But that's not all as in tonight's opening match we'll find out the #1 contenders for the World Tag Team Titles as 3 teams will fight in an elimination tables match, and the winners will be challenging the winners of American Alpha vs Undisputed Era, as next week they'll have a Steel Cage Match for the titles to make sure this time nobody not involved in the match gets attacked.

Peyton Royce and Billie Kay walk into the office of Shawn Michaels, and Peyton asks if he wanted them there to praise her for the fantastic victory over Asuka last night. Shawn says no, in fact he's disappointed in her for getting herself disqualified, and he's getting fed up with her antics all together. Peyton says she did what she had to do to keep the belt, but if Asuka can win a contenders match she would be happy to give her another shot. Shawn says he's glad she's willing to give Asuka another shot...because that's exactly what she's going to do at Money In The Bank. Peyton and Billie both get angry but Shawn cuts them off and says he's not done yet, because when they have the rematch Billie Kay is going to be banned from ringside and if Peyton is disqualified or counted out, Asuka will become the new champion. Peyton is furious now and demands Shawn change his mind, but Shawn says his decision is final, if Peyton wants to stay champion she has to pin or submit Asuka and do it without Billie's help. The two storm out of the office.

He says he's disappointed but he gave it his best shot and he'll get back to the title picture eventually.

Match #6: World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contenders Elimination Match
Daniel Bryan vs Braun Strowman vs Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin

Typical chaos to start and near falls come after a few minutes of action with Rollins hitting a Curb Stomp on Braun and Bryan hitting the yes kicks on Corbin.

Bryan and Corbin now fight for awhile with Braun fighting with Rey. After a bunch more chaos, Corbin hits the End of Days on Mysterio for a close 2 count. Braun clears Corbin out of the ring along with Bryan, then blocks a 619 attempt before scooping up Rey and Powerslamming him for the second elimination.

Braun gets back to his feet and drops both men, then hits a discus big boot on Bryan, causing him to roll out of the ring.

Smackdown Week 8:

AJ Styles comes out to start the show and shows a clip of his match with Killian Dain last week, ending with Dain hitting him with a chair. AJ then calls out Dain and challenges him to come out and fight him right now in a no dq match and since he already beat him last week, he thinks Dain should put the belt on the line. After a few moments, The Miz's music hits and he strolls out onto the stage yelling no. He says Dain will not be defending his championship tonight against AJ or anyone else, but he does need to find a new #1 contender for the belt so he has a deal for AJ. He's got an open spot on the roster to fill and he's found two good candidates for it, so he offers AJ a match against the two of them, if he wins, he gets the shot at Dain on Sunday at Extreme Rules. If he loses, his two opponents will fight each other next week for the Smackdown contract and a #1 contenders match will happen later tonight. AJ questions Miz stacking the odds against him, giving him two opponents, but he accepts and asks Miz who exactly he'll be facing, to which Miz says he's glad he asked, and he brings out Mike Kanellis and Lars Sullivan, and they begin heading down the ramp as AJ takes off his shirt and stands ready to fight.

Match #1:
Mike Kanellis and Lars Sullivan vs AJ Styles

A fairly quick match with AJ having to fight off a double team throughout the match as every time he starts building momentum, he gets cut off by the numbers game. There's a close near fall after Mike hits a crossroads on AJ and Lars follows up with a diving headbutt, but they only manage to get a 2 count off it. AJ gets his own near fall when he manages to hit Lars with a pele kick followed by locking in the Calf Crusher on Kanellis, but eventually Lars is able to break it up to save his partner. AJ blocks Lars trying to pick him up and drops him with the Styles Clash, but has to take time to take time to throw Kanellis out of the ring before going for a pin, and this gives Lars the time he needed to kick out at 2. The end came when AJ was getting the fight taken to him, but he managed to outsmart them and lay out Kanellis in the ring then threw Sullivan out of the ring and took him out with a slingshot forearm. AJ kept the beatdown going on Lars until the 7 count when Kanellis came out after him, but this just lead to him being thrown into the steps and after Sullivan was dropkicked one final time, AJ slid into the ring to avoid the countout and moved onto Extreme Rules.

Winner via countout and NEW #1 Contender: AJ Styles

Bayley is in the interview area backstage and talks about her submission victory last week over Becky Lynch. She admits last week was a bit of a struggle for her and Sasha caught her off guard by making their match at Extreme Rules a Submissions Count Anywhere Match, but she's spent the last week getting better at submissions and now she's ready to show what she's learned in her match against Zelina Vega later tonight. She hopes Sasha is watching because she's going to show her tonight that submissions are no advantage for Sasha.

Match #2:
Montez Ford vs Rowe vs Harper

As the match starts, Rowe and Harper quickly run over Ford and take him out with a double big boot to the face. Harper pulls Ford to his feet and hits him with a big clothesline before throwing him at Rowe, who picks him up and hits a backbreaker. With the champ down for the minute, Rowe and Harper begin slugging it out, and Rowe gets the better of it as he ends up knocking Harper into the ropes, then sending him over the top rope and to the floor with a big running knee to the face! Suddenly, Rowe is rolled up out of nowhere by Ford for an early pin, but it only gets a 2 count. The 3 men continue fighting for a couple more minutes before Rowe catches Ford and flips him over before hitting him with a big knee to the face, but Harper spins Rowe around and drops him with a discus clothesline and picks up the victory.

Winner via pinfall: Harper

Mustafa Ali appears in a video package and talks about his recent rough patch, saying he hasn't had the best of luck lately but he's been through worse in his life and he'll get through this.

Match #3:
Paige w/ Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs Liv Morgan w/ Riott Squad

A fairly quick match as Liv looks to get revenge for the chair shot last week and Paige looks to get some revenge for her allies. Paige takes the fight to Liv early on but as she starts gaining a real advantage, Sarah Logan grabs her leg and Paige has to kick at her to get away, and Mandy and Sonya run over, but Ruby and Sarah quickly back off, and Liv takes advantage of the chaos to grab a hair pull backbreaker and take control of the match. She's able to keep control for the most part for the next few minutes with Paige trying to fight back but Liv is able to keep control with some cheap tactics and gets a 2 count off a top rope splash. Liv gets frustrated and loads up the green mist, but Paige manages to duck it as she gets up and instead it hits Sarah, who had jumped on the apron to distract the ref! Sarah falls off the apron and Paige quickly hits the Paige Turner on Liv into a pin, and it gets the 3 count!

Winner via Pinfall: Paige

Post Match: Paige celebrates her victory but as she does, Ruby slides into the ring and blasts her in the back to knock her down! Ruby starts beating down Paige but not for long as Mandy and Sonya slide into the ring and grab a hold of her, and throw her over the top rope and to the floor! Ruby lands hard on the floor as Liv rolls out and helps Sarah to her feet, and The Riott Squad regroup together on the floor as Paige asks for a mic. She says enough is enough, it's time this is settled. She didn't want to reunite Absolution, but she was left with no choice, so how about at Extreme Rules, The Riott Squad face Absolution in an elimination match? Ruby nods quickly in agreement and yells at them that it's on, and the two trios have a staredown before Riott Squad head up the ramp, leaving the newly reunited Absolution to stand tall in ring.

Velveteen Dream comes out to the ring after a commercial break and says he's going to get right down to business, he wants a warm up match before he settles his problems with Bobby Roode on Sunday and he wants to do it in a Last Man Standing Match, just like he will on Sunday. He asks if anyone in the back wants to dance with the dream....and shortly after Shinsuke Nakamura comes out.

Match #4: Last Man Standing Match
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Velveteen Dream

A back and forth match with Dream looking to gain momentum towards Sunday and Nakamura looking to pick up a big win to get himself into title contention. Nakamura took the early advantage and beat down Dream with a quick series of strikes, but Dream fought back and after taking down Nakamura, went and grabbed the steel steps, but when he tried to slam Nakamura on them, Nakamura slid down the back and hit him with a german suplex. Nakamura then grabbed the steps and smacked Dream in the face, but Dream was up at 3. The fight continued for awhile longer before Dream hit the Dream Valley Driver on Nakamura and went to clear off the announce table, but suddenly Bobby Roode's music hit! Dream quickly slid into the ring and picked up a baseball bat, standing ready to fight Roode, but instead he was dropped with a low blow from Shinsuke! Nakamura started beating down Dream, then smacked him with a baseball bat and dropped him with a Kinshasa, but Dream managed to get to his feet at the 9 count. Nakamura was shocked and left the ring to grab a chair, but as he got back into the ring with it his shot was blocked as Dream caught the chair and shoved it into his face! Dream then picked up the chair and DDT'd Nakamura onto it and climbed up to the top turnbuckle, but suddenly Bobby Roode appeared on the ring apron and shoved Dream off the top turnbuckle, sending him crashing into the ring! Roode entered the ring and picked up Dream, dropping him with a spinebuster on the steel steps! Roode wasn't done there though as he climbed onto the steps, and dropped Dream with a Glorious DDT onto the steps, busting him open in the process! Dream rolled off the steps and was laid out on the mat as Roode helped Nakamura to his feet in the corner and watched the referee count to 10 as he backed up the ramp.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura

The Miz is in his office and announces the main event for the evening, since he wants to see how well they work together, he's booked Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre and Samoa Joe in a 6 man no dq tornado tag match tonight against New Day. He starts talking again, but he's cut off by Lince Dorado storming into his office! Dorado demands a rematch with Revival, but Miz says it's not possible because Oney isn't here tonight. Dorado says he doesn't care he'll find a new partner, and Miz agrees but warns if he can't find a partner, it will be a handicap match. Dorado agrees and Miz tells him to look fast because the rematch is coming up after the next match.

