Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 22, 2026

Oba Femi heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Oba says that since he was born, he has been backed by destiny, which allowed him to enter the WWE, beat Brock Lesnar and reach the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. He says that destiny is still on his side, and this weekend, destiny will take him to new heights when he becomes the new King of the Ring. Oba then states that when he becomes King, he still has the dilemma of picking between the Undisputed WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. All of a sudden, he is interrupted by "Main Event" Jey Uso, and despite Oba Femi's claims that he will stop Jey from "running it back," Jey Uso has his theme play for a few more seconds anyway. Jey says that everyone has counted him out when he won the Royal Rumble, won the World Heavyweight Championship, shook arenas, and in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament, and that people are counting him out against Oba Femi. Jey says he will shock the world and silence the haters by beating Oba Femi to become King of the Ring and beat "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He calls this "a warning shot," but an unfazed Oba Femi tells Jey that he will destroy him regardless of whether he misses when he shoots his shot and that Jey is not the family member that he is really worried about. He then tells Jey to hand his bullets to his cousin Roman Reigns.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by LA Knight, who still thinks that Pearce is siding with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu) Jimmy Uso shows up and confronts LA Knight for his actions from last week, and Pearce gets between them only to be told to shut up by LA Knight. Pearce puts Knight and Jimmy in a match, and LA Knight responds by refusing to listen to Pearce and puts himself in a match tonight with Jimmy.

Before the next match, Jackie Redmond interviews Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Lyra says that this is the night where they become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and Bayley says they have been the best team in the women's division for far too long and that it is all or nothing.

Brie Bella and Paige retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. After the match, Bayley helps Lyra up and says that they are still the best, but Lyra Valkyria throws Bayley into the ropes and attacks her. Officials have to run into the ring to pull Lyra off of Bayley, but that leads to Lyra hitting Bayley with Nightwing.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria, who is not even in the mood to be interviewed before she walks off.

Chad Gable heads to the ring. Gable says he is in the ring for something special and that he has had "a hell of a month" after losing his mask in Mexico, and that he not only lost his mask, but he lost his self-respect, his reputation, his dignity and even some of his friends. He says that Rey Mysterio has made him realize it is never too late to right some wrongs in your life, then asks Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) to come to the ring. Alpha Academy come to the ring, and Gable thanks them, saying that he does not deserve them giving him the time of day. Gable congratulates Maxxine on winning a singles championship and states that the way he treated her was pathetic and embarrassing, and says it is all his fault. He says that Tozawa has the heart of a lion, but he tried to hold him down and hold him back, and says how he treated him was pathetic and embarrassing, and it is all his fault. He calls Otis the most loyal friend a human being could ever have and says that Otis would have taken a bullet for him, and that he misses him. He says that they were neighbors, Olympic training partners and tag team champions, and he threw it all away because he selfishly wanted a singles title more than his friendship and it is all on him. Gable says that Alpha Academy does not owe him a damn thing, but he owes them something, and apologizes for his behavior. Before Otis can forgive Gable, Maxxine stands between them, saying there was a time that she would believe everything he said, but now she sees clearly, and that everything about Gable is a lie. She knows that everyone wants to forgive him, including Otis and Tozawa, but she does not, especially after she had to stop and especially after they had to drown in the business alone while he chased his own dreams because it was all about him. She says the apology is for him, but when she achieved his dream, he finally realized that they never needed him. Maxxine then says they will leave him the same way he left Alpha Academy: alone. She then shoves the microphone into Gable's chest and leaves with Tozawa, and Otis looks briefly at Gable before joining them.



Backstage, Dragon Lee is met by Rey Mysterio, who tells "All Ego" Ethan Page some respect for lucha libre after what Ethan and Rusev last week. Penta shows up and says tonight is Dragon Lee's night.

