Tag match, Tommaso Ciampa vs. Bronson Reed official for WWE Raw
A pair of new matches have been made official for Monday’s episode of Raw.
WWE has announced that New Day’s Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods will take on The Viking Raiders in tag team action this Monday night. A singles match with Tommaso Ciampa facing Bronson Reed has also been confirmed.
New Day returned to action by defeating The Viking Raiders on the August 7 episode of Raw. Kingston had been out of action since undergoing ankle surgery this March.
This past Monday, The Viking Raiders got involved in a match between New Day and Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle. New Day won the match but were then attacked by Ivar & Erik.
New Day told McIntyre & Riddle later in the show that they’d be happy to give them a rematch in the future. Woods & Kingston encouraged McIntyre & Riddle to keep their team going.
The announcement of Reed vs. Ciampa comes after Reed issued a challenge to Ciampa on Raw Talk. Reed, who defeated Ciampa in their first meeting, vowed to beat him again.
Monday is Raw’s go-home show for Payback. The updated card for the episode is listed below:
- Falls count anywhere match: Becky Lynch vs. Zoey Stark
- Chad Gable vs. Ludwig Kaiser
- New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs. The Viking Raiders
- Bronson Reed vs. Tommaso Ciampa