Match #5:
Zelina Vega vs Bayley

A very quick match as Zelina gets in some early offense but after taking a cheap tactic and using the ropes to choke Bayley, Bayley gets back into
things and hits a few quick strikes and after another minute or 2, she hits an exploder suplex on Zelina into the turnbuckles and then locking in the Koji Clutch, and after a short struggle, Zelina is forced to tap out.

Sasha Banks is shown watching the match on a monitor backstage when Renee Young comes up to her and asks her about her thoughts on Bayley's recent submissions wins. Sasha says she's glad Bayley added a new weapon to her repertoire, but she still likes her chances on Sunday. She says she's looking forward to the match with Bayley, they always put on a great show together and she expects this one to be no different, at least not in that way.

Match #6:
Revival vs Lince Dorado and ???

To the surprise of many fans, and to the Revival, Dorado's partner is revealed to be Kane. A fairly standard tag match ensures as Revival avoid Kane as best they can early on before he tags in Dorado, who hits some high flying offense to keep them reeling. Dorado ends up knocking both men to the floor and diving on them before throwing Dash into the ring and going for a springboard shooting star press, but Wilder gets the knees up to block it. Revival take control for awhile from here as they keep Lince isolated from the monster, and eventually they hit the Shatter Machine, but Kane breaks it up after plowing through Wilder who was trying to stop him. Shortly after this Dorado gets in a counter and makes the tag to Kane, who enters the ring and quickly begins clearing house, taking the fight to both members of Revival Wilder comes in illegally but he's disposed of after Kane whips him into Dawson, then splashes both men.

WWE Extreme Rules Live From Chicago, Illinois!

Match #1: Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match For The WWE Tag Team Championships
The War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe) vs The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) vs The Street Profits (c) (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford)

Absolute chaos throughout as the 3 teams fought it out for the tag team titles and the two teams of bigger men left a path of destruction in their paths while the Profits used high speed offense and some high flying to hang in there with the monsters. The big spots throughout the match were Hanson driving Harper through the barricade and powerbombing him through a ladder bridge at ringside, Dawkins shoved Rowe and Rowan off a ladder, sending both men crashing to the mat below and set up Ford to climb the ladder and hit a huge Frog Splash onto Rowe, Hanson splashing Dawkins through a table, and Harper throwing Ford through a table. In the end, Hanson and Harper were on top of a ladder fighting it out as Rowe blasted Ford with a chair to take care of him only to get wiped out by Rowan with a spin kick. Hanson managed to shove Harper off the ladder but Rowan climbed up just before he could win the belts and nearly knocked him off the ladder, but Hanson countered and shoved Rowan off the ladder and managed to pull down the belts to win the match.

Winners and NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: The War Raiders!

Backstage, Drew McIntyre says tonight he's going to kick the heads off of Randy Orton and Samoa Joe's shoulders and take the WWE Championship just like he was destined to many years ago when he was proclaimed The Chosen One. He's already proved once and for all he's better than Orton when he beat him in their cage match recently but he has something to prove tonight against Samoa Joe. He says they are the two biggest and baddest guys on Smackdown and it was only a matter of time until they ran into each other, and tonight he knows he's going to have to kill Joe to keep him down, but that's fine with him, someone needs to put Joe down anyway. He ends by saying tonight the prophecy is fulfilled and the WWE Championship comes home to Scotland.

Match #2: 6 Woman Elimination Tag
The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan) vs Absolution (Paige, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose)

I was lazy and didn't take a bunch of notes so here's the important info...
Despite teaming up for the first time in years and only reuniting because of the threat of the Riott Squad, Absolution worked well together and looked good as a unit. The first elimination came a few minutes in when Mandy hit Liv with a facebuster, and picked up a surprise pin and gave Absolution the numbers advantage. With being stuck working from behind, Ruby and Sarah had to fight smarter and they did just that by eventually isolating Mandy from her partners and after Ruby hit a Riott Kick while Sarah pulled Paige and Sonya off the apron, Ruby picked up the elimination and brought the match back to even. Ruby and Sarah took advantage of the momentum swing from here and managed to beat down Paige and Sonya for awhile, even driving Paige through an announce table, however the next elimination came when Sonya fought them off, spearing Ruby in ring, then spearing Sarah off the apron before hitting a jumping kick on Ruby, and eliminating the leader of the Riott Squad, giving Absolution back the numbers! The fans were surprised to see this as was Sarah Logan, who was back on her feet on the floor but she wasted no time going after Sonya, tackling her before stomping the hell out of her and running over to knock Paige off the apron. Sarah had a couple near falls on Sonya, but she wasn't able to finish her off before she made a tag to Paige, and this would prove to be Sarah's downfall as after a few minutes of back and forth, Paige hit the Paige Turner then whipped Sarah into the corner to tag back in Sonya, and together Paige and Sonya hit a Doomsday Device on Logan, with Sonya pinning her to pick up the final elimination and win for her team!

Winners via pinfall: Absolution

AJ Styles is backstage and says tonight is his chance to put an end to Killian Dain once and for all. He mentions how Dain has been running through everyone for awhile now but he proved when there's someone Dain can't destroy, can't beat, he has to grab a weapon and get DQ'd. But tonight it's No Holds Barred and Dain can't save himself by getting disqualified. He mentions he's fought plenty of guys bigger and tougher than Dain, tonight Killian Dain is going to have his reign of terror put to an end.

Match #3: Last Man Standing Match
Bobby Roode vs The Velveteen Dream

Dream starts fast and aggressive with strikes followed by a Dream DDT and suplexing Roode on the apron. He throws Roode into the barricade followed by the ring post and bouncing him off the announce table but when he charges Roode, he gets dropped with a clothesline out of nowhere. Roode tries to stomp on Dream but he rolls out of the way of it and gets back to his feet, and drops Roode on the floor with a Dream Valley Driver! Dream isn't going for the win yet though as he throws Roode onto the announce table before rolling back into the ring and he goes for a Purple Rainmaker from the ring...but Roode rolls out of the way and Dream goes crashing through the table! Roode stumbles away from the broken table and tells the ref to count, but Dream manages to get up at the 2 count, and Roode looks surprised and hops the barricade but Dream follows, and the fight has gone into the crowd. Roode goes into the area with weapons and grabs a kendo stick, but Dream blocks a shot from it and kicks it out of Roode's hand before grabbing a trash can and he smashes it over Roode's head, busting him open in the process! Dream stands back to let the ref count, and he gets up to 6 before Roode is back on his feet. Dream throws Roode into a table and ends up suplexing him through it and this time it takes Roode until the 8 count to get back to his feet. The two fight through the crowd, trading blows along the way before they get back into the ring eventually, and Roode knocks Dream down then grabs a sledgehammer, and drives it into his ribs! Roode goes for a spear on Dream once he's back up, but Dream dodges and returns the favor with the sledgehammer! He goes up to the top turnbuckle and hits Roode with the Purple Rainmaker, but upon landing he also manages to knock down the ref which gives Roode time to recover without a count.

The fight goes back to ringside with Dream throwing Roode into the steps then hitting another Dream Valley Driver, and he loads up a second announce table, but he turns around into a spear from Roode! Roode throws Dream onto the table and ends up putting Dream through the announce table with a pumphandle slam! Roode thinks it's over and walks away from Dream, even heads up the ramp and onto the stage, but Dream is back on his feet at the 7 count! Dream heads up the ramp and ends up following Roode backstage, where he ends up hitting Roode with a fire extinguisher before spraying him. They fight into the parking lot and Roode blocks a punch from Dream before powerslamming him onto the cement, but somehow Dream is up at the 4 count! Dream ducks a clothesline from Roode and shoves him into a car, which gives him a chance to recover a bit as he walks to the other side of the parking lot, and when Roode recovers and gets to him, he eats a superkick! Dream jumps onto the forklift and hits a diving knee drop onto Roode before pulling Roode up and telling him it was time to finish him, and climbing up on top of the production truck! Roode ended up following him up and they traded blows before Dream tried to throw Roode off with no luck, but Roode does succeed in throwing Dream off the truck and he hits the cement hard! Roode gloats and taunts while the ref counts, but to the shock of Roode and the fans, Velveteen is back up at the 9 count! Roode runs away from Dream and goes into the office of Miz, where Roode blocks a superkick from Dream, and hits a Roode Bomb! Roode isn't done yet though as he throws Dream onto Miz's desk, and ends up dropping him on the desk with a Glorious DDT! Dream rolled off the table and was laid out face first on the floor as Roode taunted, and this time there was no last gasp for Dream, as he was unable to answer the count of 10.

