After the match, Fabian Aichner shows up before The System can attack BDE further, and he almost easily wipes them out before getting planted by Bear Bronson. Suddenly, Leon Slater shows up and jump kicks Cedric in the head before heading to the ring and cleaning house with both Aichner and BDE. Slater then leaps over the ring post to take out The System as a whole.



We see a video package for the Wicked Garden Match between The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Vincent says the garden in the next step towards evolution, and Dutch says that the garden not only moves tonight, but that The Hardy swill not leave the same way they entered. Vincent says that the garden is alive and it feeds, and tonight, it will see something new.

AJ Francis makes his way to the ring. AJ Francis says 2026 has been "a money year" for him not just in the bank or in the ring, but because he has lost 300 pounds of dead weight by kicking KC Navarro and Rich Swann to the curb. He says that he lost "half of me, and that half of me makes masterpiece after masterpiece" before comparing himself to some musical greats and calling himself "the artist of a generation." AJ Francis debut a song called "Walk," the cover of which is AJ Francis looking like a dead ringer for Elijah. All of a sudden, the real Elijah shows up as AJ Francis performs, saying he showed up just as AJ Francis was about to embarrass himself. He also says that he had to see this for himself, and Francis insists that his new track is his music and his intellectual property. The two of them argue over whether the cover for the new song is a Photoshop before Elijah realizes it is all about the collaboration request. AJ Francis then serves Elijah with a cease and desist, stating that AJ Francis has acquired the rights, image and music catalog for Elijah, Elias and Ezekiel, and states that he owns Elijah now. Elijah states that legal jargon aside, he will still perform tonight with a song called "Don't Shill Uncle Phil."

He then says that he can see through Mike Santana and that he is sick with ego, selfishness and addiction to the fans' applause and approval like everyone else, and that he will beat him because he needs neither of those things, as he is above them both. Mike Santana shows up and heads to the ring, then says that while Eric Young thinks his words and actions keep him relevant, he has not been relevant for over fifteen years. He also questions Eric's belief that taking him out will make him the savior of TNA. Eric Young says he has been the one constant of TNA while so many people have came and went and poisoned TNA with ego and selfishness, but Santana says what is really poison in TNA is people like Eric Young. Eric asks Santana if the fans actually care about him, and the fans cheer before stating that Santana's shine will wear off to the point that the fans will turn on Santana like they did to him. He says that he is only one willing to pick TNA back up and fix it before telling Santana that he will piledrive him, take the TNA World Championship and take his power back. Santana tells Eric Young that he will find out that he is a man of his word and that next week, he will break his foot off in his ass.

Queen Aminata beats Lacey Lane.

We hear from Busta and the Brain (Alec Price and Jordan Oliver), who say that they will beat The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett), despite their appreciation and respect for everything they have done in ROH, as it is not their kingdom anymore in ROH is their castle now. Jordan Oliver says that The Kingdom talked down to them as if they were not ten-year veterans, and that they will get the win on their way to the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

Los Colons (Eddie and Orlando Colon) and Serpentico beat Kiran Grey, Alex Kane and Bruss Hamilton in a trios match.

In footage from earlier today, Isla Dawn says that things may not have gone her way, but she will not beat herself up for it; instead, she will beat up the next person she faces in the ring, who happens to be "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo beats Isla Dawn by submission with the Fujiwara Arm Bar in an ROH Women's Pure Championship Proving Ground Match.

We see the second part of Caprice Coleman's interview with Athena. Athena considers Billie Starkz a prodigy of pro wrestling, yet despite improving around her, she still does not listen. Nevertheless, Athena feels Billie has what it takes to survive in pro wrestling, but if she does not prove she can beat the best, she will be a minion forever. Athena says that Billie has tried to beat her, but has kept her in her place. She says that she tried to be a parent to her and have Billie's back, but when she tries things her way, she fails. She says that when she does listen, she succeeds. Athena says that Billie wears her emotions on her sleeve even though she does not want her to, and says that she and Billie are each others' supporters. When told that her greatest challengers are the ones that she has created, Athena says that this is by design, and that those who have stuck with her have survived the longest. Athena says Ring of Honor meant so much to her as a kid and when Tony Khan bought ROH, she took advantage of the situation and built herself and others up to the point that she has created multiple dream matches and the opportunity to give back every chance she gets. SHe says that no man can live up to his reign and no woman can match her legacy.

