Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and is met by General Manager Adam Pearce, who says that none of this would have happened if Roman listened to him.

He says he has been spinning his wheels figuring out how to do it, and says the easiest way to get through a problem is to run right through it. Rollins then realizes he has not had a match on Raw in nine months, and that this should change tonight. He says that General Manager Adam Pearce has given him the main event, and he will use it to throw a challenge to The Vision, especially Bron Breakker, as he cannot tell if he is a "nepo baby," "a wad of wasted potential," or everything Breakker says he is.

Ethan says his ego is really confidence and that he will prove that he is better than the rest of WWE.

Dawkins says there is a reason The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) are tough and have the World Tag Team titles, but Montez says The Street Profits have a vision of becoming the new World Tag Team Champions at Saturday Night's Main Event. Suddenly, Dawkins notices Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, and Montez makes the decision not to get involved. Dawkins tells Rollins that they do not need to be friends, but Rollins says he gets it and thanks Dawkins for understanding. He then says he has a match right now.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins beats Austin Theory with the Pedigree when Theory's use of Logan Paul's brass knuckles backfires and Rollins is able to hit the Pedigree when Theory cannot pin him.

MJF and Shawn Spears head to the ring. MJF says he is looking at a bunch of "dumb, grotesque fatheads" before telling Wardlow that if he retaliates while getting his ten lashes, they will not have their match and Wardlow will never sign an AEW contract. Wardlow is then brought out to the ring by security, and MJF spits in his face to bait him into retaliating, but to no avail. The ten lashes then begin, but after just two lashes have no effect, MJF is absolutely livid while Wardlow is unfazed. After fix quick lashes from an angry MJF, Shawn Spears hits the eighth one.

Jericho then comes to the conclusion that William Regal orchestrated the attack on him, then congratulates Regal on still being alive and still having a brain that works after all that he has been through. Jericho then calls William Regal "wasted potential," saying Regal could and should have been one of the greatest of all time only to end up "a world-class addict" who was fired from every company he ever worked for until he weaseled into AEW off the coattails of his proteges. He then states that Regal has a great set of proteges, then says Santana and Ortiz have everything they do in AEW because of him and that Eddie Kingston is too stupid to stay home and care for his family after he burned his face. After telling Eddie to tell his wife to call him, Jericho states that Bryan Danielson is the greatest wrestler in the world today who is nothing more than "a squeaky clean nerd" who will "join the program with Moxley" after Regal introduces him to drugs. Jericho calls everyone in the ring "a royal flush of losers" and warns Jericho to stay home and out of their business before he either throws a fireball in his face or pisses in his tea again. Regal says that ever since he first met Jericho in 1997, he has had to deal with his annoying voice and that the only thing that could make him sicker is screams from a burning orphanage. He admits Jericho may have told some truths about his past, but for every single time that he was on a show with him and was not wrestling him, he would go to his locker room, open his bag, take his toothbrush and stick it up his arse. When Daniel Garcia calls Regal out for it, Regal tells him he did it to his toothbrush last week. Jericho then says if Regal wants a fight, he will get it. Moxley interrupts him, saying he will not be sucked into Jericho's sports entertainment vortex. He says that instead of a Stadium Stampede match, he proposes they have their match in front of an arena of screaming fans until the Society bleeds like stuck pigs in "pro wrestling versus sports entertainment" and "the sport we love versus stupid bullshit." Jericho says if they want anarchy, they've got it, then brings up Moxley and Santana's "Eye For An Eye Match" as well as Danielson and Eddie Kingston's past history.

As he mentioned AEW's coming third anniversary, Serena Deeb shows up and says she is sick and tired of hearing him talk, then says Tony states she could not beat Thunder Rosa at Double or Nothing. Serena congratulates Tony Schiavone into making himself a complete idiot in one interview, then calls out Dustin Rhodes for comments she has made about her and tells him to come to the ring. It does not take long at all for Dustin to show up. Serena says Dustin is as much of an idiot as Tony and says Jim Ross is the only one with brain cells around here, then calls Thunder Rosa "Dustin's teacher's pet" and says she respected him, stating she got none in the business after getting breast implants to satisfy some "old perverts" and shaving her head to show how bad she wanted it. Serena then asks Dustin why he said that she could not beat Thunder Rosa, and when she does not give an answer, Serena says he cannot answer because he does not have the balls to. She then says that when she become AEW Women's World Champion, Dustin will respect her. Thunder Rosa shows up just before Serena slaps Dustin, and when Dustin holds Thunder Rosa back, Serena hits Thunder Rosa with the women's world championship belt.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 18, 2020

Charly Caruso introduces Randy Orton into the ring to start tonight's show. Orton asks why "straight-up wrestling match" is so hard to comprehend, as WWE is wrestling. He says that he and Edge tore each other apart at WrestleMania and that Edge was the better man, but he knows that Edge is not the superior wrestler; he is. Orton says he can prove that, and all he needs is the ring and a referee, and while competitors are a dime a dozen, not all of them can do what he can do in the ring. He then says that Edge did not accept his challenge last week because he saw doubt in his eyes, and that the grit and passion he had has faded away into doubt and fear. Suddenly, Edge shows up. Edge says that Orton spoke a lot of truths and gave him a lot to contemplate and internalize, and knows that he is playing chess to keep him from rushing into his next moves. He then says this is a game and a paycheck to Orton. Edge once again admits that Orton is the most talented person he has seen in the wrestling ring, but he was handed his career and he did not choose it, saying that Orton was not a big wrestling fan like him. He also says that Orton has never had a career-ending injury he had to fight back from for years or had the same amount of passion that he did. Orton interrupts and demands an answer as to whether he will accept his challenge. Edge accepts.

