6/23 WWE RAW Live Results – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s live coverage of WWE RAW for June 2, live from the Nationwide Arena from Columbus, Ohio.
We are live from the Nationwide Arena from Columbus, Ohio, as Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring.
We are told that LA Knight is out indefinitely due to the injuries suffered last week.
Seth welcomes everyone and he tells us who he is. He says he is getting mixed signals. He wants to know what do they want. The crowd chants for CM Punk. Seth says one minute you are chanting for CM Punk, the next minute you are chanting for Roman, then you are barking for the dog, then you are singing his song (and the crowd does all of it). He says it is painfully obvious to you that you have no idea what you want. He says he does not care what you wan. You don’t know what’s good for you so you need people like him to tell you what is good for you. Seth asks to do an experiment. The things you think you want are because of him. He says Roman Reigns exists because of him. CM Punk says he came back because you chanted his name? He is back in WWE because this company wanted to cash in on how much he hates CM Punk.
Cody Rhodes, there is no second coming of Cody Rhodes unless he is there to put him on the map. He was the World Champion. He was the first NXT Champion. Those exist because he built them in his image. He says he is the prime mover. He says he is the past, present, and future of this company. Between him and his oracle, they know a thing or two about revolutions. Every revolution faces opposition. He says he will deal with that opposition diplomatically until they push him and force his hand. That is what happened to LA Knight. He stuck his nose in our business and he got Tsunami after Tsunami after Tsunami for his troubles. In a few minutes, Bron has an opportunity to do the same thing to another person who has been a thorn in their side, Penta.
Seth says he will make this clear. There are a lot of people who think they have what it takes to survive at the top. People like John Cena and Gunther, or their challengers CM Punk and Goldberg. The people left in the King of the Ring Tournament. What these men fail to understand, they are all running a race for second place. This (briefcase) is the finish line. This is the end game. It has and will always be Seth Rollins.
Penta music hits and we have the scheduled match.

6/23 WWE RAW Preview
The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are heating up as the semi-finals take center stage on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. In a clash of friends-turned-rivals, Cody Rhodes will battle Jey Uso for a spot in the finals. Rhodes earned his place by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura, Damian Priest, and Andrade, while Uso advanced after overcoming Bronson Reed, Rusev, and Sheamus—despite carrying the physical toll of recent attacks.
On the women’s side, Jade Cargill faces Roxanne Perez in a first-time-ever showdown. Cargill bulldozed her way through Michin, Nia Jax, and Piper Niven, while Perez pulled off a surprise win over Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, and Kairi Sane. It’s a classic power-versus-speed matchup, with Perez’s underdog grit going up against Cargill’s dominance.
Meanwhile, Becky Lynch will defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Bayley. Though Lynch initially refused to put the title on the line, Raw GM Nick Aldis stepped in and made the match official, citing Bayley’s missed WrestleMania opportunity as justification. With years of history between them, this title bout promises to be personal and intense.