Absolution are in their locker room backstage and Paige praises them for their performance tonight, and says it was nice to reunite with them tonight to put down The Riott Squad. Sonya says it felt good to get revenge on them finally and she's glad to put them behind her, and Mandy says they have a good thing here with Absolution and they had that before too. She suggests they stay together and take the women's division by storm. Sonya says her and Mandy we're already going to do that, but she's down to do it with Paige by their side as well. Paige thinks about it for a minute, then says she's not sure. After all there is only 1 championship and all 3 of them can't hold it. Mandy says that's true, but that's an issue for the future, not now. She asks Paige to reconsider but Paige says she'll think on it, but tells them no matter what Absolution is a family and she still thinks of them as friends, so if they end up in another situation where they need some backup, all they have to do is ask. Mandy and Sonya tell her the same thing before we go back to the ring for the next match.

Monday Night Raw Week 9:

Kevin Owens comes out to start the show to a mixed reaction from the fans as he enters the ring. After waiting for his music to cut he talks about how last week Daniel Bryan became #1 contender for his title at Money In The Bank. He talks about how he's never fought Bryan 1 on 1 before and he's looking forward to the challenge of Daniel Bryan. He praises Bryan calling him one of the best wrestlers in the world and and says that was who he was hoping would win that match, but that's just because he wants a new challenge and to solidify himself as one of the best. Suddenly Bryan's music hits and after getting in the ring, he mentions that anytime he's been in the ring with Owens, Owens has lost. Bryan then says sure it's never been one on one, but the fact remains Owens has never beat him and he doesn't know if that'll change at Money In The Bank, after all he barely beat Roman Reigns in their two matches. Owens chimes in and says he has more fire in him than ever before and promises at Money In The Bank, he's going to beat Daniel Bryan, just like he did to Roman and just like he's done to anybody else who's gotten in his way, and warns Bryan if he wants to talk trash he'd be happy to drop him right now. Things get heated as they go nose to nose, but cooler heads prevail as Bryan steps back and Owens holds up the World Heavyweight Championship, and things don't end up getting physical as Bryan leaves the ring and backs up the ramp.

Ronda scoops up Billie and drops her with Piper's Pit then locks in an Armbar, but the tap out doesn't matter because Peyton Royce is legal! Peyton slides into the ring and breaks up the armbar and begins stomping on Ronda as Billie gets up and joins in, but suddenly Asuka and Ember get into the ring and realizing they're outnumbered, The Iiconics yell for Bianca as she gets to her feet, but instead of getting in the ring, she flips her hair and shakes her head before walking off! The Iiconics continue yelling at her but this is a mistake as Ember and Asuka attack Billie as Ronda grabs Peyton and throws her into the corner, and fires off punches on her as Billie rolls out of the ring after a double kick to the face and Ember and Asuka exit the ring to finish her off. A minute later, Ronda hits Piper's Pit on Peyton Royce and sees Asuka begging for a tag on the apron, and she tags her in! Asuka enters the ring and stalks Peyton, waiting for her to get up, then locks her into the Asuka Lock! Peyton tries to reach the ropes with no luck and with Billie still down at ringside, she's left with no choice but to tap!

Gargano instantly looks annoyed and the fans boo but Miz speaks up anyway and says he can't let Dain and Gargano fight tonight, but if Johnny wants a fight he has a solution for him, an awesome one at that. He's been looking for someone to fill the opening on the Smackdown roster and he thinks he's found his guy, but he wants him to earn it. So his suggestion is right now Johnny Gargano fights the new superstar, if Gargano wins not only can he have a singles match with Killian Dain next week, but he'll let Gargano pick the match type AND make it a title match. But on the flip side if Johnny loses, he doesn't get his match and his opponent gets a contract. Gargano quickly speaks up and tells Miz he has a deal, and as soon as he does, a big man slides into the ring behind Gargano! Miz wishes Gargano luck, and warns him he might wanna turn around to meet his opponent, Dominik Dijak. Suddenly, Gargano is lifted up onto his shoulders, and dropped with Feast Your Eyes, the reverse GTS! The tron goes dark as a ref comes running down the ring for the match.

Gargano is down and possibly out as Dain bails from the ring before the ref gets up, and Dijak crawls over and covers Gargano, but again he kicks out at 2! Dijak can't believe it as he pulls Gargano up, but suddenly Gargano blocks a strike from him and takes him down into the Gargano Escape!

Miz says as for Johnny Gargano, he's glad to have him back but he will not be fighting for the US Title next week.

Monday Night Raw Week 10:

The show opens with a table set up in the ring for a contract signing with a chair on either side of the table and the Raw GM Shawn Michaels standing in the ring with a mic. Shawn says what happened last week to Braun Strowman was unacceptable and he's going to find out who the masked attackers were and they will be punished for their actions. But as for this week, he's hired extra security to keep outsiders out as well as having them search people's bags when they come in. He promises there will be no mystery attackers showing up this week and next week he's hoping Braun Strowman will be back. As for right now he's here for the contract signing between Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan. The champ and challenger come down to the ring and Bryan asks Owens about getting under his skin last week by mentioning the fact Kevin has never beat him, asking if it bothered him so much because he's afraid history will repeat itself. Owens says he doesn't live in the past, he lives in the present where he's the World Heavyweight Champion and this is the Kevin Owens Show, and Daniel Bryan has.....done nothing of note besides win 1 number one contenders match recently. He admits Bryan has had his number in the past but says Bryan hasn't faced this Kevin Owens before, this Kevin Owens is fighting every day for his family and nobody will stop him, Roman Reigns couldn't do it, and Daniel Bryan damn sure won't. Both men sign the contract before standing up as Bryan says unlike Owens, he's going to control his temper and he's not going to engage Owens tonight, he'll wait until Money In The Bank where he'll defeat him. Bryan starts to leave, but suddenly Undisputed Era's music hits and they come out onto the stage, much to the confusion of the men in the ring. Adam Cole says he's so sick of hearing these 2 argue over who's going to do what, because at the end of the day it doesn't matter, he's going to win Money In The Bank and watch their match, wait until they beat the hell out of each other enough, then he's going to come out and cash in his briefcase, and the night will end with Adam Cole as World Heavyweight Champion Bay Bay. Shawn Michaels now speaks up and says in case Cole forgot, he's not even qualified for Money In The Bank yet, in fact if he wants to do that he'll have to beat his old friend Roderick Strong next week. But since UE decided to come out tonight, and Bryan and Owens seem to have some aggression to work out, he has an idea for the main event. Tonight it'll be Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens vs Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly in a non title match. Cole speaks on behalf of his boys and says that's fine with them, after all it's an excuse for them to soften up Bryan and Owens before Money In The Bank. Bryan and Owens meanwhile shoot each other a look, unsure about teaming tonight but they seem to have refocused their anger towards the men on stage as no violence occurs.

Match #1:
Cesaro vs Aleister Black

Cesaro debuts new red and black gear along with coming out with chains draped over him.

He isn't done yet however as he drags Black to his feet, and drops him on his head with a Spike Piledriver! Cesaro now leaves the ring without saying a word as Aleister is knocked out in the ring and the fans are left surprised at the new Cesaro.

Backstage, Dean Ambrose says he was not part of the trio of people who attacked Braun Strowman last week. He says he doesn't need to hide under a mask to do his attacks and he was disappointed by the attack because he was looking forward to kicking Strowman's ass. He says if Braun is back in action next week he wants to have their match they had planned, then ends by saying if he sees those masked attackers tonight he'll deal with them himself.

The beatdown is on from Gallows and Anderson as they stomp away on Roman, before Balor pushes them away...then makes a gun motion at Roman and pulls the trigger, which gives Gallows and Anderson the sign to pick Roman up, and drop him with a Magic Killer! Reigns is down as Balor goes up to the top rope as Gallows and Anderson drag Reigns into position and hold him down, and Balor hits the Coup D'etat! Suddenly, The Usos sprint down the ramp with chairs and seeing this, Balor Club bail out of the ring and glare into the ring as The Usos stand ready to fight despite the numbers disadvantage, but when they realize Balor Club is actually leaving they turn their attention to Reigns, checking on their cousin and helping him to his feet.

Adam Cole is backstage and says he doesn't give a damn what Roddy wants to do, or what he says. This is the story of his rise to the top of the company and Roderick Strong is nothing but a chapter in that story. He only recruited him to Undisputed Era in the first place because he needed to use him, and Roddy had served his purpose and proved he was a weak link and that's why he was kicked out. He says if Roddy wants to talk such a big game, then HBK should make it an Extreme Rules Match next week, he would love the chance to take Strong out of action for good. He says next week, Roderick Strong is proven as the weak link.

Match #7:
Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens vs Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) w/ Adam Cole

Your basic tag match with UE isolating Owens for most of the match with Cole causes a couple distractions during the match when the tide would turn towards Owens and Bryan favor. Towards the end of the match, Owens hit a Stunner on Fish into a pin, but Adam Cole pulled the ref out of the ring to save his team! Just as it looks like the ref is going to eject Cole from ringside however though, Roderick Strong hops the guard rail and attacks him! Strong is on the attack as Cole tries to get away by running up the ramp, but Strong follows him and chases him out of the arena and to the back! The distraction lets Owens make a tag to Bryan, who goes up to the top turnbuckle and goes for the Diving Headbutt, but Fish rolls out of the way and makes the tag to O'Reilly, and together they hit Chasing The Dragon! Kyle pins as Bobby knocks Owens off the apron, but Bryan kicks out at 2! The finish comes a few minutes later when Bryan locks O'Reilly into the Yes Lock, but Bobby Fish slides into the ring, only to get jumped by Owens, who drops him with a Pop Up Powerbomb just as O'Reilly taps out!

