Curt Hawkins is in the ring. He’s tired of being the guy with a 118 match losing streak. That all ends tonight. Who wants to make history with him? Well…
Strowman stomps to the ring, and Hawkins immediately leaves the ring and goes through the crowd. Strowman goes through the crowd and chases him down. Strowman grabs him and chokeslams him through a table the tech guys were using. Strowman throws him onto the stage, scoops him up, and hits a Running Powerslam through the LED wall of the set! The match never got underway.
Strowman gets in the ring and says after last night he’s on a path of destruction. Strowman isn’t leaving until someone comes out and gives him a real fight. Dean Ambrose’s music hits, and he comes out and pretends to show concern for Hawkins before shrugging it off. Ambrose’s shoulder is taped up. He’ll face Strowman, next.

BAD NEWS: #RAW #WomensChampion @AlexaBliss_WWE is disappointed in EACH and EVERY one of you! pic.twitter.com/Xa14yojWty

RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss makes her way to the ring. Bliss says she knows she doesn’t always see eye to eye with the crowd, but she thinks of them as friends. You have to be honest with your friends. She has to tell them the truth. She is very disappointed in each and every one of them. She beat four women last night. They were the best Monday Night RAW has to offer in Bayley, Emma, Sasha Banks, and Nia Jax. This morning, she checked her phone and expected to see people congratulating her. It was full of nonsense and gossip. People are wondering about Sasha and Bayley or talking about Asuka debuting at WWE TLC. She asks what’s wrong with them. They’re so fascinated with what will happen tomorrow that they don’t appreciate being in the presence of a goddess right now. She doesn’t need this disrespect from them. She cleaned out the entire Women’s Division.
Mickie James’ music hits, and she comes out to the ring. James says Bliss had a great night last night, but she wasn’t in that match. Bliss hasn’t beat her yet. James says after her great night, Bliss had some real tall talk on RAW Talk. James invites her to say what she said again. Bliss says she respects James. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have brought her back to WWE. James might actually be on her Top 8 on MySpace, which is when James was relevant. James asks if she’s scared. Bliss thinks James has a lot to offer WWE. She still has a few fans that think she’s still got it. Bliss thinks it’s great that James’ demographic has someone to represent them. In the ring, she respects James, but she doesn’t want to see her break a hip.
James says the last thing she needs is someone like Bliss run down her accolades. She knows who she is. She’s a six-time Women’s Champion and has broken bones, hearts, and barriers for women in WWE all before Bliss was wearing a training bra, which is obviously still working out well for her. What she wants is Bliss to repeat what she said on RAW Talk like a real woman — to her face. James says Bliss either says what she says or she gets out of the ring because this place is no place for a coward. Bliss says that James is an old lady. James slaps her and takes her down with a Mick Kick. Bliss rolls out of the ring and retreats.

Coming up next, we’ll take a look at Roman Reigns’ victory over John Cena at WWE No Mercy.
*Commercial Break*
Finn Bálor is walking backstage when he sees Goldust. Bálor calls him “Goldy.” Goldust says he knows he’s an extraordinary man, but what gives him the right to take shots at his expense. Goldust is not a victory. He didn’t ask for Bálor’s help and didn’t need it. Goldust can do it all by himself. Bálor says he has nothing but respect for him and considers him a friend. Bálor apologizes for offending him in any way. Goldust says maybe Bálor is right and apologizes. Goldust then attacks Bálor and slams him onto a steel structure. Goldust quotes The Godfather II and tells him to keep his friends close, but his enemies closer.
