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

Footage is shown from last night’s Great Balls of Fire event. Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns in an Ambulance Match. Immediately after, Reigns attacked Strowman, stuffed him into the back of the ambulance, and backed it full speed into a tractor trailer. The jaws of life had to be used to get Strowman out. Strowman was bleeding heavily, but walked off on his own power.

The RAW video plays, and we go into the arena. JoJo introduces Big Cass to the ring.

Big Cass addresses defeating Enzo Amore

Big Cass enters the ring, and the crowd loudly boos him. Big Cass waits a moment before asking, “How you doin’?” Cass says he’s doing spectacular today after what he did to Enzo last night. Cass has some still photos shown of him beating down Enzo last night in their match. It ended with him standing over Enzo, but the best part wasn’t seen on PPV. It happened after Enzo got to the back. A WWE.com exclusive video is shown of Enzo being helped to the trainer’s room. A loud “asshole” chant fires up. Cass says that should serve as notice to everyone in the RAW locker room from the bottom of the totem pole to the top, and he means the very top. That’s what happens when you mess with Big Cass. To all the people that never supported him and only chanted for Enzo, they can’t support him now. They know what he’s capable of because he’s the future of WWE. To all the doubters back there from NXT to those behind the curtain, one day he will be the Universal Champion. The crowd loudly boos that. When he wins it, he’ll hold it high and shove it down their throats. He will be the champion, main event WrestleMania, be on the Tonight Show, and have his face on posters representing WWE to the fullest. Nobody can touch him or is on his level. No one can look him eye to eye.

Big Show’s music hits, and he comes out to a nice reception. Big Show and Big Cass stand in the middle of the ring staring at each other. Cass steps up to him, so Big Show head-butts him back. They start brawling. Cass tries to take him down, but Big Show hooks him in a front facelock. Cass escapes, but Big Show kicks him in the ribs and knees away at him. Finally, Cass escapes the ring and retreats up the ramp.

We’ll have an update on Braun Strowman later tonight. We’ll also see Brock Lesnar. Coming up next, Finn Bálor will take on Elias Samson.

-Commercial Break-

Elias Samson is in the ring with his guitar. Samson greets the crowd and asks who wants to walk with Elias. Not many people, apparently. Samson needs Houston to keep their cell phones down and hold their applause until after he is finished. This song is for Finn Bálor. Bálor isn’t a savior — he’s just a man. Tonight, he’ll knock him off his pedestal. No one is the same after him. Houston, we have a problem. Bálor’s music interrupts the song.

Elias Samson vs. Finn Bálor

They lock up, and Samson quickly scoop slams him down. Samson talks a little trash about Bálor trying to upstage him. Bálor rolls out of a slam and applies a side headlock. Samson tries to whip him off, but Bálor keeps it hooked on. Samson finally whips him off and elbows him in the face. Bálor reverses a whip and rolls through a sunset flip to dropkick him.

-Commercial Break-

The Hardy Boyz came up a little short in the 30-minute Iron Man Match last night against Sheamus and Cesaro.

Jeff Hardy says they came up short, but the Tag Team Champions better not think they’re obsolete. Matt Hardy says they’re here to make a proclamation. They are nowhere near done. They’re going to make magic within the WWE Universe.

Anderson and Gallows interrupt them. Luke Gallows says other tag teams didn’t say they were done — it was them. They seem proud of their performance last night, but they’re not The Hardy Boyz of old. They’re just old Hardy Boyz. Gallows calls them nerds. They can practice magic somewhere else because they’re magic killers. Matt says neither of them are 100%. They’re stitched up, bruised, and somewhat BROKEN, but if they think the ring belongs to them, they can determine that in a match.

