RAW

This week’s show opens with some hype for the draft, and then out comes the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch. She says the man has come around and it’s been a year and a half since she was on RAW.

Lynch says she’s about to make a lot of execs unhappy but she doesn’t care, she does whatever she wants. So she announces that she is the first draft pick for RAW. She says she may be the SmackDown Women’s Champion but she was the longest-reining RAW Champion of all-time and she never lost that belt. And so it might be time to become Becky 2-belts once again. Charlotte Flair’s music hits and the RAW Women’s Champion slowly makes her way to the ring.

The fans chant “Becky 2 belts” and Flair tells them to stop. Flair reminds Becky that before her she was Becky pre-show. Flair claims she made Lynch famous and she will be looking up to her no matter what brand she’s on. Flair says it’s clear they have some unfinished business but out comes Bianca Belair. The Est. says she has unfinished business with both of them. They must feel threatened by her because they both took shots at her on Friday night. Belair says neither of them are ready and she’s about to become the Est. of RAW.

Flair shushes Bianca and tells her the Champion’s are speaking. Belair says Flair doesn’t even go here anymore. Flair says Bianca has almost done as much as her but she should be asking for her autograph for paving the way for her. Becky says that’s pretty disrespectful and if it was her she’d fight Charlotte right now, but she’s beat her so much she has nothing left to prove. Becky says the two of them have never fought before and she wonders what would happen. Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce come out and book that match for the main event.

After the match Priest lifts Jeff up and bows to him before leaving the ring. Hardy is interviewed and asked about being drafted to SmackDown. Jeff says he loves the fans. He’s being to the highest of highs and he’s crashed down to reality from time-to-time. With that said, he thinks going to SmackDown might let him show a different side, a different ego. In the meantime, he plans on making the most of it.

Former NXT star Austin Theory comes running down to the ring. He says no disrespect to Hardy, this a dream-come-true for him. He got drafted to RAW and he’s in the ring with Jeff. He grew up watching him and he’s an inspiration, so he asks Jeff for a selfie. Theory takes the picture, then clotheslines Hardy! Theory lifts Jeff up and hits the ATL. Theory lays down beside Jeff and takes another selfie.

RK-Bro are interviewed backstage and informed they will defend their Tag Team Titles against AJ Styles and Omos at Crown Jewel. Riddle says he’s so happy to see Orton back and asks if that’s a snake in his pocket or if he’s just happy. Riddle says Randy looks like a skinless snake in the sun. Orton thanks him and asks if he’s done. Randy says they have a chance to shut-up AJ and Omos once and for all. However that’s Crown Jewel and this is a special night.

Big E is in the ring and he says it’s great to be on his show in Nashville. The Champ says this past week was challenging; Kofi and Woods were drafted away from him for the second year in a row; and he was in the most gruelling match of his career. He made Lashley fall and proved he is the rightful WWE Champion. Of course, Drew McIntyre stepped-up and challenged him before he could even breathe. Drew is no joke, a 2X WWE Champion and a literal swordsman. Big E then asks Drew to come speak his mind.

McIntyre marches to the ring. He says he’s been drafted to SmackDown but he has unfinished business on RAW. He was screwed out of the title and he’s been waiting for a hero to step-up and along came Big E to vanquish Lashley. This is where he’s supposed to antagonize Big E but few people deserve it more than he does. He says he likes to do things the old fashioned way and he wanted to congratulate him to his face. They shake hands.

However, Drew says Big E did cash-in on an injured man. Although Lashley did the same to him, so he doesn’t care. Regardless, he’s formally challenging Big E to a match for the WWE Championship. Out comes the Dirty Dogs, Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler. Roode says they wer biding their time when they overheard this lovely litle story. Dolph says he’s genuinely proud of Big E but he forgot to thank him. Big E scoffs, so Ziggler shows footage of when Big E was his bodyguard. Ziggler says without him there is no Big E and there is no New Day.

McIntyre says Dolph may have a point. Ziggler says oh he can’t speak. Ziggler then shows footage of when Drew returned to RAW a few years ago and they were a team. Ziggler says if it weren’t for him McIntyre would never have been WWE Champion, never slain the beast, and all he wanted was a thank you. McIntyre sarcastically says Dolph has clearly upgraded.

Roode gets annoyed and says he’s a better friend and partner than they ever were. Roode says he puts the body in bodyguard and that they call him Big Bob. Big E says nobody has ever called Roode that. Dolph reiterates that he wants a thank you and Big E says all they’re going to get is an ass-whooping from him and Drew calls himself the Big D. The two teams argue as we head to the break.
