Jey Uso said it feels good to be out of The Bloodline. Kevin Owens came out and told Jey he is now on the Kevin Owens show. Owens told Jey I know how you feel. I’ve been in the same situation and I know what you’re going through. I’ve done a lot of bad things to a lot of really good people. I found myself needing to make a change and when I tried to make things right, it took a while to earn people’s trust. McIntyre and Riddle are just a few of the guys who don’t want you here. Cody Rhodes seems to be willing to give you a chance and Sami welcomed you with open arms, but you have a long way to go to earn my trust and my respect. The Judgment Day came out. Balor told Jey you don’t have to prove yourself to Owens because you don’t have to prove yourself to me because I respect you and The Judgment Day respects you. Priest told Owens that Owens doesn’t speak for the locker room and you don’t speak for The Judgment Day. Priest told Jey the Judgment Day door is open for him. Priest told Owens they thought they had a match with him and Sami Zayn. Owens said Sami is not here, but I’ll fight all of you because I’m here for a fight. Jey told Owens I’m here too. You said you want my respect, so let’s do it, me and you against Judgment Day. Owens said let’s do it. Jey superkicked Dominik and Owens tackled Priest.
Damian Priest & Finn Balor (w/ Dominik Mysterio) vs Kevin Owens & Jey Uso
Owens gave Balor a Brainbuster off the top rope, but Priest broke up the pin attempt. Owens went for the stunner but Priest pushed him off. Priest turned around and Jey went for the superkick on him. Priest moved out of the way and the kick hit Owens. Priest clotheslined Jey over the top rope. Balor hit the Coup de Grace on Owens and pinned him.
===Winners: Damian Priest and Finn Balor
Backstage, Jey Uso apologized to Kevin Owens. Owens told Jey to find his new Bloodline which is The Judgment Day.
The Miz vs Akira Tozawa
The Miz gave Tozawa a Codebreaker and three Skull Crushing Finales before pinning him.
===Winner: The Miz
Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez said Rhea Ripley has taken over the women’s division because people fear her before the bell even rings. Raquel said she doesn’t fear her. Rhea is going to get a taste of her own medicine because Rhea will not be the strongest going into this match.
Backstage, Shayna Baszler said she was surprised Zoey Stark didn’t tap when she put her in the Kirifuda Clutch. Chelsea Green interrupted and told Baszler her partner is not medically cleared so she is looking for a partner. She told Green since they are peers, they should be partners. Baszler said how about I meet you out there so I can tear you limb from limb so I can show you how large the gap is in them being peers and walked off. Green turned around to see Piper Niven. Niven gave her a mean look, took one of the tag belts, and said medically cleared.
Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vince were in the ring. Kaiser introduced Gunther who is now the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time. Gunther said all the legends who held this title before contributed nothing. He said I elevated it to heights never seen before and he’s running out of competition. Chad Gable came out. He congratulated Gunther but he said I saw the look in your eyes which said nobody came as close to beating you as I did. I also saw the look on my family’s face sitting in the front row. I saw the tears rolling down my oldest daughter’s face. I will beat you again when I get the opportunity for the championship and my daughter will walk out with a smile on her face. Gunther told Gable you are using your family to be in the spotlight. You are an amazing athlete, but you’re a terrible father. Gable attacked Gunther, but Imperium immediately jumped him. Otis ran down to help Gable. He dumped Kaiser and Vince over the top rope. Otis got the better of Gunther, but Gunther came back and Imperium jumped Otis and Gable. Tomasso Ciampa came down with a chair which sent Imperium out of the ring.
Earlier today, Xavier Woods asked Drew McIntyre why he’s talking trash about Kofi Kingston. McIntyre said I got a lot on my mind and maybe Kofi can talk to me himself when he grows a set. Woods told McIntyre you are jealous that Kofi won his World Title in front of 82,000 fans while McIntyre won his in front of an empty Performance Center. McIntyre said I don’t want to hurt you. Woods said do you think you’re going to run through me. McIntyre said if you’re anxious to get beat up, you got your match tonight and whatever happens will not be an accident.
