“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

Vince McMahon’s music, and the WWE Chairman makes his way to the ring. McMahon welcomes everyone to Monday Night RAW, and he gets a big reception. McMahon says this will be a RAW no one will ever forget. Why? Because we’re starting out with Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

Roman Reigns’ music hits, and the Smackdown Live Superstar makes his way to the ring despite being told by WWE management that he’s not welcome on RAW. McMahon says he doesn’t know why Reigns is here, but if he gives him another Superman Punch, the Cincinnati Police will arrest him. Secondly, he’s a Smackdown Live Superstar. What is he doing on RAW? Reigns warns McMahon to watch his tone. Reigns admits he is on Smackdown, but he’s been on RAW a long time. Reigns always wanted to leave the place better than he found it. When he was on his leave of absence, he remembers McMahon and his spoiled kids tell the audience that they’re The Authority. That was a lie. Reigns says that’s over. He takes his orders from the WWE Universe. McMahon says Reigns thinks he’s just going to show up and the crowd will love it. Reigns says if the crowd makes a ton of noise, he’ll do it every week. McMahon says there would be anarchy if that happened.

Daniel Bryan’s music hits, and the former WWE Champion makes his way to the ring for the first time since WrestleMania! McMahon says this is a bad dream. Bryan is assigned to Smackdown. Bryan says ever since the travesty that occurred at WrestleMania where he was robbed by Kofi Kingston, he has spent the last month in solitude. A “Kofi” chant picks up. Bryan has been searching for answers that only thought leaders like he and McMahon can understand. When he heard that Reigns was showing up on RAW, he figured he and McMahon could have an intellectual conversation.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston makes his way to the ring to a huge ovation. McMahon looks disgusted. Kingston greets the crowd. The roster shakeup was a big deal, but if Bryan had a problem with the way things went down at WrestleMania, he can just forget the McMahons. Bryan can file a complaint with him since he’s the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Bryan says Kingston is an undeserving champion who never should have received a title shot. Kingston’s win was a fluke. The last 11 years of Kingston’s career was so hard because he never should have been here in the first place. Kingston says yet here he is with the title around his waist.

https://twitter.com/tde_wrestling/status/1125553462874447872

McMahon cuts them off and says he had an epiphany. What if they have a wild card rule? What if he allowed three members of Smackdown to come to RAW on a given occasion? What if he had RAW superstars come to Smackdown on a given occasion? He’s a genius! Kingston says however McMahon wants to spin it, that’s fine. Kingston says he saw Reigns’ tweet and figured he’d just show up to RAW as well. Why should Reigns have all the fun? Bryan says there is nothing about RAW that is fun. Bryan is not here for fun. Bryan is here for a rematch for his WWE Championship. The crowd loudly boos him.

Drew McIntyre’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring. McIntyre says if McMahon can’t get this situation under control and no one else in the back has a set, it’s up to him. This is not “Smackdown presents RAW.” McIntyre says he cares more about that egomaniac Reigns than they do. Reigns thinks he can do whatever he wants. McIntyre claims Reigns got himself drafted to Smackdown to duck him. Reigns thinks he can punch his boss. McIntyre is going to Claymore his ass back to Earth. Reigns says it didn’t work out at WrestleMania, so he can try now.

McMahon says they can have a two WrestleMania rematches tonight with the second one being for the WWE Championship. McMahon shouts that he’s brilliant again before leaving the ring.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring. We’ll see him, next.

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1125554822676017152

-Commercial Break-

AJ Styles is in the ring with Mr. McMahon. Styles asks what he’s doing. He gets drafted over to RAW and now Smackdown superstars are coming over? McMahon says it’s Wild Card Rules now. Styles says he was on Smackdown for years making it the “house that AJ Styles built.” Now Seth Rollins’ pal Roman Reigns is allowed on the show? Maybe tomorrow, he’ll go with some friends to Smackdown.

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. McMahon tells Rollins to take it easy. Rollins says Styles showed his true colors by sucker punching him. Rollins says Smackdown with it’s 1,000 episodes wasn’t built by Styles. The show was fine before and after Styles. This is Rollins’ show now. This is Monday Night Rollins. McMahon says it’s actually his show. Styles says he knows exactly where he is and exactly what he did last week. Styles tried to shake Rollins’ hand last week, and Rollins threw the title in his face. Then Styles tried to walk away and Rollins kept talking. If you’re not going to treat him like a man, then he’s a man who can kick your ass. Styles didn’t just put him through the table. It was with a Phenomenal Forearm. Not much will change at Money in the Bank except that Styles will be the new WWE Universal Champion.

McMahon says it’s obvious they want to compete tonight, so how about it? They prepare to fight, but McMahon stops them. McMahon says they’re going to team. Rollins says he doesn’t want to, but McMahon tells him that he will. McMahon says this will be a brilliant night. Their opponents will be coming out right now.

Winner by Pinfall: Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans thanks everyone for coming to a classy event, but a proper RSVP was expected. The reason she has these four nasties out here is simple. They all deserved a front row seat to see what a legitimate lady is capable of. At Money in the Bank, Becky Two Belts will lose everything courtesy of a Woman’s Right. She’s aware one of them may win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. She hopes they’re smarter than they look.
