Madison Rayne shows up to start tonight's show. She says her return to Impact has been the most exciting one thus far, and this time, her intention was only to provide a voice on commentary for the Knockouts Division. However, things change quickly in the wrestling business, and it was not long before she was back in the ring. Since she has stepped back into the ring, she created moments by defeating Tessa Blanchard and Taya Valkyrie, and at Slammiversary XVI, she has an opportunity to make another one by beating Su Yung to become a six-time Knockouts champion. Last week, Su Yung got into her head, and says that she should be afraid of Su Yung after what she did to Allie and Rosemary. However, she got to thinking, and she told her daughter not to be afraid of monster and that there is nothing under the bed or inside the closet to be afraid of. She also asks what kind of inspiration she would be to run away from a monster, and tells Su Yung that she is not getting the stay-at-home mom at Slammiversary; instead, she is getting the five-time Knockouts champion. Suddenly, Tessa Blanchard shows up, and says Madison has to be kidding her. She says that she has been waiting for the punchline in the back, and tells her that it is no longer 2011 and that she is the best around here and not Madison. Blanchard then brags about her third-generation credentials before Madison tells here there is no joke or punchline and that everyone knows who Blanchard is, and that Blanchard has forgotten that she beat her at Under Pressure. Blanchard says that was a fluke, but Madison says that if Blanchard needs a reminder of who she is, she has no problem giving her one. Suddenly, Su Yung's laughter fills the arena, and when the laughter is over, Blanchard knocks Madison out with a cheap shot.

He says that Moose's wrestling career will end in failure like his football career. He also says he will tell his story next week, and that his story will end in victory and triumph, not tragedy. Aries then says when he looks in a desperate man's eyes, he knows that desperate men are dangerous.

Lashley tells Roman not to downplay his background, as he has the legit tools to beat Lesnar and he will prove it against however many guys Angle wants to put him up against, including Roman. Angle tells Lashley and Roman there will be no multi-man match, as there was a snag in the contract and Lesnar pulled out of the deal, meaning that the match is off the table.

She also says that for as long as she has known Nia, she somehow paints herself as the victim and the hero in her own story. She also says that Nia Jax thought WrestleMania was the end of the story, and that Backlash was the sequel. Alexa then says this is real life and not the movies, and in real life, she is the hero, not Nia. Alexa says she has beaten every obstacle in her way, including Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey. The crowd chants "You suck!," and Alexa and Mickie say that the crowd is "so rude." Suddenly, Natalya shows up. From the stage, Natalya says the countdown is on, and in 23 days, Ronda will come back to deal with Alexa. Alexa says she is surprised Natalya and Ronda can count backwards from 30, and that Natalya left the Total Divas vacation in Lake Tahoe to confront her.

The crowd starts cheering for Todd as Mojo trashes him for being part of the conga line before telling him it will be the closest he will ever get to being a Superstar.

In San Diego, California, Nikki and John Cena, now officially back together, consider changing their wedding date to May 5th (5/5) to match their five years being together as well as June 9 (6/9) for obvious reasons.

At John Cena and Nikki's house in Tampa, Florida, Brie and Nikki talk about the wedding with John being back on with Nikki happy to be the mother of John's child. Nikki is still trying to process the information, and she is coming up with ideas for the wedding. Kathy shows up, and is ecstatic to find out that John will give Nikki a child.

Kathy is brought up as a potential candidate, but a slighted Kathy says she is okay with whoever Nikki chooses for that.

As the Bella family have dinner at a restaurant, Kathy apologizes for earlier during the wedding, and Brie realizes that she accidentally offended her mother by not having her walk her down the aisle and picking her father over her.

Brie and Nikki talk with Nana about the wedding, and Nikki feels confused about who to have walk her down the aisle. Brie wants Nikki to have Kathy walk her down the aisle, but Nikki wants to do her wedding on her own terms, and doesn't want the wedding to be what everyone but her wants.

Nikki, Johnny, Kathy, Lauren and J.J. go to the beach. Nikki asks Johnny for advice as far as who to have walk her down the aisle goes. Johnny tells Nikki that her wedding is all about her and that people will understand why she chose who she chose, and says he would be honored to walk her down the aisle as well.

Brie and Bryan have a date at The Blissful Goat, which focuses on light "goat yoga." Brie and Bryan go into a cage with the instructor, and the two of them do yoga with goats nearby. As hilarious as the situation is, Brie and Bryan do not exactly consider it romantic.

Joh Cena and Nikki meet with Lauren and J.J. This is the first time John Cena has been with Brie and Nikki's family since they called off the wedding.

Brie and Bryan go to the botanical gardens. They are reminded of the times that they were really able to connect. Brie and Bryan ask the cameras to go away in the meantime.