Backstage, we hear from Ricochet, who says that a lot of talent are competing and that he has his eye on them. He states that while he will not be in the ring "in this crappy town," he will be looking to see who is worthy of joining the faction that he wants to create and have all the attributes he is looking for as well as the willingness to follow and serve to ensure he wins championship gold and stays out of this world.

Will Ospreay beats Lio Rush with the Styles Clash after Lio Rush tries to punch Ospreay with a chain only for the referee to take the chain away. After the match, Action Andretti attacks Ospreay, then he and Lio Rush double team him. Shortly afterwards, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up, and Andretti fights him only to nearly eat a Buckshot Lariat when he is saved by Lio Rush. Hangman and the referee both check on Ospreay and help him up, then Ospreay and Hangman fistbump. Ospreay leaves the ring, then Hangman takes the microphone. Hangman says that if Ospreay will have his back, then he will have Ospreay's, and as much as he appreciates it, he is his own man and he does not need help to win the World Championship, not from Ospreay and not from Swerve Strickland. He says he does not need help from the man who would threaten the safety of his family for his own glory, and last week, he made a promise; tonight, he will make another. Hangman says he will never need or accept from Swerve Strickland. However, he will ride into Texas, defeat Jon Moxley, take the briefcase, take the AEW World Championship and hold it above his head, for it is a night for everyone and it will be his night. All of a sudden, Jon Moxley is in the ring, and both men have a staredown. Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta soon show up and surround the ring, as does Claudio Castagnoli. Will Ospreay shows up with two metal folding chairs and hands one to Hangman, and The Death Riders (Moxley, Shafir, Claudio, Wheeler) retreat.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita).

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!



Do The Evolution - Evolve recap for June 4, 2025

Kali Armstrong heads to the ring to start tonight's show. She says that she has been in WWE for a year and a half and that it only gets harder from here, but that is fine with her, because she is ducking no one in the locker room and that when she gets to NXT, they will know who the difference maker is. She then states that she is at the top of the women's division and wants to know who her first competitor is. Zayda Steel shows up and congratulates Kali Armstrong, then says that they are both history makers and that Kali is lucky. Nikkita Lyons shows up and also congratulates Kali, then states that she is here now that there is a women's champion, and while she has respect for Zayda, she is not afraid to pounce first when it comes to gold. Kali says Zayda and Nikkita are doing a lot of talking, but have not proven what they want this title. Zayda and Nikkita beat up Kali, then Natalya runs into the ring and makes the save. Natalya tries to get Zayda in the Sharpshooter, but Nikkita pulls Zayda out of the ring. When Natalya helps Kali up, Kali snatches the Evolve Women's Championship away from her.

Backstage, it is revealed that Carlee Bright has been attacked and that her left shoulder is hurt.

In the trainer's room, Carlee Bright is being checked on. Prime Minister Stevie Turner states that nothing like this should be happening in Evolve. Carlee Bright says that whoever attacked was wearing a black hoodie. Upon finding out that she has no serious injuries, she chooses to compete tonight.

Backstage, we hear from Keanu Carver. He says that his opponents want the prestige, glory and fame, but the men's Evolve Championship is his ticket out. He says that he is not going back to the streets after everything he has done to get here, and that he will beat the brakes out of all of his opponents. We hear from "Super" Sean Legacy, who says that he has waited eight long years for this moment. Timothy Thatcher tells him that he is ready, and Legacy says it is time to create his legacy.

Jin Tala beats Carlee Bright by submission with the Bakunawa Bind.

In backstage footage from last week, Wendy Choo attacks Kylie Rae from behind. Backstage, Chuey Martinez talks with Kylie Rae, who says that Wendy Choo has stuck her nose in her business week after week, and while Wendy has beaten her twice, she thought it was over after the Fatal 4-Way. She also admits that Wendy is the only person who makes her "not so smiley." As Kylie Rae says that is ready to deal with Wendy, Chantel Monroe tells her to call it quits, then leaves. Masyn Holiday and Layla Diggs apologize for Chantel's behavior, with Maysn hoping that Chantel's mirror will show a reflection of the Chantel they really know.

Backstage, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan) make fun of Lince Dorado wearing a mask, then tell Jackson Drake that they believe in Jackson Drake tonight. Jackson Drake says he knows he is a champion ever since he first stepped in a ring at thirteen years old and never looked back, and that everybody will soon know him as the Evolve Champion.

