RAW

RAW starts with Randy Orton, as he makes his way out to the ring to start the show.  

We see a video package highlighting Orton’s actions lately.
He says that he knows that he is supposed to face Matt Hardy in a No Holds Barred match, but that won't happen. 

Orton is interrupted by Matt Hardy, who comes out wearing a neck brace, asking Orton to confess why he did it.  

Hardy says that he knows Orton wanted to take everything away from him, but he's here to fight him. Matt Hardy says that he is not being cleared by WWE doctors backstage, but he is not going to quit and he will always get back up, much like Edge.  

Orton says that Matt Hardy should have said goodbye last week, as Matt enters the ring.  

Randy Orton says that he could RKO Matt, and he could do nothing. He then says that no one will understand why he did what he did, and that he respects Matt, and respects Edge, and he is truly sorry. 

Orton leaves the ring, but Matt Hardy feels he will come back, and grabs a chair in anticipation.  

Orton brushes aside the steel chair, then hangs Matt up on the rope on the already hurt neck. This is a superb move. An RKO to Matt Hardy. He grabs the chair and starts to beat down Matt.

 Orton is now using the side of the chair to hit Matt over and over again in the ribs, followed by a shot to the back of the neck. If he was not being cleared before, there's no chance he's getting cleared now. He prepares for a Con-Chair-To.  

He takes off the neck piece from Matt. And that's it?  

Orton pauses before hitting the Con-Chair-To. It's as if he comes to his senses, and he looks around.  

 He pauses and leaves, and then returns again. He's certainly hearing voices now. He drags Matt outside and puts his head on the lower steps. He picks up a steel chair, and hits a Con-Chair-To on the steps. 

 He hits another Con-Chair-To, screams 'I'm Sorry' and runs away.

 Seth Rollins thanks everyone for making him their Monday Night Messiah.  
 Seth Rollins claims that phase 1 of the movement was completed last week when Akam, Rezar, Murphy and he defeated Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and The Viking Raiders. He says that the work is going to begin now.  

 Seth Rollins promises that phase 2 will be for everyone's betterment. He promises to find all the flaws in the system and eradicate them all.

 Styles says he's the only one who has the bragging rights in WWE and that's what he's going to get at Super ShowDown 
  
He says after that he does not care who's next, be it Shawn Michaels, Sting, Ricochet, Roman Reigns, or anyone else, he's going to be dominant. 

 AJ Styles is interrupted by Ricochet. Styles says he does not think that Ricochet is going to be the new WWE Champion.  

 Ricochet says he is more than ready to prove himself and challenges AJ Styles to a match right now.  

 Karl Anderson says that he can't allow AJ's match to be again Ricochet.
