The Bloodline make their way to the ring to start tonight's show. Roman Reigns says that he likes to move forward and does not dwell in the past, but he cannot get past last Friday for some reason. He says that the loudest in the room is also the weakest in the room, and if the weakest is in The Bloodline, that makes them a fool. Roman asks Jey if he a fool, then says that they have done this a few times before. Sami Zayn interrupts to remind Roman that he made Jey his problem, asks Roman to let him handle the situation. Roman gives Sami the go-ahead, then Sami tells Jey that he and Roman were just talking about the future of The Bloodline and that everyone is concerned about Jey's behavior. Sami then asks how anyone can not like Jimmy Uso or Solo Sikoa, then says everyone is "cool" and asks Jey to be "cool." Jey asks Roman if he is ribbing him, but before Sami can go into more detail, Matt Riddle shows up. Riddle talks about how he beat Seth Rollins in the Fight Pit Match last weekend, then demands another match for the WWE Universal Championship despite not being able to face him for the title again after losing to him. Roman asks the fans if Riddle should get one more chance tonight, then decides against it, saying a deal is a deal. Riddle says that if Roman won't step up, then maybe a member of The Bloodline will. Jey tells Sami to take him on, and Sami - thinking this a good idea - asks Riddle if he thinks this is funny. This leads to Sami telling Riddle he never wants to hear him say "yeet," yet Riddle says "yeet," anyway. Sami then challenges Riddle to a match when Jey tells Sami that Riddle is low key disrespecting him, to which Riddle replies "I accept...yeet."
Johnny Gargano beats Austin Theory.
Uli Latukefu from Young Rock is seen in the crowd before the next match.
Rey Mysterio beats Chad Gable with the 619 after sending Otis into the ring post on the outside. During the match, Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio show up. After the match, Dominik Mysterio approaches Rey. Rey tries to walk away but soon runs into Rhea Ripley. Dominik dares Rey to hit him, but Rey refuses and Dominik slaps him. Rey rushes at Dominik, but takes out Damina Priest on the other side of the ring instead, then fends off Finn Balor only for Dominik to clothesline Rey when Rey goes for the 619. Dominik then dares Rey to hit him again. Rey cries as he once against refuses, and Dominik attacks him from behind when he walks away. Rhea Ripley then holds Rey down so Dominik can hit him with a 619.
We see footage from during the break where Rey Mysterio is seen crying.
The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio) are in the ring. Rhea Ripley says they run things on Monday night, and Damian Priest says that everyone falls to them while The Judgment Day continues to rise before bragging about how Finn Balor handled business last weekend. Finn Balor says that he ended the party when it comes to Edge's miracle return, as he made Edge say that he quit because he is "too legit to quit" before we see footage of what happened at Extreme Rules. Rhea Ripley then calls Beth Phoenix a joke and says that what she did to her is just a fraction of what she is capable of, and Dominik says that watching Rhea Ripley in action "did it for him" and did it for all of the fans. He also takes pride in seeing the devastated look in Rey Mysterio's face that night, and says that Rey deserves to feel helpless and worthless as he has made him feel his entire life. Finn Balor then addresses "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, saying he hopes that Styles has reconsidered as he is just about out of mercy. As he calls Styles out, Styles shows up. Styles says he is not here to argue with Finn and tells him that he is right, as everything he ever needed was standing right in front of him. He says he has been alone for far too long and that there comes a time when a man needs friends. Styles says that in his case, he needs family, then asks if he is not his brother's keeper. Styles kneels down in front of Finn Balor, who takes Styles' hand and hugs him. Finn Balor says he knew Balor would come around, then Styles says "That's not who I meant." The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows - now Luke Gallows again - and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) show up for the first time since WrestleMania 36 and stand with Styles. Gallows smacks Dominik in the mouth, which starts a brawl. The Judgment Day are forced to retreat, and Styles tackles Balor over the announce table as The Good Brothers clean house. Gallows, Anderson and Styles then chase Finn Balor out of the ring and out to the ramp, then stand tall in the ring.
Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky). Dakota Kai says that Bayley was the only person to extend a hand when she was at rock bottom, then says that she will do anything for Damage CTRL and that the rest of the women's division has no idea what she and Iyo Sky have in store for them. She says that she and Iyo Sky will do so much damage that Bayley will be holding the gold that she deserves, then Iyo Sky says Bayley will kick Candice LeRae's ass.
