SHOW OPENER PROMO

Last night at WWE Payback, Paige submitted Nia Jax to retain the RAW Women's Championship. An angry Nia Jax makes her way to the ring and says that she doesn't care what happened last night at Payback, she wants Paige again tonight! Paige mocks Nia and tells her that she'll be glad to tap her out again but there are more girls in the back who are ready and more deserving of the opportunity. Nia calls them all out and offers to knock them all down at once.

Nia Jax vs Paige

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Nia Jax

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Finn Bálor says that rather than sitting around and waiting his turn to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, he's going to prove how much he is championship material by challenging the Intercontinental Champion Bray Wyatt. This brings out Bobby Roode who says that if anyone is going to refuse to wait around to make an impact it's “The Glorious One”. Roode is going to enhance his legacy by writing his name down next to former Intercontinental Champions like Mr. Perfect, “Ravishing” Rick Rude and Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

Finn Bálor vs Bobby Roode

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Bobby Roode

“The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose appears and mentions how he was thinking along the same lines as Finn and Bobby. So he approached the RAW General Manager Mick Foley while these two were jaw-jacking out here and proposed the idea of a Triple Threat match tonight where the winner becomes the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Mick liked the idea and the match is set for tonight in Nashville which is music to Ambrose's ears.

Method: Pinfall from Tozawa on Kendrick

LAST NIGHT AT WWE PAYBACK: The New Day of SmackDown Live defeated Sheamus and Cesaro to become the NEW RAW Tag Team Champions, thus taking the RAW Tag Team Titles to SmackDown Live!

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Cesaro trashes The New Day and turns his back on the WWE Universe, blaming them for not supporting their RAW brand and instead supporting glorified clowns like The New Day.

UP NEXT: Apollo Crews may be looking to Titus O'Neil's Titus Brand to turn his career around, but the cost of that partnership is apparently that he isn't allowed to fraternize with Heath Slater as Titus took issue with Apollo’s backstage chitchat with “the enemy,”“The One-Man Band”.
