RAW

RAW opens up with a recap of last week’s RAW when Roman Reigns relinquishes the Universal Title due to the return of leukemia. 
Corbin is in the ring when we go live and he wishes Reigns the best in his battle against leukemia, but he hopes he doesn't return to Raw. He has the universal title on his shoulder. Brock Lesnar's music hits and he heads to the ring with Paul Heyman.
Corbin tries to hype Lesnar vs. Strowman, but Heyman interrupts him and tells Corbin to leave the intros to him. Heyman says it's a guarantee Lesnar will leave Crown Jewel with the title.
Strowman eventually makes his way out to respond. He tells Lesnar he will "Get these hands." Corbin tries to get between them, but Braun shoves him away. Baron attacks and The Monster Among Men powerslams him, much to Lesnar's delight. Brock picks up the belt while Braun hits another powerslam. The Beast delivers an F5 after Strowman hits Corbin with a third powerslam.

Finn Balor vs. Bobby Lashley
Finn Balor won by DQ because of Lio Rush getting involved.
Lashley grabs Balor in a full nelson and wears him down while Rush talks trash. Lio slaps him a few times before Bobby drops him on his face. Rush gets a text on his phone and shows it to Bobby. They head to the back together.


Lashley and Rush find Corbin in the trainer's room after the break. He tells Bobby he likes what he did to Finn and tells him he is in the World Cup tournament at Crown Jewel. Baron tells him he is replacing Cena because he never qualified. It’s honestly probably because Cena doesn’t want to be involved with this whole Crown Jewel thing.


WWE announced that at Survivor Series we will see Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch

After Cole shows exclusive footage of Becky and Ronda having a confrontation last night, we head back to the ring for a 10-woman tag match.

Lita and Trish, Natalya, Sasha Banks and Bayley vs. The Riott Squad, Mickie James and Alicia Fox
Lita and Trish, Natalya, Sasha Banks and Bayley won


Elias is in the ring after the break and he says Ric Flair has been begging to hang out with him. He replays the video from last week when he hit Corbin with his guitar. Elias says 
he is going to head backstage and give Corbin a personal
concert with his new song. Elias knocks on Corbin's door and the GM tells him to go away. Elias plays the song outside his door.
Elias' song gets Corbin to come out of his office, but he 
slams the door in Elias' face. Jinder Mahal attacks Elias from behind for some reason. Corbin comes out and mocks Elias before telling him to get to the ring for a match.

Elias won


After the break, Cole throws to a video for Kurt Angle.


The Ascension vs. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs. AOP in a Triple Threat Match

Akam and Rezar immediately attack them.


Seth Rollins comes out after the break to talk about Dean Ambrose turning on him after they won the tag titles last week. He thanks the fans for sending their love to Roman over the past week. He asks himself if Ambrose turning on him was his own fault because of what happened four years ago.
Rollins asks Ambrose to come out so he can explain his actions. Dean's music hits but he doesn't come out. He appears in the crowd and Seth demands an answer from him. Ambrose teases answering his questions but ends up saying nothing. Rollins calls him cold-hearted for doing what he did on the same night Reigns announced his illness. Seth promises to make Dean's life a living hell and calls him a lunatic. That seems to be what gets under Ambrose's skin. Rollins heads into the crowd to meet him, but Ambrose just walks away.


Nia Jax vs. Ember Moon
Jax rolls her back in the ring and prepares to finish her off when Tamina heads down to the ring. Nia uses the distraction to take Moon down and hit a leg drop for the win. Tamina gets in the ring and stares Nia down. Tamina chooses to back off.


The Revival vs. Lucha House Party
Lucha House Party won



Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre come out after the break to talk about Crown Jewel. They take credit for breaking up The Shield. Drew says he will be watching Lesnar vs. Strowman very carefully. Then, Ziggler talks about Angle wanting to win the World Cup. He says he has looked up to Angle for what he did for wrestling but he promises to beat him in Saudi Arabia along with everyone else.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews
Dolph Ziggler won

After the break, Kane and The Undertaker come out to hype Crown Jewel one more time. Taker says they will defeat DX at Crown Jewel and take their souls to the fiery gates of hell. Triple H comes out and distracts Kane so HBK can sneak in and hit Sweet Chin Music to Taker. Before they leave, Taker sits up and stares at them as the show ends. Rating 80/80: Great show and matches.
