Roode goes for a Glorious DDT, but Ziggler counters into a roll-up for a two count. They trade roll-ups before Ziggler counters a Glorious DDT into the Zig-Zag for a near fall.
Ziggler takes to the corner to set-up for a superkick, but Roode blocks it, tips him over, and slingshots him into the corner. Roode slams Dolph with a spinebuster for a near fall.

We see a replay of the opening to tonight’s Raw, in which Kurt Angle got Paul Heyman to agree to a match at SummerSlam. They show highlights of the first Triple Threat and hype the second later tonight.
We see Bobby Lashley warming up backstage. He starts talking to the camera and says The Beast has never fought anyone like him. he has the skills and the ability to slay The Beast at SummerSlam. Not often you see promo’s like that anymore, no interviewer and not handheld.
*Commercial Break*
Bobby Roode is walking backstage looking upset when Mojo Rawley walks up to him. Rawley says, “And you’re supposed to be glorious?” Rawley then walks off looking disgusted.
Tyler Breeze vs. Mojo Rawley
The bell rings, and Rawley immediately gets him in the corner and shoulders away at him. Breeze quickly comes back by knocking him out of the ring and going for a plancha, but Rawley moves. Rawley then sends him flying with a shoulder block. Rawley gets him in the ring and picks up a two count.
Mojo applies a chin lock to ground Breeze. Rawley talks trash before Breeze makes a comeback. Breeze avalanches Mojo in the corner and throws him out of the ring. Rawley jumps onto the apron and over the top rope, then clotheslines Tyler in the corner. Mojo hits the ropes and clobbers Breeze with a shoulder block. Rawley hits a running forearm before connecting with a vicious Alabama Slam for the win.
Winner: Mojo Rawley
Mojo celebrates his win. Let me know in the comments if you guys have any interest in Mojo Rawley, I think he’s as dull as dishwater. He has no intensity and that’s meant to be his thing. When Warrior ran to the ring, he sprinted, but Mojo awkwardly jogs and nobody cares.
Bayley and Sasha Banks are seen walking together backstage looking none too pleased. They’ll face Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke, next.
*Commercial Break*
We return to see Dana Brooke and Alicia Fox already in the ring. Out comes Bayley, followed by Sasha Banks.
Bayley & Sasha Banks Vs. Dana Brooke & Alicia Fox
Bayley starts the match against Alicia Fox. Fox pushes Bayley to the corner and hits a forearm to the face Bayley rolls her up for a one count. Fox nails her with a kick to the face for a two count.
Brooke tags in and hits a springboard elbow. The Hugger avoids the second elbow and starts to fight back. Fox attacks Bayley when she gets thrown out of the ring, but Banks surprisingly comes to her aide. Bayley is down, so Banks climbs onto the apron and takes out both women at ringside with a crossbody. Chaos reigns while the ref counts to 10 and calls for the bell.
No Contest
Banks walks away after the bell without seeing if Bayley is alright. The hugger does not look happy. This storyline is ridiculous, why won’t Angle let them fight? I mean, Strowman and Owens don’t have to go therapy and tag all the time. Although I’m sure that would be more entertaining.
Speaking of whom, we’ll get an update on Kevin Owens condition after the break.
*Commercial Break*
We return to see Sasha Banks packing her suitcase and trying to leave. Bayley walks into the locker room and stops her. She asks why Sasha did that. Banks says it’s one thing if she beats Bayley up, but she’ll be damned if she’ll let someone else beat on her. Banks says she hates talking about her feelings. She loves that Bayley is such a nice person. She loves that Bayley is a role model to children. She loves that Bayley is there for her even when she doesn’t ask. She pauses, then tells Bayley that she loves her and storms off.
We see still images of Kevin Owens being thrown off the steel cage last night, through the announce table. Renee Young is backstage with Braun Strowman, she asks if he has any regrets. Strowman pauses before saying yes. He regrets that he didn’t congratulate Owens on his win last night – via escape. She asks why Strowman didn’t step-up to throw his hat in the ring earlier tonight, to which Strowman holds up his briefcase, he says he has a title shot whenever he wants it. Strowman leaves and Michael Cole says Kevin Owens has some bruising but no major health issues. He’ll be back next week.
The new Raw Tag Team Champions, The B-Team make their way to the ring. They’ll be in action next!