Backstage, Edris Enofé says he came back from a gruesome shoulder injury and that being unable to compete in the ring hurt worse. He says things will be different now, because tonight, he will go from being a tag team wrestler to a singles superstar when he becomes the first Evolve Champion.

The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) head to the ring. Wes Lee admits that nobody expected to see him in Evolve, especially with Tyson and Tyriek dominating, and last week, he showed up wanting to get a better understanding of what Evolve is all about. He says that he can see it when he talks to everyone in the locker room that everyone has big dreams and lots of potential as they hope to become the next big thing, then laughs because he was the same way until he made the business the best it could and changed the world. He says the locker room is naive and borderline delusional to think they will take his spot, as he has busted his ass and broken his back for this business and has not scratched the surface yet. Wes Lee lists his accolades in NXT, then says he is not done yet, and tells the Evolve locker room that he is the gatekeeper now and that they will have to go through him to get to NXT. Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel show up, and Cappuccino states that Tyriek and Tyson Dupont are impressive and that their mentorship is paying off. Wes Lee thinks Cappuccino wants a tag team rematch, but Cappuccino wants a match with Wes Lee. He says that whatever Wes Lee has been sipping on lately has been "kind of bitter," but Wes Lee says he has been around the block long enough to know better. He says he is not some "happy to be here kid" walking around with a coffee cup, but Cappuccino says he wants to see how he measure up and that he knows he has what it takes to get to NXT, and to get there, he must battle one of its stapes. Wes Lee warns Cappuccino that he should have stayed behind the counter, then accepts his challenge.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans says he had to check out Evolve, especially when he is rewarding the Evolve Championship to the winner of tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match. As he looks around, he sees Jordan Oasis, and tells him he is a fan of his work and that his time is coming.

We hear from Marcus Mathers, who introduces himself to the fans. He says that he has been wrestling for six years with over 650 matches under his belt, and that he is not just Philadelphia's finest, but the finest in WWE ID. He says that nobody has used WWE ID like he has and that he has been able to travel more, get more matches and train with the best of the best. He then says that he is bringing all that knowledge right here, right now, as WWE ID has prepared him for Evolve.

Jackson Drake beats Edris Enofé, Keanu Carver and "Super" Sean Legacy in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match to become the inaugural Evolve Champion! It takes both Jackson Drake and Sean Legacy to eliminate Keanu Carver.

Fyter Fest - Dynamite recap for June 4, 2025

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay to start tonight's show. Ospreay is embarrassed that he had a fight with Swerve Strickland last week and admits that teaming him with "Hangman" Adam Page was not a bad idea, then says Jon Moxley is the real enemy and that if they could put their differences aside, AEW could be better. He tells Moxley to "piss off" if he hates what AEW has become, as other people like him have given it momentum yet it sucks because he is its world champion. He says that Hangman and Swerve's tiff to stop each other from being world champion cannot be allowed to happen, and while he loves Swerve like a brother and would take a bullet for him, he would take a bullet for AEW first. Ospreay then calls Swerve out for a fight, then Cru shows up. Lio Rush says that Brits like to talk a lot and that Ospreay is doing a lot of talking, then says he has a lot of pent-up anger and a point to prove, stating the worst part of AEW is Ospreay. Ospreay says he would love to get a lot of that anger out, then asks the crowd if they want to see a Will Ospreay tonight. They make it known that they do, and Ospreay tells Lio Rush he will see him tonight and tells Swerve he will see him next week.