"All Ego" Ethan Page beats Dragon Lee after hitting Dragon Lee low with his head in a way that looks inadvertent to the referee before hitting the Ego-Plex for the win.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). Theory says that everyone is after them, including Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, who Breakker will handle in a steel cage, and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who do not know respect. He says that when it comes to building the future, The Vision are the ones doing it. He says that nobody knows sacrifice like Logan Paul, who says that if it were up to him, he would beat The Street Profits over the head with his cast, then brags than he is healing faster than anybody in the course of human history who has ever healed and that he has his money on The Vision tonight. Bron Breakker says that they will handle business tonight and retain the World Tag Team Championships.

We hear from Sol Ruca, who says that she is a thrill-seeker not just in the ring, but in everything that she does. She loves learning new things and challenging herself, as well as failing, getting back up and making a fool out of herself. She says that the feeling she gets when she gets back up and proves everyone wrong is what drives her, and that she is unapologetically herself and the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Zuffa boxers Lee Cutler and Alex MacMillan, former boxer Derek Chisora, UFC Welterweight Figher Michael "Venom" Page and actor Jason Statham are seen in the crowd.

Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky in the ring. Iyo says she is extremely grateful to have gotten here, and she cannot wait to beat Liv Morgan to become Queen of the Ring. Suddenly, Liv Morgan shows up and says that Iyo has forgotten who she is dealing with and that Iyo is not beating her because she is so much better and so much more talented than Iyo. Liv says she is the face of the women's division and that all she is missing is her crown as she enters the ring, and that she will make history by becoming Queen of the Ring while Women's World Champion and beating Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's Championship. Iyo asks Liv if the crown will fit on her big head, then says that Liv is arrogant. Iyo then says something to Liv in Japanese before Liv hits her, and Iyo answers back with a springboard drop kick.



Backstage, Jimmy Uso is met by "Main Event" Jey Uso. Jimmy says he has LA Knight and that Jey should focus on becoming King of the Ring. Jacob Fatu shows up, and Jey wonders where Jacob has been. Jacob says he only answers to Roman Reigns, and that the only thing that matters is that Solo Sikoa got the message, and now, they sit and wait. Jey asks what the plan is, and Jacob says that they wait for Solo to cross the line.

Backstage, Danhausen is met by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Dominik says that they want their money, and Danhausen says that he spent it on his experiment. McDonagh says that they either get their $100,000 back or they will take the experiment. Danhausen curses McDonagh, who then grabs the experiment only to shock himself. This allows Danhausen to quickly disappear.



LA Knight beats Jimmy Uso. During the match, Solo Sikoa shows up out of the crowd and hits Jimmy Uso with a Samoan Spike, which allows LA Knight to hit the BFT for the win.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Angelo says they are ready, saying they are ready for The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) and that unlike Logan Paul, he is 100%. He also says that unlike Austin Theory, they will get the job done. Montez says they will not only take the World Tag Team Championships, but The Vision's London Bridge is going down.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Bayley. Bayley says she has nothing to say after Lyra Valkyria turned on her and walks off.

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez is frustrated with losing opportunities as she talks to Roxanne Perez. Roxanne says she is happy for Liv Morgan, but says it should have been Liv and Raquel in the Queen of the Ring Tournament finals. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up, and JD McDonagh's hand is shaking as he introduces himself to Roxanne and Raquel, as if he does not know them. Liv Morgan shows up angry at what Iyo Sky did to her, and Raquel says that while Liv Morgan will become Queen of the Ring, the rest of them are not doing so well. Liv says she will become a double champion while Raquel will handle Sol Ruca. Suddenly, McDonagh's condition takes a turn for the worse, and he has to be rushed to medical.

We see Corey Graves' interview with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins from earlier today. Rollins says he has gotten closer to his goal of destroying The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory), although it has not gone the way he expected. He says that if it were not for The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), he does not know if he would be one win away from doing it. Rollins says he knows the risks of a steel cage match with Bron Breakker and says a lot could go wrong, but when you have a problem, you must find a way around it, and he is an expert at that and putting other chips on the table. He says that this steel cage match will tell him and the world who he is, and if he can beat Breakker, then he can put The Vision behind him and take back the World Heavyweight Championship that he never lost.