Smackdown Live Week 10:

As the show starts, Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega walk out onto the stage and quickly make their way down to the ring. After getting into the ring, Zelina tells the fans to welcome their future champion Andrade back to the show, which they do to a loud chorus of boos. After waiting for the crowd to quiet down Zelina says thanks to The Miz being the best GM, Andrade will be in a Money In The Bank Qualifying Match up next, which of course he'll win, and then he'll win the briefcase and whenever the time is right after that, World Heavyweight Champion. She says not only will she be leading Andrade to championship gold, but she's scouting the entire Smackdown roster looking for the right person to sign as a second client. She leaves the ring after this as Andrade takes off his jacket and prepares for his match.

Match #1: Money In The Bank Qualifying Match
Andrade Cien Almas vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Oney Lorcan vs Velveteen Dream

A long match with a lot of kickouts and saves from other people in the match, Andrade was wrestling more aggressive throughout including at one point taking a chair and beating the hell out of all 3 of his opponents with it, even busting open Dream with one of the chair shots. Later on, Oney hit a Running Neckbreaker out of nowhere on Nakamura, but Velveteen Dream broke up the pin and picked him up, then dropped him with the Dream Valley Driver! As Dream went to the top turnbuckle for the Purple Rainmaker however, Andrade slid into the ring and charged at him, hitting him with a kick to the face to send him flying off the turnbuckles and to the floor hard! Andrade then picked up the chair and slammed it across the back of Nakamura before throwing it down and dragging Oney to his feet, only to drop him with a Hammerlock DDT onto the chair! Andrade quickly covered and with his other opponents down, nobody was there to save Oney and it was enough to send Andrade to Money In The Bank!

Winner via pinfall and going to Money In The Bank:Andrade Cien Almas

In the locker room area, Johnny Gargano walks into AJ's locker room to ask him if he's ready to go to war tonight with Killian Dain and Dominik Dijak. AJ says of course he's ready and promises that tonight they both get some revenge on Dain for what he's done to them and they slay the new monster before he can even begin his reign of terror. Gargano agrees and says he can't wait to get his hands on both monsters, Dain took a month off his career and Dijak beat him to a bloody pulp last week. Styles mentions that Miz isn't here tonight so Killian has no protection and the street fight stipulation is going to give them the edge they need. They fist bump to end the segment.

Match #2: Money In The Bank Qualifying Match
Candice LeRae vs Nia Jax vs Sarah Logan

Nia dominates early as she manages to keep one of them out of the ring at all times early on, but eventually Candice and Sarah seem to realize they need to work together, and they gang up on Nia, jumping her at the same time and after a few minutes, they force her to roll out after a bit of a beatdown, and as soon as that happens, the alliance ends as Logan jumps Candice from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head and stomping the hell out of her. Later in the match, Sarah hits a Split Legged Moonsault on Candice, but she only gets 2. Nia Jax now comes back in after this and runs over Sarah in the process before stacking up Sarah and Candice in the corner, then splashing into them! Nia hits the Leg Drop on Logan before scooping her up for a Samoan Drop into a pin, but Candice breaks up the pin right away! Candice tries her best to fight off Nia including diving off the second rope at her, but she looks to be in trouble as Nia blocks her diving move, however suddenly Sarah Logan is back up and hits Nia with a running knee to the back! Sarah and Candice work together again to finish off Nia, forcing her to roll out after a double dropkick, and this time Candice expects an attack from Logan and dodges it, then quickly drops her with a single leg codebreaker for the win!

Winner via pinfall and going to Money In The Bank: Candice LeRae

Drew Gulak is with the Revival backstage and they're talking about their dominant and quick victory last week. Gulak says they have a good thing here and he thinks they are the best team Smackdown has to offer. Dash and Dawson mention the fact they have a match with New Day later tonight and ask Gulak to manage them for their match, after all they could use someone to make sure New Day doesn't try to cheat. Gulak quickly agrees to do it, and says he thinks they have some business to discuss after the match, but first he has a match of his own to get ready for. Dawson wishes him luck and tells him he hopes he wins the Money In The Bank Briefcase so he can truly improve Smackdown as Gulak walks off.

Match #3: Money In The Bank Qualifying Match

Drew McIntyre is in the ring after a break and brags about how he destroyed Samoa Joe last week and sent a message to him that his days as champion are numbered. Drew says he may have sent his message to Joe last week, but he's not satisfied, he wants to send a message to the entire Smackdown locker room that you don't wanna cross Drew McIntyre. He's issuing an open challenge right now to anybody who wants to get their head kicked off but warns it'll be the worst mistake they can make, and after a few moments, Chris Jericho's music hits giving Drew his answer.

Match #4:
Drew McIntyre vs Chris Jericho

Drew jumps Jericho before the bell, running up the ramp to lay out Jericho before whipping him into the barricade and the steel steps then throwing him into the ring. Things don't get better for Jericho once the bell rings, as Drew beats the hell out of him throughout the match, choosing to focus on beating Jericho up more instead of going for pins at multiple points. He ends up spearing Jericho through the barricade and almost gets a count out win off it, but Jericho gets back in at the 8 count. Shortly after this Jericho takes control finally and strings together a bit of offense before hitting his comeback followed by dropping Drew with a Codebreaker, but he only gets 2 off the pin. Drew gets back to his feet and blocks a punch, then drops Jericho with a headbutt! Drew now throws Jericho out of the ring and ends up putting Jericho through the announce table with a Future Shock DDT!

Drew rolls over into a pin and finally it's over.

Winner via pinfall: Drew McIntyre

As soon as the match ends, Samoa Joe's music hits and he walks out onto the stage with his title over his shoulder as he glares at McIntyre, who's daring him to come get in the ring and go another round with him. Joe now speaks and says he admits it, Drew kicked his ass last week, he under estimated him. But Drew made the mistake of not injuring him last week because he's an indestructible monster when he's defending his championship and at Money In The Bank, Joe's Gonna Kill You. Joe drops the mic and the champion and challenger glare at each other until the show goes to commercial.

The Iiconics aren't done yet though as they pull Asuka up to her feet, and together they lift her up, and drive her through the table! Asuka lays in the broken table not moving, as Peyton picks up her Raw Women's Championship and poses with it with Billie Kay, celebrating getting the upper hand on her challenger before they leave the ring and head up the ramp holding hands and laughing at Asuka.

Match #7:
Kevin Owens vs Kurt Angle w/ American Alpha

A great match here as Daniel Bryan picks an all time great technician to face the champion tonight, and they do not disappoint as they give the fans a thrilling main event. Kurt Angle blocked the Stunner at 2 different points in the match, the second time hitting an Angle Slam right afterwards, but Owens kicks out at 1 from a pin. A couple minutes later, Angle locks in the Ankle Lock, but Owens manages to roll through and grab a quick roll up pin, but Angle kicks out at 1 himself. Owens manages to hit a Cannon Ball in the corner on Angle, but before he can follow up Jason Jordan is up on the apron causing a distraction, but Owens isn't having it and goes out of the ring after him, superkicking him at ringside before throwing him into the ring to beat him down while also keeping Angle down. Jordan gets ejected shortly after this and Angle is back up, and goes for another Angle Slam, but Owens blocks it and hits the Pop Up Powerbomb, and gets the win off it.

Smackdown Live Week 11:

The Miz is in the ring to start the show wearing a fancy suit and holding a mic, he looks surprised at the boos he's receiving and shakes his head in annoyance at them, before speaking up and welcoming everybody to the most must see show of the week, Smackdown Live! He mentions being on the road to Money In The Bank and announces that tonight the 4 women representing Smackdown in Money In The Bank will be in a fatal four way match, but the first order of business tonight is establishing a new #1 contender to US Champion Killian Dain. Miz says he's scoured the entire Smackdown roster to find the best choices for the contenders match, and he's decided to go with 6 of the up and coming stars on the brand and give them a chance to earn a shot at Killian Dain. Suddenly, Miz gets a surprise as Johnny Gargano's music hits and he walks out dressed to compete, but as he's making his way down the ramp Miz begins yelling no, telling him he's not in the #1 contenders match, in fact he's not even booked tonight so he's not sure why he's dressed to compete. Gargano gets into the ring and says he's not here for a shot at Dain, he'll worry about him later, he wants Dijak and he wants him tonight, preferably right now. Miz thinks about it for a minute, then says he likes the sound of that, Johnny Gargano vs Dominik Dijak part 2, but not right now, he wants to save it for the main event of the evening.

Gargano seems pleased, but then asks what's the catch? When is Killian Dain or someone else going to come out and get involved in the match since nothing ever seems to go as planned around here. Miz says there's no catch, and says Killian has a match of his own tonight anyway. He says if it'll make Johnny feel better he'll ban everyone from ringside and make it a Steel Cage Match. Gargano says that sounds good to him, and before leaving he warns Miz when he's done with Dijak, he's coming for Killian next. Miz mocks Gargano behind his back as he's leaving the ring, then says he should focus on Dijak if he doesn't wanna leave the arena a bloody carcass again like 2 weeks ago. Gargano looks angry at Miz, but walks off to the back and Miz introduces the competitors in the contenders match.