Jon Moxley beats Mark Briscoe by submission with the Bulldog Choke despite Briscoe's best efforts to fight out of it.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Will Ospreay when MJF suddenly shows up. MJF tells Ospreay to stay out of Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page's business, as it is only keeping Jon Moxley the AEW World Champion and because Ospreay has never beaten Hangman. He says both men are animals and that animals eat each other, but Ospreay sees this as MJF trying to worm his way into becoming AEW World Champion again. When MJF mentions Ospreay's son Harry, Ospreay grabs MJF, but is surrounded by The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP says they have business elsewhere, then wish Ospreay luck in his match before they leave. Lashley is the last to do so, as he straightens Ospreay's jersey out before walking away.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF) head to the ring. MVP is able to lead a chant for Lashley and Shelton, but when he does the same for MJF, MJF gets booed. MVP mentions Lashley once living in Denver, Colorado before living in Texas, but when asked of his opinion on Denver, Lashley gives Denver a thumbs down. MVP then says that anyone could put their dream team in front of The Hurt Syndicate, but their dream team could never remove the AEW World Tag Team Championships from them. He wants to know where the best tag teams are if AEW is where the best wrestle. MVP then says that the best is a figment of the fans' imagination, as nobody can beat The Hurt Syndicate for the tag team titles. He then gives the floor to MJF. MJF makes it known he wants gold just like Shelton and Lashley, and that he wants the AEW World Championship back, which means he will have to start wrestling a little bit more. He then addresses Grand Slam Mexico, and states that Mexico believes that their "supposed" top guy is Mistico. He then says that he, not Mistico, is the best wrestler in the world, and states that he sold out Arena Mexico and became the youngest to do so. MJF says this is because he is a megastar, then plugs Happy Gilmore 2 before stating that he sees Mistico as "a big fish in a small stinky pond." He then admits he feels philanthropic, and next week, he will watch Mistico's match. He then says that if he finds Mistico worthy, he just might face him at Grand Slam Mexico. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Knight and Komander show up for the next match. MVP calls them "White Sho Nuff," "Bruce Leeroy" and "The Blue Ranger," and Komander takes offense to MJF disrespecting him, Mexico and lucha libre before demanding a match with him. Speedball says that MVP demanded the best and that they have three "international killers" in front of them, much to MVP's laughter, and Kevin Knight says they want a fight with The Hurt Syndicate tonight. MVP declines the match, saying they have not earned it, and states that if they want an opportunity to stand against the tag team champions, they will have to earn it.



"Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Knight and Komander beat La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush, Dralistico, The Beast Mortos) in a trios match. After the match, The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF)returns, and MVP commends them before telling them they have won the prize, and next week, they will face MJF, Bobby and Shelton in a trios match. He then allows for a preview of the beating they will get. Lashley and Shelton get in the ring, but Speedball and Knight get the better of them, and when MJF gets in the ring, Komander joins in on the fun, and the three of them clean house.



Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Daniel Garcia and Paragon (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). Adam Cole says he and Garcia have had their battles in the past, but they have mutual respect and cannot stand The Don Callis Family, who he proposes that they fight tonight. Garcia admits that while he wants the TNT Championship, it can wait, and tells Adam Cole he will see him in the ring.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Mother Wayne, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne). Christian Cage says that the thin air in Denver, Colorado cuts off the circulation to the fans' brains, but they should still be smart enough to sit down and shut up while he conducts business. He says "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne had a strong showing at the Best of the Super Juniors, but did not win. Nevertheless, he will keep the momentum going despite facing 14 opponents in 22 days, and this time, the stakes are higher, as he will defend the Ring of Honor World Television Championship in a four-way match while he and Mother Wayne watch up close.

"Platinum" Max Caster is in the ring. He produces a petition declaring that he is the best wrestler alive and asks the referee in the ring to sign it, then gets his own chant going, this time successfully, although he claims it was bad. He then introduces the return of his five-minute open challenge, which is answered by Powerhouse Hobbs, who comes out of the crowd on his way to the ring.

Powerhouse Hobbs beats "Platinum" Max Caster in a 5-minute open challenge in 47 seconds.



Kenny Omega retains the AEW International Championship against Mascara Dorada, Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli in a four-way match.

Booker T is in the ring with Lash Legend, Fallon Henley, SoL Ruca, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan and "Michin" Mia Yim for the NXT Women's North American Champion for the Women's North American Championship summit. Michin says she had to be a part of this, as she knows what it takes and has been in a ladder match before and loved it, even though she had her face shattered, and she gets to be herself and walk out as champion. Jaida Parker says this is not "black and gold" and that she will leave Michin "black and blue." Fallon says she will be champion and that she will have to carry dead weight or care about feelings, but Kelani says Fallon's name is not on the title. She says that everyone is more than qualified, but that nobody is willing to do whatever it takes to become a champion and that her people need a champion like her. Sol Ruca says she was going to sit back and let everyone get their jabs and insult in, as everyone thinks that they are the one, but five of them are going to be wrong and five souls will be snatched. Lash Legend says she will not be snatched and that while it has been a rough couple of weeks, she will go from having potential to becoming a champion, and Jaida says he never thought Lash could think of anything but "Big Trick Willy." This starts a brawl, and Booker T gets out of the ring before it starts.