The Hardy Boyz vs. Anderson and Gallows

Matt Hardy locks up with Karl Anderson. Anderson backs him to the corner, but Matt punches out. Matt applies a side headlock, but Anderson whips him off. Matt shoulder blocks him down. Jeff Hardy tags in, and he kicks Anderson. They send him to the corner and hit a double back suplex. Gallows runs in, but they kick him, send him to the corner, and hit Poetry in Motion. The Hardy Boyz stand tall.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Gallows clothesline Jeff down. During the commercial, Anderson and Gallows double-teamed Jeff. They catch him with the Boot of Doom, but Matt breaks it up. Anderson gets Jeff to his feet, but Jeff comes back with a sit-out jawbreaker.

Matt is tagged in, and he forearms away at Anderson while a “DELETE” chant fires up. Matt bounces him off the top, middle, and bottom turnbuckles.

Coming up next, we’ll have The Miz giving out “The Mizzies.”

-Commercial Break-

The Miz hands out “The Mizzies”

The Miz and Maryse welcome the crowd to Miz TV and “The Mizzies.” It’s more prestigious than the Oscars since they snubbed “The Marine 5.” This is how they’ll tell the winners and losers from last night’s Great Balls of Fire event. Best Supporting Actor is a tie: Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. The crowd chants, “You deserve it.” Bo Dallas thanks The Miz for this because nothing is possible without him. Miz changed his life. Axel says Miz has done so much for him. He feels like a million bucks, but because of The Miz, he’ll make a million bucks. Miz says they were underutilized, but now they’re award winning superstars.

Behind every great man is a beautiful, gorgeous, sexy woman. The next Mizzie for Best Actress is Maryse. Maryse fakes emotion as she accepts the award. She says she wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without him. The Miz proclaims his love for her, and they embrace. Now it’s time for the moment everyone has been waiting for — The final Mizzie Award. Miz opens the envelope and reads, “Dean Ambrose.” Miz then says he was just kidding. He’s the greatest man and the winner. Miz says he made the belt prestigious again. When everyone else speaks, like Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins, it’s just noise. When Miz speaks, what he says will happen happens. Dean Ambrose is the toughest man in WWE. If he’s the toughest man in WWE and Miz beat him, what does that make him?

Dean Ambrose’s music hits, and he storms down to the ring. Ambrose tackles Miz, but Dallas and Axel quickly pull him off. Miz stands back and lets Ambrose get double-teamed. Seth Rollins runs down and helps out Ambrose. Rollins hits Dallas with a table and knocks him over the top rope with the table. Rollins and Ambrose stand tall while Miz and his entourage back up the ramp.

Later tonight, we’ll see Seth Rollins take on Bray Wyatt in a rematch from last night. We’ll also have an update on Braun Strowman. Brock Lesnar will also appear before the crowd. Coming up next, Bayley and Sasha Banks team up.

-Commercial Break-

Seth Rollins is walking backstage when Dean Ambrose comes up to him. Rollins says he wasn’t going to let The Miz talk about him like that. Ambrose says he doesn’t trust him and there won’t be a Shield reunion. Rollins can fight his own battles, and he’ll fight his. Ambrose walks off on him. Rollins looks surprised.

Jax tries to attack Banks outside the ring, but she moves. Bayley then rolls up Bliss for the win.

Winners by Pinfall: Sasha Banks and Bayley

Later tonight, we’ll get an update on Braun Strowman.

-Commercial Break-

Goldust is backstage quoting movies again. R-Truth wasn’t made for the spotlight. Even though R-Truth tried to end his premiere, he’s still the biggest thing this summer. Goldust will give his audience what it wants: an encore performance. Normally the encore isn’t as good as the original, but he’s not normal. It’s time for The Shattered Truth: Part II. The Golden Age is back.

A video recaps what happened last night between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Reigns lost the Ambulance Match, but he got the last word in by stuffing Strowman into the ambulance and backing it into a tractor trailer. Strowman left the ambulance bleeding, but walking.

Kurt Angle will give us a definitive update on Strowman later tonight.

Brock Lesnar is out live, next.

-Commercial Break-

Kurt angle congratulates Brock Lesnar

Kurt Angle’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring while the crowd chants, “You suck.” Great Balls of Fire was a hugely successful event. Things did get a little out of hand, particularly with the Ambulance Match. Braun Strowman refused medical treatment. Angle isn’t sure when he’ll return. The show must go on. Angle then introduces the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar to the ring.