Seth Rollins and Murphy show up. Rollins that sometimes in life, you have to lose who you are to truly find yourself, and when he lost to Drew McIntyre last Sunday, part of him thought that he had lost everything, and he fell into a place so dark that he was not sure if he would ever escape. He then says that without darkness, there can be no light, and he has seen the light and it is brighter than it has ever been before, and it is thanks to Rey Mysterio. He then says that what happened to Rey has been described as heinous, disgusting and unforgivable as well as an act of penance paid to him for Rey's disbelief in him, but he does not see it that way at all. As he sees it, what happened to Rey was unfortunate but necessary, and a sacrifice for the greater good as it gave him the clarity needed to make him the leader he was meant to be. Rollins then says he wants to take this moment to speak to Rey directly, and while Rey is at home healing with his family, he will come to understand that what happened to him was a blessing to disguise. Rollins then says "You're welcome" to Rey, then Humberto Carrillo shows up. Carrillo says that nobody believes Rollins, and says that Rey is a hero to millions as well as his idol. He calls Rollins a coward, then gets in the ring only to be blocked by Murphy. Rollins applauds Carrillo for standing up for Rey, but he is not dressed for a fight. He then says that Murphy has a later on tonight with Aleister Black, but if he wants a fight, Murphy will be happy to oblige.

Kairi Sane runs down Asuka's previous championship accolades before telling her she has become a Grand Slam Champion. Kairi then plays music on a recorder before Nia Jax shows up. Nia says there is nothing to celebrate, as Asuka was handed the title because she couldn't fight anymore, and tells her she will be replaced by someone far more worthy of the championship: her. She says their showdown will end only one day, and that there will be a real party when she is champion. Kairi approaches Nia Jax slightly, and this allows Asuka to attack Nia Jax and send her into a retreat.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews King Corbin. Corbin says Drew McIntyre might be WWE Champion, but he is no king, and as he says he chose tonight's match and that he carried him for over a year, McIntyre watches him backstage as he says that McIntyre is dangerous. Corbin says that McIntyre still has the potential to make mistakes, and he will take advantage of him and make it so that when they meet again, it will be for the WWE Championship.

R-Truth is in the ring. He says that Bobby Lashley has been "a bad, bad, bad man," and after footage of Lashley with MVP is shown, he says he does not want to be put in "Nelson from The Simpsons" again, and says his childhood hero John Cena would never give up against Lashley.

Backstage, Zelina Vega tells Andrade, Angel Garza and Austin Theory that they will all be on the same page.

It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guests are Zelina Vega, Andrade, Angel Garza and Austin Theory. After sarcastically thanking Natalya for "getting all the crap out of the way," he admits he has not been around for a while and says that his WrestleMania moment came at the cost of getting banged up, but he is good to go and he is back. He says that while the set is reduced tonight, tonight's show is a major edition, and he introduces Zelina, Andrade, Garza and Theory onto the show. Zelina says Owens is expecting a "Jerry Springer show" tonight, and that she is sick of everyone thinking one argument means that her empire is crumbling, then says that Andrade is a god among insects and a real champions. She says that Angel Garza breaks faces as well as hearts and calls Austin Theory a 23-year-old prodigy before saying that she is on the come-up. When asked by Zelina why he is not in the ring, Owens mentions what has gone on the last few months with his show, mentioning that things always eventually get heated and somebody always gets beaten up. He then says he does not want the ring to be too crowded for his next guest: Apollo Crews, who rushes into the ring and attacks Andrade.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Drew McIntyre, who says that he is having a great time and that Monday nights are always a great time for a Claymore party. He says that the brand-to-brand invitational has allowed for dream matches, and one has fallen into his match with King Corbin, whom he knows well. He says that he is a terrible human being who does terrible things to his opponent and that he will do anything to win a match, but he has a special Claymore fit for a king with Corbin's name on it.

We see footage of the ax throwing competition between Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik). When Montez Ford throws an axe, it goes way off target.

In footage from earlier today, the axe throwing competition between Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) officially begins. The Viking Raiders score bullseye after bullseye, but The Street Profits come up short as the Raiders make it look easy. Street Profits eventually score a point, but the game is broken up by two cops who want to know who put a throwing axe throw their windshield. When Angelo Dawkins does a perfect behind-the-back bullseye, Ivar and Erik are dumbfounded.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Apollo Crews, who felt that things were falling in place before his injury and that he had to look inside himself and make something happen. He then says the last piece will fall into place as he challenges Andrade for the United States Championship, then Zelina Vega shows up and tells him to either stay out of the ring and keep his ring, or face Andrade and never walk again. Apollo tells Zelina to tell Andrade to be ready next week, then says he will walk out next week as United States Champion.

In footage from earlier today, one of the two police officers let Street Profits and The Viking Raiders off with a warning only because Ivar is cute. (Erik...not so much.)

After MVP speaks highly of both Drew McIntyre and King Corbin, MVP gives Lashley the floor.