Backstage, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns are met by Jey Uso as they are about to party. Roman tells Jey to stay in the arena with Sami Zayn and make sure that Sami wins tonight.
Candice LeRae beats Bayley after countering the Rose Plant with an inside cradle-like move. After the match, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai attack Candice LeRae from behind, then Bianca Belair runs in only to be ganged up on. Bayley hits Candice LeRae with a running knee, then elbow drops Bianca Belair into the Raw Women's Championship as Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai hold Bianca down.
The Miz meets Maryse backstage. Maryse gifts Miz with a wooden baseball bat. (In the background, someone passes by with a QR code on their sweatshirt; it leads to this.)
Maryse introduces The Miz as part of The Miz's birthday celebration. The first gift that The Miz gets is two giant red balls to go with his "giant, massive bat," then treis to open another gift box only to find Dexter Lumis underneath. The Miz sees Lumis, then puts the box back on top of him and swings the bat only to miss. Dexter Lumis then sneaks up on The Miz and locks in Silence, and Maryse gets knocked into The Miz's birthday cake before Miz is able to run away, leaving Maryse in the ring alone with Lumis. Maryse rolls out of the ring and runs away, then Dexter Lumis takes the knife meant for the bitday cake and pokes a hole in the two big giant balls before carving out a slice of cake and eating it.
X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels meet with Joey Ace and Chico, and tell them to bring it to Omos as they are two of them and one of them. After Chico and Haste leave, The Miz and Maryse want to see Triple H after what Dexter Lumis did. After Shawn says that Dexter Lumis has to have a reason to go after The Miz and that The Miz had to have done something to tick Lumis off, The Miz says he will do anything to get rid of Lumis. Road Dogg then makes a match next week where if Lumis loses, he is gone from WWE forever. If Lumis wins, he keeps Miz's gifts.
Omos beats Joey Ace and Chico (known as Robert Adams and Joseph Torres on the chyron) in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, Omos hits both of his opponents with choke bombs. (Robert Adams/Chico is Chico Adams, while Joey Ace/Joseph Torres is Joey Ace.)
Girl Up scholarship winner Lauren Huffstetler is seen in the crowd.
Before the next match, Bobby Lashley says that he will be a fighting champions, then calls out Seth Rollins for his shot at the United States Championship only for Brock Lesnar to show up. After Brock Lesnar bids the crowd good evening, he does the same to Lashley before laying him out with an F5. When Lashley tries to get up, he gets suplexed before taking another F5. Lesnar then puts Lashley in the Kimura Lock before leaving.
Referees check on Bobby Lashley when Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring wanting a fight, and tells Lashley that he will not get out of their match easily and that he wants it right now. He says that Lashley is supposed to be a fighter and a solider, then calls him a disgrace to the United States Championship and his country and dares Lashley to fight him. Lashley gets in the ring for the match, then goes for a Spear only for Rollins to hit the Pedigree for a near-fall. Rollins then goes for a frog splash off the top, but Lashley still kicks out. Rollins goes for The Stomp, but Lashley avoids it and hits the Spear. He goes for the Hurt Lock, but Rollins elbows his way out and hits the rolling elbow followed by the superkick and another rolling elbow to the back of the neck. After kicking away the injured arm, Rollins readies another Stomp and connects. Rollins then readies yet another Stomp, and again, he connects. Seth "Freakin'" Rollins beats Bobby Lashley to become the WWE United States Champion!
Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Bobby Lashley, who says that what Brock Lesnar did to him is unforgiveable. He says he is not done with Seth Rollins yet, but he dares Lesnar to show up next week so he can prove he is "not a bitch."
We hear a cryptic message from Bray Wyatt, which ends in "Revel in what you are."

After X-Pac gives a shout-out to Chyna and Road Dogg does his trademark intro while calling the group "D-Geriatric X," Triple H says it has been 25 years since D-Generation X began before thanking the fans while going into the "Let's get ready to suck it!" line. Shawn asks the fans to put them out of their misery if re-unite another 25 years later, then ends with the "We've got two words for ya" line.