Brock Lesnar comes out to a nice reception with his advocate, Paul Heyman. Still photos are shown from the titanic clash between Lesnar and Samoa Joe last night. Angle says 14 years ago at WrestleMania, Lesnar defeated him for the WWE Championship and took a few years off his career with that match. Lesnar gets better and better every year. Angle thought Joe would take him out, but he was wrong. Angle congratulates him on retaining the title, and they shake hands. Paul Heyman asks if he has anything else to say. Angle says he figured he’d tell them his ideas for opponents at SummerSlam. Heyman says they aren’t prepared to brainstorm a creative meeting for SummerSlam in public. Lesnar and Heyman go to walk off when Roman Reigns’ music hits. Lesnar stands in the ring and waits for him.

Angle says Reigns has a lot of nerve coming out after what he pulled last night. Reigns says he’s standing in the ring with Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, and the father of hardcore, Paul Heyman. Is Angle kidding him? They were all apart of the Attitude Era. They destroyed everything. Angle says that was then and this is now. Reigns says Angle can thank him because Angle didn’t know how to handle Strowman, and Lesnar is never around to. Lesnar gets in his face, but Angle stands between them. Reigns did Angle a favor, so he can do him one: Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Heyman says he likes that, but Lesnar grabs the microphone out of his hand. Lesnar asks if he’s kidding because he doesn’t deserve shit. This is as close as he’ll get to the title. Lesnar says, “You don’t deserve it, my man.”

Samoa Joe’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring. Joe says we’re all living in a wonderful fantasy land. Joe says it’s time for him to drag everyone back to reality. Lesnar says, “The reality is I kicked your ass last night.” Joe says sooner than later, he’s putting his ass to sleep. The crowd is really buzzing for this. If Lesnar is really honest with himself, he didn’t beat him: Lesnar escaped him. As for Reigns, he’s never beat him. Heyman says in his opinion, Reigns beating The Undertaker is a title opportunity. The excommunicated Samoan will never get a shot again. Joe is done. Joe says that’s Lesnar’s advocate. Lesnar wildly gets in his face. Joe says Heyman is protecting him. Joe says Heyman knows he has his number. Reigns says Joe didn’t prove that last night. Joe says Reigns is mouthy for a man that got beat down by Strowman. Reigns tells Joe to compare him to Strowman, if you can find him. Angle says they all had grueling matches last night. Next week, Reigns will face Joe with the winner facing Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. If they go to blows tonight, he’ll cancel the match. Angle tells them to look forward to SummerSlam. Lesnar just stands back observing this.

The commentators are talking when Corey Graves abruptly gets up and walks off.

Seth Rollins will face Bray Wyatt later tonight.

-Commercial Break-

Kurt Angle is backstage looking flustered. Corey Graves walks in. Angle says he can’t let this text get out, but he may have to go public. Angle might lose his family and career over this. When he goes public with this next week, he could be saying goodbye at the same time. Graves says he’s beloved by so many and respected. Graves thinks everything will be just fine.

Coming up next, we’ll see Seth Rollins take on Bray Wyatt.

-Commercial Break-

Footage is shown of Seth Rollins helping Dean Ambrose earlier tonight.

Charly Caruso is backstage with Seth Rollins. Rollins has a black eye from last night. Rollins says he was out there to shut The Miz up, not help Dean Ambrose. Secondly, Bray Wyatt has to know better than to think one shot to his eye and a cheap win is enough to stop him. Rollins will expose him as just a guy that can’t hang with Seth Freakin’ Rollins.

Bray Wyatt is shown elsewhere backstage. The finest pieces of Rollins are apart of him now. You can’t change who you are. You can’t turn back the clocks. How dare Rollins take his eyes off him and defy him. Wyatt is everywhere and everything. Rollins will never deny him again. For his sins, he will burn. Wyatt says, “Seth Rollins, I’m here.”

Bray Wyatt makes his entrance. This match is next.

-Commercial Break-