Backstage, Chad Gable meets with General Manager Adam Pearce. They are both met by The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) as they mention Penta, and Dominik says that Gable is not facing Penta before him when he cannot even get an apology from "[his] loser friends." Dominik then demands an apology from Gable for disrespecting him as well as Pearce for Danahusen stealing his money. Gable says that Dominik sent him to Mexico in the first place and that this is what he gets for "listening to [his] dumb ass." Gable then says that Dominik will have to beat an apology out of him, but Dominik says he does not just give away matches. Pearce then makes a match between Gable and McDonagh - who thinks Pearce is a doctor - official for next week.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) to become the World Tag Team Champions and five-time tag team champions in WWE. During the match, Logan Paul gets ejected from ringside for putting Theory's foot on the rope during a pinfall attempt, but he later returns with brass knuckles. Joe Hendry shows up and chases Logan Paul through the crowd, but when Theory goes for the knuckles that Logan Paul has left in the ring, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up through the crowd as Breakker waits for him at the bottom ofthe ramp. Rollins takes the knuckles and knocks Theory out with them, and Breakker chases after Rollins in the crowd, leaving Theory subsceptible to The Street Profits' double-team offense and allowing The Street Profits to win the match and the titles.

Let's Go - LFG recap for June 22, 2025

Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends: The Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T and Michelle McCool, who replaces Mickie James from Season 1. Just like last season, there will be an LFG Championship for whoever gets the most points. Michelle McCool gets the first pick of one man and one woman, much to the chagrin of Booker T, who thinks this gives Michelle an unfair advantage. On the other hand, Bubba Ray wants Michelle to take BJ Ray so he does not have to deal with him.

Nikkita Lyons is ready to devour Tyra Mae Steele, but Tyra Mae Steele tells The Undertaker that she is more than ready for her.

Tyra Mae Steele beats Nikkita Lyons. After the match, Tyra Mae is fired up. Meanwhile, Zena feels like she should have had Tyra Mae's spot and says that she is planning to redouble her efforts from Season 1.

Shawn Michaels prepares the Future Greats for the LFG draft.

We are introduced to some of the Future Greats Drake Morreaux, Dani Sekelsky (who hopes to be under The Undertaker's learning tree), Penina Tuilalepa, Elijah Holyfield and Shiloh Hill return. Summer Sorrell, Trill London (a former NFL defensive back who wants to follow a dream) and Haze Jameson are new faces. We see Johnny Moss coach the Future Greats in the LFG combine. Booker T wants to get Anthony Luke back on his team, then we see Anthony Luke dress like a young Rock. The Undertaker is seen whispering to Shiloh Hill, who is not impressing Bubba Ray at the moment. Booker T wants everyone to take things seriously, and Elijah Holyfield is the first to do so after Bubba Ray tells him not to let everything going on to his head. Michelle McCool has her eyes on a few people. Haze Jameson nearly lands on her head during a hip toss from Tatyanna Dumas, who admits that she has bad fundamentals. The Future Greats then talk about their picks for matches.

Penina Tuilalepa cuts a promo before her match where she says that the others Future Greats are too weak and too soft and that there is nobody tougher and nastier than her, and issue a challenge to anyone who has any grievances. Dani Sekelsky shows up and says nobody has questioned her toughness and says that Penina is tougher than half the NFL players she has met before stating that the odds have always been stacked against her. She then says the LFG field is wide open, and may be the best woman win.

The Undertaker tells Dani Sekelsky to be aggressive. Dani hopes that she hopes that she and Penina Tuilalepa can take everyone on a "David and Goliath" journey with their match. Penina says that not making it to last season's finals ticked her off and that she is more focused than ever.

