- We kick off the show with Big Cass. He mockingly asks the crowd "How you doin'?" and says he couldn't feel any better after what he did to Enzo Amore. He says he got Enzo out of his life forever last night and that everyone on the RAW roster should take note of what he did to Enzo last night because that's what happens if people mess with him. He tells the crowd not hop on his bandwagon now and says that everyone who's ever doubted him will eat their words when he wins the Universal Championship one day. He says nobody can touch him, nobody is on his level, and nobody is bigger than him. Obviously, this leads to the Big Show coming out. Show headbutts Cass before taking Cass down to the mat. Big Show beats down Cass in the corner before Cass rolls out of the ring.
- Elias Samson vs Finn Balor-Before the match, Elias Samson sings a song about Finn Balor, which is interrupted by Balor himself. Samson starts off the match with a bodyslam, which Balor responds to with strikes and a headlock.

Samson controls the match until Balor hits a few forearms and a basement dropkick. Balor chops Samson around the ring before Samson goes to the top rope, only to get kicked down to the outside by Balor. Balor follows up with a wrecking ball dropkick and goes for the running punt on the apron, but Samson catches Balor's foot and yanks him down face first onto the mat. Back in the ring, Samson applies a Fujiwara armbar, but Balor breaks the hold by getting to the ropes. Samson tries to reapply the hold, but Balor counters it and hits a double stomp.

Balor comes back with a Pele kick and hits the Sling Blade before dropkicking Samson into the corner. Balor goes to the top rope and hits the Coup de Grace for the three and the win. Pretty decent match.
- The Hardy Boyz come out for a promo. Jeff says they were one second away from regaining the RAW Tag Team Championships and that all the other tag teams might think they should just fade away and classify themselves as obsolete. I popped for that. Matt says they aren't going anywhere before Gallows & Anderson come out. Anderson says the Hardy aren't who they used to be and Gallows tells the Hardys to get out of their ring. Matt says they might be a little...wait for it...broken...but they'll take them on right now.

- It's time for the "Mizzies" presented by the Miz on MizTV. The first award goes to both Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel for Best Supporting Actor as the Miztourage at Great Balls of Fire. Dallas thanks Miz for changing his life before Axel says that thanks to Miz, he looks like a million bucks, feels like a million bucks, and will make a million bucks. The next award goes to Maryse for being the most beautiful, gorgeous, sexy leading lady in WWE. Maryse thanks the Miz before Miz announces the last Mizzie award; the Greatest Man in WWE. Miz reads the envelope and the winner is...Dean Ambrose. Just kidding, it's the Miz. Miz says he speaks the truth whenever he speaks. He says he's the only person who backed up what they said at Great Balls of Fire before saying Ambrose is the toughest man in WWE, but since he beat him he is the toughest man in WWE. This brings out Ambrose, who quickly takes Miz down to the crowd. However, the numbers game gets to him. The Miztourage beats down Ambrose before Seth Rollins comes down to make the save, beating up Bo Dallas with a table in the process.
- After a commercial break, Ambrose questions why Rollins helped him. Rollins says he's not going to let Miz run his mouth about him, but Ambrose says he doesn't trust him and that there won't be a Shield reunion.Why you gotta be like that, WWE?
- Sasha Banks & Bayley vs Nia Jax & Alexa Bliss-Bliss & Banks start, only for Bliss to quickly tag in Nia. Nia shoves Sasha into her corner, so Bayley tags in as Sasha goes right after Bliss.

Meanwhile, Bayley rolls up Bliss for the three and the win. Fine match, nothing special.
- Goldust did another Shattered Dreams production where he says he'll be making the Shattered Truth Part 2.
- R-Truth vs Goldust-You know what's great? Hearing Goldust's theme and not hearing R-Truth rapping right after it. Goldust cheap shots Truth to start before the two fight into the corner. Truth hits a corner splash followed by a powerslam. Truth continues to control the match until Goldust gets him in the Tree of Woe and stomps him.

- Kurt Angle comes out to the ring. He says Great Balls of Fire was a huge success before bringing our Brock Lesnar. He congratulates Lesnar on his win last night after saying Lesnar keeps getting better and better. The two shake hands before Angle proposes who Lesnar will defend the Universal Championship against next. Paul Heyman says they won't negotiate in public before Roman Reigns comes out. I guess the petition didn't work. Angle says Reigns has a lot of nerve coming out to the ring after what he did last night. Reigns says they did worse stuff in the Attitude Era, but Angle says that was a different time. Reigns says he took care of Braun Strowman because Angle couldn't and Lesnar was never around to. Reigns says he wants Lesnar at SummerSlam, but Lesnar literally says Reigns doesn't deserve sh*t. Samoa Joe comes out next and says the next time he & Lesnar face off, he'll knock him out. He says Lesnar didn't beat him, he escaped him and says that Reigns has never beaten him. Heyman says that Joe will never get another title shot against Lesnar, but Joe says Heyman is trying to protect Lesnar from him because he knows Joe can beat Lesnar. Reigns says that Joe lost last night, so Joe points out that Reigns did as well. Angle intervenes and says that next week, Reigns & Joe will face off in a #1 contenders match, with the winner facing Lesnar at SummerSlam for the Universal Championship. So Roman Reigns not only loses a match, but then acts like a sore loser and pretty much attempts to murder Braun Strowman, and his punishment is getting a title shot. What the f*ck. WWE is completely insane if they think Roman Reigns is the babyface now. How attempting to kill someone with an ambulance because they lost a match because of their own clumsiness doesn't scream "HEEL" I don't know what does.
- Backstage, Kurt Angle & Corey Graves each receive more texts. He says he can't let whatever the text says comes, but that he has to come out with it next week. He says he might lose his job & family over this, but Graves says he won't lose everything because people respect him.
- Akira Tozwaw & Cedric Alexander with Titus O'Neil vs Noam Dar & Neville with Alicia Fox-Alexander & Dar start off with Alexander hitting a huge back elbow. Alexander strikes away at Dar before Dar rolls out of the ring. Back in the ring, Alexander tags in Tozawa for a basement dropkick for a near fall. Tozawa stomps away at Dar in the corner before Dar kicks Tozawa's leg and tags in Neville. Tozawa quickly comes back with a hurricanrana and a senton, but Neville is able to throw him face first into the turnbuckle. Neville throws Tozawa into his corner and distracts the referee, allowing Dar to beat down Tozawa before the commercial break. We come back to Neville working over Tozawa. The heels get the heat until Tozawa connects with the shining wizard on Neville. Alexander gets the hot tag and hits a springboard clothesline followed by a handspring roundhouse kick. Alexander goes to the top rope, but a distraction by Dar allows Neville to crotch him on the top rope. Neville goes for a superplex, but blocks it and crotches Neville on the top rope. Tozawa tags in before Alexander takes out Dar with a suicide dive. Tozawa gets revenge for last night and kicks the rope Neville is crotched on before hitting the senton bomb for the three and the win. Pretty solid match.
- Charly Caruso interviews Seth Rollins. He says he didn't come out earlier tonight to save Ambrose, he did it to shut up the Miz. He says Bray Wyatt is still a fraud & a coward and tonight he'll prove he can't hang with Seth Rollins. Right after, Bray Wyatt cuts a 2spooky4me dark room promo.

After the match, Wyatt teleports out of the ring as Miz and the Miztourage come out of the crowd. The three surround the ring before pouncing on Rollins until Dean Ambrose runs down with a chair. Ambrose sends Dallas & Axel running before smashing the chair over Miz's back. The Miztourage pulls Miz out of the ring as Ambrose stands tall.
- We close the show with Kurt Angle on the phone. He tells whoever he's talking to that they need to talk about what's been happening before telling them he loves them.
