Raw opens with MizTV, thank god just getting this shit out of the way.
Miz says for the first time in my career, I was injured- what is that smell? John wears garlic to be prepared for anything, he also brought his dripstick.
Miz says he had an epiphany while away, he had to get back to Raw cuz they’re about to go on the road
THis is all boring shit.
Charlotte comes out as guest number one, she says Rhea has had her fairytale victory over Asuka, but real life is not a fairytale, and in three weeks I’ll be sending Rhea to hell.
Cue Rhea.
She says youre gonna send me to hell? You can go to hell. There’s some awkwardness, and then
Nikki Cross comes out, says she beat the Raw women’s champ and she thought it would be fair to challenge whomever wins at HIAC. Rhea says you earned my respect. Nikki says Char I could beat you in two minutes. Char says I could beat you in one. Nikki slaps Char.
Char vs. Nikki
NIkki wins in less than a minute I think, I wasn’t paying attention.
Riddle and Priest backstage, Riddle is getting spanish lessons from Priest, Randy rolls up, says he saw Riddle use HIS finish, he says we gotta be on the same page for this tag team thing, asks Riddle to come watch his match tonight, maybe he’ll learn a few things. Riddle gets excited, rambles about the RKO, Randy tells him to shut it.

Sheamus promo
Why is he on the verge of whispering
He talks shit about ricochet and carillo
He says they’re nothing but scumbaggery, and people ask why haven’t you put your title on the line? All they’ve shown me is they couldn’t lace my boots. I won’t take them on at the same time, but I will face them back to back, send them back to catering. Which one of them bleedin muppets are gonna step out first?

Elias tries to pep up Ryker, says are you ready for battle, do you know what its like to go into battle? Ryker says I served in Iraq.
Kofi interview, he says he feels as though Drew insinuated Kofi’s fam and friends were a detriment, they help me. He can’t respect Drew by saying he could slay the beast and Kofi couldn’t. Kofi says use that same logic, I did something Drew couldn’t do. I pinned Bobby on my first try.

Backstage, Elias is escaping the scene, he’s interviewed, ELias says Jaxson is unhinged, he said he wanted to mold him into something special, but last week he ran off to save himself, but where was he when he helped him? But he’s unpredictable. The idea of sitting in a car for hours next to Ryker makes me sick. I don’t wanna be around him anymore.
Alexa’s playground
She introduces Reginald, says congrats over your win, how do you feel? Reggie says besides what she did to my leg, I feel great. SHe says Lilly wants to ask you a question. HE can’t hear her, so Alexa says she wants to know about your time at CDS, Shayna attacks Reginald. Sits down on the swing, Alexa says I hate to break it to you, but you weren’t invited. Only because Lilly doesn’t like you. Shayna says you’re becoming a big problem, you saw how I handle them, before it gets out of hand, we need to have a chat. I’ll see you next week. THen says to Lilly, you’re just a stupid doll.
War Machine is with Mansoor, explaining how live crowds work, even tho he’s been in Saudi. They suggest a war cry. RAID. They like it, say welcome to Raw.
