z. Old Raw Logo

Tonight's Raw will feature Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens in the main event. If Reigns wins, he will be added to the main event at Clash of Champions. Meanwhile, the Boss is back, and hungry for her title back, but with Bayley on the scene, is it just a little too crowded? And will they have anything planned only one week before the Cruiserweights arrive?

Press F5 or refresh for more updates.

Raw opens with Mick Foley in the ring. "Hello and welcome to Monday Night Raw! You know, summer may be over, but things are just heating up because with the first-ever Raw exclusive PPV only two weeks away, Clash of Champions, we are going to find out tonight if Kevin Owens will defend his Universal Championship against Seth Rollins or against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Now, credit where credit is due, our competition, Smackdown Live put on a great show last night, and crowned their first Smackdown Women's champion, congratulations to my friend Becky Lynch. But I'd like to think that we on Raw offer the very best in women's wrestling, so without further ado, I'd like to welcome our Women's Champion, Charlotte!"

Charlotte hits the ring. "Mick, thank you so much for having me. Look, there's something I really need to get off my chest, and what better place to do this than in front of the WWE Universe? After last week, I think an apology is an order."

Mick: "An apology?"

Charlotte: "No, not you, Mick. I'm talking about Dana Brooke."

Dana: "Oh no, you don't owe me an apology."

Charlotte: "I would never apologize to you. You owe me an apology. Do you know how embarrassing it was to lose to Bayley? I'm petitioning to have the record books changed to reflect that you lost to Bayley, not me. You tapped anyway before. So if you don't apologize, our friendship, and more important my mentorship, is over."

Dana: "I am so sorry."

Mick: "I didn't really bring you out to air your personal grievances. In two weeks, Raw presents Clash of Champions, where every Raw brand championship is on the line, and that means your Women's Championship will be defended."

Sasha comes out. "No need for the introduction, Mick. You are looking at WWE's legit boss, and the woman who will be taking your championship in two weeks."

Bayley comes out. "I would love to see Sasha compete for the championship tonight, but, uh..."

Mick: "But what, Bayley?"

Bayley: "Look, I know I'm the new girl and everything, but last week, I beat Charlotte, so maybe, maybe if the person who deserves a title shot is me."

Sasha: "Whoa, whoa, no. Bayley, look, you and I go way back to NXT, and you had my back at Battleground, but when it comes to that title, I have no friends. So you need to get to the back of the line, because I have unfinished business."

Charlotte: "The only unfinished business we have is that career-ending beatdown I was in the middle of giving you."

Sasha: "Why don't we finish it right now?"

Mick gets between the two. Sasha throws her jacket at Charlotte.

Charlotte: "Oh, oh, need I remind you that I am the only champion in the ring? And you don't get to decide when I defend my title."

Mick: "You're right, Sasha doesn't. But neither do you. I do, that's my job. Now originally, it was supposed to be Sasha getting her rematch, but after last week, maybe it's Bayley who gets the shot."

Dana: "Look, Mick, clearly Sasha and Bayley should be fighting to decide who gets to face Charlotte. Maybe another Best of Seven series is in order."

Charlotte: "If you talk again, I swear I'll slap the taste out of your mouth. I guess Bayley's tired of Sasha's sense of entitlement."

Mick: "Tell you what. Tonight, we'll decide who challenges Charlotte at Clash of Champions in a match between Sasha and Bayley."

Charlotte shoves Dana, who responds by slapping her. She initially looks regretful.

Mick: "And Dana! A triple threat between Sasha, Bayley, and Dana! And that match starts now!"

Match One: #1 Contender's Match: Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Dana Brooke

Dana opens by shoving Bayley, then Sasha, tosses Bayley to the floor, kick to Sasha, foot choke, boot to Bayley, tosses Sasha to the corner, blocked, Sasha tosses Dana to the corner, stomps, foot choke, slap, snapmare for two, whip, Dana presses Sasha to the apron, boot, Bayley rolls Dana up for two, toss to the corner, then to the adjacent corner, then to the next corner in succession, then to the final corner, Dana with a stomp, fireman's carry, blocked, Bayley with a whip, avalanche for two, boot, running knee drop for two, armbar, Dana punches her way out, arm twist, Bayley with an arm drag, armbar, slaps the hand, keeps the hold locked in, Sasha slides in the ring, they stare each other down, double team hip toss to Dana, commercial.

