Lights go out again.
MVP comes out.
APOLLO CREWS vs. MVP
MVP calls out Apollo for not being there, says once MVP is done tonight, their business is over, and Apollo can hang out in catering with the others BON APETITE!
Lights flicker as MVP regains control.
Crews no-sells german suplex, drops MVP with his finish for the win, Lashley in for the Full Nelson, Crews bolts
***
Apollo interview right after match- he talks about Lashley’s strength, the FN kept him at home, his kids looking at him saying daddy I thought you were the US champ. He’s gonna hang his old title and hang it in his kids room. New one is staying with Apollo, he thanks MVP. MVP gets on the mic. He starts yelling at commentary about the lights, MVP yells in the camera about working conditions. He says I don’t care about his wife, kids, he wants the rematch at Summerslam.
Tall ninja out of costume standing guard at Shane’s door.
Sasha/Bayley interview- they decided to bring a video package but its interrupted by Shayna, who sucker punches Sasha
Kevin Owens backstage, looking for dranks
IIconics come by, they want on the Kevin Owens show, he says ok but just not tonight
Kevin Owens show
His mic keeps going out, he welcomes out Ruby Riott
She calls the iiconics toxic, sad broads, but she finally got to put an end to the iiconic bullshit.
Owens pulls a Maury and invites Liv Morgan
Owens tries to play in-ring matchmaking for Liv and Ruby; he says when he was a heel he did it for his career, but it’s not worth it- he asks Liv to hear Ruby out.
Ruby says Liv was coming into her own, and the idea that she didn’t need her hurt, and she realized when she was beat by Liv that she felt she wasn’t ready and she blamed Liv. She cries, it’s really good shit. She wants another chance for the Riott Squad.
Interrupted by IICONICS. They talk shit, say Liv shoulda stayed in the bathtub. Liv talks shit back. Iiconics challenge them to a match, Peyton slaps KO when he asks for more production mistakes. Billie Kay slaps him when he asks if that was necessary. He asks for help, they oblige.
Giant security guard shoos away coffee guy. What if Shane wanted coffee?
KO is on commentary as match begins
Riott Squad vs. IIconics
Liv Morgan gets a hot tag, wins with rollup, Iiconics attack, Ruby helps Liv.

Charley: There was a box that fell over. MVP interrupts, he says he lost because of glitches and power outages; Charley was just informed that Apollo has accepted the challenge. MVP is happy now. Shelton comes up, says someone stole my 24/7 title.
Drew promo
Says once upon a time, Vince said we were the future of this industry. Then I’m pretty sure he forgot his line. Picks it back up- he thinks Edge said it best- this wasn’t your plans a b c or d- says when he was a kid, he woke up and had a dream and sacrificed everything to pull it off. Says Randy was handed it. Handed everything with a silver spoon. He didn’t have an Evolution backing him up cleaning up after him- when he made mistakes, he was fired for them. HE TALKS ABOUT LEAVING CRAP IN A DUFFLE BACK. Orton comes out, says he repays his respect by saying he was handed everything. Randy says I wasn’t fired because I was more valuable than him. He says come up with one original opinion about Orton. Drew says he’ll shoot. Drw thinks he represents everything that is wrong. He talks about Taker pulling Orton up, because he loves this industry, he wants to make the future better.When is the last time Orton did that? When did he sit down with anyone in the back? He remembered Orton walking past him while he sat in catering while his life was crumbling around him. Orton did nothing to help him. He doesn’t see a leader, he sees a selfish prick. He says he’s gonna rip off Randy’s head and he’ll sure as hell see it coming.
Nia Jax talking with Pat Buck
Owens talking with Riott Squad, Ric Flair talks with Owens; Ric says Kevin is too nice, not taking care of himself enough. Owens says he wants to be what Randy COULD be if he wanted to be, a guy to look up to in the locker room. Flair says this is RIC FLAIR talking to you- mind your own business, take care of Kevin owens, and maybe he’ll get a title match at summerslam. KO challenges Randy next week through Flair.
Nia calls Pat Buck a piece of shit who couldn’t cut it in his own career. She says he will get his apology after he has a match with her tonight. Pat tries to punk out. Nia talks shit, calls him a ginger, a small guy. She shoves the mic at him, HE INDEFINITELY SUSPENDS HER WITHOUT PAY. SHE HEAD BUTTS HIM. Kicks him.
R-Truth has the title, being chased by ninjas and Shelton.

Asuka attacks Bayley, WHY DID THEY RING THE BELL? *
Asuka wants a rematch at Summerslam for the Raw Women’s Title, Shayna says hold on, I don’t want to fight you. I’m actually cheering for you, cuz she wants to dismember Asuka and take the title off her. Sasha comes back out, she says the title is hers, Asuka gets her title shot at Summerslam, IF she can beat BAYLEY, and Bayley is like WTF. Now the tables have turned.