Penina Tuilalepa beats Dani Sekelsky after slamming her way out of the Hell's Gate. Penina says that he is nastier than ever and that she is "the number one prospect." Dani says she feels good coming out of her match, and that she hopes to get better at playing the underdog.

We are introduced to Harlem Lewis, who says that he is here to beat people's asses and that he is bringing the intensity and aggression that is missing. We are also re-introduced to Chris Island, who hopes to have a match to the best of his ability in a killer like Harlem Lewis. Both men get in each others' faces before the match, and Chris Island can tell that Harlem has that killer instinct.



Harlem Lewis beats Chris Island. After the match, Harlem Lewis talks about how his mother is excited for him to have his debut on LFG and even mentions how he had a WWE-themed birthday as a kid, then admits that he and her mother are not on the best of terms right now.

The next morning is the Season 2 draft. Michelle McCool gets the first two picks out of the men and the women, followed by Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T and The Undertaker. Michelle picks Penina Tuilaepa from the women out from Booker T's nose, much to Booker T's chagrin, and picks Anthony Luke out from the men, again to Booker T's chargin. Booker T goes on a tirade where he states that he should have won Season 1 before walking out.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for June 22, 2022

Tony Schiavone interviews Bryan Danielson in the ring to start tonight's show. Danielson says this week is a great week to be an AEW fan and a professional wrestling fan, as Sunday is an inter-promotional show with two of the best companies in the world with exceptional wrestling. He then says Wednesday is nearly the completely opposite with Blood and Guts, and says that he is just as excited about the violent as the fans are, then says that he expected to be part of those events and challenge Zack Sabre Jr. to a match. He says that he was going to prove that Zack Sabre Jr. was not the better wrestler and crush his trachea before getting revenge on The Jericho Appreciation Society, but unfortunately, he has some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that because of what happened to him at Anarchy In The Arena, he is not cleared to compete at either event, but he will be coming back and there is no one who can wrestle in the ring like him. The good news is that Eddie Kingston has gone on record to say he is a judgmental prick and says that Eddie is right before saying he has really high standards and that he has found the one person he trusts to take his place at Forbidden Door and Blood and Guts. He says this person can take it to Zack Sabre Jr. at a technical level before kicking Chris Jericho's ass and that the fans will be astounded at what they can do, then says he is not going to reveal who he is and that Zack Sabre Jr. will not find out until Sunday. Zack Sabre Jr. shows up and yells at Danielson from the stage.



We hear from Jon Moxley, who says it will be personal against The Jericho Appreciation Society after everything they have done, and while they can fight, he will find out if they can survive like his team can. He says that men driven by greed like Chris Jericho will learn just how much they are willing to suffer and endure in the steel cage, but before that, he has a match with Hiroshi Tanahashi where he will transform into the man he always knew he could be. Moxley says tonight is business and Sunday is personal, and when the bell rings, he has no respect for anyone.

Orange Cassidy and Roppongi Vice (Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero) beat The United Empire (Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis) in a trios match. After the match, Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan show up, and as The United Empire stands on the ring apron, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) shows up to even the numbers. The United Empire retreats.



Backstage, we hear from Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh. Sonjay says he is very happy right now and that they are celebrating by going to India, but Lethal is concentrating on becoming ROH World Television Champion when Samoa Joe comes back to work. Lethal tells Samoa Joe to either come back and defend the title or vacate the title so it goes to its rightful owner, as the clock is ticking.

Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage in the ring. Christian says he would not let Jungle Boy eliminate him from the Casino Battle Royal and get away with it, and disapproves of the fans cheering his elimination from the match. He also says Jungle Boy cost him a huge roster bonus and a title shot, and if people like Jungle Boy so much, he might as well do a background check on him. Christian says he went to social media to do just that. He calls the wrestling side of social media "a bunch of losers" whose opinion does not matter, then says that Jungle Boy is talented and that he decided to hitch onto that train for some easy money. Christian says he is not here to help out the younger talent; he is here for money, and if anyone wants to earn his paycheck, all they need to do is have a match people talk about more than a week after it happens. As for Jungle Boy, he plans to recoup the huge roster bonus from him, and while he has the talent, he does not have the knowledge, and the one time Jungle Boy heads to the ring without him, he lost championship gold. Christian says that with the gravy train run dry, he has to do things himself, and it pisses him off. As for the comments he made towards Jungle Boy's family, he says that he gave them a chance to apologize to giving birth to Jungle Boy, then says that Jungle Boy's mom wanted him to be his father, then says he does not want to be and that Jungle Boy's father is dead. Christian says that Jungle Boy's father Luke Perry would be embarrassed at him, then tells him to stay gone and enjoy his early retirement at age 25 before Luchasaurus shows up and chokes him. Luchasaurus eventually lets go, then says they need to talk in private. Christian whispers something to him and hugs him, then leads him to the back.



We hear from Kyle O'Reilly and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Nick Jackson boasts that they have the tag team titles back, and Matt says everything is right with the world again before saying they will be at Forbidden Door. O'Reilly says Sting and Darby Allin should be in jail for what they did to him, then says The Young Bucks, El Phantasma and Hikuleo will take them on at Forbidden Door. Matt says that for one night, they will superkick the Forbidden Door down.

Malakai Black beats Penta Oscuro to qualify for the AEW All-Atlantic Championship Tournament. After the match, PAC gets in the ring, then Miro shows up on the video screen and says that he will walk into the Forbidden Door and forgive everyone, including Malakai Black.

Adam Cole guests on commentary for the next match.

"Hangman" Adam Page beats "The Last Real Man" Silas Young. After the match, Adam Cole interrupts, but gets interrupted himself by "Switchblade" Jay White, who says he owes Cole an explanation, as he is responsible for making Forbidden Door as big as it can be. He says that as much as he would like it to be about Bullet Club and The Undisputed Era, his opponent still cannot be Adam Cole because Cole lost to Adam Page twice. Jay White then addresses Page, and says everyone wants to know who he will face. Jay White then says it will not be against Adam Page, and Page smacks the microphone out of his hand, starting a brawl. Cole ends up hitting a low blow on Page, then grabs the IWGP World title only for Jay White to see him with it. After Cole tells Jay White to get Page up so he can hit him with it, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and fights both Jay White and Adam Cole. Page and Okada team up, and White and Cole soon retreat after Page and Okada have a brief staredown.



Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Kiera Hogan, Stokely Hathaway and Jade Cargill. It is announced that Red Velvet has been injured. Cargill says the show must go on, and Kiera says the joke is on Kris Statlander. Stokely says they are looking for a new baddie.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Kris Statlander and Athena. After making fun of Jade Cargill's baddie search, they say it is a shame what happened to Red Velvet before saying they will take the fight to Jade Cargill and the rest of the baddies with the help of Willow Nightingale.

Toni Storm beats Marina Shafir despite the attempted interference by "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose. After the match, Nyla Rose attacks Toni Storm and Marina Shafir joins in. Suddenly, Thunder Rosa runs into the ring and fights Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir, drop kicking Marina and teaming up with Toni to take out Nyla Rose. Toni Storm then hits Nyla Rose with the AEW Women's World Championship before handing it back to Thunder Rosa.



We hear from Darby Allin and Sting. Darby Allin says Kyle O'Reilly is too scared to show up at Forbidden Door and that they have two other people of their own when they take out Bullet Club. Sting says they will kick bodies down the hill until there is nobody left.

We see a video package for Rey Fenix vs. Andrade el Idolo this Friday on Rampage.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 22, 2021

Before the next match, Adam Cole mentions his match with Kyle O'Reilly at Great American Bash before mentioning tonight's match with a self-appointed opponent. Cole says he will not pick his own opponent, and will not follow the rules simply because Samoa Joe is here. He tells Joe that he is king around here, and says that when he embarrasses Kyle O'Reilly, he will be the greatest NXT Superstar of all time. Suddenly, Carmelo Hayes shows up and says if anyone will change Cole's mind, it will be him. When Cole asks how, Hayes says "Ruthless aggression" and slaps him.

