WWE RAW Results – 8/22/16


Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon are in the ring. They introduce the first ever WWE Universal Champion, Finn Balor. Balor walks out with his arm in a sling and his newly on Universal Championship over his other shoulder.

Balor grabs a mic as the crowd in Brooklyn starts a loud “YOU DESERVE IT” chant. “This championship represents a lifetime of sacrifice,” said Balor. “And it also represents that if you believe in yourself, you can achieve absolutely anything.” Balor talks about achieving the impossible by becoming the WWE Universal Champion at SummerSlam. He adds a sacrifice was made in doing so. Balor wants to thank the WWE Universe, the talent in the back and Seth Rollins “for giving me the match of my life.” He said he most importantly wants to thank all of the fans. A loud “THANK YOU FINN” chant breaks out. Balor said it is him who should be thanking the fans. “But for now, I have to relinquish this title.” The crowd starts up a loud “NO” chant at Balor. He said he is coming back for this title when he is healthy and ready to go. Mick Foley walks over and removes the Universal Championship off his shoulder. Foley gives Balor a hug and raises his arm in the air.

Balor exits the ring and takes one last look back at the fans in attendance when the music of Seth Rollins hits. Rollins walks out smiling and staring down Balor. Rollins heads down the ramp with a big grin on his face. He grabs a mic. “What a shame, what a pity,” says Rollins. Rollins points up at Balor who is still on stage and says now we know who the real winner was at SummerSlam last night. He thinks tonight should be a celebration and points out how he’s been part of some fabulous championship celebrations with Stephanie. Rollins points out how Stephanie is here, Foley is here and the new WWE Universal Championship is here. He suggests we have a championship celebration right here and right now.

New WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte speaks

New WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte and Dana Brooke are on the way to the ring. Dana starts a “YOU DESERVE IT” chant for Charlotte. Charlotte says, “Damn right I deserve it!” She calls herself the greatest female athlete in the world. Charlotte says forget about Serena Williams, Simone Biles and most importantly Sasha Banks. She talks about exposing Banks as being all flash and no cash. Charlotte said she is the money of this women’s division. She puts herself over as a two-time WWE Women’s Champion. “I didn’t need my father. I didn’t need Dana. I did it all by myself.”
Foley wants to congratulate Charlotte for raising the bar with Sasha Banks. He informs Charlotte that Banks will be granted a rematch for the WWE Women’s Championship. Charlotte says she will break the back of Banks again. She asks Foley for the night off and doesn’t think anyone else is worthy in the back. Foley says not so fast. He said some aspects of this job are hard like making Finn Balor give up his title. Foley says other parts bring him joy. He informs Charlotte that they have just signed the hottest free agent.
