Raw Results:
- Raw opened with Smackdown star Roman Reigns, who has only missed one Raw since being "drafted" to Smackdown a few weeks back. Shane McMahon came out soon after to cut a long promo about what he would do to Roman at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia. Roman shut him up and said Shane got by with help from others, but he would beat Shane at blood money and then two weeks later he would beat Drew at Stomping Grounds.
- Drew came out to warn Roman he would destroy him at Stomping Grounds but for tonight he wasn't going to wait for his partners and would fight Roman right now. This was a distraction for the Revival to jump Roman from behind, and the Usos raced out to back up Roman, kicking off the six-man tag that was scheduled for later in the night.
- Drew McIntyre and The Revival defeated Roman Reigns and the Usos in a 6-man-tag, the match most notable for the crowd doing a,"WE WANT ROMAN!" chant when he was on the apron. Postmatch, The Revival hit Roman with the Shatter Machine and then Drew hit him with the Claymore Kick. Shane then had them hold Roman up and hit him with the Spear, mocking his,"HOO-AAAHHH!" pose afterwards.
- Matthew McConnaughey and Lance Armstrong were shown at ringside. The commentators refered to drugs cheat Lance Armstrong as one of the greatest cyclists of all time instead of a cheating piece of poo poo who financially ruined the journalist who tried to expose him.
- MizTV featured Seth Rollins as a guest, asking what he thought about Brock allegedly cashing in his MITB briefcase tonight. Seth said it would be a relief if Brock did cash in, because he was tired of not being able to focus his mind on a single challenger. At that moment, a limo arrived and Brock and Paul stepped out with the (regular) briefcase prepared to cash in... then Brock said,"Nah" and they walked off backstage instead, apparently to make Seth wait just a little longer.
- Lucha House Party came out for a tag team match up against <FILE NOT FOUND> and were "surprised" when literal White Supremacist Lars Sullivan came out to fight them. He beat them up but eventually they were able to turn the numbers against him, hitting a pretty cool Triple Dropkick to knock him out of the ring where he roared in a rage at the thought of minorities sticking up for themselves.
- The IIconics made fun of Nikki Cross backstage for being a miniature puppy who was desparate for anybody to play with her. Alexa Bliss showed up and told them to gently caress off, and they left laughing, and she told Nikki that she didn't mind if Nikki wanted to be friends with Becky instead of her considering her past of screwing friends over. Nikki said she didn't care about the past and wanted to be friends with Alexa, who happily suggested being her second in her match against Peyton Royce.
- Becky came out to a big pop and talked about the changes she wanted to make after all her recent accomplishments. She said she'd never been so content in her life, but she knew that was a problem because content fighters make mistakes. She singled out Lacey Evans for screwing her out of her Smackdown title, and promised she would do everything she could to exact revenge.
- Lacey walked out and said she intended to take away Becky's remaining belt, saying Becky was the wrong woman to represent HER division. Charlotte came out and mocked Becky, reminding her she won the Smackdown title from Becky, and was embarassed when Becky pointed out she immediately lost it to Bayley.
- Lacey and Charlotte went back and forth on the mic, Becky almost entirely forgotten though she was standing in the ring the entire time. Lacey hit Charlotte with a sneak attack and a ref asked Becky to leave the ring so the two could fight. Becky stood outside looking bemused as they fought. The crowd chanted,"WE WANT BECKY!" as Lacey and Charlotte had a really, really rough brawl.
- Charlotte and Lacey had a tremendously awful match and finally Becky had enough and hauled Charlotte out of the ring to give Lacey the DQ win. Becky got in and knocked down Lacey, then posed with the belt over her. This was phenomenally awful.
-
- Rey Mysterio came out and talked about his large son Dominic being in training to continue the family legacy in wrestling, and how proud that made him. To set a good example himself, he was here to do the right thing with the US Title he was too injured to defend. Before he could relinquish it though, Samoa Joe came out and told him he needed to tell the truth: he never beat Joe for the title, because Joe's shoulders weren't down when the pinfall was counted! Rey demanded he give him a moment, then admitted he was here to relinquish the US Title... to Samoa Joe. Joe was surprised but pleased as Rey lay the belt down between them for him to pick up, telling Joe he'd be back for another shot at it when he was healed. As he left the ring though, Joe jumped him and choked Rey out before taking his belt and posing happily with it.