After the match, Madison says it always exciting to come back home to Impact Wrestling, and admits that this has been quite a return as she did not intend to be an in-ring competitor. However, everything happens for a reason, and reasons are meant to be capitalized upon, and in the last couple of weeks, she has been creating career moments by beating some of the toughest women she has ever stepped into an Impact ring with. She then says that management has promised her that if she could defeat Taya, they would give her one more opportunity to make a moment for herself. She says she will take that moment not just for herself, but for her daughter at home as well as the fans who have supported her over the years. At Slammiversary XVI, she will beat Su Yung and become a six-time Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion.

We find out that the mystery attacker is known as Killer Kross (who has also been known as Kevin Kross). Kross says that fear is a funny thing, as it is meant for the art of survival. Somewhere in society, however, fear became something to be embarrassed about, and that there is a difference between being courageous and being intelligent. Kross says he has a body of work to show, and that the big question that everyone is asking was "Why?" He says that the answer is simply "Why not?" and that there is no continuity in the universe; only mayhem. He encourages everyone to exercise a little fear within the circumstance, as he wants to turn the wrestling industry upside down and divebomb it on its head to see where the pieces fall, for he is the new beginning.

She then goes on to say she beat Asuka all by herself, even though James Ellsworth helped out, then Asuka shows up. Asuka, however, is really James Ellsworth, who winks at Carmella and says nobody was ready for Ellsworth, especially Asuka. Ellsworth says that he is back in the WWE and back to serve "the greatest woman in history" in Carmella. He proceeds to put Carmella on a pedestal above the rest of the women in WWE's history as well as other female celebrities. All of a sudden, the real Asuka shows up, and Asuka kicks Ellsworth in the gut before Carmella answers with a superkick to Asuka's face. Carmella then escapes along with Ellsworth.



Before the next match, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) make fun of the fans before mocking Becky Lynch, saying she is a loser after Money In The Bank, that she will never amount to anything and she is better off as Charlotte Flair's "troll of a sidekick." Billie Kay tells Becky Lynch to keep living in the past, for her present is abysmal and the future is IIconic.

Becky Lynch beats Billie Kay after reversing an inside cradle into a Dis-Arm-Her.



We hear from Jeff Hardy, who talks about "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' victory at Money In The Bank. He says that AJ Styles is able to move on from Shinsuke Nakamura, but he is not able to do so after being hit with a Kinshasa last week. He says that Nakamura's actions, instead of unsettling him, have sharpened his focus. He then turns around and reveals he is wearing facepaint and color contacts, and tells Nakamura he sees him.



Backstage, we hear from SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain), who are finally debuting in the next match. Eric Young says chaos has arrived before the three of them approach the ring.

Renee Young interviews Daniel Bryan, who will be the first man in the five-man Gauntlet Match. Daniel says he will not survive; he will win, as he has proven that size doesn't matter. Daniel Bryan considers Rusev, Big E and Samoa Joe three of the best Superstars on SmackDown Live, and says that Greatest Royal Rumble is a testament to his endurance, which he says will bring him to the WWE Championship. Daniel then takes the microphone and asks Renee Young if she thinks he is prepared. After saying that he is adequately prepared, Daniel asks again, and this time, she says "yes." Daniel then "yes"-es as he leaves.

Before the next match, The Usos says that every tag team in SmackDown Live is trying to prove themselves, and says that to make a name, you have to be show heart, be good and have a couple of screws loose. They then call out SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain), who go on the warpath, ending the match before it can even happen.



Backstage, Luke Anderson shows off his abs, while The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) simply stare at the camera.

Renee Young interviews "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura, who asks how he lost when he is standing in front of Renee and says AJ Styles won because the referee counted too fast and not in Japanese. As for Jeff Hardy, his eyes may be open, but if he crosses him again, he will close them.



The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). After the match, Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring for the five-man Gauntlet Match, but is stopped and surrounded by The Bludgeon Brothers. Daniel Bryan then steps aside and heads to the ring.



Rusev beats Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, Big E and The Miz in a five-man Gauntlet Match to become the #1 contender to the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules with an Accolade to The Miz. After Daniel Bryan eliminated Samoa Joe by count-out after using the barricade to get over Joe, The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) double-team Daniel Bryan, allowing The Miz to pick the bones with a Skull Crushing Finale to eliminate Daniel Bryan. After the match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up and lays the WWE Championship between himself and Rusev. Styles and Rusev then shake hands, then Aiden English asks for a handshake. He pulls his hand back and gets slapped by Styles for it.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 18, 2018

