Jacy Jayne heads to the ring alone. She asks that everyone pretend that last week's match did not happen, as nothing about it really matters because she has been NXT Women's Champion for over 100 days. Jacy says she has gotten rid of every single label that everyone has tried to put on her, calling them all "so cute" and "so wrong," while stating that it is laughable that everyone thinks Lola Vice will dethrone her. She calls Lola Vice "a crossover act pretending to be a wrestler in [her] division," and while Lola has a good Instagram and has improved since she showed up, she is not ready to be champion. Jacy also mentions that Lola may have the hometown advantage, but she is the one who shocked the world and that she, not Lola, is the underdog in this story after busting her ass to the top while Lola was shaking her ass. She says that nothing and nobody is going to save Lola and that her moment will not be ruined, then Lola shows up and says that she actually has an ass compared to Jacy, then says Jacy has always needed someone to win while she did not. She also says that she was knocking women out to earn her opportunity while Jacy Jayne was on the rise, and that this time, she is a completely different person compared to a year ago when she last wrestled for the NXT Women's title. She says that she is not winning the title not just for herself, her family and her culture, but also her fans, and at No Mercy, she will knock Jacy Jayne out and become champion. Jacy says Lola might beat her ass, but she can see her and she knows Lola has been looking for validation from her family, and she will still be walking out champion while Lola tells her parents that their sacrifices were for nothing. She says that she will walk out champion while Lola will walk out her family's biggest disappointment, and that leads to Lola knocking Jacy out with a spinning back fist.

Fish jokes that the heat has been heat on him recently and that he has turned into a bit of a lightning rod for controversy, which surprises him as he has never considered himself a problem or a controversial guy and just a guy who does his job well. He says that after more than twenty years, he is "not here for the bullshit," and says that Impact Wrestling cannot fire him for saying "bullshit" because he does not work here. Nevertheless, he has kept an eye on the locker room, as he has never been afraid to call somebody out for being "less than legit," then says the locker room is "full of legit dudes" that he knows will step between the ropes and give everything they have got and are not here "faking the funk." Bobby Fish says he is here to pick a fight, then Raj Singh and Shera show up. Raj Singh tells Bobby Fish he cannot just walk in and talk the trash that he has been talking, but Fish tells him that he just did. Singh and Shera get in the ring before Singh tells Fish that Shera is legit and will gladly rip your head off, and all Fish has to do is tell him when so he can slot him into "that slap schedule." Fish asks Singh if he is supposed to know who he is, then asks who Shera is. Singh calls Fish arrogant and a punk before shoving him, then Fish fends off Singh and Shera with ease before putting Singh in the fish hook.

Paul Heyman dictates that the entire universe belongs to Roman Reigns, and after stating that Drew McIntyre has another bridge to cross, he then addresses Solo Sikoa. He admits it was not his or Roman's idea for him to be in The Bloodline, but one of the elders of the dynasty for him to be there, and says someone has to stop the conspiracies against Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman then proclaims that the already-unstoppable Bloodline is even more unstoppable now that Solo Sikoa is their enforcer, which allows The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) to pursue tag team greatness, history and immortality. Jimmy Uso says that he and Jey will still be the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions, but as Jey says that they are the ones, Roman glances at him, and Jey hands him his microphone. Roman addresses Solo, who says that while the elders may have sent him, he will answer to him. He tells Solo to acknowledge him. Solo says "I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief," and both men hug. As everyone leaves, Sami Zayn interrupts him, and says that while he is not technically blood, he says that the way that The Bloodline has taken him in has led him to publicly acknowledge Roman, which he does. Roman tells Sami he likes him, then asks him why he is saying anything and why he even has their shirt on and is even with them to begin with. He then tells Roman to take the shirt off, with Jey even demanding he take the shirt off. Sami asks if this has anything to do with last week's press conference, but Roman demands he remove the Bloodline shirt that he is wearing. Jey soon rips the shirt off, and Roman tells Sami to listen to him for once and tells him not to wear one of their shirts again. He then says that he got him a new one, which he hands to Sami. It reads "SZ HONORARY UCE." Sami puts it on and thanks The Bloodline, then tells Roman "I acknowledge you, Tribal Chief." Both men hug.

McIntyre shows off the leather strap in his hand and says that their match will be one designed to inflict maximum pain, and says that their match at Extreme Rules will be a Strap Match.

Gallows says that just because they are on an island, that does not mean they can keep up on all the other tag teams via the Internet, and that they will have no problem taking down their opposition.

Mickie James heads to the ring. Mickie says it was a huge honor to come back at Slammiversary and that it is great to be back in "the land of Hardcore Country," but her intentions were less about herself and more about putting over the present and future of women's wrestling. She says it was great to get Deonna Purrazzo involved, but a lot of things have changed since then due to Purrazzo's unprofessional behavior, and that is was nice to give her a receipt. Mickie asks Purrazzo to come to the ring, and Deonna shows up and heads to the ring. Purrazzo takes offense to Mickie attacking her at NWA 73, and Mickie says that she can see through Purrazzo and that she is a fighter and not an executive producer anymore.

He then gives Cody one week to answer his challenge.

Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) show up. Matt Hardy talks about the attack on him from behind from last week, and says he has been thinking about who would do this, as he had a heated argument with MJF and a confrontation with Brodie Lee over the TNT Championship, not to mention a grudge with The Inner Circle. He says that his attacked may have been wearing a mask and that they may have used something like a pipe or a bat to hit him. He then mentions Chris Jericho and Jake Hager strolling in with Jericho holding a bat, and calls Jericho his prime suspect. He then says that Private Party tore the house down against Jericho and Hager and came close to beating them only because they used that same bat as a weapon. He then mentions Jericho putting Isiah Kassidy in the Walls of Jericho to add insult to injury, and says that regardless of what Jericho wants to be called, he will always be known as an asshole. Jericho shows up with Hager, Santana and Ortiz, then mentions what Matt did to Sammy Guevara, saying that he has no idea when Guevara will never show back up in AEW again only to reveal he lied and brings out Guevara. Jericho says the idea of him hitting Matt from behind is ridiculous, and says that if he wanted to take his leg out with a bat, he would do it in front of him so Matt would see the happiness in his eyes as he did. Jericho says he did not attack with the bat last week, but he will do it right now. Matt Hardy says he will fight the entire Inner Circle, but Marq Quen stops Matt, saying they need him and to take as much time as he needs to get better and get cleared, because he is cleared. Quen tells Jericho he laid him out last week after ambushing Kassidy, who then takes the microphone and says that while he appreicates Matt and Quen sticking up for him, this is on him. He says that Jericho may have beaten him last week, he almost beat him twice. Kassidy then challenges Jericho to a one-on-one match next week, and ponders what would happen if a 23-year-old from the streets of Brooklyn, New York not only beat Jericho, but makes him his bitch.

Tony Schiavone interviews Tully Blanchard and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring.

As Harwood says that Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) had their shot and that they are just "glorified backyard wrestlers," Best Friends show up. Chuck Taylor says their match last week was a war, and Trent says that while he and Chuck are banged up, they might as well have their twenty-minute challenge now. Harwood brings out a referee, and this starts a match...almost. Wheeler then says that they cannot do this, as Best Friends are not at 100% and they are fighting champions, and gives Best Friends a few weeks to heal up. Chuck Taylor says that Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) did not run from a fight like "a couple of weenies" unlike FTR, and says that if FTR do not want to fight, they will show how a hug is done before he and Trent do the trademark Best Friends hug.

Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa beat Ivelisse and Diamante.

Backstage, Dasha interviews Chris Jericho, who says he has respect for Isiah Kassidy for having the balls to take matters into his own hands, and while Kassidy will be a big star, it won't be next week, as he is facing the biggest star in him and the only shot that Kassidy will feel is from his fists. Suddenly, MJF shows up and says that the idea of Kassidy disrespecting Jericho is deplorable. Jericho says that means a lot to him coming from MJF, and MJF says that Jericho saying this means an awful lot to him. Both men tell each other that they are pretty great repeatedly before simultaneously asking each other why they called each other "losers." Jericho says he was calling Tony Schiavone a loser, not MJF, and both men have a laugh before telling each other "You're alright."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 23, 2019

Seth Rollins shows up to start tonight's show. Rollins says he has done and seen a lot in the last seven years, but he has never felt the way that he felt last week when the living embodiment of a nightmare came close to his face when he had no fight left in him. He kept hoping it was not a bad dream, but it was not, and in two weeks, he now has to defend the WWE Universal Championship against The Fiend. As he states that he knows what Hell In A Cell does, facing Bray Wyatt in the structure is a completely different story. As for what he can do, he has to survive and prevail like he always has even when nobody gave him a chance. Suddenly, Braun Strowman - one of the Superstars Rollins stated he has survived and prevailed against - shows up. Strowman tells Rollins that if he has something to say to him, he had better say it to his face, as he does not pretend to be Mr. Rodgers while playing with puppets, and says that he meets his opponents head on and suggest Rollins do the same. As for statements from Rollins concerning a WWE Universal Championship rematch, Rollins tells Strowman he has misconstrued his comments, and that it makes him want to fight him tonight. Strowman asks if this is a challenge, to which Rollins replies that it is.

She says she cannot make history by herself, and that is why she wants Sasha in a Hell In A Cell Match. She says the match is not to keep Bayley out, but to keep Sasha in, and in order for Sasha to escape, she has to go through her.

Both of them admit that they have become Seth Rollins fans and want to share the action figure. Bray Wyatt talks about the negative aspects of being too attached to something, such as disappointment, neglect and loneliness. Ramblin' Rabbit then says they do not want The Fiend to hurt Seth Rollins, but Bray Wyatt proposes that maybe The Fiend wants to protect Seth Rollins. He then breaks the Seth Rollins action figure in half.

R-Truth and Carmella run to the ring, and other Superstars run towards the ring. Carmella stops everyone, then grabs a microphone, saying she and R-Truth cannot take the running anymore. R-Truth says they will get out of this one, but Carmella says she cannot let her guard down for one second and she cannot do this anymore. R-Truth hugs her, then Carmella pins R-Truth to win the WWE 24/7 Championship. R-Truth celebrates with Carmella, but then female Superstars show up.