He then says that as amazing as winning the WWE Championship, the main thing is that he has inspired other people to reach their goals and do the impossible. We then see a video package of Kofi Kingston in Ghana. Kofi says that he was able to go back to his home country of Ghana after 26 years, and that the look in the eyes of young children who were in the same position he was in life and the ability to tell them they can do what they want to do is an amazing feeling. As Kofi talks about meeting family members he has not met in a long time as well as for the first time, Dolph Ziggler shows up and says he respects him too much for the sacrifices and the journey, then says it is about him. We see a video package of Dolph Ziggler's time in WWE and some of his greatest moments, then Ziggler says he gave everything including his soul to the fans only for Kofi to have the WrestleMania moment and the WWE Championship when it should have been him. He calls Kofi a hero, then says that everyone will one day realize that he is the hero of this story and that it should have been him. Kofi says nobody has ever said he has had a great career, for he knows what it is like to be passed over and that Ziggler beat him for an Intercontinental Championship and a United States Championship. Kofi then tells Ziggler he forgot one thing. We then see footage from the December 19, 2017 episode of SmackDown where Ziggler talked about how he has went unappreciated before vacating the WWE United States Championship. As the crowd chants "You walked out," Kofi says it could have been Ziggler, but Ziggler quit and walked out when things did not go his way, and he took himself out of the game. Kofi says that he never quit when things were at their worst, and that this is the difference between him and Ziggler. Kofi says that he never quit when things were at their worst, and that this is the difference between him and Ziggler. He then says that at Super Showdown, it will never be Ziggler. As the fans chant "quitter" at Ziggler, we then see a video package of Ziggler's attack on Kofi Kingston from two weeks ago before Ziggler says it will be him on Friday. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn show up for the next match and speak to Ziggler briefly before heading to the ring for the next match.





The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. After the match, Dolph Ziggler shows up again and superkicks both Kofi and Woods.



We hear from Shane McMahon, who says that his post-match attack on Roman Reigns on Raw was to prove he can hang with Roman, for whatever Roman can do, he can do better, for he is the best in the world. Shane says he will call out Roman later tonight, and he will see if he gets "The Big Dog" or a little dog with its tail between its legs.

It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. Alexa Bliss says it is an honor to be one of tonight's wild cards, then brings out tonight's special guest: Bayley. Alexa Bliss tastes her coffee only to find it is unsatisfactory, and as she waits for her coffee to come back, Bayley wants to answer some questions. Alexa says that Bayley had one good night, but Bayley says it took years to get to that one good night. This leads to Alexa talking about herself as she says that she agrees with Bayley, and says the SmackDown Women's title meant something when she held it. When she asks Bayley if the title means anything around her waist, Bayley says a lot has changed since they last saw each other and that she looks forward to the future. Alexa then tells Bayley to hold up as her coffee comes back. When Alexa gets her coffee back, Bayley slaps it out of her hand and the two of them argue. Carmella then shows up and says you can't have a title conversation without her and that Alexa can't just show up from Raw and challenge Bayley for the title. As Alexa Bliss takes that as a challenge towards her, Charlotte Flair shows up and says that Shane McMahon has announced that there will be a match tonight to dictate who will face Bayley for the SmackDown Women's title at Stomping Grounds. The match will be Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair.



Backstage, Carmella catches up with R-Truth, who says that he has been waiting to get back in touch with Shane McMahon. Shane gets back in touch, but when R-Truth talks to him, he has to apologize to him for interrupting his celebration. He then finds out he has a standard match for the WWE 24/7 Championship right now, then runs to the ring. He hands the phone to Carmella, who then finds out that this match has some stipulations.

Elias beats R-Truth in a lumberjack match to win the WWE 24/7 Championship for a second time. After the match, Elias manages to get away from everyone as they beat each other up, but he runs right into R-Truth as he crawls away. Both men crawl underneath the ring with a referee close behind. The bell rings again, and R-Truth wins the 24/7 Championship for a fourth time. R-Truth then flees through the crowd again.



We hear from Aleister Black, who says he offered what was tantamount to an open challenge, but either cowardice or intelligence has kept people from knocking on his door when he is not hard to find. He then says that as he speaks, he begins to understand, for his track record speaks for itself, and when he inflicts pain, it "isn't exactly your daddy's WWE." Until somebody does show up, he will be waiting impatiently until anybody decides to be a man and fights him.