Match #1: US Championship #1 Contenders Elimination Match
Zack Ryder vs Oney Lorcan vs Aiden English vs Mustafa Ali vs Curt Hawkins vs Tony Nese

Typical chaos for the first few minutes with everyone fighting anyone who they can, but suddenly Nese rolls up Aiden English out of nowhere and the surprise pin is enough to catch him off guard and get rid of him for the first elimination of the match. A couple minutes later Ali, Oney, and Hawkins fight outside of the ring as Nese german suplexs Ryder in ring, then goes up top and hits the 450 Splash! He covers for a pin and Hawkins tries to go break it up and save his partner, but Oney takes him out with an uppercut to stop him, and Ryder is the second man eliminated! Nese takes the opportunity to dive onto the group on the floor after the pin and the fight continues on the floor for a couple minutes before Nese and Ali get into the ring with Nese putting Ali on the top turnbuckle, only to shove him off the top and to the floor! Suddenly, Curt Hawkins slides in behind Nese and spins him around, and drops him quickly with the Taste of Pain! Hawkins covers Nese for a pin, but Nese kicks out at 2! Hawkins tries to throw Nese out of the ring, but Nese blocks it and throws him out, then slides out of the ring to go after Ali, dropping him face first on the apron before laying him out with a superkick! Hawkins and Lorcan meanwhile have gotten into the ring and Hawkins counters a scoop slam and dropkicks him. Back on the floor, Ali blocks a punch from Nese and drops him with a flatliner on the floor as Hawkins places Lorcan throat first onto the middle rope, but Hawkins is blindsided with a rana into a rollup from Ali, and it gets a pin as Hawkins is caught off guard, and we're down to 3!

Nese gets double teamed for a bit after he tried to make them fight each other, but after they take him down with a double suplex, Ali rolls up Oney out of nowhere, but Oney kicks out at 2, and with the alliance broken, Oney drops Ali with an uppercut then forms a new alliance with Nese as the two of them beat down Mustafa for awhile before Nese hits him with a 450 Splash, but Ali kicks out at 2. Oney picks Ali up, and hits him with a Half and Half Suplex, but Ali rolls out of the ring from this, and Nese takes the opportunity to blindside Lorcan with a jumping knee to the back! The two fight for a couple minutes before Oney puts Nese on the top turnbuckle, then hits him with a top rope Half and Half Suplex, but Ali is back in and rolls up Oney, but again a roll up only gets 2 and Ali quickly throws Oney out of the ring and to the floor, then dives onto him to wipe him out! Ali spins kicks Nese as he gets back in the ring then goes up top, and the 054 connects! Ali covers, and the pin is enough for the 4th elimination! With the match down to 2, Oney Lorcan stumbles to his feet on the floor and glares at Ali before sliding into the ring and the brawl is on! The two fight for a couple minutes before Oney attempts a Half and Half Suplex, but Ali lands on his feet! Oney turns around and walks into a superkick! Ali goes out onto the ring apron and once Lorcan is up, Ali hits a slingshot neckbreaker, and it's enough for the win finally!

Winner via pinfall and NEW #1 Contender for the US Championship: Mustafa Ali

After the match: Mustafa Ali gets to his feet holding his ribs after they took a beating all match and he suffered a minor injury, but just as Oney rolls out of the ring, The Miz comes out onto the stage and claps for Ali, before congratulating him, and telling him that was a hell of a performance, but he hopes Ali has more in him...because he's getting his title shot right now! Ali sighs and tries to protest, but Miz tells him he has good news for Ali, because of the fact he already went through a grueling match he wants to even the playing field a bit, he's making it a No Holds Barred Match so that way Killian Dain has no championship advantage. He wishes Ali luck before walking backstage, and the music of the US Champ hits and he comes out onto the stage with a grin on his face, he's a shark who smells blood in the water.

Match #2: No Holds Barred Match for the United States Championship
Mustafa Ali vs Killian Dain (c)

Dain starts fast, trying to destroy Ali within minutes, but after a few big moves to start, Ali gets a roll up out of nowhere, but he doesn't even get a 1 count off it. Dain gets back up and drops Ali with a running kick then hits a couple deadlift powerbombs! Dain throws Ali into the corner and hits him with a vader bomb into a cover, but Ali kicks out at 2. Dain backs up across the ring and motions for Ali to get up, and he stumbles to his feet slowly, then turns around right into a charging Dain, who wipes him out with a Running Crossbody! Dain covers Ali for another pin, but somehow Ali kicks out again at 2! Dain looks angry at Ali not staying down, and quickly drags him to his feet and lifts him up, going for Ulster Plantation...but Ali blocks it with punches to the head followed by a poisonrana! Ali follows it up with a couple dropkicks and he finally has the big man down, so he goes up top and dives off for a frog splash! He covers, but Dain kicks out at 1! Ali can't believe it but stays on the attack and goes out onto the apron, and once Dain gets up, he's dropped with a slingshot neckbreaker into a pin, but Dain kicks out at 2! Ali stays on the attack as he hits a kick to the face to keep Dain down, then goes back to the top rope and goes for the 054....but Dain gets the knees up to block it! Dain looks angry as he gets to his feet, quickly throwing Ali out of the ring and beats him down for a bit on the floor before slamming him through the barricade! Dain smirks as he goes under the ring and grabs a chair, bringing it into the ring before going back out of the ring to grab 2 chairs from ringside, now having a pile of 3 chairs in the ring. He isn't done yet though as he rolls back out, and grabs the steel steps, sliding them into the ring and placing them next to the chairs, leaving a dangerous pile of weapons, but he forgot about Ali, who slides into the ring and charges him, hitting him with a swinging neckbreaker onto the pile of weapons! Ali lands on the weapons himself but he has the monster down and after pulling himself up with the ropes, he climbs to the top turnbuckle, then hits the 054! Ali has his opportunity to become champion as he covers Dain, hooking the leg on a pin....but Dain kicks out just before the 3! Ali can't believe it as he gets to his feet and rolls out of the ring and goes over to the announce tables, clearing one off, but when Dain recovers and follows to the floor, Dain hits him with an elbow to the face then whips Ali into the table, then chokeslams him through the announce table!

Dain throws Ali into the ring and grabs a chair, beating the hell out of Ali with it before pulling him up, then backing up and charging at him, wiping him out with another running crossbody! Dain doesn't cover however, instead he drags Ali up, and slams him onto the pile of weapons! Dain then drags the lifeless carcass of Ali up and throws him into the corner, then lifts him up and drops him with the Ulster Plantation! Dain covers and 3 seconds later, it's over finally after Mustafa Ali's rib injury has worsened.

Winner via pinfall and STILL United States Champion: Killian Dain

Post match: Dain decides to inflict even more punishment as he drags Ali back to his feet, and hits him with another Ulster Plantation! Mustafa Ali is lifeless on the mat as Dain holds up his title in celebration before leaving the ring and the ref checks on Ali.

After a break, The Revival are in ring and sporting black and white matching robes, and Dawson has a mic and says tonight is an exciting night because tonight, The Revival grows in numbers. Dash nods in agreement before chiming in and saying the 3rd member of The Revival is a man who thinks just like they do, a man who also wants to clean up wrestling and get rid of the flips and the dives and the nonsense, a man who has proved to be an absolute machine in the ring, and the man who bought them these fancy 500 dollar robes, Drew Gulak! Gulak walks out, also sporting a robe and he comes down to the ring, shaking hands with his new teammates. Gulak takes a mic and says tonight is the beginning of The Revival taking over Smackdown. He praises Dash and Dawson for being the best tag team in the world and says now that he's joined them, The Revival are officially the best trio in WWE. Suddenly their cut off by The New Day, who come out onto the stage and ask if Revival are serious about being the best trio in WWE when they aren't even the best trio on Smackdown, not when their here. Woods then makes fun of their robes, saying if they paid 500 dollars for those they should ask for their money back, but Gulak speaks up and says New Day are the exact type of sillyness that needs to be eliminated from WWE, and mentions the fact the three of them are undefeated as a trio. Big E starts laughing and says they've had one 6 man tag match and Kofi says if they wanna test themselves, how about they face them right now? Revival agree and say it's on and New Day head down the ramp.

Match #3:
The Revival (Dash Wilder, Scott Dawson, and Drew Gulak) vs New Day

Gulak and Kofi start for their teams, and the action goes back and forth to start for the first couple minutes with a couple quick tags before Big E gets isolated by Revival and they beat him down for awhile, working over the leg mostly, but eventually he gets a hot tag to Kofi, who cleans house for a bit, taking on all 3 men himself including hitting the trust fall dive onto Gulak and Dawson, then sliding into the ring for a running double stomp to Dash! Kofi throws Dash into the New Day corner and makes a tag to Big E, and they connect on Midnight Hour! Big E covers but he only gets 2 before Dawson breaks it up! Dawson starts attacking Big E, but suddenly Kofi comes back into the ring and wipes out Dawson with Trouble In Paradise! Dawson rolls out of the ring as Gulak slides in and hits a regalplex on Kofi to force him to roll out, then dropkicks Big E to prevent him getting control back and knocking Woods off the apron and leaving the ring. At the end of the match a few minutes later, Xavier Woods is hit with a Shatter Machine and Dash pins, but Big E and Kofi break it up! Dawson and Gulak get into the ring and the fight is on before Revival clear out Kofi and Big E, and Woods is left alone and Dash tags in Gulak and Dash hits a brainbuster followed by Gulak hitting a Frog Splash, and it's enough for the pin as the new trio beats the proven one!

