RAW

Raw opens with a 10 bell salute for George Bush in his home state of Texas before the show officially kicks off with Ronda Rousey making her way to the ring.

Before the bell rings, The Riott Squad come out with a table. Jax and Tamina attack Nattie and Ronda while they are distracted. Rousey is sent into the steel steps while Natalya tries and fails to fend off The Riott Squad. Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan set up a table next to the ring as Ronda crawls across the ring. Jax and Tamina cut her off and take her down. Riott superkicks Natalya while Morgan and Logan hold her on the apron so they can use the momentum from the kick to powerbomb her through the table. Natalya is holding her elbow while officials check on her. The show heads to a break with Ruby and co. smiling on the stage.
Rousey is shown walking backstage with an injured Natalya before we head back to the ring for a segment with Alexa Bliss. She says her goal is to give the fans the best women's division in the world and announces a second open forum with Sasha Banks and Bayley before bringing them out.
The first fan asks about comments on social media implying Sasha is just using Bayley. They brush it off by saying they will be tag team partners for life. Another fan asks who they would face from any era and they say Trish and Lita at WrestleMania at the same time. A third fan asks what superpower they would have. The Hugger says she would want the ability to make things disappear so she could use it on Charly. The Boss says she agrees.
A fourth fan asks what they want to bring to the women's division in 2019. Bayley says they would love to be the first women's tag team champions. Dana Brooke, Mickie James and Alicia Fox run down to the ring to attack the BFFs but Bliss gets in between them and books Mickie and Fox to face Banks and Bayley right now.

Drew McIntyre Appreciation Night

Baron Corbin is in the ring when we return from the break. He gets a lot of heat from the crowd as he talks about his rise to power. He throws to a video package honoring Drew McIntyre.

Corbin brings McIntyre out and sucks up to him before presenting him with a special gold medal of excellence. 

McIntyre thanks him.

McIntyre brings up Finn Balor and calls him a boy in a man's world. He promises to break him at TLC before Dolph Ziggler's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Drew doesn't exactly look happy to see his partner. The Showoff says he brought McIntyre to Raw and they dominated together but he didn't see himself in the video package.

McIntyre says Ziggler wasn't invited and makes a short joke. He says he was always the brains and the muscle of their 

group and their business relationship isn't working for him 

anymore. He claims he just used Dolph to get to where he is and tells him to leave. The Showoff pounces on him and hits 

The Zig Zag before leaving. Corbin just stood there and did nothing, but then he acts all mad and books them in a match to start immediately.

Dean Ambrose comes out flanked by several security guards. All of them are wearing gas masks. Ambrose's jacket makes him look a little like Bane with his mask. He says he needed protection from the people of Texas and Seth Rollins

Ambrose gives a promo talking about how he will take the IC title from Rollins at TLC before The Architect's music hits. 

Seth comes out from the crowd to avoid the guards and he sends Ambrose out of the ring with a backdrop. He runs through all the security guards before Ambrose tries to run away through the crowd.
