WWE Raw Results:
— The show opened with Bray Wyatt entering the ring, promising to exact revenge against each one of his Fatal Five-Way opponents from last night, starting with Roman Reigns. Reigns interrupted him and punched him in the face, leading to…
1. Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt. After a lengthy match, Reigns defeated Wyatt after hitting a spear.
— Backstage, Charly Caruso interviewed Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Amore said he had no idea who has been beating him up. Cass said it was insulting that people thought it was him, and that he would be watching Amore’s back at all times to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
— Alexa Bliss pitched another This Is Your Life segment to Kurt Angle dedicated to herself. Angle said last week’s This Is Your Life segment was one of the worst segments in the history of Raw, and then told her she would defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Nia Jax later in the show.
— In the ring, Elias Samson played a song about how much he didn’t like Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Dean Ambrose came down and beat Samson up, then demanded an Intercontinental Championship rematch with the Miz. The Miz appeared onscreen and told Ambrose there would be no rematch tonight, right before Samson hit Ambrose with a swinging neckbreaker. Following this, Ambrose was told by Kurt Angle to leave the building and take the night off.
— Samoa Joe came to the ring to discuss his victory at Extreme Rules last night and his upcoming WWE Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar at Great Balls Of Fire. He was interrupted by Paul Heyman, who said that Lesnar doesn’t fear Joe, and referred to him as the worst-case scenario for Lesnar’s potential opponents, because he knows Joe will take a piece of Lesnar with him. Joe, disappointed Lesnar didn’t show up himself, put Heyman in the Coquina Clutch until he passed out.
— Backstage, Kurt Angle confronted Samoa Joe, who threatened him. Seth Rollins stepped in and challenged him to a match later in the show.
2. Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno. Sheamus pinned Slater following a Brogue Kick. After the match, Sheamus and Cesaro ran down the Hardy Boyz.
— Backstage, TJP confronted Neville and demanded his Cruiserweight title shot. Neville said if he beat Mustafa Ali, he would talk to Kurt Angle to arrange it.

— Goldust cut another promo about how he doesn’t like R-Truth anymore.
— Backstage, Alexa Bliss tried to convince Sasha Banks, Dana Brooke and Mickie James to unite with her to defeat Nia Jax. They all declined.
— Kurt Angle pulled Corey Graves out of the broadcast booth to show him more mysterious texts. Backstage, he was asked what the texts were about and said it was a private matter before leaving the building. Dean Ambrose then snuck back in. The Revival were also spotted in the background.
4. Kalisto defeated Titus O’Neil. O’Neil tried for a handful of tights but was countered by Kalisto who grabbed a handful of tights of his own.
— Big Cass was jumped backstage. When Enzo Amore found him, Cass said nothing but handed him a metal chain necklace, presumably taken off the attacker.
— The Miz and Maryse threw an Intercontinental Championship celebration in the ring complete with champagne, balloons and someone in a bear costume holding a ‘CONGRATULATIONS’ sign. Miz beat up the bear, assuming it was Dean Ambrose, but it was just some guy. Then a giant box was wheeled down to ringside. Miz beat up the box, assuming it was Dean Ambrose, but it turned out to be a grandfather clock gifted to him from Maryse. Then Dean Ambrose entered the ring dressed like a cameraman and beat Miz up. Ambrose chugged a bottle of champagne and left.
