After the match, Charlotte Flair lays out Asuka, then Alexa Bliss and Lilly are seen laughing.

Backstage, Matt Riddle meets with The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and announces that he and Randy Orton will be an officially registered tag team. The three of them then talk about Elias hitting Randy Orton with an tomato, then Randy Orton shows up.

Backstage, MVP meets with Braun Strowman, and tells him that Drew McIntyre beat him last week, not Bobby Lashley, and that Lashley has called Strowman the strongest person he has ever fought and could have beat him had it not been for McIntyre. He says that if Lashley had to lose the WWE Championship, he would rather lose it to Strowman, as McIntyre has already had his opportunity, and says that if McIntyre were too injured to wrestle on Sunday, it would just be the two of them.

Adam Pearce meets with Damian Priest, The Miz and John Morrison. Priest states that if Morrison can beat him tonight, Morrison gets to pick the stipulation for Priest's match with Miz on Sunday, but if he wins, he gets to choose. Morrison accepts, much to Miz's chagrin.

We hear from Jinder Mahal, who says that nothing smells better than fresh competition and that he is glad to be back on Raw. He then announces that he has returned with Veer and Shanky, and that he will be reminding people of why he was once WWE Champion. (Veer and Shanky are - respectively - former Indus Sher member Rinku Singh and Dilsher Shanky, one of the competitors from Superstar Spectacle earlier this year.)

Styles then hands Omos a tomato, then Omos squashes it after saying "This will be our opponents."

Ripley thinks this is Charlotte Flair's idea, while Asuka says she has no problem competing again tonight. Ripley tells Asuka she will beat her like she did at WrestleMania, then says Charlotte Flair can have all the good idea she wants, as they will not save her this Sunday.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews MVP and Bobby Lashley. MVP says Lashley has nothing to prove, as he has proven himself the better man once and tonight will be no different. Lashley says that he has beaten Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman before, and after having beaten Strowman last week, he will beat McIntyre again. On the subject of meeting with MVP, he says that he does not comment on ongoing business negotiations.Lashley says that he has beaten Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman before, and after having beaten Strowman last week, he will beat McIntyre again. On the subject of MVP meeting with Strowman, he says that he does not comment on ongoing business negotiations. MVP then tells Kevin Patrick to leave.

Before the next match, Sheamus says that Mansoor and Humberto Carrillo tried to take advantage of him last week only to get Brogue Kicked, then asks why he would want to walk into the footsteps of "has-beens" when he can make his own legacy. He says that previous champions would give even Adnan Virk - who he says is "out of his depth" on commentary - a shot at the championship, and says that potential opponents have to earn their shot. He says that guys like Mansoor and Carrillo are not on his level, and that Carrillo will take him on again only to become "meme of the week" when he gets another Brogue Kick.

Sheamus beats Humberto Carrillo by referee stoppage after Sheamus lands on Humberto's left knee as Humberto hits him with a Sunset Bomb to the outside.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Drew McIntyre, who says he had no involvement in getting involved last week until Braun Strowman put his hands on him. As for MVP's business proposition, he will deal with it if it happens, but tonight, he will beat Bobby Lashley. After that, he will become WWE Champion on Sunday.

She says that life is not picture-perfect and that it takes 99 bad pictures to get one good one.

Backstage, Damian Priest tells Adam Pearce that he wants a lumberjack match against The Miz this Sunday so that The Miz has nowhere to run. Pearce tells Priest he can consider it done.

Drew McIntyre beats Bobby Lashley by disqualification after Braun Strowman gets in the ring and attacks Strowman before hitting him with a running powerslam. After the match, McIntyre helps Lashley up, and when Lashley hugs him, McIntyre hits Lashley with a running powerslam. He then grabs McIntyre and hits him with the running powerslam again. Strowman then leaves the ring, grabs MVP's cane when MVP confronts him, tosses it away and puts Lashley through the barricade with another running powerslam in front of MVP before returning to the ring and hitting McIntyre with yet another running powerslam. As he does this, he tells McIntyre that his loyalty lies with no one.