Backstage, Tomasso Ciampa said last week Adam Pearce advised me to seize my moment. It doesn’t get bigger than Gunther celebrating as the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time. Otis challenged Imperium to a six-man tag match against himself, Gable, and Ciampa. Ciampa walked off without giving an answer.
Drew McIntyre vs Xavier Woods
Woods kicked McIntyre in the jaw for a two-count. They traded punches before McIntyre hit Woods with the Claymore Kick and pinned him.
===Winner: Xavier Woods
Cody Rhodes came to the ring. Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh came out to interrupt him. He told Cody I’m glad you brought Main Event Jey Uso to RAW because he is going to join Judgment Day, and when he does, it will make him look like a fool as he flipped Cody’s tie. Cody hit Dominik. JD immediately jumped Cody. Cody dumped JD over the top rope and gave Dominik the Cody Cutter. JD came back in and Cody hit him with the Cross Rhodes. Dominik got back up and got hit with a Cross Rhodes as well.
Backstage, Drew McIntyre told Jey Uso he does not trust him one bit. Jey said cool. McIntyre said to Jey the Judgment Day is probably looking good to you. Jey challenged McIntyre to a match next week and McIntyre accepted his challenge.
Chelsea Green (w/ Piper Niven) vs Shayna Baszler
Green escaped the armbar. Green rolled up Baszler for a two-count. Baszler hit the Exterminator on Green and pinned her. After the match, Niven got in the ring to attack Baszler until Zoey Stark came in for the save.
===Winner: Shayna Baszler
In a pre-taped interview, Shinsuke Nakamura said Seth Rollins road to success is lined with people that trusted him and then backstabbed. Hes a liar, a deceiver, and a manipulator and he will challenge him when he feels like it.
In the ring, Rollins said I am a manipulator, a deceiver, and a liar and all the things Nakamura claims I am, but I’m also a father, a fighter, and your World Heavyweight Champion. For a long time, I didn’t know who I was so I tried everything. When I was with The Authority, I was with people who would lie to my face. That didn’t work so I tried to be what everybody wanted me to be, but that didn’t work so I became a messiah. That didn’t work either so I figured I can build this facade thinking I could hide from myself. I figured out what you guys always wanted me to be and that’s myself. That’s why you love me, not because I’m a good guy or a bad guy, but because I’m Seth “Freakin” Rollins. He challenged Nakamura to a World Title Match. Nakamura’s music played but they showed Nakamura in the back beating up Ricochet. He told Seth I didn’t think you were not medically cleared, so I fought already. Someday I will take your title, but not today.
Backstage, Balor told Jey we are both professionals and what happens in the ring, stays in the ring. I saw what you did with K.O. I also see Drew McIntyre is not a fan of yours, but I am and so is Judgment Day and the doors are open for you.
Tomasso Ciampa & The Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis) (w/ Maxxine Dupri) vs Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, & Giovanni Vinci)
Gable hit Vinci with the Chaos Theory, but Gunther broke up the pin attempt. Ciampa hit Gunther with a running knee which sent Gunther out of the ring. Otis clotheslined Kaiser outside the ring but turned around and was met by a kick to his face from Gunther. Gable got Vinci in the ankle lock. Gunther tried to run in for the save, but Ciampa caught him in a Sicilian Stretch and Vinci tapped out.
===Winners: The Alpha Academy and Tomasso Ciampa
Backstage, Judgement Day said the more Jey Uso feels isolated, the more he is going to need Judgment Day.
Backstage, Adam Pearce got Tiffany Stratton and Becky Lynch to sign the contract for their NXT Championship match tomorrow night.
World Women’s Championship Match:
===Rhea Ripley (Champion) vs Raquel Rodriguez
Rodriguez whipped Ripley head first into the announce table outside of the ring and gave her a powerbomb on the ring apron. Rodriguez slid Ripley under the ring. With the referee checking on Ripley, Nia Jax gave Rodriguez a Samoan Drop on the floor. Rodriquez tried to get back in the ring and was met by a knee to her jaw from Ripley. Ripley then hit the Ripcord on Rodriguez and pinned her to retain her championship.
===Winner: Rhea Ripley
After the match, Jax gave Ripley a headbutt and gave her a legdrop across the bottom rope. Jax then gave Ripley the Banzai Drop to end the show.