We hear from LA Knight, who says he does not need "an old man" like "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase riding his coattails, then says that Cameron Grimes is an idiot for caring more about DiBiase than the Million Dollar Championship. He says that the drop that Cameron Grimes took from the ladder will be nothing compared to when he drops him on his head.



Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory head to the ring. Gargano says that there is new management in town, which means that there needs to be a new NXT Champion. He says that Karrion Kross is not needed, and that a handsome, hard-working and respectable family man like himself should be champion. He says that during the 57 days he was NXT Champion, NXT thrived and was the best it had ever been, and at TakeOver, he proved that Karrion Kross is not on his level, saying he outclassed him every time they were in the ring together. Gargano also says everybody knows he can outwrestle Karrion Kross on his worst day, then Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan show up. Dunne says Gargano must be mad if he thinks he is #1 contender over him, then tells Theory to shut up. Gargano says Lorcan and Dunne are trying to start chaos, then says there is a new way to do things and they do not take part in hijinx anymore.

Drew McIntyre shows up to start tonight's show. McIntyre talks about last week's match with R-Truth against MVP and Bobby Lashley, then says it is time to look to the future. Before he can say anything else, however, Dolph Ziggler shows up. Ziggler announces that after AJ Styles was traded to SmackDown, he and Bobby Roode were been traded to Raw in return. He then says he is happy to see Drew as WWE Champion, then says Drew owes him. Ziggler then goes on and says that years ago, Drew was fired, and that Drew would have been done if it were not for him bringing Drew to the main roster. He then says Drew is WWE Champion because of him, then says he knows Drew needs a challenger for Extreme Rules. Ziggler then says that all he is asking for is what he is owed, but McIntyre reminds Ziggler that he has done nothing but lose since they split apart because Ziggler became what they used to despise: an entitled jackass. McIntyre then mentions that he does need an opponent for Extreme Rules, then mentions Ziggler's old "Scottish Psychopath" nickname for him and tells him what he is capable of now before asking if he still wants the match. Ziggler says yes, and McIntyre says the match is official.



Nia Jax shows up with a steel chair and sits in the center of the ring. Nia says that Charlotte Flair got what she wanted tonight regardless of whether she deserved it or not while she was cheated out of a championship at Backlash by a crooked referee. Suddenly, R-Truth shows up. R-Truth says he is supposed to have a match against an evil leader of a ninja clan in Akira Tozawa for the WWE 24/7 Championship, then thinks Nia is the real Tozawa, as ninjas are masters of deception and disguise. Nia says she is not in the mood, then R-Truth sees Akira Tozawa behind the announce table. As ninjas surround the ring, Truth says he sees two Tozawas, then runs over the barricade. Charlotte Flair then shows up. Charlotte says that Nia squandered her last two title matches and dropped the ball, and now she is throwing "a huge hissy-fit." Nia says Charlotte gets what she wants because of her dad being "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, then Charlotte gets in the ring. After Nia says that her father has helped her career, she tells Charlotte has never beaten her and has only beaten "easy targets," for she is the only woman built to take her crown.

Backstage, Austin Theory and Murphy try to speak to Seth Rollins, who tells them that he has a message for Rey Mysterio and that soon, all will be revealed.

Backstage, Seth Rollins says that sometimes in life, we are destined for roles beyond our choices and that he did not choose to be the Monday Night Messiah as Rey Mysterio did not choose to be a sacrifice. He then says the difference between himself and Rey is that he he has embraced his role in the greater good, while Rey has been defiant and that defiance breeds suffering. He also says that Rey has allowed his son Dominick to become involved. Rollins that whatever becomes of Rey and Dominick will be on Rey, as the greater good is coming for us all and there is nothing Rey can do to stop it. Rollins says that while legends never die, they can outlive their welcome.

