RAW

We go live to WWE RAW in San Francisco where the announcers make a big deal out of the tag team main event with Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks taking on Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

Out comes the Scottish warrior, Drew McIntyre with his sword. Drew says he won’t get to say this anymore so indulge him: “welcome to Monday Night RAW!” Drew mentions some of the big matches coming up at Crown Jewel and he says he has waited months for this final shot at the WWE Championship. Drew is about t tell a story when out comes the Champion, Big E!

Big E says he understands exactly why Drew is so desperate for this match. He has tasted the juices of glory and they are sweet. So sweet that he let them drip down his face, down his neck and between his nipples. Big E turns alittle serious and tells Drew he can never take the title from him. “The train has alreadd left the station”, and McIntyre can either get on board or stay on those tracks and get run over. Drew says he gets that Big E is on cloud 9 but he is going to run through Big E just like he did Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, and the rest.

The Uso’s come out and joke about who they think might win the match between Big E and McIntyre. Drew asks what they’re even doing here and The Uso’s say you do whatever you want when you run with the Tribal Chief. They know Roman will beat Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel but they want to know who will be WWE Champion ahead of Survivor Series. They say they already have plans for New Day on SmackDown, and whoever wins between Drew and Big E will be facing Roman Reigns and that’s a death wish. The Uso’s challenge them to a match tonight and they both accept but start bickering and The Uso’s attack them and leave them lying.

New Day is interviewed backstage and asked what will happen if the two of them have to face each other in the King of the Ring Tournament but they just laugh and make their entrances.

*Commercial Break*

Riddle is in the ring and out comes AJ Styles and Omos. Before the match can start, Riddle gets the microphone. He says he’s been doing a lot of thinking and he can see Omos loves his protein because he’s swole. He continues talking, then shouts “now Randy!” but nothing happens. Riddle says Randy must be waiting for a code word so he shouts random things and sings Orton’s music. AJ gets a microphone and says Riddle is stalling for time but Omos is going to rip his arms off.

Drew McIntyre approaches Big E backstage and asks what the Hell happened out there. Big E says they can beat the brakes off each other at Crown Jewel, but until then they should be on the same page. Drew agrees and says it’s obvious Roman is worried about them because The Uso’s can’t wipe their ass without his permission. Drew says it would be great if they could beat The Uso’s. Big E says he saw Drew getting excited earlier when he talked about his nipples and calls him a freak, then do a silly handshake and bump fists.

*Commercial Break*

The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley comes to the ring and we see a replay of Goldberg confronted him. Lashley says people are asking why he challenged Goldberg to a No Holds Barred match. He says Goldberg talked about ending his life and that’s not behaviour befitting of a WWE Hall of Famer or a father. He says the myth of Goldberg has faded and he’s an old dog that eeds to be put down. At Crown Jewel he will end Goldberg’s career and there will be no misunderstandings this time. Lashley says goldberg can’t hurt, can’t beat and damn sure can’t kill the All Mighty.

Sasha Banks cuts a promo and says Charlotte clearly thinks she’s in charge but the Champion is. And right now Lynch is holding onto that title for dear life.

She fought for success using grit and determination, while Charlotte thinks you need to be ruthless. Belair says she beat Banks at WrestleMania and yes, she might have lost it to Becky in thirty seconds, but it won’t take thirty seconds for her to return her to Becky no-belts.
