Samoa Joe suddenly interrupts the show before it can begin, saying he has been wrongly accused of the forklift incident involving Roman Reigns last week and demanding that footage of the incident be replayed. After the footage is replayed, Samoa Joe says that since everyone find it okay to ruin his name, then he will stop the show until he gets the apology he deserves. Suddenly, Becky Lynch shows up.
It is announced that Natalya vs. Becky Lynch for the WWE Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam is officially a submission match.

In footage from the OB/GYN from earlier today, Maria Kanellis wants Mike Kanellis to "show some testosterone" and protect her and the WWE 24/7 Championship. The doctor ends up being a referee, and Mike is the new WWE 24/7 Champion after Mike's hug ends up being a pinfall attempt. At the waiting room, Carmella and a disguised R-Truth are waiting for Mike, and after R-Truth tosses a baby doll at Mike, R-Truth pins Mike to win the WWE 24/7 Championship.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Becky Lynch, who says that despite the home field advantage that Natalya may have, Natalya will still tap to the Dis-Arm-Her. Meanwhile, Becky says she has gotten people to fall into line and take notice of her by winning, as she gave them no choice and that she was at work while Natalya was on reality television. Becky says she is the one thing that Nataya's career is missing, and that she will give Toronto, Ontario Canada a new hero. Meanwhile, Sarah Schreiber interviews Natalya, who says that Becky won't be able to make her tap with the Dis-Arm-Her as she puts her in the Sharpshooter to become the new Raw Women's Champion.
Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman asks if Seth Rollins was supposed to be "The Beast Slayer," "The Conqueror's Conqueror," "the architect of the arson that would burn down Suplex City," the hero of a new generation and "Seth Freakin' Rollins" before replaying what happened to Rollins last Monday. Afterwards, Heyman says he dropped to his knees last week and begged an unmerciful beast to show mercy to Rollins, because WWE needs a new hero, but says he just found out moments ago that Rollins is here tonight. He says he does not understand why people cheer for somebody who would go down in a blaze of glory against Lesnar, as it proves Rollins has "more balls than brains." Suddenly, Rollins shows up, limping to the ring with a steel chair. Rollins ambles up the steel steps as Heyman warns Rollins to back away, but Rollins goes after Lesnar, who kicks Rollins in the ribs before attacking him again. As Lesnar keeps attacking Rollins, it soon becomes apparent that Rollins' ribs are in bad shape, and Lesnar eventually hits Rollins with an F-5.
We see footage form during the break where Brock Lesnar runs back in to hit Seth Rollins with another F-5. Afterwards, Rollins grabs the microphone and says it's gotten to the point that he has asked himself if this is worth it. He says he has loved the WWE Universal Championship so much that he has wanted to keep it safe, even to the point that he has gotten beaten up week after week, and for him, the answer is yes. He says that this is all he is, as every second of every day, this is all he has ever wanted and it is all he has got. Rollins says he will be at SummerSlam, and guarantees he will beat Brock Lesnar. Rollins then tries to leave under his own power as he refuses to get on a stretcher.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Kurt Angle, who is suddenly met by Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). The two of them propose they all have some milk, but Angle says he promised his wife he wouldn't do anything too crazy. As they have a toast, Drew McIntyre is nearby. Drew McIntyre tells Kurt Angle to call his match with Cedric Alexander straight down the middle, and threatens to take his boot and crack his skull if he doesn't after reminding him that he beat him with his own ankle lock.
The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat two unnamed opponents. (On YouTube, the opponents are named Jay Alexander and Eric Abraham; the latter of whom is actually Idris Abraham.)

Backstage, Samoa Joe finds out that Roman Reigns is coming to the arena, then puts his plan to shut tonight's show down in action.
We look back on Braun Strowman vs. Kane from the January 29, 2018 episode of Raw, courtesy of Progressive.
Samoa Joe shows up. Joe calls out Roman Reigns, saying he is tired of waiting and that he wants Roman to apologize to him. When Roman does not show up, Joe throws a steel chair into the ring and sits on it, holding up the show until Roman apologizes to him in person. He then gives Roman until the count of three to show up, then says he has all night and that all Roman has to do is walk down the ramp unless he is scared to do so. After some waiting, Joe gets word from someone at ringside that Roman is here, and he heads to the back to look for Roman. Joe finds Roman's car in the parking lot, and as Roman gets out, he suddenly darts back into his car as a car tries to hit him.
In footage from during the commercial break, Samoa Joe checks on Roman Reigns and calls for a medic. Eventually, Triple H shows up and checks on Roman.

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guests are Dolph Ziggler - who will be signing a contract for his and The Miz's match at SummerSlam - and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels shows up first, followed by Ziggler, whom Miz calls a pariah. Ziggler says he would be a pariah than anything like Miz (who has no balls) or Shawn (who has no smile), and says Miz will need luck to beat him at SummerSlam, when he finally gets the adulation he deserves and becomes a living, breathing legend after he defeats Miz. Ziggler signs the contract, then The Miz tells Ziggler that it is all on him for not feeling appreciated or adulated, and says he cannot wait to get his hands on him at SummerSlam. He then says that there is some fine print in the contract, and instead of facing The Miz, Ziggler will have to face someone else. Shawn tells Ziggler it's not him, then Goldberg shows up. Ziggler retreats from the ring as Goldberg signs the contract, then Goldberg tells Ziggler he's next. The show ends with Shawn Michaels hitting Ziggler with a superkick.
Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
