Tonight's RAW is currently being taped in London, England. The show will be airing tonight at its usual time in the United States on tape delay.
- RAW opened with an in-ring segment between The Miz and Dean Ambrose. Kurt Angle is away and Ambrose said he was the acting GM. Miz said that Stephanie made him the acting GM. Braun Strowman (the guy who suffered a "torn rotator cuff") came out and wanted Roman Reigns and then Brock Lesnar. Kalisto came out and challenged Strowman to a match. Strowman said he could beat Kalisto with one arm tied behind his back and the match was made. Ambrose also announced Miz vs. Finn Balor.
- The Miz vs. Finn Balor. Maryse got on the apron and accidentally got knocked off by Balor. Miz got on the mic and said as acting GM, he instructed the referee to DQ Balor. Ambrose came out and said the match was being restarted. Ambrose had Maryse banned from ringside. Balor hit the double foot stomp and picked up the victory.
- Backstage, Nia Jax told Alexa Bliss that she wants the next shot at the Women's Title. Alexa said she would talk to Angle when Angle returns. Nia said for now, Alexa has a new best friend.
- Alexa Bliss with Nia Jax vs. Mickie James with Bayley. The crowd sang the "Hey Bayley!" song. Nia tried to get involved but Bayley went after Nia. Due to the distraction, Alexa was able to pick up the win. Bayley chased off Alexa to the back. Nia took out Mickie with a splash into the corner and a big elbow.
- Backstage, Ambrose and Miz argued with each other. Ambrose revealed that he put together most of the show for tonight. Miz said he made a special Miz TV with a member of One Direction. Ambrose said it was cancelled. Miz made Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt for later.
- Backstage, Samoa Joe cut a promo and said he is not done with Seth Rollins. Rollins attacked Joe and referees had to break them apart.
- Braun Strowman vs. Kalisto. Strowman had his left arm in a sling. Strowman got on the mic and said Ambrose can shove it. Strowman said he is injured and won't do the match. Strowman then hit Kalisto with a big boot and the match started. It was quickly interrupted when Roman Reigns, with his upper body taped up, came out to thunderous boos. The two had a staredown. Reigns went after Strowman's bad arm and then hit several superman punches to knock Strowman down. Strowman recovered and kicked Reigns in the bad shoulder. Reigns used a steel chair on Strowman's bad arm. Strowman retreated through the crowd as the crowd booed heavily.
- It was announced that Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins will take place on tonight's show.
- Tag Team turmoil took place. It kicked off with Enzo and Cass vs. Shesaro. The crowd sang the "Oh, Enzo Amore!" song and then the Sheamus and Cesaro song. Enzo tapped out to Cesaro's sharpshooter. Beauty and the Manbeast were out next and the two teams brawled outside the ring. The crowd chanted "he's got kids!" Cesaro attacked Slater's crotch and the crowded chanted "no more kids!" Sheamus pinned Slater with the brogue kick without Rhyno ever getting in the match. Anderson and Gallows came out next. Sheamus pinned Gallows with Goldust and R-Truth being the final team. R-Truth got the hot tag and got a nearfall on Cesaro. Cesaro recovered and got the win with a rollup. Shesaro went after R-Truth/Goldust after the match. The Hardys came down and Shesaro took off.
- Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe. Joe went after Rollins' bad knee. Joe got several nearfalls on Rollins. Rollins recovered and got several nearfalls on Joe. Rollins got knocked into the turnbuckle that had come off earlier in the match by accident. Joe threw Rollins into the exposed turnbuckle and got DQ'd. Joe continued to attack Rollins after the match.
- Jack Gallagher vs. TJP. Neville was on commentary. According to a fan in the building, a lot of people were heading to the bathroom/concession area before the match started. TJP picked up the win by using the tights. TJP kept attacking Gallagher after the match. Austin Aries, wearing a leg brace, came out to make the save and TJP took off.
- Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox. Sasha won with the double knees off the top. It appeared that Fox had her shoulder up but Sasha was still declared the winner. The crowd appeared to be distracted by something during the match.
- Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt. The Miz was on commentary. It was announced that Ambrose will face Miz for the IC Title on next week's show. Miz came down to the ringside area. Miz grabbed the IC Title and Ambrose went after Miz. Miz used the IC Title on Ambrose when the referee wasn't looking. Wyatt won with Sister Abigail. Miz announced Wyatt as the winner and attacked Ambrose. Miz said he will be wearing the IC title around his waist after next week and everyone will be saying "AWESOME!"
I believe that's the end of the show.
