RAW


RAW  opens in the arena with Roman Reigns making his way to the ring.

Reigns say last night may not have gone according to plan, but he is still the champion and that is all that matters. He says if Lesnar wants his rematch he can come and get it right now. Braun Strowman comes out instead.

Baron Corbin comes out and says Reigns and Strowman need to slow their roll because they are not going to have a rematch right now. He says he was upset with how their match ended and has been trying to figure out a solution. He announces Reigns vs. Strowman vs. Lesnar will headline an event in Saudi Arabia called Crown Jewel. Braun says the situation and everyone in the arena sucks and storms off. That is when Paul Heyman comes out with the door of Hell in a Cell being carried by some PAs.

Corbin books himself in a title match against Reigns for later tonight.




Dean Ambrose vs. Drew McIntyre

Corbin runs into Ziggler and McIntyre backstage. He tries to talk Ziggler into invoking his rematch clause tonight. Ziggler is hesitant but agrees once he finds out Rollins might not even be in the building and would be stripped of the IC title if he doesn't show up.

Konnor attacks Gable and Roode after the match and leaves them laying in the ring.

The Undertaker makes his way to the ring to the usual pop from the WWE Universe. He stands silent while the crowd chants his name. He talks about how Triple H has a broken soul.


Taker says Triple H is a corporate guy now and he vows to defeat him again at Super Show-Down. He has the crowd in the palm of his hand. He says Shawn Michaels will be in

Ronda Rousey comes out to issue an open challenge for the RAW WomensTitle

She starts by saying Bliss gave a great performance last night and admits she was pushed to her limits. She challenges anyone to come out and take her title from her. Natalya's music hits but she doesn't come out. Instead, we see The Riott Squad drag her out unconscious from the back.

Riott says she is accepting the challenge, but Rousey hits her with a stiff right as soon as she gets on the apron. She takes on all three members of the group until Logan hits her with a knee to the injured ribs. They gang up on her until The Bella Twins run down to make the save.


Elias is in the ring after the break. He strums a quick tune before talking about having to face Lashley tonight. He was interrupted by Lio Rush and then Lio does the introductions for Bobby Lashley.


Bobby Lashley vs. Elias

Kevin Owens' music hits and he immediately goes after Rush for talking trash about him. Lio uses his agility to escape his and Elias' grasp for a little while. Owens grabs him for a powerbomb but Lashley saves him. Then Bobby picks up Lio and throws him into Owens and Elias. Rush gets on his shoulders as they celebrate.
