• A graphic opened the show in memory of the late, great Big Van Vader
  
• The show opened with Kurt Angle, who introduced HEY INTRODUCE BARON CORBIN TOO. The show opened with Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin, with Angle referencing a facebook post made by Paul Heyman that had created questions about Brock Lesnar.
  
• Roman Reigns came out, followed by Bobby Lashley, wanting to hear what was going on with Brock. They argued back and forth over who was best suited to face Brock. Kurt explained neither would, as Brock had pulled out of the match. Roman said this is what Brock does, but Lashley said that Brock was just sick and tired of Roman like everybody else. Reigns challenged Lashley to a match at Extreme Rules.
  
• The Revival came out and asked Kurt if they could have a match against Roman and Lashley, and Baron Corbin spoke up to agree on Angle's behalf.
  
• The Revival defeated Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley, after Reigns and Lashley failed to get on and Roman tagged himself in, wouldn't tag Lashley back in, knocked Lashley off the apron and then speared and pinned the wrong person, allowing Wilder to roll him up and hold the tights for the win. Lashley sarcastically applauded Roman for failing to finish the job.
  
• The Deleters of Worlds did a promo first congratulating and then threatening The B Team. The B Team responded with another parody of Matt and Bray.
  
• Rey Mysterio was announced as an unlockable character in WWE 2k19, with various wrestlers and finally Mysterio himself shown in the mask making comments about him.
  
• Curtis Axel defeated Matt Hardy in a surprisingly quick match which was sold as a result of a slip but seemed pretty clean. Afterwards Matt lead the crowd in a mocking standing ovation of Axel.
  
• A recap of last week's altercation between Sasha Banks and Bayley was shown, and then Sasha was seen arguing backstage with Kurt Angle.
  
• The Authors of Pain stormed around backstage, they bumped into Titus Worldwide and dismissed Titus' attempt to give them advice.
  
• Bayley welcomed Alicia Fox back, I believe the first time she has been seen since screaming at a Tiki-themed Turd Golem on Wrestlemania weekend? Kurt Angle told Bayley she would tag with Ember Moon AND Sasha Banks tonight.
  
• The Authors of Pain destroyed a couple of jobbers. Titus Worldwide ran out to confront them but AoP left.
  
• Finn Balor showed up backstage and cracked some jokes at Corbin's expense. BRAUN arrived and mentioned to Kurt that since Kevin Owens had offered to be his friend last week, he wanted to give it a shot. Angle agreed, and BRAUN said he'd like to face Finn Balor... and Baron Corbin.
  
• Alexa Bliss came out with Mickie James to revel in being the Women's Champion again AND Ronda Rousey being suspended. She mocked Nia, saying that she'd felt winning at Wrestlemania was HER feel-good story, but it turned out Alexa was the real hero of the story. Nattie came out and Alexa mocked her too, until Nattie revealed she had a match scheduled against Alexa, and would have Nia in her corner.
  
• Nattie defeated Alexa in a non-title match, after Mickie interfered which distracted the referee, which allowed Nia to also interfere and trip Alexa, allowing Nattie to put her into the sharpshooter. Mickie cradled Alexa like a baby after the match.
  
• Seth Rollins was interviewed and said that Drew McIntyre would have the best seat in the house to see Seth win back his Intercontinental Title from Dolph Ziggler in the main event.
  
• The Riott Squad wrecked up the joint while Jinder Mahal was doing a photoshoot, but Jinder was composed, saying he's now all about peace.
  
• The Riott Squad defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon. Ruby Riott scored a small package win on Sasha. Immediately post-match, Bayley went ballistic and beat the utter poo poo out of Sasha, but the crowd popped huge and were chanting for Bayley and treating her like absolutely 100% the babyface.
  
• Kevin Owens begged Kurt Angle not to team him with BRAUN, convinced that BRAUN wanted to eat him. Kurt assured Kevin that he was sure the two could be friends.
  
• Mojo Rawley vs No Way Jose never happened, as Mojo said the conga line was ridiculous and Jose wasn't worthy of a match. The crowd cheered for one of the entourage - Todd - after learning his name. Mojo laid out Jose with a punch and Jose got back up and did... nothing.
  
• Kurt Angle accused Bayley of not caring about the Women's Evolution, and demanded she undertake counselling or be fired. The crowd booed Kurt.
  
• BRAUN and Kevin Owens defeated Finn Balor and Baron Corbin by countout, after Corbin/Balor got into an argument and ended up fighting up the ramp. Owens got freaked out by Strowman and ran away, hiding in the locker room and then taking off for his car after BRAUN went the wrong way looking for the guy "with a bowling ball under his shirt". Owens ran to get the keys to his car, but BRAUN had them, and revealed he had flipped Owens' car before leaving with a laugh.
  
• Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler had a really loving good match that went 30+ minutes and was building to a fantastic crescendo... and then Drew McIntyre (who had been ejected earlier by the ref) showed up and hauled Seth out of the ring, causing a DQ.
  
• Dolph and Drew were gonna put a beating on Seth when Roman's music hit (and got a really big pop) and he came down and speared the absolute gently caress out of Dolph as he tried to intercept him.
  
• Seth was announced as the winner, but Dolph's music played out the show after Jojo reminded the crowd that Dolph was STILL the Intercontinental Champion.
  

• MizTV opened the show, with Miz inviting out The Bludgeon Brothers and trying very nervously to interview them. They simply stood and ignored him so he went on a rant about Daniel Bryan, until they slapped the mic out of his hand and looked set to attack him. Daniel Bryan came out, told Miz to shut up, and demanded to know which of the three wanted to fight him first. Rowan was going to respond but Harper took the lead, warning Bryan he was going to teach him when enough was enough.
  
• New Day was backstage, where Mr. Bootyworth blended some pancakes and gave them to Xavier Woods to drink.
  
• Rusev defeated Xavier in a singles match that was kicked off by the two sharing taunts over Social Media about Rusev's long history of beating Xavier. He once again managed to force Xavier to tap to the Accolade. Rusev did a promo saying tonight was all about AJ Styles, who he knew was scared of him, and he was going to take the title from him.
  
• Jeff Hardy did a promo in creepy face makeup, ahead of his US Title open challenge after Shinsuke Nakamura had to pull out due to - I poo poo you not - being bit by a police dog.
  
• Naomi and Lana met with the cast of GLOW and had a remarkably awkward mutual admiration society meeting. Kharma was not present but Alison Brie was, and ended the segment with a freeze frame.
  
• Eric Young from Sanity answered Jeff Hardy's US Title Open Challenge.
  
• Eric Young vs Jeff Hardy ended with a DQ victory to Eric Young after the Usos jumped the rest of Sanity at ringside several minutes into the match. Young hauled an Uso into the ring and got taken down by him, which caused the ref to call for the bell. Jeff joined the Usos in fighting Sanity.
  
• Jeff Hardy and the Usos defeated Sanity in a Six Man Tag. The crowd was really into the match and especially the finish, with the Usos setting up a dive on Young and Dain outside the ring, freeing Jeff to hit the Swanton Bomb on Alexander Wolfe and get the pin.
  
• Becky had originally been scheduled to face Peyton Royce, but the match was changed at some point to be against Sonya Deville, with them shooting an angle "earlier today" in which Sonya and Mandy mocked Becky backstage and Sonya answered Becky's challenge to fight.
  
• Becky defeated Sonya, submitting her with the Disarmer after Mandy Rose got knocked down and wasn't able to interfere.
  
• James Ellsworth was backstage playing with his Asuka mask. He bumped into Tye Dillinger who explained that with the mask he is a 10, without it he is a 1.
  
• Zelina did a promo with Andrade, saying they'd put Sin Cara on the shelf and now he'd had no new challenges because everybody was scared of him, which they should be. She advised everybody to stay out of his way.
  
• Ellsworth came to the ring to call out Asuka, dropping a lot of MRA-style lines. Paige answered his challenge, pointing out that he was only acting brave because he had been seen going around confirming Asuka wasn't there. She informed him that Carmella would defend her title against Asuka at Extreme Rules. Ellsworth decided that she'd only come out because she had a thing for him, and asked her on a date. Paige agreed to a date next Tuesday, but when he accepted she explained it was actually a match, and it wouldn't be with her but against Asuka.
  
• Harper did a silent "promo", and then Daniel Bryan was showing warming up with help from Luke Gallows, while Karl Anderson stood in the background flexing his abs.
  
• Daniel Bryan beat Luke Harper by DQ after getting Harper into the Yes Lock only for Rowan to jump him, causing the DQ (just like with Eric Young/Jeff Hardy and Seth Rollins/Dolph Ziggler).
  
• Rowan and Harper were putting a beating on Daniel Bryan when KANE of all people returned.
  
• Kane beat on Harper and Rowan but they got the better of him due to numbers, only for Bryan to recover and save Kane this time. The two faced off as the crowd chanted,"TEAM HELL NO!" and "HUG IT OUT!"
  
• Kane stepped towards a suspicious Bryan and threw his arms wide for a hug. Bryan declined and Kane looked sad, but the crowd chanted YES! till he finally hugged Kane to a big pop.
  
• Paige cut off the celebration to make an announcement: The Bludgeon Brothers would defend their Tag Team Titles at Extreme Rules against Team Hell No!
