opens with a video package of Brock Lesnar defeating Dean Ambrose to
become an eight-time WWE Champion at WWE Payback in Boston. On the
following editions of RAW and SmackDown, “The Lunatic Fringe”
would go on to lose two straight matches to “The Phenomenal” AJ
Styles. Since then, no one has seen or heard from Ambrose.

McMahon announces that Stephanie McMahon (along with members of The
Authority) and Shane McMahon will both have joint control over the
WWE.

Match
Dana
Brooke vs Alicia Fox
Winner:
Alicia Fox (4* Amazing)
Post:
Dana offers a handshake that Alicia accepts.
Emma
is interviewed and asked about her thoughts on Dana Brooke's WWE
debut on Monday Night RAW. Emma says that it doesn't matter because
the spotlight should be on Emma and not on Emma. Emma left Dana
behind on NXT to come to RAW and make it all about her. The question
should have been all about Emma just like everything else in the WWE.
“The
Phenomenal” AJ Styles comes out and says that he has defeated
former WWE Champion and current contender, Dean Ambrose...TWICE in
one week. Some people have accused Styles of “picking the bones”
of Ambrose after the mauling that Brock Lesnar gave him but this is
the WWE and you must be ready to fight at all times. Despite winning
himself a WWE Championship opportunity, here he stands having to wait
for Brock to maul Dean one more time before AJ gets a shot. Because
of this, he has been given a spot on the Extreme Rules card to do
what he pleases with and the way he looks at things, everyone on the
roster has to earn a shot to face him, especially on a PPV. So he is
calling out...”The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels. Much to the
WWE Universe in Richmond's surprise, out comes HBK who repeatedly
tries to tell Styles that he is retired despite how great that match
would be. Styles takes this in stride and thanks Michaels for a
wonderful career that has inspired so many.
Brie
Bella is interviewed and talks about how she still has a win over a
WWE Women's Champion under her belt but has been informed by The
Authority that she won't receive her opportunity until the rivalry
between the champ, Sasha Banks and Charlotte comes to a conclusion.
So while those two are busy destroying each other, Brie considers
herself to be the real person at the top of the division. And because
she is the focal point of Total Divas along with her twin sister, she
has decided that it's only fair to recognize Brie as the top diva of
the division by taking a certain item off of her mantle and back
around her waist, the WWE Divas Championship!
Natalya
interrupts Brie's interview and says that she's the real star of
Total Divas and that means that the Divas Championship belongs to her
just like the WWE Women's Championship does. Naomi is heard laughing
off-screen and tells Natalya that Brie has a legitmate claim to the
title, unlike Nattie. However, Naomi thinks that if the Divas
Championship is going to be fought over than the Divas champ should
be decided in the ring.

Two
weeks ago at WWE Payback, “The Boss” Sasha Banks defeated
Charlotte to capture her very first WWE Women's Championship in front
of her hometown crowd in Boston. Sasha would look to put an
exclamation mark on that championship victory by refusing to wait for
her contractually obligated rematch with Charlotte and taking out
Charlotte's opponent for the night and thus force her way into a
non-title match. However, Charlotte would strike back with a victory
of her own, albeit non-title. Can Charlotte pick up some more
momentum tonight?

Ambrose
is found and and an interview is attempted but all he says is that he
heard that Brock Lesnar is here and Dean is looking for a fight.
Edge
and Christian come out to host an edition of “The Cutting Edge Peep
Show” and bring out their guest tonight, NEW WWE Tag Team Champion,
Seth Rollins. They congratulate Rollins on winning the big WWE Tag
Team Championship Tournament to recapture the WWE Tag Team
Championships. They should know because they wrote the book on
winning tag team championships. Seth then thanks them for paving the
way and they thank him back for keeping tag team wrestling alive.
They then thank Rollins one more time for attacking them and trying
to take them out for good a little while back. Things get serious as
Seth tells them that he's not proud of what he did or why he did it
but a man must stand by his actions. Edge and Christian admire that
and tell him that he should then prepare to pay his dues and take a
beating like a man. Co-WWE Tag Team Champion, Roman Reigns comes out
and says that things are different now. If they want to pick a fight
with one hound then they pick a fight with all of the hounds...

Heyman says that he knows that Dean Ambrose has been looking for
Brock Lesnar tonight as well he should. After one hell of a rough
week last week, Ambrose is seeking redemption for himself and what
better way to redeem yourself in the WWE by defeating “The Beast,
“The Conqueror” and the current reigning, defending and
undisputed WWE Champion. He tells Dean that his search is over, Brock
Lesnar is standing in the middle of the ring...
