the four men in the ring how they're going to win WarGames and Priest points out that they're just four random men who are going against a family. Balor asks Rollins how it feels to be World Heavyweight Champion standing next to Rhodes, who he could never beat. Priest then asks Rhodes how he can beat all his teammates but never be champion. Balor tells Zayn that his partners know he's a loser after last week, and Priest questions whether Jey can really be trusted. Dominik looks to speak, but boos rain down on him and Zayn says the truth is no one wants to hear him talk. He says while Judgment Day wants to pit him and his teammates against each other, they're able to put all their issues aside. He tells Judgment Day they don't know what they're in for, and says the group will find out the hard way that the power lies with him and his teammates. Rhodes says he was surprised to see Judgment Day come out without Ripley given that she's the leader, and Priest says there is no leader. Rhodes asks if Dominik gets the orders when Ripley isn't around, and Priest becomes frustrated. He calls himself the leader before Rollins says he's done with talking. He proposes a tag team match seeing as himself, Zayn, Dominik, and McDonagh are dressed in their wrestling gear. Priest accepts on behalf of Dominik and McDonagh.

Zoey Stark's music hits and she appears. She tells Ripley that she knows exactly what she's doing in the ring and tells her that she's inside her head.

She says she went through the entire women's division to secure her title match and says Ripley has been overlooking her.
Ripley assures her that such isn't the case and she knew it was only a matter of time before they stood face-to-face in the ring. She lists off her accomplishments over the past few months, and tells Stark that she reminds her of herself. She says she is a future champion, but the only way she will be a titleholder is by being on the opposite brand that she is. She says she can handle everything on her plate and tells Stark to get out of her ring so she can deal with Pearce. Stark reminds Ripley that she nearly took her title from her at WWE Crown Jewel and says she will take her title from her at WWE Survivor Series. Ripley tries clocking her from behind, but Stark low bridges her out of the ring.
