RAW



The show opens with Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre coming to the ring with every heel on the Raw roster as their backup. The trio gets in the ring while everyone else surrounds it.


Strowman calls his group the Dogs of War and Ziggler commends the men at ringside for standing up to The Shield last week. The Shield's music hits and they appear in the crowd.


Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns head through the crowd and start fighting everyone at ringside. They actually get the upper hand by using axe handles. They take out over a dozen Superstars while The Dogs of War retreat up the ramp.


After the break we see The Shield arguing with some cops. Corbin walks in and tells them to put down the weapons so they don't get arrested. He says if they don’t leave the arena, Rollins and Reigns  will lose their titles. Seth agrees to the terms and they drop their axe handles before walking away.

AOP vs. Jobbers

Triple H comes out and talks about a poll on WWE.com that showed 81% of fans think The Undertaker will win their match. He says things like that don't bother people at his level, but Shawn Michaels got under Taker's skin last week. Hunter seems confused by the idea of The Undertaker getting angry at Michaels for predicting Triple H would win. He says watching their interaction made him mad because it 

showed how Taker has lost respect for himself.

Triple H promises to use the last bit of respect he has for The Deadman to put him down in Australia.

As they celebrate, Ambrose and Rollins come out of nowhere to attack them.



Rollins and Ambrose use a local sheriff to threaten Baron Corbin for filing a false police report last week. Corbin and Rollins talk privately and Seth seems happy with whatever agreement they came to.



Back in the arena, Kevin Owens prepares to face Tyler Breeze.

Owens attacks Breeze while he is posing on the apron. He powerbombs Prince Pretty into the side of the ring before grabbing a mic. He says Corbin begged him to come back after he quit two weeks ago. He says he came back and now his job is to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Owens tells the crowd to blame Bobby Lashley because he injured Sami Zayn.




Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs. The Ascension

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won




Ronda Rousey and Natalya vs. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

Elias is out after the break to do his usual routine of insulting the crowd before attempting to sing a song. He claims Drew Brees told him he is sick of representing New Orleans. As he prepares to sing, Mick Foley's music interrupts him.

Elias says he was there when Foley was thrown off of the cell and he saw how it changed his life. He calls Foley a broken man who has been singing the same sad song for 20 years. The crowd chants for Mr. Socko. Foley tells the story of being carted away on the stretcher before he came back to get chokeslammed through the roof of the cell. He says it made him feel more alive than he has ever felt before.



Foley announces that he will be the special guest ref for Roman vs. Braun inside Hell in a Cell. Elias tells him to shut up and stop wasting his time. Foley gets in his face and says he is going to listen to what he has to say. He says Stephanie gave him the power to make one match tonight, so he is booking Elias vs. Finn Balor next.

Finn Balor won




Charly Caruso tells Braun Strowman if he wants to find Reigns, he should go to the ring so Reigns can find him.

Strowman is out after the break and he wastes no time calling out Reigns. He makes sure to look all around the arena so he doesn't get blindsided. He calls Reigns a coward when he doesn't show up.

Roman shows up on top of the announce table, so Braun goes up to meet him. Reigns hits a Superman Punch, but Strowman easily takes control by slamming him into the LED board. He clears off the announce table and puts The Big Dog on top of it. Roman picks him up and hits a Samoan drop from the top of the table through the stage down to the floor.





The show ends with Roman Reigns standing tall on the ramp holding the Universal Title will this be the seen at HIAC?





Rating: 80/80

Great show and matches as we look on to HIAC
