It is time for Miz TV. Miz mentions his feud with Baron Corbin on Twitter, and how he talked about Maryse and their unborn son. He also says Baron Corbin says that when he is done with him, he will be calling him "daddy." Miz says this is the major leagues, and says he is the whole show while Baron Corbin is SmackDown Live's bathroom break. At Survivor Series, he will beat Baron Corbin so hard he will make the United States title relevant. At Survivor Series, he will beat Baron Corbin so hard he will make the US title relevant. He then introduces tonight's guest: General Manager Kurt Angle. Angle says Miz has his support in his match against Baron Corbin. Miz says he wishes he could say the same of him, but Angle reminds him he saw what he was capable of at TLC. Commissioner Stephanie McMahon confronting Angle from last week is then replayed, and Angle says that Raw's 25th anniversary is coming up, and they have the best wrestlers and the best fans. He says that SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon has a superiority complex, and says that SmackDown Live will be known as "the B-show." The SmackDown Live siege from two weeks ago is then replayed, as is Kane's attack on SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan, and Miz implies that Angle planned this attack on purpose. Miz says he would not be surprised is SmackDown Live was attacked again. Angle says he had nothing to do with this and that he has nothing but respect for Daniel. Miz finds this hard to believe, as he saw the Kurt Angle of old when this happened. Miz says that Angle tried to forcefully eliminate Daniel Bryan like he tried to eliminate The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel). Miz then says if anyone deserves an apology, it is Curtis Axel, not Daniel Bryan. Kurt Angle snaps at The Miz, telling him to put his hands down. Miz then asks if Angle has nothing to do with Kane's attack on Daniel Bryan, then why is Braun Strowman become part of Team Raw. He says that neither event is correlated with each other, then says Braun was a good negotiator as he also wanted a match against The Miz tonight. The Miz starts begging, but Angle isn't listening.
Before the next match, Elias is on the stool, and he feels naked because his guitar is on a pole. He says every guitar he touches is special to him, and last week, Jason Jordan broke one of them. Jason Jordan then teases singing "Wonderwall," but then says he has a original song that is better than anything Noel Gallagher ever wrote. He then goes on to talk - or rather, sing - crap about Manchester, England. This does not last long, as Jason Jordan's entrance interrupts him.

Backstage, Sheamus and Cesaro want General Manager Kurt Angle to make Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose prove their worth as champs. Sheamus says Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins were Angle's last line of defense in SmackDown Live's raid on Raw, and they failed. Angle wants Sheamus and Cesaro to be his first line of defense, and if they want a shot at the tag team titles, all they have to do is ask. Sheamus says he and Cesaro want the match against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) at Survivor Series. They get one last chance to represent Raw tonight.

Charly Caruso interviews Titus O'Neil and Apollo Crews. Titus Worldwide is about having fun, but what happened last week when Titus O'Neil checked on Apollo Crews was no fun at all. Titus O'Neil has requested a match with Samoa Joe, and as far as Samoa Joe goes, Samoa Joe is in trouble.
Before the next match, Samoa Joe attacks Titus O'Neil from behind, pushes Apollo Crews off the stage and almost immediately gets the Coaquina Clutch in. Joe then gets in the ring and takes a microphone. He says it does not matter who you are; if you are in his way, he will put you down. Joe then issues an open challenge to anyone who wants to prove him wrong, as he is not done yet. The challenge is answered by Finn Balor.
Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor ends in a double count-out. After the match, Finn and Joe still go at it, and referees have to restore order. Finn and Joe still go at it, however, and General Manager Kurt Angle has to show up with security to pull both men apart. Angle says the action between Finn and Joe is what he wants on his team, and announces they are both on Team Raw. After this, Finn heads towards the back, then turns around and hits a dive off the stage into Joe.
The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) is in the locker room. Bo Dallas tells The Miztourage that they can still win against Braun Strowman. Curtis Axel isn't so sure about their chances, but changes his mind after The Miz looks at him funny.
General Manager Kurt Angle leaves a message for SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan, apologizing for what happened last week. Jason Jordan shows up. Kurt Angle congratulates him on his work thus far, and makes him the final member of Team Raw, even though this action could be viewed as favoritism.
Mike Rome interviews Bayley and Sasha Banks. Bayley and Sasha Banks have not talked to Alicia Fox about joining Team Raw yet. Bayley says he led Team Raw to a victory last year, and says the only hugs given this year are consolation hugs for SmackDown Live when they lose. Sasha Banks says it makes no sense for her not to be on Team Raw, and says Alicia Fox needs to put them on the team. Bayley says nobody shines brighter on the stage better than she and Sasha.
Bayley and Sasha Banks beat Nia Jax and Alicia Fox with a Banks Statement to Alicia Fox. After the match, Alicia Fox says she wants Sasha on Team Raw. Bayley, on the other hand, is not chosen.
Braun Strowman vs. The Miz ends in a no-contest. During the match, Kane shows up as Strowman annihilates The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel). Kane and Strowman go at it, ending the match, and when Kane goes for the choke slam, Strowman powers out of it. Strowman hits Kane with a running powerslam, but Kane gets back up. He clotheslines him out of the ring, but Kane is still on his feet. The Miztourage attack Strowman from behind, but Strowman easily lays waste to them.
Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Dean says they plan to defend the titles every night, including tonight. Seth says they have eyes everywhere for enemies. In two weeks, they will prove to The Usos who the better tag champs are. As for Sheamus and Cesaro, they are the two uncoolest guys on the face of the planet and nobody wants them to win. Seth says that Sheamus and Cesaro say they are the bar, but his fist has always been the bar. Dean and Seth do the first bump, then Renee awkwardly does one after they leave.
Enzo Amore shows up. He says he's doing great, and says Manchester can't be grateful for him being here if they aren't great in the first place. Enzo says he is grateful for the fans, and says he has TMZ following him and the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. A kid then asked him what was next for him. He said "Kalisto at Survivor Series." He's beaten Kalisto once, and now he plans to defend against him successfully. He also says that he is the only person defending their title due to a conspiracy by General Manager Kurt Angle. Suddenly, Kalisto shows up. He sets up a steel chair and sits down just in tie for Kurt Angle to show up and introduce WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne, who is competing for the first time on Raw against Enzo Amore.
