RAW

The show opens with Dean Ambrose backstage receiving a call from Kurt Angle before he heads out to the ring.
After Ambrose announced he is tonight's acting GM, The Miz comes out with Maryse and mocks the crowd for cheering for The Lunatic Fringe.
The Miz lets Ambrose know Stephanie called him and gave him the position of co-GM tonight. Ambrose offers his hand to Miz for a handshake and promises there won't be any funny business. The Miz is about to shake it when Braun Strowman's music hits.
He tells Ambrose he is going to get what he wants no matter who is in charge. He says once his arm is healed, he is going to end Roman Reigns.
Strowman says he wants to face Lesnar, but then Kalisto's new music hits and he comes out on the stage. He tells Braun they have unfinished business.
Kalisto demands a match against Strowman tonight. Strowman says he could beat Kalisto with one arm, so Ambrose books Kalisto to face him with Strowman having one arm tied behind his back. Braun just drops the mic and leaves.
Before he leaves, Ambrose books The Miz to take on Finn

The Miz vs. Finn Balor

Miz shoves Balor into the ref and then grabs a mic and says as co-GM, he can't allow Balor to put his hands on a ref. He demands the ref DQ.
Ambrose comes out and restarts the match after banning Maryse from ringside. Balor attacks Miz on the ramp and brings him back in the ring for a sling blade, dropkick and Coup de Grace for the win.



Nia Jax confronts Bliss backstage and says she wants the next title shot after Bayley. Alexa tries to say she doesn't have the power to make that happen in an attempt to brush her off. Jax says until she gets a match, she will watch Alexa's back.

Samoa Joe gives an interview backstage saying Rollins shouldn't be in 

line for a title shot because they aren't done with each other yet. He says 

Rollins will hear every one of his bones break. Rollins comes out of nowhere and attacks him.They fight throughout a loading area until several officials break them apart.



Braun Strowman vs. Kalisto

Strowman grabs a mic and tells Ambrose to shove it and refuses to accept the match. He calls Reigns a coward for not facing him man to 
man, but then the bell rings and he lays out Kalisto with a boot to the face. Reigns' music hits.
Roman kicks Braun in his injured arm before hitting a series of Superman Punches to knock him down and out of the ring. Strowman hits a boot to put Reigns down outside the ring. Roman uses the ring post to inflict some extra damage to his bad arm. They go back and forth all around ringside, with Roman finally forcing Braun to retreat after using a steel chair.
