WWE Raw Results:

Strowman beat up Reigns and tossed him into the side of the ambulance.

— Goldust delivered another backstage promo, and then made his Goldust Classic return, accompanied by his own gold-suited cameraperson. A match between Goldust and R-Truth never began, as Goldust jumped Truth before the bell and delivered a beatdown while his cameraman filmed the whole thing.
— The Miz hosted an episode of MizTV with his guests, LaVar, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball. It ended with LaVar taking his shirt off and Dean Ambrose getting involved.
2. The Miz, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel defeated Rhyno, Heath Slater and Dean Ambrose. Bo Dallas was able to roll up Rhyno and get the pin while Dean Ambrose and The Miz were chasing each other outside the ring.
— Enzo Amore had an in-ring confrontation with Big Cass. He said he refuses to let the bond be broken before they have a chance to become tag team champions. Cass said he is ashamed of what he did last week, and that Enzo is his brother, and that he’s sorry. He extended his hand, and Enzo shook it, then they embraced. Cass delivered his catchphrase, and they left the ring together. They posed on the stage, and then Cass attacked Enzo again, clotheslining him and then press-slamming him down the ramp. After the break, Cass warned Corey Graves to stay out of his business.
3. Seth Rollins defeated Curt Hawkins. Rollins won with the Kingslayer. After the match, Bray Wyatt appeared on the screen to taunt Rollins.
— Paul Heyman came to the ring and ran down Samoa Joe, saying Joe should be smarter, and that now is the time to start fearing Brock Lesnar. He then introduced Lesnar and said Lesnar would be calling Joe out to the ring for a fight. Lesnar entered, but Joe jumped him from behind and locked in the Coquina Clutch. Brock tried to break free, but Joe kept the Clutch locked in until The Revival and some others ran in from the back to pull him off.
