Raw opens with a nice, “In memory of Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, 1944-2017” graphic.

We go right into the arena to hear Kurt Angle’s music. The RAW General Manager makes his way to the ring while the crowd chants, “You suck” to the theme of his music. Angle welcomes the crowd to RAW. We’re only six days away from No Mercy. We have two matches that are WrestleMania-worthy: John Cena versus Roman Reigns, two icons that don’t like each other. Speaking of animosity, Brock Lesnar will put up his Universal Title against Braun Strowman. That’s not all…

The Miz’ music interrupts him. The Miz comes out to the ring along with The Miztourage. Maryse is not there due to her pregnancy. Angle congratulates him on becoming a father. Miz tells him to save it. Miz does not appreciate being overlooked and forgotten again. Every week, he carries the show, but it seems like he’s always an afterthought. Angle is hyping up No Mercy, but he’s doing it without his biggest star. This is the second PPV in a row that the Intercontinental Championship won’t be defended. Angle says he was about to make an announcement that will determine who will fight Miz at No Mercy. Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Elias, and Jason Jordan will fight in a Fatal 4-Way tonight with the winner facing him at No Mercy.

Miz says if you want to give the Hardys and a bad guitar player an opportunity, that’s fine, but there are more deserving superstars than Jordan, Angle’s son. Guys like Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas deserve a shot. Jordan has done absolutely nothing. Angle says he’s sick of Miz’ whining and complaining. Hopefully fatherhood will change. Miz says Angle walked away from his responsibilities. Miz will be a better father and a better champion than Angle. Angle missed 28 years of Jordan’s life and is trying to make it up. It doesn’t matter whether Angle is abandoning his duties as RAW GM or walking away from fatherhood: Angle is always a deadbeat.

Jason Jordan’s music hits, and he angrily comes down to the ring. Jordan dares him to say one more thing about Angle so he can knock Miz’ pretty teeth down his throat. Jordan makes a suggestion for Angle to add Axel and Dallas to the match. That way, Miz can’t make excuses when Jordan faces him for the title. Angle says the Fatal 4-Way will now be a 6-Pack Challenge. Miz says more people gives him less of a chance of winning. He’s more incompetent than his father. Jordan tackles him, but The Miztourage quickly grabs him. Jordan escapes and quickly sends them scrambling.

Later tonight we’ll have sit down interviews with Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman. Coming up next, we’ll see Nia Jax take on Alexa Bliss! We see both women walking making their way to the ring.

*Commercial Break*

Jason Jordan is angrily pacing backstage when his father, Kurt Angle, walks up to him. Angle tells him to focus on his opportunity. Jordan says Miz has been talking about Angle for weeks, but he’s not the only one. Jordan hears the whispers. When they see what he does to Miz at No Mercy, those whispers will stop. Angle asks what will happen if it doesn’t. Jordan can’t beat up every superstar that talks about him. Angle asks what he thought would happen when their secret was revealed. Jordan says he doesn’t know and didn’t ask for this. Angle says he didn’t either. Jordan can either step up or go home. They’re going to talk about them. Angle says it takes more strength not to fight back. Jordan has his blood, so he knows what he’s capable of. If he wants to get back at The Miz, he can go to No Mercy and beat him for the Intercontinental Championship.

Alexa Bliss Vs. Nia Jax

The bell rings, and Bliss immediately puts herself through the ropes to keep Jax back. Bliss ducks her and runs across the ring before getting out of the ring. Bliss gets on the apron and gets back in the ring after some stalling. Bliss applies a waistlock, but Jax powers her off. Bliss gets out of the ring once again.

Bliss gets in the ring and hides behind the referee. Bliss then goes to blindside her with a slap, but Jax blocks it, wrenches the arm, and lifts her up. Bliss knees her to get away. Bliss tries to run away, but Jax grabs her by the hair. Bliss slaps her back and begins to run up the ramp, but Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring to scare her back. Bliss turns and runs, but she bounces right into Jax.

*Commercial Break*

We come back from the break to see Jax avalanche Bliss in the corner and throw her across the ring. Jax charges her, but Bliss moves. Jax hits the ring post shoulder-first. Bliss quickly takes her down with some kicks and a dropkick. Bliss goes to the top rope and comes off with a cross-body attempt, but Jax catches her and connects with a Samoan Drop for the win.

Winner: Nia Jax

Sasha Banks quickly jumps on Jax’ back and punches away at her. Jax quickly powers her off before turning to leave. Jax then turns around to attack some more, but Bayley’s music hits. Bayley makes her way to the ring to a big reception from her hometown crowd. Bayley, Banks, and Bliss then tackle Jax down. Bayley stands tall in the ring with Banks and Bliss. The commentators despite being surprised about Bayley’s return are now talking about her like she’s in this match. Bliss tries to celebrate with Bayley and Banks, but she’s attacked. Bayley then takes her down with a Bayley-To-Belly.

Later tonight, there will be a Six-Pack Challenge to determine who will face The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy. We’ll also hear a final message from Roman Reigns. Coming up next, we’ll take a look at the Lesnar/Strowman feud.

*Commercial Break*

We see a graphic of Tweets about the passing of the great Bobby “The Brain” Heenan from various WWE Superstars, including Vince McMahon. This tribute will continue throughout the night.

We get a video package for the Brock Lesnar/Braun Strowman feud.

Sheamus and Cesaro make their way to the ring to face Anderson and Gallows.

*Commercial Break*

Out come the former WWE Tag Team Champions, and the current barometer, Sheamus and Cesaro. The two grab some microphones and the crowd boo.

Sheamus says everything these days is about nostalgia. There are remakes everywhere. The people love nostalgia to escape their realities and go back to the good old days. He and Cesaro live in the present. They destroy nostalgia acts, just ask The Hardy Boyz. Cesaro says that’s why they love Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. They’re back together and are Tag Team Champions. Nothing can go wrong, right? Something can and will go very wrong when they get their hands on them Sunday at No Mercy. Sheamus says their friendship is a fraud. They’re selfish and using each other for their own selfish needs. The crowd is giving them the “WHAT” treatment. Their thing will work as long as the good times keep rolling. It will stop rolling and their relationship will fade. The truth is Rollins and Ambrose can’t stand each other. Sheamus says their friendship is fragile and when it shatters, they’ll pick up the pieces and take back the Tag Team Championships because they don’t just set the bar… they are The Bar!

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose make their entrance and stand on the stage. Rollins says it looks like Taxi Driver had an ugly child with Braveheart. They are having the time of their lives. No matter what, they are brothers. They get in the ring. Ambrose says brothers fight, but a real brother would never let a brother leave the house dressed like Sheamus and Cesaro.

Anderson and Gallows come out to the ring. They’re arguing over who the better set of brothers are, but Sheamus and Cesaro walked out on them last week. They are not Good Brothers. Rollins and Ambrose also aren’t Good Brothers. They took advantage of their disadvantage. That doesn’t make them Good Brothers… it makes them NERDS! Rollins and Ambrose seem hurt. Rollins says they shouldn’t have said that. Ambrose says, “Nobody calls me a nerd!” A brawl breaks out between the three teams, which results in Ambrose and Rollins clearing the ring. The match will begin after the break.