Back on air, Dana has Bayley in a bow and arrow hold, Bayley to her feet, Dana goes for a fireman's carry, Sasha with a dropkick for two, punches to Dana, blocks a kick in the corner, sets Dana up sideways, Bayley goes to block, Sasha sets her up too, double foot stomp, Bayley rolls out of the way, top rope crossbody to not only break up a two-count but get one as well, Dana with a double clothesline, mounted punches to both women, tosses Sasha to the corner, then tosses Bayley to the corner, shoulder tackles, ten-punch, superplex, turned into a tower of doom, Sasha covers Dana for two, pair of clotheslines, dropkick, blocks a boot, hits a kick, backstabber, blocked, Dana goes for a clothesline, reversed into a backstabber, Banks Statement, Bayley breaks the count, Bayley to Belly to Dana for two, Sasha breaks the count, rollup for three with Sasha's shoulders also touching the mat.

They seem to be ignoring that, so winner: Sasha Banks

Backstage, Dana apologizes to Charlotte and explains that she was trying something. Charlotte demands she get her bags.

Primo and Epico are trying to sell R-Truth a timeshare in Puerto Rico. He's about to sign when Goldust walks in and ushers Truth out. Primo and Epico then run into Enzo and Cass, who accuse them of cheating. Primo and Epico still try to sell them a timeshare. Enzo challenges Epico to a match.

Tom Phillips interviews Kevin Owens, who calls him Tyler. He asks if Tom wants him to say something controversial, like that Seth Rollins is just jealous that HHH realized he's better, or that Roman Reigns is not on his level, or that Mick Foley is jealous that he wasn't as good as HHH. Then he says he won't say any of those things, but he will beat Reigns tonight, then Rollins at COC. After he walks off, Jericho says the problem is that Mick Foley pulled Jericho from the Highlight Reel, but he found a replacement in Sami Zayn. He says that Sami Zayn is a stupid idi... it. Not a misspelling, pun.

Match Two: Bo Dallas vs. Dude in Shorts

Bo: "Lending help has got to go, I should have said this long ago, only I can Bo-Lieve in Bo!"

Bo with a series of punches, knee lift, whip to the corner, dude dodges an avalanche, tosses Bo to the floor, dropkick, Bo hits a powerslam, gut breaker, then another, then a third, clothesline, Crossrhodes type move for three.

Winner: Bo Dallas

After a commercial, Chris Jericho hits the ring for the Highlight Reel. "Welcome to what was supposed to be the greatest version of the Highlight Reel, with the most inspirational, greatest man to ever live, a man so great Tom Cruise will probably play him in the movie of his life, although Brad Pitt could do it too. I'm talking about Kevin Owens. But they had to pull him out, put him in the main event, leave me high and dry. So how do you replace the highest of the high? You go in the opposite direction, you find the lowest of the low. So tonight's guest is the lowest of the low, Sami Zayn."

Zayn hits the ring.

Zayn: "Thank you for that glowing introduction."

"You expect me to sing 'Ole, ole'? That introduction was perfect for you. Why do you think Kevin Owens ditched you as his best friend? He won't look at you backstage, I bet you won't even have his new phone number, do you? I have it. You want it? You're probably wondering why I had you on here."

"Actually, Chris, that's exactly what I'm wondering."

"I wanted to find out if you know what went wrong. Because that's all you. It wasn't Kevin Owens, it was all you."

"You want to bring me out here to talk about Kevin Owens? Look, I already said that I'm done with him. I couldn't care less, actually that's not true, I care about one thing: the WWE Universal Championship around his shoulder. But if you really think he's your best friend, then you truly are a stupid idiot."

"You're just another name-caller, aren't you? You're just like all these other people, a taker. I'm a giver, I give these people what they want. The gift--"

"The gift of Jericho? Because that gift sucks, and that's the truth."

"You want the truth?"

"Is there any shred of the old Chris Jericho left? Because you want to know why Kevin Owens and I travelled so much? Because of guys like you, and Dean Malenko, and Eddie Guerrero. Journeymen, craftsmen. I mean, you're the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion, and now you're just relegated to being Kevin Owens' bitch."

"You really think so, Sami? Before we came out here, I got a text from Kevin Owens telling me what to expect. You want to know what he said? I'll show you."

Jericho hits Zayn with his phone instead, then hits a Codebreaker.

Mick says Roman was wronged just as badly, Rollins says there's no comparison because Seth is a way better wrestler. Mick says if he's that much better, he shouldn't be worried. Seth says it's all about not wanting any distractions. Seth suggests getting Stephanie, Mick says she's in Singapore, but she has nothing to do with any of this. Seth threatens to take matters into his own hands, Mick yells at him, saying he can say whatever he wants about him, but don't question his integrity, and not to interfere in the main event.

E: "Psych! We burned that footage, you'll never have to see it again."