General Manager Kurt Angle is in the ring with a table in the ring with the Raw Women's Championship and the women's Money In The Bank Contract on it. He introduces Alexa Bliss, who shows up. Alexa is handed the Raw Women's title, and she holds it up. Angle announces that although Nia Jax is doing physical therapy, she is exercising her rematch clause at Extreme Rules. Alexa, wanting to focus on last night, thanks the fans for the opportunity to rub it in all their faces, as she showed what it was like to beat up bullies in Nia Jax and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and shocked the world when she cashed in and won. She says that from now on, there will be no talk about "The Irresistible Force;" instead, it is all about her. Suddenly, Ronda Rousey shows up. Angle stops her from getting close to Alexa as the crowd chants "Let them fight!" Alexa says she thought Ronda would also be doing physical therapy, then asks if she is here to learn a lesson after last night. Alexa admits that Ronda was seconds away from making Nia Jax to an arm bar, then gloats about the fact that she took that victory away from her and says Ronda is out here because she can't stand the fact that the headlines weren't about her. She then goes on to call Ronda "irrelevant" and tells her to go back to the line after calling her an "overhyped rookie." Ronda then sidesteps Angle and charges at Alexa, and goes for the ground and pound. Angle tries to stop her, but gets thrown to the mat before Ronda attacks Alexa and hits her with the briefcase on the table. Angle tries to stop her again, but also gets whacked with the briefcase. Referees have to run in and tell Ronda to stop, but she starts attacking them, too, and the referees run away as quickly as they show up. Ronda then slams Alexa through the table in the ring.



Backstage, General Manager Kurt Angle tells "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey she is suspended for 30 days and that she may have ruined her chances at a championship. He then tells her to pack up her things and go.

Backstage, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey almost ignores Renee Young, but tells her to save her good luck wishes for Alexa Bliss, as she will be kicking her "pink-haired ass" when she comes back.



Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins says there is a nice energy in the ring and a buzz in the locker room, and says he should keep it going. He says Elias took him to his limit last night and he loved every minute, but he still stands as WWE Intercontinental Champion. He says that he is a fighting champion and he is here every Monday night, and he proceeds to throw out an open challenge to anybody in the back for the title. That challenge is answered by Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Ziggler ends up being the one entering the ring.

Dolph Ziggler beats Seth Rollins to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the sixth time after a series of roll-up reversals and a grabbing of the tights following Rollins going after Drew McIntyre on the apron. After the match, Rollins confronts Ziggler only to be attacked from behind by McIntyre before he and Ziggler hit the Zig Zag-Claymore combination.



Backstage, Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler, who says that "Monday Night Rollins" is officially cancelled and there will be no reboot coming as this is his and Drew McIntyre's show now.

Ziggler says there is a difference between them and everyone else, as when they say something, they mean it.



Bobby Roode quickly beats Curt Hawkins.

We see a video package of Braun Strowman's Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match win.

Braun Strowman shows up. Strowman says he has smashed tables and broken ladders, and he has flipped over an ambulance with his bare hands, won a giant trophy by tossing around grown like bean bags, and even played a cello. He then says that even after all that, winning the Money In The Bank contract is his greatest achievement, and now all Brock Lesnar has to do is show is face and he will cash in and become WWE Universal Champion, because Lesnar will get these hands. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up. Strowman says he is surprised to see Owens after tossing him off a twenty-foot ladder. Owens, nursing a hurt elbow, says he probably should not be out here, but is here to be the first to congratulate him. He then says that Strowman deserves the Money In The Bank contract, and that he knew he would win, which is why he tried to get everyone else in the match to neutralize him to no success. Owens then tells Strowman to be smart about his cash-in, and he wants to supply him with strategy. He tells Strowman that neither of them have anyone to depend on, and that his life changed when he won the contract. Owens proposes that they help each other, and asks Strowman to give him a title shot if he wins the title. He even says that they can start their partnership tonight. He then says that he just want to shake Strowman's hand. Strowman shakes it, but refuses to let go. He then tosses the microphone away, drags Owens towards him, and nearly hits him with a running powerslam. Owens manages to escape.



Backstage, Bayley meets with Sasha Banks. She tells Sasha that it will do her no good to sulk after last night, and that she is ready to take the fight to The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) with Sasha.

Before the next match, Jinder Mahal says that as human beings, we should be open to change, and last night, he felt the winds of change. Even though Roman Reigns won last night, he won the battle of self-improvement. Jinder then says the fans are bitter like Roman Reigns, but he has found tranquility. He says that he is committed to change, unlike Chad Gable, who he says is living his former glory as an amateur wrestler.

General Manager Kurt Angle is in the ring. Before he can announce who Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship against next, Roman Reigns shows up. Roman tells Angle his answer is standing in front of him, as he had Lesnar beat at Greatest Royal Rumble and he is the uncrowned Universal Champion. He also says a full-time champion would help Angle run Raw better. Angle says he appreciates Roman's confidence. All of a sudden, Bobby Lashley shows up. Lashley tells Roman Reigns he has watched Roman beat his head against the wall for three years, and that he does not have what it takes to finish the job. He tells Roman to let someone who can beat Brock do it, and says he can beat both Lesnar and Roman. Angle says both men are deserving, and says that the next person to face Lesnar will be the winner of a multi-man match at a latter date. After he says that Lashley and Roman are in the match, The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) show up. The Revival ask whatever happened to earning things the old-fashioned way, as they have been working for opportunities on Raw only for guys like Roman and Lashley to get in the way. They say this ends tonight. They challenge Roman and Lashley, knowing full well they are about to tear each other apart, to a tag team match against them right now. They bank on the fact that they can't get along so they can get the win. Roman mocks The Revival, then says that he will take them school and that Lashley will learn something if they pay attention.
