Seth Rollins shows up to start tonight's show. Rollins says he has done and seen a lot in the last seven years, but he has never felt the way that he felt last week when the living embodiment of a nightmare came close to his face when he had no fight left in him. He kept hoping it was not a bad dream, but it was not, and in two weeks, he now has to defend the WWE Universal Championship against The Fiend. As he states that he knows what Hell In A Cell does, facing Bray Wyatt in the structure is a completely different story. As for what he can do, he has to survive and prevail like he always has even when nobody gave him a chance. Suddenly, Braun Strowman - one of the Superstars Rollins stated he has survived and prevailed against - shows up. Strowman tells Rollins that if he has something to say to him, he had better say it to his face, as he does not pretend to be Mr. Rodgers while playing with puppets, and says that he meets his opponents head on and suggest Rollins do the same. As for statements from Rollins concerning a WWE Universal Championship rematch, Rollins tells Strowman he has misconstrued his comments, and that it makes him want to fight him tonight. Strowman asks if this is a challenge, to which Rollins replies that it is.
The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). During the match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles gets caught by the referee trying to get involved in the match and gets ejected. On his way to the back, Cedric Alexander attacks him and chases him to the back.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Robert Roode, who says he will come out on top in tonight's Fatal 5-Way Match due to his recent success at Clash Of Champions.
Michael Cole interviews Becky Lynch. Becky says she wants Sasha Banks better than ever, and boasts that that when he left SmackDown Live, she rebuilt Raw to what it is now. She says she cannot make history by herself, and that is why she wants Sasha in a Hell In A Cell Match. She says the match is not to keep Bayley out, but to keep Sasha in, and in order for Sasha to escape, she has to go through her. She says that Sasha Banks has her chance to take the WWE Raw Women's Championship from her at Hell In A Cell, and advises that she take it.
Rusev beats EC3 with the Accolade.
We hear from Rey Mysterio, who says that he almost retired from the business while he suffered some serious doubt. However, he is still here, and next week, he is facing Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship. He then dedicates his match tonight to his son Dominic.

At the Firefly Fun House, Bray Wyatt is hanging pictures of The Fiend's victims when Huskus The Pig Boy and Ramblin' Rabbit fight over a Seth Rollins action figure. Both of them admit that they have become Seth Rollins fans and want to share the action figure. Bray Wyatt talks about the negative aspects of being too attached to something, such as disappointment, neglect and loneliness. Ramblin' Rabbit then says they do not want The Fiend to hurt Seth Rollins, but Bray Wyatt proposes that maybe The Fiend wants to protect Seth Rollins. He then breaks the Seth Rollins action figure in half.
R-Truth and Carmella run to the ring, and other Superstars run towards the ring. Carmella stops everyone, then grabs a microphone, saying she and R-Truth cannot take the running anymore. R-Truth says they will get out of this one, but Carmella says she cannot let her guard down for one second and she cannot do this anymore. R-Truth hugs her, then Carmella pins R-Truth to win the WWE 24/7 Championship. R-Truth celebrates with Carmella, but then female Superstars show up. R-Truth has to carry Carmella through the crowd as the female Superstars give chase. The male Superstars still at the ring are confused.

We hear from The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), who states that they exposed the locker room as a bunch of soft, wannabe tought guys last week, then state that they will show exactly who they are. They leave the room and attack people back, then the show cuts to black before showing The Authors of Pain back in the room. They state that no one is hard enough to fight them, and that their beatdown from earlier shows why nobody wants to mess with them.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Ricochet before the next match. Ricochet says there comes an opportunity in everyone's life to soar and defy the odds, and tonight is his. He says that a win from him tonight will prove that superheroes can be real and that his time has come.

Braun Strowman vs. Seth Rollins ends with the lights going out as Strowman goes for a running powerslam. The Fiend then appears in the ring with the Mandible Claw on Strowman, and as he is about to target Rollins, Strowman gets back up only to be sent into unconsciousness with the Mandible Claw again.