Winners via pinfall: The Revival

Dijak is backstage and says he spent the last two weeks trying to put Johnny Gargano back on the shelf, but this week in the cage he finishes the job. He says it's nothing personal with Gargano, just business. He says he's only been here 2 weeks and already everyone is talking about him and how destructive he is. He says tonight is the end of Johnny Gargano and after this, everybody on Smackdown better pray they don't end up on the hit list.

Match #4:
Carmella vs Becky Lynch

Back and forth match with Mella slightly dominating, but Becky hangs in there. At one point Carmella locks in the Code of Silence, looking for a surprise submission victory, however Becky escapes only to get kicked in the face before she can get up and Carmella quickly covers for a pin, but Becky kicks out at 2. Becky gets up to her feet and hits her comeback, but as she tries to pick up Carmella, she's hit with a jawbreaker and Carmella hits her with a Superkick! Carmella falls into a pin, but Becky again kicks out at 2 then rolls out of the ring looking for a breather, but Mella follows her out to the floor which proves to be a mistake as she's caught with a Bexploder on the floor!

Becky quickly pulls Carmella up to her feet and lifts her up onto her shoulders, and drops her with a TKO! Becky covers for a pin and gets the win moments later.

Winner via pinfall: Becky Lynch

Pete Dunne is backstage and gets asked about his thoughts on the upcoming Money In The Bank Ladder Match and his chances, before he can answer however, Bobby Roode walks up and questions why anybody would care what Pete Dunne thinks, the guy who had to win a last chance battle royal to get into the match. He says the person everyone should be talking to is him, the man who's going to win Money In The Bank and become the next WWE Champion. Pete Dunne chimes in now and gets in the face of Roode before saying at least he earned his place in Money In The Bank, unlike Roode who had to kiss Miz's ass to get a spot handed to him. Roode gets angry but just before any violence can happen, Andrade and Zelina Vega walk up and Zelina says it doesn't matter what either of them think, because the man who's winning Money In The Bank is her client Andrade Cien Almas. Dunne looks annoyed at more interruptions to his time, and says how about both of them meet him in the ring next week because he prefers to let his fists do the talking for him. Both men agree and Dunne walks off, but after he leaves Zelina puts a hand on Roode's shoulder and tells him they have a lot to talk about. Roode seems interested and leaves with Vega and Almas.

Match #5:
Candice LeRae vs Liv Morgan vs Sonya Deville vs Kairi Sane

Complete chaos and a finisher fest throughout the match that I forgot to take better notes on. The end of the match comes when Kairi hits the Insane Elbow on Liv, but Sonya breaks up a pin, then spears Candice off the apron and throws Liv out of the ring. Kairi gets to her feet and goes for a spinning backfist, but Sonya blocks it and hits a Jumping Kick to Sane! Sonya covers, and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Sonya Deville

Johnny Gargano is backstage and says tonight is the beginning of his redemption and revenge on Smackdown. He says it starts tonight with beating the hell out of Dijak in the cage, and taking a bucket of his blood, and it ends with beating Killian Dain, maybe even taking his championship. Gargano says Miz is abusing his power and protecting his favorites, like earlier tonight with having Dain fight an already tired and beat up Mustafa Ali. He says he has an eye on Miz and hopes he didn't lie to him about nobody getting involved in his match tonight, but he'll handle it if he does, and says for now he's focused on Dijak and getting revenge for the assault 2 weeks ago.

Match #6:
Sasha Banks vs Mandy Rose

A fairly quick match with Sasha dominating the majority of it and going for a quick finish by locking in a Bank Statement on Mandy early on, but Mandy fights it off very quickly and counters into a roll up for 2. Mandy hits a knee to the face then goes for a facebuster, but Sasha blocks it and hits Bankrupt. She goes up top and hits a top rope meteora for 2. She quickly follows up with a second Bank Statement, and with the ropes nowhere near her, Mandy is left with no choice but to tap out.

Winner via Submission: Sasha Banks

Backstage right after the match, Mandy Rose storms past the cameras, and walks up to Paige, who was watching the match on a monitor and asks her where she was for the match. Paige says she was watching the match from the back, and Mandy asks her why she wasn't at ringside, and if she's fully committed to Absolution or not. Paige shrugs and says she figured Mandy could herself and didn't need a manager, after all Sonya handled herself earlier and won, but Mandy seems to not be able to handle things herself, after all she lost pretty handily. Mandy glares at Paige and says she only lost because she was wondering where the hell her "teammate" was. Things start to get heated but Sonya runs up and gets between them, and asks what the problem is. Mandy explains and Sonya says it's not worth getting so heated over, and both of them need to calm down. Both Paige and Mandy start to calm down while still shooting each other looks and Sonya says they just got back together, they need to put their egos aside and work together, Absolution could be a good thing but it's going to take all of them committing to it. Mandy says she's in, after all she's not the one who didn't support a teammate. Paige thinks for a moment, then sighs and says whatever, she's still in. The trio walk off together now.

Match #7: Steel Cage Match
Johnny Gargano vs Dominik Dijak

Back and forth grueling match with both men more focused on punishing each other more than winning, and at different points in the match both guys got busted open. At one point Dijak hits Feast Your Eyes after whipping Gargano into the cage, but Johnny kicks out at 2. Later on, Gargano hits a lawn dart in the corner then hits his Superkick, but Dijak kicks out at 2. Gargano goes back into the corner and goes for another Superkick, but this time Dijak counters and scoops him up, hitting a second Feast Your Eyes! Dijak covers, but again Gargano kicks out at 2! At the end of the match, both men are fighting on the side of the cage, taking turns slamming each other into the cage, and eventually Johnny gets the better of it as he knocks Dijak off the side of the cage and to the mat! Johnny climbs up to the top of the cage and debates escaping, but instead he dives off the cage, and hits a huge splash onto Dijak! Gargano crawls over to the ropes and pulls himself to his feet, then lines up in the corner, and hits another Superkick! Gargano falls into a pin, but somehow Dijak kicks out again at 2! Gargano is shocked and unsure what to do as he looks at the cage door, then looks back at Dijak, who's beginning to get up, and he hits him with a kick to the ribs! Gargano then debates going for more punishment, but instead calls for the door to the cage and tries to escape, but Dijak gets up and grabs him before he can escape, but after a short struggle, Gargano snaps the neck of Dijak off the top rope and falls out of the cage, getting the win over his monster rival!

Monday Night Raw Week 12:

Braun Strowman comes out right after the show opening and he's dressed to compete as he enters the ring. Braun quickly takes a mic from the ring announcer and says he's sick of the games and he's sick of being jumped, he knows Dean Ambrose is one of the masked men and right now, he's calling out all 3 of the masked men to come fight him right now. But if Dean Ambrose wants to prove he's not under one of those masks, why doesn't he just come out with them and all four of them can get these hands. The fans roar with excitement as Braun throws down the mic and stands ready to compete...but instead of Dean Ambrose or the masked attackers, the music of Rey Mysterio hits? Braun looks confused as Mysterio walks out onto the stage with a mic and asks for his music to cut as he heads down the ramp, and he quickly tells Braun he doesn't know who's been behind the attacks recently, but he wants to find out who it is too and offers to team with Braun to take them on. Braun picks the mic back up and says he trusts Rey, and if Rey wants to help him he's fine with that. Mysterio now joins Braun in the ring but suddenly the lights in the arena go out, and static plays loudly over the speakers!

The lights come back on a minute later, and the tron is still at static, but a muffled voice tells Strowman and Mysterio to look up to the top of the arena, and suddenly we see the three masked men standing there! Red Mask warns Braun and Rey to stay in the ring if they want a fight, which stops them from exiting the ring to come after them, and then says Dean Ambrose is not one of them, last week he just got lucky because their target was Braun, and a few weeks ago when Ambrose didn't show up for their match? That's because they took him out. Braun chimes in and dares them to shut up and come down to the ring for a fight, but Red says no, they don't play by Braun's rules and the fight will happen when they want it to, but this just angers the monster who starts to exit the ring, but suddenly Raw GM Shawn Michaels runs out onto the stage and yells for Braun to stay calm, he's going to settle this. He says he wants to know who's under the masks too, and he's not sure if Dean Ambrose is one of them or not, but he has a way to settle it. Tonight we're going to have 6 man tag team match, the 3 masked attackers will team up to face Braun Strowman, Rey Mysterio....and Dean Ambrose! He says this is the only way to make sure Dean Ambrose is not one of them and Red Mask chimes in to say tonight they send Mysterio and Strowman to the hospital. Suddenly though, Strowman says screw waiting, and now him and Mysterio nod to each other then hop out of the ring and over the barricade as Shawn yells for security as they come running out, but the masked men quickly exit the arena and before they get too far, Strowman and Mysterio are stopped by a wall of security, and Shawn tells them to save it for later, and eventually cooler heads prevail as Raw goes to break.

