The show kicks off with a tremendous video talking about the importance of Memorial Day for the United States of America. We go into the arena to hear a “USA” chant.

Braun Strowman kicks off Monday Night RAW

Braun Strowman’s music hits, and he comes out to a big reception from the Richmond crowd. Two Money in the Bank briefcases are shown hanging over the ring. Tonight we’ll see the birthday boy Seth Rollins take on Jinder Mahal with the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line. We’ll also see a Last Chance Money in the Bank Qualifying Gauntlet Match with Sasha Banks, Sara Logan, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Mickie James, Bayley, and Dana Brooke all competing for another shot.

A “Get These Hands” chant fires up. Strowman looks up at the briefcases hanging above the ring. The crowd is loving him right now. Strowman says when he sees the briefcase, he gets motivated because he knows inside is a contract that guarantees him a Universal Title opportunity at any time in any arena in the entire world. Strowman pauses and another “Get These Hands” chant fires up. At Money in the Bank, he will destroy seven other men, climb to the top of the ladder, and take the briefcase and contract. Then he will not only be known as Mr. Money in the Bank, he’ll be known as Mr. Monster in the Bank. Who is gonna stop him? Not The Miz, not Bobby Roode, and after last week not Finn Balor. Not a single member of The New Day nor Rusev nor Kevin Owens. He’s taking that Money in the Bank briefcase and is cashing in the contract so Brock Lesnar can get these hands!

Finn Balor’s music hits, and he comes out to a decent reception. Balor says Strowman is getting ahead of himself because he’s the very first Universal Champion. Balor never lost the title, a fact that eats away at him every day. Balor is determined to get back to the top. Balor will climb one of the ladders and take back what is his. Balor gets in the ring and says they went one-on-one. Balor gave him everything he had. At Money in the Bank, there will be six other competitors in the ring with them, making it every man for himself. Strowman says Balor put up a really good fight for a little guy. Balor slaps him in the face, so Strowman powers him to the corner and throws him across the ring! Kurt Angle’s music hits, and the RAW General Manager comes out smiling and leading a “You suck” chant. Angle says he sees intensity out here, one of his favorite “I’s.” The Money in the Bank match will feature four superstars from RAW and four from Smackdown. The winner will face the champion of the respective brand. Balor gave everything he had last week, and it was a great match. Angle asks if Richmond wants to see that match again right now. They do. A referee runs down.

Elias is in the ring, and he greets the crowd. Elias has one question for everyone here: Who wants to walk with Elias? Tonight’s song is very special to him. It’s one of the ones where he just picks up the guitar and all the words just came to him. It’ll require total concentration. Even though they’re in the South, he’s hoping they can catch up. Elias starts playing, but he stops. Normally the lighting is good, but the crowd in Richmond is particularly disgusting. Elias wants the lights brought in more, so they are. Elias then starts playing again, but soon stops. Elias wants the vocals brought up. More Elias, less crowd. Elias is pleased with the results and says he’s doing everyone’s jobs. Elias says he’s a Renaissance Man, not that anyone in Richmond knows what that is. Elias plays again, but he stops and wants complete silence. They loudly boo him. Elias tells them to shut their mouths. If they think he’s messing around, he’ll sit here all night until he can hear a pin drop. Elias just sits there.

The unknown wrestler applies an arm bar, but Jax gets to her feet and lifts her with one arm before slamming her. Jax says the arm bar doesn’t mean much to her.

Sami Zayn issues a public apology

Sami Zayn comes out and says last week didn’t go as he hoped. Zayn went too far and WWE management has been gracious enough to let him give a formal, public apology. To the WWE Universe and the Lashley family, he conducted an interview with Lashley’s sisters that was described on social media as brutal and cringey. Zayn says he lied to the fans. Those were not Bobby Lashley’s real sisters. In fact… they were men that he hired just to have a little fun at Bobby Lashley’s expense. His goal was to entertain and not provoke. To the Lashley family, WWE management, and the WWE Universe… he is… sorry. It should be noted that everything he said was true. Like all good art, his expose on Bobby Lashley was rooted in reality. Zayn is such a brilliant artist that he doesn’t think the people of Richmond would get it. Zayn is exposing Lashley as a bully, yet he is catching flak. The people should feel sorry for Zayn and apologize to him because he deserves better. Zayn deserves to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Zayn should not have to issue an apology in front of a repulsive crowd like the one in Richmond, Virginia.

Bobby Lashley’s music hits, and he comes out to almost no reaction. Lashley high fives some fans and is smiling. Lashley says Memorial Day is a special day for families like his. For anyone that has family members that served in the military, he salutes and thanks them. A “USA” chant picks up.

Lashley challenges him to a match at Money in the Bank, a challenge that is met with barely any reaction. Lashley wants him to back up the trash talk. Zayn eventually shakes his hand and accepts the challenge. Zayn says he’ll Helluva Kick the stupid smile off his face. Lashley doesn’t let go of the handshake. Lashley then squeezes Zayn’s hand. Lashley has an apology of his own: he apologizes for everything he’ll do to Zayn at Money in the Bank. Lashley then releases the handshake.

Mickie James says she’ll be walking into Money in the Bank after winning tonight.

Curtis Axel says since they’re undefeated, they want their blessing to face Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy for the RAW Tag Team Championships. Titus O’Neil asks if they really brought them out to this bootleg BBQ to skip to the front of the line. Heath Slater says in West Virginia this would be like Thanksgiving. Slater says even though this is a great spread, they will not be cutting any lines to get to the RAW Tag Team Titles. Axel confirms that they don’t have the blessing of the tag teams and takes their food back. O’Neil pours baked beans over Bo Dallas’ head. Breezango then puts potato salad on Axel’s head.