- BRAUN! came out for an arm-wrestling match with Bobby Lashley. Michael Cole pointed out that it has been a long time since there was an arm-wrestling match on Raw... gee I wonder loving why?
-
- Pre-taped promos by Cesaro and Ricochet aired where they talked about how they were going to beat the other.
- After playing the video posted on social media of Jinder temporarily winning the 24/7 title from R-Truth on a golf course only to lose it straight back, Carmela was shown backstage being followed by Drake Maverick. He told a miserable looking ECIII to follow Carmela since she would lead them to R-Truth.
- BRAUN! won the arm-wrestling contest with Lashley, then shoved him, then Lashley threw chalk in his eyes and hit BRAUN!'s own finisher on him.
- Nikki defeated Peyton Royce in a singles match. Alexa was at ringside and became livid after Billie Kay spilled Alexa's coffee and knocking her rear end first into the puddle in white jeans. Alexa attacked Billie and Peyton afterwards, and Nikki raised her arm and celebrated with her over "their" victory.
- Seth came back out to the ring to complain that everybody was sick of Brock playing games. Brock's music played but he didn't come out, enraging Seth further at Brock using the briefcase in the same way it has been used by literally everybody else who has ever held it outside of maybe RVD. He dared Brock to prove he was still the most feared man on the planet and come out and cash in right now.
- Baron Corbin came out instead.
- Baron Corbin.
- They got in each other's face and fought, and Corbin hit the End of Days on Seth. Brock immediately came out, kicking Seth in the balls when he tried to charge him. Brock suplexed Seth and took his shirt off as Heyman screamed for him to cash in now, but Brock snapped back,"Not now!" as he continued to beat the poo poo out of Seth and hit him with the F5 outside the ring.
- Heyman continued to plead with Brock to cash in as he smashed Rollins with a chair, but Brock just told him,"FRIDAY!" (the blood money show in Saudi Arabia) before leaving the ring. He suddenly tore the briefcase from Heyman and went back to the ring, attacking Seth with the briefcase as the crowd chanted,"ONE MORE TIME!" before finally leaving.
- Seth was strapped to a stretcher and taken out of the ring, with the crowd finally clapping to show their support for him. After the break, he was put into the back of an ambulance, joined by Becky Lynch, and taken to a "local medical facility".
- A Very Special Episode of Firefly Funhouse aired, as a serious Bray said he needed to talk on a serious subject: EXERCISE! He put on a sweatband and joined new puppet Huskus the Pig Boy, a little german piggy who only wanted to eat chocolate (I feel ya, Huskus). Bray told "Huskus" that one day he would get his act together and have "the whole world in his hands", making a clear reference to Husky Harris becoming Bray Wyatt. A devil puppet of Vince McMahon showed up to fire them and Bray did a music exercise video of "the muscleman dance" to change his mind, with one brief pause in between where he looked directly into the camera and hissed at the audience to erase their minds.
- Opinions are subjective but the Firefly Funhouse loving rules.
- HHH came to the ring to talk about his match at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia. The crowd chanted,"NXT!" at him, but before he could speak Orton came out. They talked each other up but said they'd beat the other in their heatless, uninteresting match at the blood money show. Orton told HHH to get his balls back from Stephanie before the match, HHH said Orton never had any to begin with.
- Baron Corbin was interviewed backstage, laughing because Brock had probably done enough damage to Seth to guarantee Baron would be the new Universal Champion when he fought Seth at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia.
- Ricochet and Cesaro had a pretty good match (big surprise!) and Ricochet won it clean, upsetting Cesaro who attacked him from behind postmatch.
- Cesaro grabbed a ladder from beneath the ring, then changes his mind and went for a table... only to discover that R-Truth had been hiding on it the entire night. Ricochet took out Truth and Carmela joined him to escape, only for the jobbers to race down to the ring to try and get the 24/7 title. Cedric Alexander took everybody out with a giant dive, and Truth found himself face to face with Drake Maverick at last. Carmela superkicked Maverick and she and Truth cheesed it with the jobbers in hot pursuit.
