RAW

The show opens with a recap of Alexa Bliss cashing in Money in the Bank last night to win the title from Nia Jax.

Kurt Angle brings out Alexa Bliss to present her with the Raw women's title, which is apparently something she demanded. He says Jax isn't there, but she wants her rematch at Extreme Rules.


The crowd chants for Ronda Rousey as Bliss brags about her wins in the ladder and title matches last night. Then Rousey's music hits and she marches to the ring. Angle stops her from reaching Alexa.


Alexa talks a bunch of trash knowing Angle is between them. Rousey gets past Angle and attacks Bliss. Angle gets involved and Ronda throws him to the mat. She grabs the briefcase and hits Bliss several times. She hits Angle when he tries to stop her. Then she beats up the refs who come out to stop her. Ronda has lost it! She picks up Bliss on her shoulders and powerbombs her through the table in the ring.



Angle tells Rousey backstage that he is suspending her for 30 days after the attack. 


Seth Rollins comes out after the break to talk about retaining the IC title against Elias last night. He gives Elias credit for taking him to the limit before saying he is willing to put his title up again in an open challenge. Dolph Ziggler appears to be answering the call, but then Drew McIntyre follows him out.

We see a brief recap of the Money in the Bank ladder match from last night, Braun Strowman comes out to a big ovation. Jojo announces him as Mr. Monster in the Bank.
Kevin Owens comes out looking pretty beat up after Strowman brags about dominating everyone to win the MITB 
match. He says despite what happened, he wanted to be the first one to congratulate him.
Owens says Braun should listen to the advice he has to give. He says they are similar in a lot of ways and Strowman has never needed anyone to watch his back until now. He offers Strowman an alliance if they can help each other out. He asks for the first shot once Strowman becomes champion. 
Braun shakes Kevin's hand, but he doesn't let go. Owens knows what is going to happen right away and looks down at the ground. Braun scoops him up, but Owens is able to escape his grasp and head up the ramp.

Before Hardy and Wyatt can face Slater and Rhyno, Axel and Dallas come on the big screen mocking them.
