RAW


The show opens with a narrated video package hyping the big storylines we will see addressed during the show.


Roman Reigns comes out. 

Roman says The Revival is extremely talented but he never thought he would lose to them. Then he blames the loss on having a bad tag team partner in Lashley. He challenges Bobby to come out and fight him right now. He keeps calling him Bob.


Reigns calls himself The Guy and The Big Dog expecting it to bring out Lashley, but Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre come out instead. Ziggler calls him an egotistical hypocrite and Drew says the same thing. McIntyre says they are here to return a favor, but Reigns takes the first shot. Ziggler and McIntyre get the upper hand right away, but Seth Rollins runs to the ring to save his friend.

Reigns and Rollins approach Angle backstage and he agrees to give them a match with Dolph and Drew next week. Reigns protests and Angle relents and books it for tonight. Does this mean Lashley and Reigns vs. The Revival is canceled? 
Back in the arena, Matt Hardy comes out solo since Bray Wyatt is out after his car accident. Axel comes on the big screen doing his Matt Hardy impression.

Dallas and Axel sing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" while Hardy watches from the ring with an unamused look on his face.



Matt Hardy vs. Curtis Axel

Curtis Axel won



Lashley and Reigns have a confrontation backstage before we get the first therapy session with Bayley.



Sasha Banks shows up and finds out her session was scheduled at the same time as Bayley's. Dr. Shelby brings them in and tells them to follow the rules of friendship. We will get more of their joint session later.




AOP vs. Titus Worldwide

AOP won



Kevin Owens is shown arriving at the arena and refusing to give his keys to the valet. He puts up his hoodie so he can enter without being seen by Braun Strowman.




Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre 

The Revival come through the crowd and attack Reigns to cause a DQ. Dolph and Drew join Dash and Dawson in beating down the former Shield members at ringside.




Baron Corbin comes to the ring to talk about how he is here to help everyone reach their full potential. He says there is always someone who is too proud to accept help and shows a clip of Finn kicking him last week during their tag match.

He invites Balor to the ring so Finn can apologize to him. Balor does come out, but he clearly has no intention of offering a sincere apology. Corbin offers an apology first, but it's not even a halfhearted apology. Finn says he is sorry Corbin got fired from TGI Friday's. Corbin gives him one last chance and Balor says the only apology Corbin is owed is from whoever gave him that haircut.

Corbin demands respect and an apology once and for all.

Balor says he is sorry Corbin stopped deserving respect the day he became Stephanie McMahon's stooge. Corbin levels him with a right hand, but Balor responds with a sling blade and a dropkick. Corbin escapes before Balor can leap off the top rope.



Ember Moon vs. Liv Morgan

Ember Moon won




Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley vs. The Revival

The Revival beat him down and the ref calls for the bell. Lashley leaves Roman to deal with it by himself.


Angle is shown telling Reigns he will get his match with Lashley at Extreme Rules. Back in the ring, 


No Way Jose is dancing as he prepares for his match against Mojo Rawley

Mojo grabs a mic and runs Jose down for thinking he deserves a rematch. Jose takes a shot at him and Mojo lays him out with a forearm to the back of the head. Then he grabs a guy dressed as a cheeseburger and throws him over the steel steps and spears him into the barricade. Jose tries to help his friend by gets rammed into the ring apron. Rawley hits a spinebuster on the apron before leaving.



Nia Jax vs. Mickie James

Nia Jax won



Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens

The bell rings and they lock up. KO gets pushed away with ease and rolls out of the ring. He ends up running away from the ring and gets counted out. Braun chases after him as Owens is shown looking for something backstage. He gets to his car and realizes he forgot his keys in the building. He looks for somewhere to hide and chooses a port-o-potty.

The crowd chants "port-o-potty" as Braun looks for Owens outside. He is about to head back in the building when he sees the place Owens is hiding. He knocks on the door and 

Owens tells him to go away. He duct tapes KO inside the port-o-potty and drags it back into the arena. 
Strowman gets the port-o-potty up on the stage just so he can knock it off the side onto the floor with Owens inside.



The show ends with officials trying to help Owens, who is covered in whatever blue stuff they put in those toilets.





Rating 70/70 Pretty decent show as we look onto Extreme Rules