-
- Undertaker came out for the "main event" of the evening. The crowd popped big for him and cheered and chanted his name.
- Taker said he didn't want the loving, proud father at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia, he wanted GOLDBERG so he could destroy the legend. He ended the show by proclaiming,"Goldberg, YOU'RE NEXT!"

Smackdown Results:
- WWE Champion Kofi Kingston came to the ring with Xavier Woods, and spoke emotionally about his recent week long trip to his birth country of Ghana. Dolph Ziggler came out to talk poo poo, saying he never denied Kofi's quality but still thought that HE should be the champion instead of Kofi. Kofi played video of Dolph quitting as US Champion and briefly "walking out" of WWE in 2017, and said the difference between them is that Kofi never quit, and THAT is why it's about him and not Dolph.
- Kofi and Xavier defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a tag match. Postmatch, Dolph Ziggler superkicked Kingston from behind and then superkicked Xavier.
- After a recap of Shane McMahon, Drew McIntyre and The Revival's assault on Roman Reigns, Shane appeared in a backstage promo saying that he'd proven Roman wasn't as good as him and he was coming to the ring to call him out to prove it once again.
- Bayley came out for A Moment of Bliss with Alexa, who talked over her or ignored her in favor of her coffee. Bayley finally snapped and knocked the (clearly empty) coffee out of Alexa's hand, and Alexa warned her that she wasn't worthy of the belt. Carmella came out to stake her own claim to a title shot, and then Charlotte came out too because (as talented as I think she is) apparently WWE can't go more than an episode without putting her back into title shots.
- Backstage, a horrified R-Truth explained to Carmella that his European Title was actually a 24/7 title, and he had to defend it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! He'd been using Carmella's phone to harass Shane McMahon to give his some relief. Shane called and told Truth that he was forgiving him for interrupting Shane McMahon Appreciation Night by booking him to defend the 24/7 title in a STANDARD match in the ring that was starting RIGHT NOW!
- Truth showed up for a match with Elias, but the match was not a straight singles match but a Lumberjack match. Elias quickly won the 24/7 belt but then the lumberjacks turned on him, kicking off a brawl that Elias quickly snuck out of with the belt... only to crawl directly into R-Truth who chased him under the ring. The bell rang and Truth came out with the title, kicked his heels and then cheesed it out through the crowd as Drake Maverick dived through the air after him.
- Aleister Black did a promo about how nobody had answered what he thought was a pretty clear open challenge to the WWE roster. He got angrier and angrier as he demanded somebody be a man and fight him, before stopping and smiling as he took control of himself.
- Shane showed up with the Revival and replayed video of them beating up Roman last night and promised to do the same at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia. Roman came out, easily taking out the Revival, but somehow it caught him completely by surprise that Drew McIntyre was also lying in wait and caught him with a Claymore Kick as he ran to the ring. Drew hauled Roman into the ring and Shane speared him again and posed over his prone body.
- Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville came to ringside to watch Carmella vs. Alexa vs. Charlotte in a triple threat to determine a new contender for Bayley's Smackdown Women's Championship. Alexa won by pinning Carmella, though Mandy and Sonya got involved towards the end. The commentators mentioned that now a Raw wrestler is fighting for the Smackdown title, as if the brand split means anything anymore.
- Lars Sullivan came out for an in-ring interview and said people had called him a freak all his life but he was going to make.... Lucha House Party pay? By vivisecting them? This really didn't do the literal white supremacist any favors.
- Andrade attacked Apollo Crews right at the start of their match, then Finn Balor ran out to attack Andrade who managed to get the best of him before clearing out of the ring with Zelina. Finn and Andrade are fighting at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia.
- Goldberg came out to a big pop and loud chanting, which he seemed to appreciate even if he was already breathless just from striding to the ring. He thanked Taker for calling out the "legend" of Goldberg rather than the family man, and warned him that he was going to destroy him because he was next. The GONG! sounded and the lights went out, and Taker briefly appeared face to face with Goldberg as the crowd went nuts. The lights went out and Taker was gone, and Goldberg said it was on at the blood money show in Saudi Arabia.
- Goldberg walked up the ramp, stopping to hug and high five little kids on the way.
