Raw Card:
Show Opener: Drew McIntyre opens Raw. McIntyre says he's not here for pleasantries like Keith Lee. I'm not that nice. Last week, Roman Reigns cost me my #1 Contendership. And I don't think I need to talk about why he made the biggest mistake of his life. Roman Reigns get out here. After a pause, no one comes out. McIntyre decides to leave the ring. We cut to backstage and see McIntyre storming the locker room area looking for Roman's room. He passes other wrestlers like Ali & Alexander and Nia Jax and Tamina, holding baseball bats I might add, and Mcintyre asks them if they've seen Roman, they all say no. Eventually, McIntyre finds Roman's locker room with 5 security guards outside. McIntyre starts to dispatch them but then Heyman comes out and stops him. McIntyre grabs Heyman by the throat but Heyman tries to come him down. Heyman tells McIntyre that he has a message from Roman. Heyman tells McIntyre that if you want Roman, you're going to have to come back later, cause he's not here. But Roman wanted me to tell you that he's a reasonable guy. He says he can make sure you become #1 Contender, all you have to do is call him the rightful champion and the head of the table. McIntyre refuses and throws Heyman against the wall.

Mandy says that they've bonded a lot over their backgrounds. We both struggled a lot when we were younger and we both turned to bodybuilding and fitness competitions to grow in ourselves and our confidence.

Bianca Belair comes to the ring and she says "Okay okay okay, I see you, Sasha. You were someone I always looked up to when I was in NXT, always grinding, always had respect for whoever you were in the ring with, and most importantly you never let the success get to your head. Now though? You've changed for the worse. You're cocky, have no respect, and the biggest mistake you've been making is underestimating The EST.

Some of the things Seth did behind the scenes weren't pretty and I finally became fed up. As for the wins I feel like I've been better off on my own, I don't have to answer to anyone and my success is my own. It feels good." From off-screen, we hear someone say "Feels good to be on your own huh?" Murphy steps into frame and he says "Seth was the only one on Raw who saw potential in us. He was our leader and he leads us to tag team gold!
