RAW

Vince McMahon makes a rare appearance to open the show and welcome Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to the ring to make a historic announcement. Most of the roster is on the stage for this.

Before they make the announcement, Triple H says he wants to acknowledge all of the Superstars across all of the brands and anyone who has ever stepped into a WWE ring and then he talks about the bonds and trust formed between Superstars who work together in the ring. Then he asks all of the women to step forward on the stage.

Stephanie says things only happen if the fans want it to happen and that is why the women's division has grown so much over the past few years. Stephanie announces all women's PPV called Evolution with upwards of 50 Superstars competing that night.

Elias is back after the break to plug his new album, but he is interrupted again. This time, Braun Strowman is the man who heads to the ring while Elias sits on the stage.

Strowman congratulates all of the women on the opportunity to have their own PPV, especially Alexa Bliss. Then he talks about Lashley and Reigns fighting for a shot at Lesnar's Universal Championship and how he doesn't care who holds the title when he decides to cash in his MITB contract. Kevin Owens' music hits and he comes out onto the stage with his arm wrapped up.

Owens says Braun has a lot of nerve acting like business between them is over after what he did at Extreme Rules. He says he tried to be friends with Strowman because his son wanted him to. He says his kids are afraid for him now because of what Braun did, so he vows to take everything away from Strowman. Constable Corbin comes out and says Steph gave him the power to handle this situation. He claims he found someone who can make Braun control his temper before Jinder Mahal comes out.
Mahal says he wants to help Strowman find his calm. He tries to teach Braun some breathing exercises, but Strowman says he doesn't need Mahal's help. He teaches Jinder his own mantra of "Get these hands" before he takes out Mahal and Sunil Singh.


Natalya vs. Mickie James
Mickie James won




AOP ask for some real competition and specify they want to face anyone but Titus Worldwide, which forces Titus, Apollo and Dana to come out for a response. Titus puts them over as a great team, but also says they have a lot to learn. Crews talks about everything Titus has taught him since they joined forces. Akam and Rezar say the only thing Titus can do for them is walk away and retire. O'Neil and Crews pounce on them. They end up sending AOP out of the ring.