Shane McMahon shows up with The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder). After Shane gets a "proper introduction" out of ring announcer Greg Hamilton, the crowd chants "CM Punk" as Shane states that last week was a great time and that The Revival were amazing. While he respects The Revival being in the ring with him for support, he asks for the footage of last night's post-match attack on Roman Reigns to be replayed again. Shane says that will be nothing compared to what he does to Roman at Super Showdown, and compares what he did last night to training a high-spirited male dog before saying he will neuter Roman until he lays at his heels. Suddenly, Roman shows up, and The Revival charge at him. Dawson receives a Superman Punch, and Wilder receives the same fate after being sent into the LED boards of the Minitron. Roman then makes his way to the ring, but he is attacked from out of nowhere with a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre. McIntyre gets Roman in the corner at Shane's command, and Shane hits Roman with another Spear before mocking him.



Alexa Bliss beats Carmella and Charlotte Flair to face Bayley for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship at Stomping Grounds. During the match, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville show up to get a closer look at the match, and their yanking on Carmella's feet distracts Carmella and allows Alexa to get the win.



Kayla Braxton interviews Lars Sullivan in the ring. When asked what drives him to do what he does, Sullivan asks Braxton if she would ask a nightingale why it sings or a lion why it stalks its prey before ripping it apart. He then asks why Braxton would ask what drives a man like him, and says he has come to realize that he is no man, for he has been described his entire life as a freak - a word that Sullivan asks Braxton to say. Sullivan says that when a lion performs a primary function, it is called a lion, but when he does it, he is called a freak, for his primary function is to obliterate people and show everyone that the world is full of pain, agony and a real-life freak of nature like him. When asked if this is what he will do to The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik) at Super Showdown, Sullivan asks Braxton if she likes nursery rhymes before comparing The Lucha House Party to three blind mice in the most painful way possible.



Andrade vs. Apollo Crews ends before it can begin when Andrade attacks Crews and hits him with a Hammerlock DDT. Finn Balor runs in and fights Andrade, but Andrade also hits him with a Hammerlock DDT after Zelina Vega runs interference.



Goldberg shows up. Goldberg says he has been waiting over 20 years to experience what it would be like to face The Undertaker, and now, he finally gets that match he has always wanted. He heard what 'Taker had to say, especially the bit about how he would rather face "Goldberg, the icon" instead of "Goldberg, the family man," and says it tripped a light switch in his head, as 'Taker is right. He says that he left the "family man" him at home. He guarantees The Undertaker that he will get the Goldberg he has wanted for 20 years and will get to see how he stacks up against him, and that The Undertaker will get the ass-kicking he asked for when they find out who the better man is, for 'Taker is next to rest in peace. The lights go out, and when they glow blue, Goldberg finds out The Undertaker is behind him. Both men have an intense staredown, and when the lights go out, The Undertaker disappears when the lights come back on. Goldberg tells The Undertaker to bring his jock strap and tie it up tonight, for Friday night will be a ride.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 4, 2018

Elias is in the ring at the start of tonight's show. Elias plays his guitar, then asks who wants to walk with him. He then says it should be no surprise he is the first face anyone sees tonight, as he is valuable to the company and he will become more valuable when he becomes the next WWE Intercontinental Champion. He says that Seth Rollins will soon learn that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias," then brags about what he did to him last week before saying he smashed one of his favorite guitars in the process and used the pain to write a new song he will sing right now. Footage of Elias clocking Seth Rollins in the back with a guitar from last week plays over and over as Elias sings about how he will win the Intercontinental title and mocks Rollins and the Houston Rockets. Seth Rollins then interrupts his song. Elias is ready to smack Rollins with his guitar again, but Rollins shows restraint and does not get into the ring right away. He walks around to the other side of the ring, then reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a steel chair. Rollins makes his way up to the apron and gets in with the steel chair, then both he and Elias have a stand-off where they circle the ring before they both swing at the same time. Elias loses his guitar, and Seth still has his steel chair. Suddenly, Jinder Mahal runs into the ring and blindsides Seth Rollins, and he and Elias gang up on Rollins. All of a sudden, Roman Reigns' music hits, and Jinder and Elias immediately focus on him. Reigns overpowers both them and Sunil Singh, then helps Seth Rollins up before General Manager Kurt Angle arrives. Angle says Elias and Jinder are not going anywhere tonight, because there will be a tag team match between them and the team of Rollins and Reigns right now.

