RAW

The show opens with a quick recap of the NBC Universal upfronts from earlier today where Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship was made. 
In the arena, Roman Reigns makes his entrance. 
He says last week he was robbed, and this time it wasn’t by WWE management, but rather by Jinder Mahal. So he’s gonna cut right to the chase, and if Jinder wants to be more relevant than he’s ever been, he’ll come down to the yard and face him like a man.
Kurt Angle comes out instead and says that Mahal won't be coming out. Angle received a call over the weekend and was told that Mahal should be in a MITB and will face Bobby Lashley and Elias tonight.
Roman says he should be added so he can beat Jinder and qualify for the MITB.
Angle tells Roman that WWE won't give him another opportunity but Reigns says that he will go and do what he has to do and walks to the back. 
Backstage, Roman asks around for Jinder. The two find each other and get into a fight, which spills back to the stage. However, security separates the two and Roman is sent to the back.