Match #1:
Ricochet vs Seth Rollins

Back and forth to start with nobody gaining a real advantage, until Rollins hits a DDT followed by a springboard knee strike and a diving elbow drop, but Ricochet kicks out at 1. Ricochet shoves Rollins away as he tries to pull him up, then hits a dropkick followed by another. He hits a few more running strikes, getting his momentum rolling and he goes up to the second turnbuckle for a splash, but Rollins gets the knees up to block it. Rollins hits a kick to the ribs to buy himself a moment to recover but then Ricochet gets up, only to walk into a Ripcord Knee attempt, but Ricochet counters with a clothesline! He goes for his comeback, but Rollins sees it coming and rolls out of the ring, but this just leaves himself open for Ricochet to hit a running dive over the top rope and wiping out Rollins! The fight continues on the floor for a bit after this as Ricochet attempts to throw Rollins into the barricade, but Rollins reverses and sends Ricochet into it instead, then throws him into the ring post before throwing him back into the ring. Seth goes for a springboard knee strike, but Ricochet sidesteps and Rollins lands hard on his knee! Ricochet takes advantage of that with a dragon screw to wipe Rollins out, then drops him again with a flat liner, but only gets a 2 count. Ricochet goes up top for the 630 Senton, but Rollins jumps up to his feet and hits a running kick to send Ricochet to the floor hard! The fight goes up the ramp now with a fist fight, but Rollins gets the better of it and ends up driving Ricochet through the announce table with a falcon arrow! Rollins heads back down the ramp, and tells the ref to count out Ricochet, but at the 9 count Ricochet makes it back in! Ricochet rolls out of the way of a kick from Rollins to keep him down, then gets up only to get rolled up quickly by Seth, but the pin attempt only gets 2. Seth follows up with a snap suplex and goes to the top turnbuckle, frog splash! Seth covers for another pin attempt, but again gets 2. Seth ends up hitting a superplex into a falcon arrow for another pin attempt, but again it only gets 2, and Seth is shocked and seems desperate to finish this! He motions for Ricochet to get up, then charges him, only to get punched then dropped with a dragonrana, dropping him on his head! Ricochet sees his opening now as he climbs up to the top turnbuckle, then connects on the 630 Senton! He crawls over to cover Seth, but Seth kicks out at 2, and now Ricochet is shocked! Ricochet stays on the attack though as he hits a standing shooting star press, then goes back to the top turnbuckle, and looks for another 630 Senton...it's blocked with knees to the back! Rollins gets to his feet and quickly hits a Curb Stomp out of nowhere! He covers Ricochet, and finally this incredible battle is over!

Winner via pinfall: Seth Rollins

Post Match: Rollins gets his arm raised in victory but pulls away, and pulls Ricochet up to his feet, then holds out his hand to him for a handshake! Ricochet thinks about it for a second, then shakes his hand, and Rollins now raises the arm of Ricochet, showing respect for the hard fought battle.

Undisputed Era are in the interview area backstage and gets asked about the challenge from Matt Hardy to a match tonight. Bobby Fish chimes in and says he accepts that challenge and ups the ante, saying he got Shawn Michaels to agree to the winner of the match getting to pick the stipulation for the title match at Money In The Bank. Kyle O'Reilly chimes in and says at Money In The Bank, they end this thing with The Hardys once and for all. He reminds Renee that they started this by abducting them backstage months ago, and calls Matt insane, Bobby chimes in again and says The Hardys are going to regret that because they will be lucky to walk out of Money In The Bank. Renee then asks Adam Cole about his chances of winning Money In The Bank, and he begins talking about how he'll win, when suddenly, Heavy Machinery walks up. Otis asks Adam Cole if he forgot about him being in the Money In The Bank Match, and Adam Cole laughs him off and asks if Otis can even climb a ladder, but this angers Otis who challenges him to a match tonight. Cole starts laughing again and asks why he would waste his time fighting Otis, the guy who needed a miracle to win his qualifying match. He starts making fun of Otis more, but Otis snaps and shoves Cole, sending him stumbling backwards into the rest of UE! Tucker now steps forward and tries to calm Otis down, but Cole gets in Otis's face and says he's on for a match tonight, and Otis nods, satisfied and walks off with Tucker while Cole glares at him.

Match #2: Winner Picks The Stipulation For Match at Money In The Bank
Matt Hardy w/ Jeff Hardy vs Bobby Fish w/ Undisputed Era

Bobby Fish dominates the majority of the match, working over the leg of Hardy as he tries to fight back, but he has trouble getting rolling for awhile. At one point Matt hits 3 straight leg drops, but only gets a 1 count. Later on he snaps off a Side Effect for a 2 count, but Kyle gets on the apron to distract the ref! Matt realizes this and goes after him on the floor, but Kyle tries to run away only to be stopped by Jeff blocking his path, and Matt spins Kyle around, dropping him with a Twist of Fate! He turns around and clotheslines Bobby Fish, who left the ring to go after him, before throwing O'Reilly into the ring and into the corner, slamming his head into the turnbuckles 10 times in a row, and the referee ejects O'Reilly from ringside! Matt taunts as Kyle exits the ring, but Bobby slides into the ring and catches Matt with a roll up pin, but only gets 2 off the surprise pin! Bobby is up first and as soon as Matt is up, he drops him with the Flying Fish Hook! Bobby covers Matt again, but again only gets 2! He stays on the attack though and locks in Fish Hook Deluxe, but after a short struggle, Matt manages to escape and get to his feet, drawing blood on Fish after punching him in the face! Matt opens up the cut more with the 10 turnbuckle smashes, but Fish reverses right after that and takes out Matt's leg by dropping a knee on it! Fish gets another 2 count off a second Flying Fish Hook, and follows up with a second Fish Hook Deluxe, but it's in the ropes. A minute later as both are back up, Matt blocks a punch from Bobby, and drops him with a Side Effect out of nowhere, but only gets 2 as Adam Cole distracts the ref! Matt sees this and tries to attack him, but Cole jumps off the apron and laughs. Suddenly though, Jeff Hardy comes running around ringside, and dives off the steps and wipes out Cole! Matt laughs as Jeff continues to pound on Cole, but suddenly Bobby Fish sneaks up behind Matt and goes for a back suplex, but Matt lands on his feet, and drops Bobby with a Twist of Fate! Fish is down and Matt covers him, and it's enough for the pin!

After The Match: Bobby Fish rolls out of the ring as Jeff Hardy slides into the ring and hugs his brother, and Kyle O'Reilly comes back out to check on his teammates, and help them up. Matt Hardy now asks for a mic and gets one, and says he has the perfect stipulation that will let him and Brother Nero DELETE and ELIMINATE the Era of Undisputed, an elimination hardcore match! Fish and O'Reilly look slightly nervous as they head up the ramp, and Matt begins yelling DELETE as him and Jeff make the delete motion with their arms.

Alexa Bliss is in her locker room and she says it doesn't matter who else is in Money In The Bank, she's going to win her second Money In The Bank Match. She mentions that nobody else in the match has won it before, and some of them have never even been in a Money In The Bank Match, and ends by saying she promises she will be the next Raw Women's Champion, and tells the fans that this was their moment of bliss.

Shayna Baszler is now on screen and says she is the most dominant woman in the entire company, and mentions the fact she's undefeated, and says neither of those things are going to change in Money In The Bank, she's going to get the briefcase and soon after that she'll become champion. She says she's going to hurt all 7 of her opponents in route to victory.

Naomi is now on screen in a neon room and mentions being a Money In The Bank veteran and says all her opponents will feel the glow and it's about time she wins a briefcase.

Mickie James now has her promo time and she mentions being a 6 time Women's Champion, and says it's about time she wins a 7th and getting the briefcase would be the easiest way to make that happen. She says nobody in the match has more experience than her and that will lead her up the ladder of success.

Back in the ring now, Peyton Royce is in the ring by herself and says she's sick of the haters saying she's a terrible champion and saying Asuka's gonna kill her on Sunday, so she's got something to prove and that's why she's created the ICONIC challenge. She explains the rules of the challenge: she's issuing an open challenge to anybody in the back to come out and face her for her championship, and under the same rules that have been stacked against her at Money In The Bank meaning she cannot be disqualified or counted out without losing the belt, and Billie Kay is banned from ringside. But there's a twist: anyone answering the challenge must meet 3 requirements.

1. They must be a former champion.

2. They can't be Asuka.

3. They cannot be on the Raw Roster.

With that the first of many ICONIC challenges is now open...and after a few moments of waiting, Nikki Bella comes out to answer the challenge.

Match #3: Raw Women's Championship Match, Billie Kay is banned from ringside and Peyton Royce will lose the title if she's counted out or DQ'd.
Nikki Bella vs Peyton Royce (c)

Peyton starts fast with a running crossbody and stomps on Nikki until she gets up and drops Peyton with a right hand. Nikki takes a moment to shake out the cobwebs as Peyton recovers, then whips her into the corner only to get kicked away when she tries to follow up. A few minutes later, Peyton Royce hits a spin kick into a pin, but only gets 2. She quickly tries to follow up with the Venus Fly Trap, but Nikki blocks it and hits a Forearm Smash for a 2 count of her own. Bella pulls Peyton up to her feet and lifts her up for the Rack Attack, but Peyton blocks it with elbows the side of the head, then slides down her back, and a second spin kick drops Nikki, and this time a pin is enough to get the win!

After The Match: Peyton Royce quickly goes back on the attack, smashing Nikki in the face with the title before hitting her with the Venus Fly Trap! She then grabs a mic and says she just destroyed a has been, who's really a never was who some fans considered an all time great, but those fans are fools, just like Asuka. She says not only will she be the most ICONIC Women's Champion of all time, but also the greatest once she overcomes the odds that that evil Shawn Michaels stacked against her and pins Asuka right in the middle of the ring. She poses with the title before leaving the ring.

