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

We go into the WWE ThunderDome to hear Randy Orton’s music. RK-Bro, consisting of Randy Orton and Riddle, make their way to the ring.

Before the match begins, Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos come out to the stage. Styles thanks everyone for coming out. WWE will be back on the road next month. They’ll be defending their titles live and in person against the very best WWE has to offer. These are the tag teams they want, like the 11-time Tag Team Champions the New Day. Styles says they are national treasures. They can have the same match they had at WrestleMania.

Styles continues to talk about the tag teams. Styles says Lince Dorado is alone tonight because Gran Metalik got injured. The Viking Raiders are all about getting paid. Then we have RK-Bro. The sky is the limit for Riddle, while Randy Orton is an all-time legend. Omos says they are magnificent, stupendous, handsome, and phenomenal.

Kofi Kingston says Style and Omos are detestable and booty. They’re not a registered tag team. Styles says that’s “totally cap.” They have the Tag Titles. Styles tells Kingston not to interrupt him while he’s being nice. Orton says if he’s trying to be nice, he can shut his damn mouth. Riddle says all you have to do is close your mouth, turn the key, and toss it away. Riddle talks about the RK-Bro merchandise and starts telling a story about his uncle and snakes. Orton lowers Riddle’s microphone and has him zip his lips. Orton takes the imaginary key and puts it in his boot. Riddle puts his head down. Styles asks if anyone else wants to interrupt him.

The Miz’ music hits, and he is wheeled out to the stage by John Morrison. Miz says he’s sorry to interrupt. Morrison says Miz has nothing to be sorry for since he’s so brave. Miz says the tag division is dry. Morrison says that’s why he has his patent-pending Drip Stick to moisten things up. Morrison is entering the Battle Royal. Morrison starts doing his entrance and the slo-mo starts as he lets Miz’ wheelchair go. Miz rolls down the ramp and is terrified in slo-mo.

Orton and Riddle hit the New Day with RKOs. Lince Dorado is then dropped with an RKO. The Tag Team Battle Royal is next.

-Commercial Break-

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and MVP are in the VIP Suite with the women. Later tonight, Lashley will have a contract signing with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship match at Hell in a Cell.

Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos are on commentary.

Tag Team Battle Royal
Randy Orton and Riddle vs. The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. T-Bar and Mace vs. Lince Dorado vs. John Morrison

The bell rings, and everyone starts attacking each other. Morrison nearly eliminates Dorado, but he stays in. Dorado gets Morrison on the apron and dropkicks him, but Morrison hangs on by his feet. Morrison rakes the eyes and knocks Dorado over the top rope to eliminate the Lucha House Party.

Morrison goes face-to-face with T-Bar and Mace. Morrison sprays the Drip Stick near them, so they eliminate him. The Viking Raiders go after T-Bar and Mace, but they’re wiped out. T-Bar and Mace then take out Riddle and Orton before giving the New Day chokeslams. The tag teams soon gang up on them and eliminate T-Bar and Mace.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see the Viking Raiders making a run. Riddle is eliminated, but RK-Bro is still alive because Orton is still in. Erik and Ivar take it to the New Day and eliminate Woods. They crush Kingston with a dropkick before Erik slams Ivar into Kingston’s head. Orton comes back and sends Ivar into the ring post before hitting Erik with a snap powerslam. Ivar takes Orton down and slams him. Erik goes to scoop slam Ivar onto Orton, but Kingston double stomps Ivar down onto Erik! Kingston gets fired up and goes for Trouble in Paradise on Orton, but Riddle intercepts it! Kingston is then eliminated to eliminate the New Day totally.

The Viking Raiders go after Orton… and they get the elimination! The Viking Raiders are the #1 Contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championship.

Winners: The Viking Raiders

Footage is shown of Nikki Cross “defeating” Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair in back-to-back 2-Minute Beat the Clock Challenges.

WWE Officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville are talking when Charlotte Flair walks up. Flair says she was publicly forced into that match last week and wants it stricken from her record. Pearce and Deville both disagree. Flair wants a rematch against Nikki Cross. Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley walks up and says she actually respects Cross. If anyone deserves a rematch, it’s her. Pearce and Deville say Flair and Ripley will team up tonight to take on Nikki Cross and a partner of her choosing. Flair says she’ll be professional, unlike her partner.

-Commercial Break-

Footage is shown of the Viking Raiders winning the Tag Team Battle Royal.

The Viking Raiders are chopping each other saying they’re ready for the raid. Ivar says the turkey legs are on him. Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos walk up to them. Omos is eating a turkey leg. Styles says the Viking Raiders aren’t into electricity or deodorant apparently. Erik says the way they live honors their viking tradition. Omos takes a big bite of the turkey leg.

Video Package: Alexa Bliss was changed by the darkness

Shayna Baszler will be a guest on Alexa’s Playground later tonight.

