"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring. Jey says he should have the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, but instead, he has medical tape. He says he should have listened to Roman Reigns' advice, but he does not play when it comes to his family: do not talk about his family, do not disrespect his family, and do not put his hands on his family. He says that Roman is laid up in the hospital, then calls The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed) out. LA Knight shows up instead. Knight says he believed in himself and believed he would be World Heavyweight Champion, but he stands as a loser. He says everyone else lost that match, and while he does not know about Jey living in Jimmy Uso's shadow, he says that Seth lives in his wife's. He says this did not have to happen, as they had the chance to take the title off Rollins, but Jey spoiled everything. Knight says he is sick and tired of being left laying and not being World Heavyweight Champion, and if Jey will stand in his way and have a tough time understand, he can get him up to speed "real damn quick." Jey says "Talk to me, Uce," but before Knight can explain, Breakker and Bronson show up. Knight notices that Rollins is absent and tells them to go back to the back if they cannot make a coherent sentence, but Breakker says he is coherent enough to beat Knight twice before mentioning that Roman Reigns also put Paul Heyman in the hospital. He says that should be concerned that Heyman is not here because there is nobody to hold him and Bronson back, and that they are going to put Knight and Jey in the hospital next to Roman. Bronson tells the fans to acknowledge their "Tribal Thief" but is met by "Fuck you, Bronson" chants, then brags about how he and Breakker beat down Roman like no one ever has because the vision does not include Roman and the vision does not include Jey or Knight, and for that, Jey and Knight are next. Breakker says Jey and Knight are a couple of smart guys, then proposes they have a tag team match tonight before Breakker questions their health and their courage. Knight puts his rivalry with Jey aside for the tag team match, and Jey accepts the challenge.
We are introduced to the French commentary team of Philippe Chéreau and Christopher Agius. It is announced that Raw will be live from France again in January.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Rhea Ripley. Rhea says she respects both Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer and believes they deserve their championship match, but she will do whatever it takes to earn a shot at the Women's World Championship. All of a sudden, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Asuka questions Rhea wanting a title shot before Iyo even has her match. Rhea says she does not know why Asuka has a problem with her, then says that she wants to be champion like everyone else and that her friendship with Iyo has nothing to do with it. Asuka says they are not friends and to stay away. Rhea says she is trying to play nice for Iyo's sake, but tells Asuka not to push her. Asuka says she has known her for ten years and that she will push anyone she wants. Rhea dares Asuka to try her, but Asuka says nobody is ready for her, even Rhea.
Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Roxanne wants to be in the Women's World Championship match, but Pearce reminds her and Raquel that they just lost tonight. When Lyra Valkyria shows up, she has a verbal spat with Roxanne and Raquel over Bayley over Pearce dismisses Roxanne and Raquel. Pearce then tells Lyra that Bayley will be coming back, then Lyra wants a match with either Roxanne or Raquel next week over the disrespect from earlier. Pearce makes the match official.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews LA Knight. Knight says it may not be the best decision to be in tonight's match, but he cannot stop, and if he has to do this to get to the World Heavyweight Championship, he will do it. He then says he and "Main Event" Jey Uso can die together or die apart, then says that if one does dirt, one gets dirt. "Main Event" Jey Uso suddenly appears and says he comes from the dirt and that since "Big" Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker got Roman, he has them. Jey tells Knight to stay out of his way and there will be no problems.
Backstage, CM Punk is talking with Rhea Ripley when General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and says Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is somehow in the building. Punk says he will handle this.
We hear from Rusev. Rusev says Sheamus called him a bully and he called his bluff; Rusev says he is a beacon and a source of inspiration for the children. He says the world says to be kind, but he says to be one of a kind, and to be like Rusev. As for Sheamus, he brought his Irish body, but his French spirit showed up and he made him cave. He says he will be the bigger man towards Sheamus and that they can be friends again with Sheamus knowing that his place is beneath his feet. He says he was scary when he was held back, but he is devastating now.
CM Punk is in the ring. He hijacks the show until Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and faces him man-to-man, and Rollins' music hits. Instead of Rollins, however, he gets Becky Lynch, and Becky says that she is man Punk will have to deal with. Punk tells Becky that this has nothing to do with her and to tell Rollins to get in the ring, but Becky says this has everything to do with her. Punk wants nothing to do with this, but Becky demands that Punk listen to what she has to say. She says he has had to listen to Punk tell lies about her husband Rollins, but Punk says Rollins is a coward. Becky says Rollins has sacrificed more for the business than Punk will ever know and that Rollins is everything Punk is not. At this point, Punk has had enough of Becky, who says that the CM Punk chants proved that nobody cared about what she was doing or the work that she was putting in. She also says that she got herself to WrestleMania and that she and Rollins brought the business to where it is today, which leads to "Shut the fuck up" chants from the crowd. Becky then says Punk needs to get out of the way as Punk is not what the business needs and does not fit the vision. Punk say the vision is a bit blurry, then says everyone continues to chant his name in the towns he was in, then says that Rollins and Becky were not there when he was because Rollins runs from adversity, hides behind his faction and now hides behind his wife when it stares him in the face, especially when Becky is a talented Superstar who just had bad taste and married a bum. Punk calls Rollins a paper champion and says it will never be over between him and Rollins. Rollins suddenly shows up and says he has been looking for Punk all night, and if Punk has something to say to him, he can say it to his face at the stage. Becky gets in Punk's way immediately, but Rollins walks away when Punk gets past Becky. When Punk turns around, Becky slaps Punk multiple times to no effect before calling him "pathetic." Punk says he will make Rollins regret cashing on it and make Becky regret putting his hands on him, but Becky says she already does and that she will have to bathe in bleach. Becky says that Punk will never be champion as Punk leaves.
Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce tells CM Punk that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins has left the building. Punk asks Pearce where SmackDown is next week, and finds out it is in Chicago. Punk says "Tremendous," then leaves.
The Vision (Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed) beats "Main Event" Jey Uso and LA Knight. After the match, Bronson and Brakker go on the attack on Jey Uso, and while LA Knight tries to make the save, Breakker hits him with a Spear. Breakker then hits another Spear on Jey, and Bronson hits Jey with a Tsunami. All of a sudden, Jimmy Uso shows up with a metal folding chair, and Bronson and Breakker get out of the ring.
