[HOUR ONE]
– The show opened with Drew McIntyre making his way to the ring, as a recap of his confrontation with Judgment Day last week was shown. Drew said that he would be ready to take on Priest one-on-one, but he knew that it wouldn’t happen. Damian Priest interrupted with Judgment Day to claim that Drew was the one that made this personal. Priest said that this was his belt, not the Judgment Day’s belt and that he didn’t need them to beat Drew.
– Drew insisted that the rest of Judgment Day would interfere. Priest suggested that Drew should face Finn Bálor tonight and if Finn won, the rest of Judgment Day would come with him at Clash at the Castle. Drew said that he respected a man willing to dig his own grave and hoped Priest would shake his hand after he embarrasses him on Saturday.
(Pomares’s Analysis: A decent opening segment, but one that felt lacking for the world title just mere days from Clash at the Castle. Hopefully, the Priest vs. Bálor match is accompanied by a stronger go-home segment.)
– Backstage, Liv Morgan met Dominik Mysterio in the Judgment Den. Liv told Dominik that he should hang out with someone that calls him daddy, leaving him a hotel key.
– Iyo Sky made her way to the ring, ahead of her match against Lyra Valkyria.
[Commercial Break]
– A video package showing Damian Priest and Zelina Vega taking part in the National Puerto Rican Parade was shown.
– A recap of Iyo Sky assaulting Lyra Valkyria last week was shown.
(1) LYRA VALKYRIA vs. IYO SKY (w/Dakota Kai & Kairi Sane)
Lyra stomped Sky down, only for Sky to knock her off her feet and pummel her down. Lyra swept Sky off her feet and blasted her with a basement dropkick, setting her up for a Northern Lights suplex. Sky clobbered Lyra with a palm strike, but Lyra trapped her in an inverted Boston Crab. Sky pulled Lyra out of the ring and crushed her with an Asai moonsault, as WWE Raw went to commercials.
[Commercial Break]
Back from break, Lyra knocked Sky off her feet with a leg lariat and a missile dropkick, followed by a fisherman buster for a two count. Sky drove Lyra into the turnbuckle with a headscissors takeover and nailed her with a double underhook backbreaker. Lyra evaded a moonsault and countered a power move with a pinning combination for a nearfall. Sky crushed Lyra with a roll-through into a double stomp for a two count.
Lyra pulled Sky off the top turnbuckle and laid her out with the Nightfall, but Kai and Sane broke the pinfall. Lyra took care of Damage CTRL with a dropkick through the ropes, only for Sky to trip her off the top turnbuckle. Sky clobbered Lyra with a double knee strike and tried to go for a Moonsault, but Lyra put her feet up. Lyra planted Sky with a gutbuster before Sky countered the Nightfall with a crucifix pinfall for the win.
WINNER: Iyo Sky at 10:27
– After the match, Damage CTRL assaulted Lyra Valkyria, until Katana Chance & Kayden Carter made the save.
(Pomares’s Analysis: Solid opening match once again showcasing Lyra Valkyria as a threat to Damage CTRL. I’m all for seeing more of this feud and I hope the addition of Chance and Carter isn’t just a one time thing.)
– Backstage, Dominik Mysterio explained his situation with Liv Morgan to the rest of Judgment Day.
[Commercial Break]
– A recap of Sami Zayn’s confrontation with Alpha Academy last week was shown.
– Backstage, The Miz asked Sami Zayn if he had seen R-Truth anywhere. Sami met the rest of Alpha Academy and apologized for what happened last week. Sami told them that they didn’t need to take more of this from Chad Gable. Otis explained that when he lost everything, Gable was there for him and without him, he was nothing. Sami told Otis that he wasn’t nothing and that he hadn’t even realized how special he could be.
– Backstage, Damian Priest met the rest of Judgment Day to discuss Dominik’s situation. Priest asked where the hotel key was, but no one could answer because they had to come out for their next match.
– The LWO made their way to the ring, ahead of their match against Judgment Day.
[Commercial Break]
– A recap of NXT Battleground was shown.
– A video package showcasing Ludwig Kaiser was shown where he gloated about his victory over Sheamus and the people he has eliminated in the past few months, setting his sights on Money in the Bank.
(2) BRAUN STROWMAN & LWO (Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee w/Zelina Vega) vs. JUDGMENT DAY (Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh) & CARLITO
Strowman threw Carlito across the ring, forcing him to tag Dominik in. Rey tagged in to face Dominik, only for JD to immediately tag in. Rey took JD down with a headscissors takeover and a dropkick, setting him up for a slingshot dropkick from Lee. Lee caught JD with a back elbow, only for Dominik to knock him off his feet behind the referee’s back. Lee floored Dominik with a German suplex, followed by a seated senton and a hurracarrana from Rey. LWO sent JD out of the ring, but Judgment Day caught Rey’s Pescado attempt. They rammed Rey into Lee, as WWE Raw went to an ad break.
[Commercial Break]
Back from break, Rey tripped Carlito into the turnbuckle before receiving a back suplex from JD. Carlito knocked Rey down with a clothesline and knocked Lee off the apron. Rey took care of Carlito, JD and Lee, but they pulled Strowman off the apron before the tag. Carlito crashed into the ring post, but was able to give JD the tag. Rey spiked JD with a Satellite DDT, reaching Lee for the hot tag. Lee pummeled Carlito down with right hands and knocked him down with a hurracarrana.
Carlito stopped Lee atop the turnbuckle, only for Lee to trip him down and crush him with a diving double stomp. Rey sent JD out of the ring before receiving a dropkick from Dominik. Liv Morgan showed up to talk with Dominik, but Dominik refused to listen to her. Vega knocked Liv off the apron, making her crash into Dominik and attacked her from behind. Strowman got the hot tag to knock Dominik, JD and Carlito down with shoulder tackles. Strowman flattened Carlito with a powerslam, setting him up for an assisted splash from Lee and the win.
WINNERS: Braun Strowman & LWO at 13:58
(Pomares’s Analysis: An alright match that didn’t really need to go nowhere near as long as it did. The big story development was the Liv Morgan spot with Dominik and Zelina which should likely set up a future TV title match.)
– A video package showcasing Ilja Dragunov was shown.
– Backstage, Ricochet hyped Ilja Dragunov up for his match against Bron Breakker. Dragunov said that once they were done with Breakker, he would give Ricochet his rematch.
