WWE RAW results for January 30, 2023
WWE RAW Tulsa, Oklahoma
Commentators are Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick.
– Tonight is WWE RAW, the red show starts with a video of Cody Rhodes returning to the 2023 Royal Rumble with a huge victory (results are here). Cody then comes to the ring. The crowd chants that it is worthy. Cody asks what we want to talk about. Cody says that new people watch the show every week. So he’ll start by saying he’s not the same guy who started here so many years ago. He started out in Ohio Valley Wrestling and thought he would be WWE Champion in less than two years. He was ambitious and a bit crazy, thinking he was the next John Cena. So if he could step back and talk to his 19 year old self. Was she going to tell him it wouldn’t happen? That he is going to win the Intercontinental title to return to his former glory? Paint your face? Fall and find glory? Advise him to go scouting in 2015 and finally come back in 2023 to get a ticket to WrestleMania, the first in the family to do so? The truth is, he wouldn’t tell her anything. Because every shot in the ring was worth 100%.
Cody says Kingdom music will accompany him everywhere. But in the beginning, wrestling is said to have more than one royal family. There’s more to WWE than royalty. But to be true and authenticated, it must stand in front of the full Bloodline, in front of the Head of the Tribe, in front of the Head of the Table, another family. A guy named Roman Reigns who has been champion for over 800 days. He says this sincerely. WrestleMania 62 days will be 62 days to the end of its life. That evening, someone else will eat at this family table. Reigns may be the biggest Superstar at the end of the night, but he will no longer be the WWE Universal Champion. Doomsday arrives at the scene. Finn Balor asks if Rhodes is coming to do something original or if he’s coming to copy what he did.
Dominic Mysterio says that as a bonus, Cody ruined his Doomsday plans at WrestleMania. Rhea Ripley was able to win, but she should have won the Men’s Rumble Match. Balor says that speaking of the Rumble, we’re all wondering why Rey Mysterio couldn’t participate in the match. Dominique says Cody ruined her moment. But what if Cody made this gesture in prison? Cody wasn’t going to stop anymore. Damian Priest says Dominic should be the only wrestler from the family to qualify for WrestleMania. Meanwhile, Cody is ranked 30th, like everything else. Dominique says Cody needs to apologize to him now. Cody says he doesn’t want to disappoint them, but Dominic has to ask if he’s trying to scare him. Speaking of royalty, she has nothing but respect for Ray. Dominic says it’s funny how he doesn’t respect his father, and especially Cody’s father. Cody says with 62 days left, he can play it safe and stay healthy, or he can shoot Dominique or any of the three here and tonight.
Cody celebrates in the ring with the fans, but Edge comes in and starts hitting the members of Doomsday. Cody comes in to help Edge, the officials come in to separate everyone.
– After the break, it was announced that Austin Theory will be a guest of the VIP Lounge tonight.

– Again, we present the video of Rhea Ripley’s Royal Rumble victory.
– Rhea Ripley comes to the ring and takes the microphone. Ripley says she’s been here for a long time without DomDom and Doomsday, but she wanted to focus on herself. Two nights ago, he did the unthinkable. She entered at number one to defeat 29 other women to win the Royal Rumble Match. Now he can choose which champion he wants to face at WrestleMania. Three years ago, his career was taking off and he was the NXT Champion. She came to RAW and challenged Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair to a match at WrestleMania. And Charlotte put him in his place. The funny thing is, Charlotte is still in the picture for the title, she’s still on top of her game, and she’s getting better every year. Charlotte Flair is still on top in WWE. But he is disruptive and cannot allow normality to take over. So she advises anyone who bows to Queen Charlotte to take advantage, as they will all soon be facing off against Rhea Ripley. At WrestleMania, she will put Charlotte in her place, she chooses Charlotte.
– Backstage, Cathy is with Seth Rollins to talk about Elimination Chamber. Rollins says he got a big win over Chad Gable and now he’s going to the Elimination Chamber to beat the other five guys and regain the US title. And then it’s off to WrestleMania in Hollywood. Cathy Logan asks for Paul’s comments on being eliminated. Rollins laughs and leaves.
– Come back, the wrestlers are coming.

Baron Corbin Accompanied by JBL vs. Johnny Gargano Accompanied by Dexter Loomis