As she leaves, Charly Caruso hears Andrade, Zelina Vega and Angel Garza, and interviews them. Angel Garza says that when you know what you want, you know you have to take risks. Zelina says the three of them are now a united front and have turned their differences into strength and will be taking a common prize: the Raw tag team titles.

Asuka retains the WWE Raw Women's Championship with the Asuka Lock.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Nia Jax, who says it would be a real shame to kick Charlotte Flair while she is down.

We hear from Edge, who admits that Randy Orton won at Backlash but did not live up to his claim of being the greatest technical wrestler. He says he felt the panic when he was about to hit the Anti-Venom, and that it caused Orton to hit him with a low blow. He says that while Orton beating him means everything in his world, him beating Orton is what he expects, and he is ashamed that he did not hit the low blow first. He says that will not happen again. Edge goes on to say that he lit a fire in Orton's gut and reminded him that he is "The Legend Killer," and says that his injury has reminded him to wake up a side of him that has laid dormant for way too long. He says that after what Orton did to his life-long friend Christian, he woke up a side of him that will sink to any level to get what he wants, and now he wants to embarrass and emasculate Orton. He says that his family will know that Orton is not okay, and while Orton has voices in his head, he will scream louder than all of them and tear his life apart brick by brick from the inside. Edge tells Orton that he has no idea what he has done, and that he has woke him up.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Randy Orton, who says that when a snake feels threatened, it will strike wildly and blindly to survive, which is what he did to Edge and Christian. He says he will do to defend his family and livelihood and to survive, and while he wishes Edge and Christian a full recovery, he recommends they do it far away from him.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Charlotte Flair, who says she is not happy with what happened tonight. As she says that targeting her arm is the only way Asuka won tonight, she is suddenly attacked by Nia Jax. Nia slams the lid of a box on Charlotte's arm before leaving.



Before the next match begins, MVP and Bobby Lashley show up. Akira Tozawa hides underneath the ring as MVP and Lashley attack the ninjas and confront R-Truth. Lashley then puts R-Truth in the full nelson before leaving with MVP. After Lashley and MVP leave, Tozawa comes out from underneath the ring and pins R-Truth to win the WWE 24/7 Championship.



Backstage, Natalya says she feels bad for Charlotte Flair and says that the women's division needs her leadership, as Asuka is not the best leader. She then chews out Sarah Schreiber for not interviewing her, as they have no time for her announcement due to her match being next.

Natalya beats Liv Morgan with the Sharpshooter following the distraction by Lana.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Big Show, who says that just when he thinks he's seen it all, he's seen ninjas. He says he was only here last week to say hello to some old friends, then he had an opportunity to fight ninjas. He says that his career is mostly focused on his acting career, but right now, he has some business from last week to take care of and he can still be an angry, heartless giant.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship is official for Extreme Rules.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up. Ric tells Nia Jax that she will wish she worked in a different environment when his daughter Charlotte Flair comes back, then says that Randy Orton is the greatest wrestler today after punting Edge and Christian back into retirement. He then introduces Randy Orton to the ring. Ric calls Orton the best performer in the history of WWE, then shakes his hand. Orton thanks Ric, saying it is nostalgic that they are both in the ring, and that nostalgia can be confused with legacy. He says it is nostalgic that Ric hit Christian with a low blow and that he punted Christian last week, and that Edge stepped in the ring for the very last time at Backlash. Orton then calls the fire reignited in him to become "The Legend Killer" once again is him reigniting his legacy, and that he gets nothing but pleasure from it. Suddenly, Big Show shows up. Big Show says he will not let Flair glorify everything Orton did, and that Orton will pay for what he did to Edge and Christian. He says that Orton has been nothing more than "a narcissistic parasite" who will feed on anyone he feels will get him to the next level. He says that Orton latches on to performers who make him look better as he lacks what it takes to better himself, and that Orton only cares about getting what he wants and leaving the host to die. Big Show says that Edge is not done and that he will make Orton pay for what he has done, but he will not do it alone as he will break every bone in Orton's body. Orton says he knows he will not lay a hand on him or Flair, as he respects both of them and he took Big Show under his wing, and that Big Show is indeed a future Hall of Famer and legend. He did not expect to anger Big Show, but he says it would be tragic for him to share the same fate as Edge and Christian. This does not bother Big Show, who wants to fight Orton. Orton leaves, saying he is focused and motivated and that what happens next is on Big Show.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Bobby Lashley, who says he should be WWE Championship but isn't because of R-Truth. MVP says that Lashley is "a man revitalized" and free of distractions, and says he could work wonders for Apollo Crews' career. He says that Crews does not understand the business side of being a champion, and says that under his learning tree, he could become one of the best United States Champions since himself, and if he makes the wrong decision, that is on him. MVP and Lashley then head towards the ring.

