RAW

Raw opens with a video package about Roman Reigns quest for the universal title and Bobby Lashley's returns after a decade to WWE.

Reigns is shown walking backstage when Lashley steps in his way. Bobby says if Reigns calls him out, he is going to tear him apart. Roman eventually makes his way out to the ring.

Reigns survey the crowd before speaking. He says nobody has ever challenged him to call them out, but it made him curious. He calls out Lashley like he wanted and drops the mic. It doesn't take long for Bobby to walk down the ramp.

Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin come out and the GM tells them to save it for Sunday. Lashley and Reigns ignore him and immediately start brawling. Angle sends half of the locker room to break up the fight, but they still manage to get to each other a few times.

Reigns and Lashley keep breaking through the crowd of Superstars to keep fighting each other. Reigns gets thrown into the ring while everyone else tries to force Lashley to the back. Roman gets a running start and dives over the top rope onto everyone. Several Superstars get taken down while the rest back Reigns up the ramp. Roman ends up sprinting back down the ramp to take a few more shots. Bobby gets in a few of his own before they are finally separated.


Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs. Nia Jax and Natalya 

Nia Jax and Natalya won 
Alexa hits Natalya with the kendo stick to take her out before she hits Nia several more times. Nia grabs the stick and breaks it over her knee to send Bliss running up the ramp in fear.

Charly Caruso interviews Jax backstage and she says Bliss' tactics won't work. She promises to leave with the title on Sunday. Then we get a recap of Owens being thrown off the stage in a port-o-potty last week.

Owens gives Angle a doctor's note showing he is not cleared to compete tonight. He says he will only be safe from Braun in Angle's office and sets up shop.


Mojo Rawley vs. No Way Jose
Mojo Rawley won

After another quick segment with Bayley and Banks in counseling together.

Rollins comes out and talks about what it felt like to lose the IC Title and he promises to win it back at Extreme Rules. Ziggy and McIntyre eventually interrupt his promo. Dolph actually puts over Rollins as one of the greatest to ever step into the ring, but he says he's not Dolph Ziggler.
Rollins asks McIntyre why he is taking orders from Ziggler in an attempt to create some tension between them. Rollins makes a joke about Drew having relations with a sheep and Ziggler has to hold him back. McIntyre challenges Rollins to a match tonight and Seth accepts. Rollins has to run when Drew rushes the ring after another sheep joke.


The B-Team comes out dressed like Hardy and Wyatt for Bo's match against Matt.

Angle calls McIntyre and Ziggler to his office. Drew is banned from ringside at Extreme Rules if he loses tonight. Back in the arena, Elias prepares to give us another performance.
Elias says he has been in the studio recording his debut album. The crowd pops, but it quickly turns against him when he insults Boston.

Strowman finds Owens in Angle's office and the GM books them in a steel cage match for Extreme Rules.