“Ladies and gentlemen… Elias.”

Elias is in the ring and strums a chord on his guitar. Elias greets the WWE ThunderDome. There will be no other introduction tonight. You could’ve been out here walking with the brand new Tag Team Champions, but Jaxson Ryker got in the way. If Ryker did what Elias said, they’d be celebrating with the Tag Team Championship. Instead, Ryker became completely unhinged. For the sake of his career, he had to get away.

Footage is shown of Elias leaving Ryker high and dry to the hands of Omos last week on Raw.

Elias talks about seeing the ghosts of war in Ryker’s eyes, but he didn’t see a man that would go to battle for him. Elias walked out on him, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s an unwavering universal truth that everyone knows in their hearts that WWE stands for Walk With Elias. Before he walks all over that maniac…

Jaxson Ryker attacks Elias from behind. Ryker has a crew cut that makes him look like a beefier and tattooed Zack Ryder. Ryker throws Elias’ guitar out of the ring and punches away at him. Referees run down to pull Ryker off.

-Commercial Break-

WWE SummerSlam will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this August.

Elias vs. Jaxson Ryker

The bell rings, and Ryker viciously attacks Elias. Elias reverses a whip, but Ryker kicks him before giving him a clothesline over the top rope. Ryker blocks a punch and punches away at Elias. Elias quickly bounces Ryker off the steel steps and gets in the ring. Ryker gets in the ring before being counted out. Elias clotheslines Ryker down. Elias connects with a spinebuster for a near fall. Elias punches away at Ryker (Ryker takes a bump before one of the punches is delivered). Elias hits an inverted atomic drop and lift shim up. Ryker pulls the beard and hits a Bobby Lashley one-armed spinebuster. Elias runs away and gets counted out.

Winner by Count-Out: Jaxson Ryker

Ryker screams at Elias and a HUGE gloop of snot and saliva comes out of his mouth, gets stuck on his beard, and after what seemed like a thousand years, dripped off to the mat. The camera stayed on it the whole time.

Video Package: Drew McIntyre defeats Kofi Kingston last week on WWE Raw to earn a WWE Championship match

Drew McIntyre makes his entrance. We’ll have a Hell in a Cell contract signing, next.

-Commercial Break-

WWE Championship contract signing

The ring has a table with some chairs set up in it. Drew McIntyre is sitting in one of the chairs. WWE Officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville are there as well. McIntyre says as we await WWE Champion Bobby Lashley with his external charisma and everyone on the Lashley train, he wants to tells a story. McIntyre tells the story of Robert the Bruce and ultimately succeeding. McIntyre will also succeed and get his WWE Championship back at Hell in a Cell. McIntyre wants to make this official.

MVP cuts McIntyre off and apologizes for being fashionably late. They make their entrance. Lashley sits down in the chair. MVP says the All Mighty wants this to be McIntyre’s final chance at the WWE Championship. If McIntyre doesn’t win, he cannot challenge for the WWE Championship again. MVP continues to talk, but McIntyre cuts him off and says he accepts the terms. McIntyre then says he wants to have this match where no one can interfere. McIntyre wants a Hell in a Cell match, and MVP accepts for Lashley. McIntyre says he went through hell months ago and put it all on the line. McIntyre still feels his last Hell in a Cell match to this day and will do it all over again to beat Lashley.

They sign the contract, and MVP asks Pearce if it’ll be notarized. Pearce says it will be. Lashley says McIntyre cannot beat him. McIntyre says he’ll see him in hell. Lashley says he’ll beat him there as well. McIntyre takes the Claymore Sword and splits the table in half with one swing. Lashley is shocked.

Sarah Schreiber is backstage with Nikki Cross. Cross will team with Asuka to take on Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley later tonight.

WWE United States Champion Sheamus makes his way to the ring. He is wearing a face shield after having his nose obliterated by Humberto Carrillo last week on WWE Raw.

The New Day are talking backstage when MVP asks to talk to Kofi Kingston. Kingston tells Xavier Woods he can handle MVP. MVP says he was impressed with Kingston’s match last week. MVP says he may now represent the All Mighty WWE Champion, but a while ago he was a Kofi fan. MVP says he watched Kingston win the WWE Championship and cried tears of joy. Kingston was a champion he could relate to and be proud of. KofiMania was everything. Then it just ended. Did Kingston ever think about why that happened? MVP says he got comfortable. Last week, he saw glimpses of that Kingston that brought us KofiMania. Then he shook hands with Drew McIntyre, meaning he’s comfortable with losing. KofiMania ended because Kingston let it. Kingston tells him to watch his mouth. You don’t bring up his friends and family. They motivate him. What does Lashley fight for? Money? MVP says Lashley fights for honor and prestige before walking off. Kingston looks fired up.