The Balor Club are backstage and Balor brags about Gallows and Anderson defeating The Usos, saying it was the first of many wins for the new and improved team. He says The Bloodline are part of the problem on Raw, people who are always on top and considered for title shots no matter what. He says that's why they must be destroyed, and promises they will be the ones to do it and they'll do it soon.

Match #4:
Adam Cole w/ Undisputed Era vs Otis Dozovic w/ Tucker Knight

Adam Cole largely dominates the match, using Otis's temper against him as he keeps knocking him out of the ring early on, but after doing this 3 times, Otis snaps and charges Cole, running him over before throwing him around the ring a bit with a couple biels and suplexs, which leaves Cole reeling as he gets up in the corner, only to get charged and hit with a big splash! Cole goes down but Fish grabs the leg of Otis, only for Otis to kick his hand away. However the brief distraction lets Cole get a roll up pin, but it only gets 2. After this, Cole hits an enziguri and fully takes control from here, beating down Otis and after hitting him with a Superkick into a german suplex, he slides out of the ring and throws Tucker into the steps! Cole motions O'Reilly and Fish over, and they come running and begin attacking Otis, as Cole rolls back into the ring, but walks right into a small package pin from Otis, which gets a close 2 count! Otis now scoops up Cole, and hits a spinning scoop slam, then follows up with the Caterpillar! Otis covers and can he shock the pin? 1...2..but Cole kicks out! Otis now pulls Cole up and scoops him up for a slam, but O'Reilly jumps on the apron for a distraction! Otis lets go of Cole and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, potentially looking to dive onto UE, but suddenly Tucker Knight comes out of nowhere to cannon ball onto them! Tucker wipes out Fish and O'Reilly and Otis turns his attention back to the ring and goes for a big splash on Cole, but Cole rolls out of the way! Cole now goes for the Last Shot, it hits! Cole rolls the big man over into a pin and covers...but at the last second Tucker pulls the ref out of the ring, turn about is fair play! Cole leaves the ring and throws Tucker into the barricade, then drops him ribs first on it before sliding into the ring...but he gets rolled up by Otis! Cole is caught off guard and UE is still down, and that's enough for the big upset!

Winner via pinfall: Otis Dozovic

Aleister Black is in a dark room backstage and says later tonight he will be defending his championship against Cesaro, the new more aggressive, unchained Cesaro. He admits that Cesaro has had his number so far, beating him in his return match and eliminating him from the battle royal last week, but being the champion means more to him than anything and he's ready for the big fight tonight. He promises to make Cesaro fade to black tonight to end it.

Match #5:
Cedric Alexander vs EC3 w/ Drake Maverick

A complete squash here as EC3 decimates Cedric in about 2 minutes. He wins after hitting the One Percenter right into a pin. After the match Drake Maverick gets on the mic and says the rise of EC3 will not be stopped just because he didn't get into Money In The Bank. Last week was a hiccup, and Drake says if he was there that wouldn't have happened, but EC3 will not be stopped, he will be a champion very soon.

Cesaro is backstage and brags about being the first person to beat Aleister Black 2 weeks ago, and mentions how close he came to earning a spot in Money In The Bank. He says the people in that match should feel lucky he's not in it, because he would have broken them in half in route to getting the briefcase. He then focuses back on the IC Champ and says he's proved he has his number ever since becoming unchained. He says tonight he becomes champion.

Match #6:
The Masked Attackers vs Braun Strowman, Rey Mysterio, and Dean Ambrose

Before The Match: Braun and Rey are in the ring, and Ambrose's music hits, but it quickly cuts into static before a video pops up on the tron, showing the 3 masked men standing together over the fallen Dean Ambrose, face down on the cement floor backstage. They hold up a sign saying "PROOF" before throwing it down and walking away, and appearing at the top of the arena as they walk down the arena steps towards the ring for the match.

Match #6: 3 on 2 Handicap Match
Braun Strowman and Rey Mysterio vs The Masked Attackers

Mysterio and Red Mask start the match for their respective teams, but Red Mask yells for Rey to join them, help them destroy Strowman once and for all. Rey looks confused by this, and he's warned he doesn't want to be their enemy, as Red Mask holds out his hand for a handshake, and Strowman yells for Mysterio to do the right thing. Mysterio looks at Strowman, then looks back at Red Mask along with the two men on the apron, then decks Red in the face, dropping him! Rey quickly gains control of the match as he starts attacking Red, who's trying to fight back with no luck, but Green Mask comes in illegally and hits a running neckbreaker on Mysterio, which gives Red the opening to throw Mysterio in the corner for a double team attack with Blue. Mysterio gets isolated for awhile after this by the 3 men, who beat him down and keep him away from Braun, but eventually Braun gets a tag into the match and quickly begins clearing house, dropping Blue with a shoulder block then bringing Red and Green into the ring via a toss, only to clothesline both of them down! However this proves to be a mistake as Blue spears Mysterio off the apron and the numbers game quickly catches up to Braun as he stacks Red and Green up in the corner but is chop blocked by blue, and they triple team him for a minute until Rey recovers and clears the illegal men out of the ring! A couple minutes later after a tag, Green hits a cutter on Strowman into a pin, but it only gets 2. He goes for a second one, but he gets shoved off, then lifted up and dropped with a Running Powerbomb! Braun lifts Green back up for a Running Powerslam, but he slides down his back and takes out his leg! Red and Mysterio make tags into the match and they begin fighting, but it quickly spills to the floor and Rey is quickly triple teamed, only for Braun to sprint over and wipe out all 3 masked men! Braun whips Red into the barricade, then lifts him up, and drives him through it! The numbers have been evened as Rey slides into the ring to break the count, but he goes up to the top turnbuckle, and Blue catches him with a Superplex to the floor!

In the end, chaos is ensuing with everyone in the ring after Rey hits a splash off the shoulders of Strowman onto Blue, only for Red and Green to enter the ring and attack Rey and Braun, with them forcing him to roll out of the ring after a double team move, but Strowman clears out the 2 illegal men by throwing them out of the ring! Braun turns around into a kick in the gut from Blue, who then tries to hit him with a Piledriver, but Braun backdrops him! Braun now lifts up Blue off the mat and onto his shoulders, and drops him with a Running Powerslam! He covers for a pin as Rey takes down Green, and he gets the 3 just before Red can break it up!

Winners via pinfall: Braun Strowman and Rey Mysterio

A video package plays after the match showing what's happened in recent weeks with Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan that's led to their match at Money In The Bank becoming more heated and a bit personal.

Match #7: Intercontinental Championship Match
Cesaro vs Aleister Black (c)

Cesaro instantly takes down Black with a flying uppercut then waits for him to get up before doing it again. Black gets up again and Cesaro goes for another flying uppercut, but he went to the well one too many times as Black dodges it and hits a couple kicks on Cesaro then goes for a german suplex, but he's blocked and Cesaro hits one of his own before following up with a standing double stomp to the chest and a running uppercut to a seated champion into a pin, but it only gets 1. Cesaro gets vicious now as he uses his power to beat down Black, and throw him around the ring before dropping him with a Very European Uppercut, but he doesn't cover and instead locks the champ into a Tombstone Stretch, however it's too close to the ropes and it causes a rope break, forcing Cesaro to release the hold. Black fights back now with a jawbreaker followed by a bicycle knee strike into a Black Mass, but he doesn't cover and instead sits cross legged next to Cesaro, waiting for him to get up, and when he does, Black hits his comeback followed by a diving double stomp! He still doesn't cover though, feeling like he needs to do more damage and he goes back up top for a second diving double stomp, but the challenger gets out of the way and rolls him up for a pin, but only gets 2. Cesaro now throws the champ out of the ring and takes the fight into the crowd, hitting a double sledge as he dives off a crate! He tries to pick up the champ to follow up, but Aleister shoves him off and throws him into a wall and heads back to ringside, and both men manage to beat the count at the 8 count.

As they get in the ring, Black goes for a kick to Cesaro, but it's blocked and Cesaro rolls him up for a pin for 2, then goes for another roll up but again only gets 2. Cesaro now hits a springboard uppercut to lay out the champ, then hits a dominator for another 2 count. He now gets angry and glares at the ref, who assures him it was only 2, but the challenger isn't satisfied, and drops the ref with a kick to the face! He rolls out of the ring now and grabs a chair from ringside, but when he gets into the ring and tries to use it, Black shoves it back into his face then snaps off a german suplex! Black throws the chair out of the ring and backs into the corner, he goes for another Bicycle Knee, but Cesaro sidesteps and hits a Piledriver out of nowhere! He covers but the ref is only just getting to his feet! Cesaro yells for the ref to get up, and he does, but the delay to the count is enough for the champ to kick out at 2! Cesaro is getting really desperate now as he quickly goes to the top turnbuckle and looks for a splash, but Black blocks it and hits Black Mass, but that only gets 2! Black goes for another Black Mass, looking to finally finish off the challenger...but no it's countered and Cesaro hits another Dominator! Cesaro pulls the champ back up and drops him with a second Piledriver! Cesaro crawls over into a pin, and it's enough to win the title!
