Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor announced for WWE Raw
A new match has been made official for Monday’s episode of Raw.
WWE has announced that Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor will take place on Raw this Monday night. It will be the latest chapter in the rivalry between The Mysterios and The Judgment Day.
At SummerSlam, Rey & Dominik Mysterio defeated The Judgment Day (Balor & Damian Priest w/ Rhea Ripley) in a no disqualification match when Edge returned and came to the aid of The Mysterios. It was Edge’s first appearance since The Judgment Day turned against him this June.
The post-SummerSlam episode of Raw saw Rey & Dominik unsuccessfully challenge The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles. When The Judgment Day attacked The Mysterios after the match, Edge made the save. But Edge accidentally speared Dominik when Ripley pushed Dominik in the way. Edge was attempting to spear Balor.
After accidentally spearing Dominik, Edge chased Balor through the crowd.
This will be the second time Rey Mysterio and Balor have ever faced off one-on-one. Balor defeated Rey in a singles match on Raw last month.
Monday’s Raw is being held at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The updated lineup for the episode is listed below:
- United States Champion Bobby Lashley defends against Ciampa
- The WWE Women’s Tag Team title tournament begins
- Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor
