Charly Caruso is backstage with RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. She asks about facing Bayley at SummerSlam. Bliss says she’s ecstatic because she’s routinely beat this Bayley. She didn’t want to face Sasha again. She didn’t get herself intentionally counted out at Great Balls of Fire, but it’s not true. Never in a million years did she think Bayley would beat Sasha. Sasha is off on a promotional tour, so Bayley is all alone with Nia Jax. Alexa says that tonight will be a massacre.

Seth asks why he came down then, and Ambrose says he knows he’s the Architect and he put him in a situation where he needed to come down or he’d look bad, so next time don’t pick a fight you can’t finish. Dean tells Seth to not bother saying that he would have done the same because the hell he would, and storms off.

Bayley comes to the ring and we see highlights of her beating Sasha last week.

Renee Young is backstage with Big Cass. She asks how he feels about Big Show wanting to teach him respect. Big Cass says Big Show doesn’t respect himself for hanging out with Enzo Amore. You’re judged by the company you keep, so Big Show is a miscreant. This match is next.

*Commercial Break*

Enzo Amore makes his way to the ring doing his usual shtick. Enzo says he’s no angle because he’s done some dirty, dastardly, despicable things. In all his life, he has never eaten the brown part of a bruised banana. Enzo would eat the brown part of bruised banana before he stops being real. Big Cass is a fraud. He’s not out here writing checks his hind end can’t cash. He’s got a guy that will write him a reality check. The check won’t bounce. That only thing that will bounce is Big Cass. Enzo then introduces The Big Show.

A running shoulder takes Big Cass down. Enzo talks some trash to his former friend as Big Show catches him with a powerslam.

A suplex sets up Show for the Chokeslam. He grabs the throat, but Cass takes out his knee. Cassady applies a leglock to capitalize on the damage he inflicted with a chop block. Enzo looks concerned after a boot to the face from Cass. Big Show chops Cass out of the air when he leaps off the second rope.
