RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Orton talks about how MVP and Bobby Lashley failed to take the Raw tag team titles away from them due to Lashley's greed, then says they will see who in the tag team division deserves to be next in line to lose to them. Riddle proposes getting animal masks like Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado), sick jackets like Mansoor and Mustafa Ali's, going on a raid like The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) or having The New Day's (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) pancakes when Bobby Lashley and MVP show up. MVP tells Riddle to shut up, saying the fans lose IQ points when they hear Riddle rant before telling him to worry about Lashley ripping Orton's head off for last week's "cowardly" RKO. Lashley then says he looks to finish what they started and putting Orton down like the coward that he is tonight. Orton says it has been a long time since they last faced each other one-on-one, and accepts as long as it is for the WWE Championship. MVP whispers in Lashley's ear, then says that last week, Orton hit the RKO out of nowhere, but when Lashley repays the favor, it will be in front of him and it will be at Extreme Rules. Lashley also says he and MVP will get into the Tag Team Turmoil Match tonight as well and become a double champion, then The New Day show up. Kofi says he and Woods will be kicking off the Tag Team Turmoil Match right now, and Woods says he and Kofi will defy the odds tonight just like when he beat Lashley to become the Raw Tag Team Champions.

That gets the match started with a brief brawl. Charlotte then tells Nia that she can kiss her ass, and when she tries to leave with the Raw Women's Championship, Baszler stands in her way, then Nia pulls her back into the ring.
