RAW

The show opens with Jerry Lawler in the ring ready to oversee the divorce of Lana and Rusev.

Lana comes out with her lawyer. Rusev comes out in a shirt with a picture of Donald Duck on it. He gives Lawler a big hug and looks like he is on top of the world. Lana says she used to love Rusev and defended him when nobody believed in him.

Lana says the Rusev Day movement went to his head and the crowd starts chanting for Rusev. She blames the fans for being part of the problem. Rusev plays the clip of her and Lashley being arrested last week. Lana says Rusev will never find someone as good as her ever again. He says he can barely stand her so he wouldn't want someone just like her again. She flips out and yells at him.

Lana tells the booing crowd to have some respect and Rusev suggests they sign on the dotted line. She says she is signing first and she gets the dog. Rusev's only complaint is that he wants the dog. She signs the divorce papers and he says he needs one more thing from her. She thinks he wants to have sex one more time but he says he just wants a match with Bobby Lashley. The All Mighty comes out.

Lashley ends up attacking Rusev after saying he plans to marry Lana. Rusev hits the Machka Kick and puts Lashley through the table with a belly to belly suplex.

He says he can move between brands because he has a managerial license. He says he is a liberator and he wants to set Rawley free. Sami says KO was out of line when he slapped Rawley. He asks Kevin to apologize to Mojo.
Owens tosses Mojo the pipe and hits him with a Stunner. Sami reads the room and leaves the ring while KO unloads on Rawley with the pipe.

We see Owens doing some damage to AOP’s van with his lead pipe backstage. They attack him and end up hitting his head with a car door. Rollins appears in the van to reveal he was behind it as if that was supposed to be a surprise. He says he is sorry before he hits a Stomp on the concrete floor.

When we return from the break, Rollins makes his way out and asks what the crowd wants from him. He says he and the crowd used to get along and somewhere along the way it went wrong. He says he did everything right. He doesn't take nights off and fights through injuries to perform for the crowd every night and he gets spit on and disrespected.

Rollins says he had nothing to do with AOP until tonight. He goes off on the crowd for being ungrateful in what might be his best promo in years. He says he was forced to side with AOP because he had no other choice. Akam and Rezar come stand next to him and a new stable has formed.

Kairi puts Becky through the table with an InSane Elbow. A few officials help Becky while The tag champs gloat on the stage.



Erick Rowan vs. Jobber

The ref stopped the match but it didn’t prevent Rowan from continuing his attack after the bell and accusing the jobber of trying to hurt someone he loved.



Becky and Charlotte will challenge The Kabuki Warriors for the women's tag team titles on Sunday. We also get a Weekend Update-like segment with The Street Profits.



Rey Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles for the US Title

Randy Orton slides into the ring and then slides right back out without doing anything. Rey rolls up AJ for the pin and the win right as the show goes off the air.


Rating: 70/70

Great show and matches as we look forward to WWETLC.
