MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Enzo Amore wants to know why he showed up to the arena here tonight in Dallas and is not part of the card. He accuses Big Cass of ducking him and adds that he didn't figure the seven-foot tall hater was a coward. A stoic Big Cass shows up and simply says that he's not ducking Enzo because he's afraid. That's ridiculous. Cass just considers it a waste of time as he is above Enzo and everyone else here in Dallas.

Enzo Amore vs Big Cass

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Enzo Amore

TONIGHT: The WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz have had a long and difficult journey to defeat The Bar and win the RAW Tag Team Championship. Difficult enough that some even assigned them adjectives like “lucky” and “fluke” despite already having two successful title defenses.

So in order to leave no doubt that they are THE champs to beat on Monday Night RAW, Matt and Jeff issued a challenge: A 30-Minute Iron Man Match against Heath Slater and Rhyno who defeated Gallows and Anderson on RAW to earn the opportunity.

As The Hardy Boyz look for their third successful title defense to further prove themselves as the best tag team, Heath Slater and Rhyno look to prove themselves as serious contenders despite their love of having fun with the WWE Universe.

NEWS

Elias Samson won his big match against Finn Bálor! The crowd was disappointed at the outcome, feeling that he shouldn't have won after the lengths he went in the weeks prior to tonight.

Dean Ambrose and Rhyno have suffered minor injuries during their matches. Although still cleared to compete, the threat of fruther injury should be a concern on these Superstars' minds.
