Opening Segment:
Stephanie McMahon starts off the show. Stephanie was just about to welcome everyone to RAW but Shane McMahon interrupts her. Stephanie gives Shane a red bag for their new partnership and it is the picture that Vince broke of Shane and Vince McMahon together. Shane was just about to say his plans for the show, but Kevin Owens interrupted. Kevin Owens says that he has an idea for the show. Owens thinks that the first decision should be giving him a rematch for the Intercontinental Title. Owens says that he wants his rematch, tonight. Cesaro is soon to come out after. Cesaro said at Payback, he had The Miz beat. The Miz tapped out. Shane announces that Cesaro against Kevin Owens will go on next and it will be to find out who is next in line for the Intercontinental Championship.
Cesaro vs Kevin Owens
The Miz came out for commentary during this match. The Miz and Michael Cole were bickering back in forth on commentary…weird remember when these two were the best of friends. Kevin Owens went to grab The Miz’s title and hit Cesaro with it but Miz took it back. Cesaro then hit an uppercut on Miz. Miz interfered in the match. The Miz and Owens were beating up Cesaro until Sami Zayn evened the odds. Sami Zayn was holding the Intercontinental Championship and the St. Louis fans began to chant YES! .
WINNER: No Contest
Goldust w/ Fandango vs Tyler Breeze w/ R-Truth
So R-Truth has a selfie stick but it is actually a stick with his phone tapped to it, that was fantastic. Tyler Breeze is getting TV time, which is great. Goldust and R-Truth are finding different tag team partners to make each other jealous. Fandango and R-Truth were dancing at ringside.
WINNER: Tyler Breeze via roll-up
New Day Segment:
To start it off, they announced that Extreme Rules the Vaudevillians will be facing the New Day for the WWE Tag Team Titles. Woods said that Beyonce slid into his DM’s last night, Kofi and Big E told Woods to tell the truth and tell everyone she didn’t slid into his DM’s. New Day announces that Enzo is okay and that they will send him a box of Booty O cereal and a dash of unicorn magic. The Vaudevillians interrupt and say that this is a tough business and tough things happen but let’s face it a real man would have got back up. Simon Gotch said that last night they made Enzo the realest guy in the Emergency Room. Dudley Boyz interrupted The Vaudevillians. Bubba Ray said that the Vaudevillians didn’t beat anybody last night. Cass comes out and says that Enzo is his family and that he will have to finish what they started last night. I think that Cass was perfect here, he isn’t usually the talker because Enzo takes care of that but he looked very comfortable here.
New Day and Cass vs Dudley Boyz and The Vaudevillians
Very entertaining match. New Day is such a fan favorite it’s unbelievable, if WWE decides to split them up anytime soon…they’d be hurting themselves. Bubba Ray yelling at The Vaudevillians and teaching them how to wrestle was kind of funny. Bubba was like a coach throughout the match it was different. This match got chaotic but it was fantastic and if you blinked you missed some action near the end.
WINNER: Big Cass and New Day via Big Cass East River Crossing.
Becky Lynch vs Emma
Before the match started they gave some background information about why this is a fight. These two have been exchanging words on social media. JBL said that it only means one thing , they both talk funny. This was a good womens match, it is just showing that Emma has flourished as a heel.
WINNER: Emma
Ambrose Asylum:
Dean Ambrose named his plant Mitch. Ambrose had Stephanie McMahon on as a guest and his first question was to explain her getting involved during the WrestleMania 32 main event. Stephanie said that she put herself in the wrong position and was arguing with the referee. Dean asked what her thoughts were of Shane McMahon running RAW and his comeback. Stephanie responded back by saying that after Shane abandoned the WWE Universe it shows that everyone is still loyal to Shane. Dean Ambrose mentioned the fact that Stephanie is always around and she is missing out on all these things in her life and asked if she thinks Shane made all those sacrifices in his life like Steph did in hers. Stephanie McMahon officially cancels the Ambrose Asylum. Stephanie brought back Chris Jericho and the Highlight Reel. Ambrose and Jericho fight outside of the ring and eventually make it into the ring. Jericho hit the Codebreaker on Ambrose. Mitch was broken over Ambrose’s head.
United States Championship Number 1 Contender Battle Royal
I enjoyed the fact that WWE is doing a battle royal to determine the new number one contender for the United States Championship. Baron Corbin got eliminated, that was a very strange decision. If anyone was a favorite it’d be Corbin since he won the Andre the Giant battle royal. Titus O’Neil looked like he could have been a possibility but he was eliminated also. Zack Ryder and Rusev were the final 2. Ryder looked like he was going to win it but it didn’t end that way.
WINNER: Rusev and Number 1 Contender for the US Title
Charlotte segment:
I cannot take Ric Flair serious anymore with his Woo’s after seeing Camp WWE. Charles Robinson was invited down to the ring by Charlotte and Ric Flair. Robinson said that Natalya was screaming stop it but didn’t tap out. Robinson said that Flair didn’t influence his decision at all. Natalya came down to the ring and said that Ric paid a referee to influence his decision to allow Charlotte to win. Charlotte tried swinging on Natalya but Natalya blocked it and took Charlotte down. Natalya smacked Ric Flair and put Flair in the sharpshooter.
AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson vs Roman Reigns and The Usos
New Japan’s Bullet Club against The Family. This is so awesome, it’s hard to believe this is happening. Reigns is still hated by the WWE Universe. High paced action throughout the match. Great match with many things happening. Post match, Anderson and Gallows were going to hit Reigns with a steel chair and Styles asked what they were doing. Anderson told Styles to use the chair. AJ teased hitting Reigns but eventually threw the chair to the ground. The Usos struck Styles with a chair. Styles hit The Usos with a chair in return. Reigns noticed that AJ hit his family with a chair and hit a Superman Punch on Styles. Reigns gave Styles a powerbomb through the announce table to close the show.
WINNER: Styles, Gallows, and Anderson via Styles Phenomenal Forearm