Backstage, Ruby Riott meets with Liv Morgan, who says that nothing has gone her way and that she does not feel like feeling worse than she already does.

It's time for The VIP Lounge. Tonight's guest is Apollo Crews. MVP tells Crews that he gained a lot of respect for him after beating him to get a shot at the WWE United States Championship, then realized that Crews needs someone to keep him from bad decisions after he blew out his knee. As MVP tries to persuade Crews to join him, Crews says he made it this far without help, and while he appreciates his offer, his answer is still no. MVP tells Crews he has the potential to be one of the best champions of all time, but not without him in his corner. Crews asks what MVP will do to make tonight's match harder for him, and says he has deal with people like him throughout his life and will not let the United States title change who he is. MVP mentions his 343-day reign, then warns Crews there won't be a third chance, and tells him that the United States title will come back home where it belongs before Shelton Benjamin shows up. As Shelton confronts Crews, MVP distracts Crews, allowing Benjamin to hit Crews with a cheap shot and throw him into the ring post. MVP warns Crews never to put himself in a two-on-one situation. He then tells him that this piece of advice is free, and that the next one is going to cost him.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio tells Dominick that they will show Seth Rollins how the Mysterio family rolls.

Rey Mysterio and Dominick show up. Rey says that one of the most terrifying things to happen to a parent is not being able to get a hold of one's child, and last week, Dominick scared him when he went to avenge what Seth Rollins did to him. He did not expect Dominick to get out of a three-on-one situation, but he did, and while he is proud of him, he is angry with him as he worried his family, and tells him that he will always be his child no matter what. Rey then says that since Dominick fought for him, he will fight for Dominick, and that he must get revenge against Rollins on his own. Dominick tells Rey he isn't going anywhere, and tells Rollins that this family is going to fight. Rollins shows up, and tells Rey and Dominick that if they want a fight, then they are putting him in a difficult position over who to destroy first. He then says this is fate, prophecy and destiny and that both men are at the same place at the same time. After saying two eyes are better than one, he slowly walks down the ramp, then kneels down at the bottom of it as Murphy and Austin Theory show up. Suddenly, Humberto Carrillo and Aleister Black attack Murphy and Theory and send them into the ring, and Dominick, Aleister and Carrillo make quick work of them. Rollins tries to talk his way out, but he is quickly overpowered. As Rey and Dominick take Rollins to the steel steps, Murphy and Theory are forced to attack everyone to save Rollins. Rollins tries to do to Dominick's eye what he did to Rey, but he and his disciples retreat after Aleister and Carrillo return with steel chairs.

Colt Cabana retains the NWA National Championship against Mark Briscoe. After the match, Jay Briscoe rushes in and attacks Cobana along with Mark and smacks him in the head with the National Championship.

We hear from Shane Taylor, who states that the best thing about revenge is seeing the look on the face of the people who said you would never make it.