Nia Jax is all alone in the ring after this, and she also looks concerned after what happened.



Renee Young interviews Bobby Roode backstage. Roode says he is ecstatic about being in his first Money In The Bank Ladder Match, and he thrives in the spotlight. He is excited about climbing the ladder and winning the contract, and when he gets his shot at becoming the next Universal Champion, it will be glorious. As for his match against Braun Strowman tonight, Roode admits he has never seen a man like Strowman and he will have to use every trick up his sleeve to beat him. Tonight, his goal is just to survive.

Braun Strowman beats Bobby Roode. During the match, Roode pulls out a ladder from underneath the ring and sets it up from the apron to the barricade, then goads Strowman into chasing him. He does, then Roode slides underneath the ladder to keep Strowman away only for Strowman to break the ladder with his bare hands.



Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens, who does not care about any of his Money In The Bank Ladder Match opponents, and says that as far as Finn Balor goes, everyone is clueless about his career failures. Owens says he is winning the Money In The Bank contract, and that he will reveal that Finn Balor is nothing more than "a made-up Irish myth."

In the trainer's room, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey checks on Natalya when Nia Jax shows up and Natalya. Ronda gets angry, and while Nia Jax says that Natalya is as every bit her friend as Ronda's, Natalya demands a moment to herself.



Renee Young interviews Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt in the ring. Bray says many men lust for power, as it is in their nature. He says it drives, deludes and ultimately destroys them. He then says that whoever faces them for the Raw tag team titles will not be facing men, but woken warriors, fireflies and gods, and they will truly understand what it means to be woken. Matt says he and Bray are magic, and that their essences have transcended space and time and stand as the Raw tag team champions. He says they are unmatched, unparalleled and unstoppable, and they have woken the entire WWE Universe. After asking Renee Young if she considers herself woken, Matt says this is wonderful and asks everyone to give Renee a "woken O." He then says it is time for the tag team battle royal to commence.

During the match, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre attack everyone else after Ziggler is eliminated, which in turn eliminated McIntyre automatically.



Bobby Lashley shows up. Lashley says Sami Zayn has been talking a lot of trash about him, but where he comes from, they handle it the old-fashioned away. He then calls Sami Zayn out, daring him to say what he has to say to his face. Sami Zayn's music hits, but Sami Zayn fails to show. Instead of coming out from the stage, he is seen in the crowd, refusing to get in the ring with Lashley after being attacked when he was not ready and having his hand broken. Sami then says he is such a brilliant performer that his brain never stops working and never stops scouting his opponents, and says he has used Instagram to find out what the real Lashley is like. He makes fun of the inspirational quotes that Lashley posts on his Instagram account, calling them close to "Sami Zayn levels of poetry." He then says that the "simple Texas folks" in the crowd think that Lashley is a good person due to these posts, but Sami calls himself "an intellectual" and says he sent an anonymous DM to Lashley where he got a link to a VIP-exclusive Bobby Lashley fan club. He then says it is all a cash grab to pay money for a Bobby Lashley headband and T-shirt, and says he is too smart to fall for his tricks. Lashley wants to know how many sock accounts Sami Zayn has, and thought Sami would meet him face-to-face. Sami says he does not talk face-to-face with liars, and Lashley says he does not know whether to laugh with him, laugh at him or feel sorry for him. As Sami leaves through the crowd, Sami says Lashley's reputation is a lie when Lashley mentions his reputation. Sami then questions whether or not Lashley was in the military, which makes Lashley angry. This ends the segment.



Charly Caruso interviews Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh. Jinder says Roman Reigns is a jealous, bitter man who senses his superiority and is threatened, and says that he has been given opportunities that belong to him, wasted them, and thinks there is a conspiracy against him. He says that this is why Roman tried to take him out of the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. However, the winds are changing, and soon, Roman will learn a storm is coming. Afterwards, Renee Young interviews Roman Reigns, who says that Jinder has forgotten who he is and what he has done in WWE, and that Jinder hasn't done anything lately but walk around and expect to be handed opportunities. Jinder takes offense to this statement and dares Roman to say it to his face, but Roman tells Jinder to shut his mouth. He then says he has no problem saying it to his face, and tells him to stay in the arena so he can shut his mouth for him. Roman eventually finds Jinder and Sunil Singh, and Roman knocks down Sunil before he and Jinder go at it. Officials and referees quickly move into place to separate both men.
