“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
The Raw video plays, and we go live into the arena to see a big
pyrotechnics display. Becky Lynch will defend the Raw Women’s
Championship against Asuka later tonight. Drew McIntyre will also be
a guest on The VIP Lounge hosted by MVP. Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and
The Viking Raiders will also face Seth Rollins, Murphy, and AOP.
Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins and Murphy are in the ring with
AOP. Rollins welcomes the crowd to Monday Night Raw. Rollins is
proud to stand here as the Monday Night Messiah. At first this name
they gave him he wasn’t so sure of, but it’s grown on him. Rollins
has come to realize how difficult it is for the crowd to speak from
their hearts and make difficult decisions. Rollins is here to speak
truths and make the tough decisions. Rollins is here to lead them
into the future.
Before he can take them into the future, he has to talk about when
his disciples AOP and Murphy took on Owens and the Viking Raiders
last week. Rezar won the elimination match over Owens. Rollins says
Owens and the Raiders interfered later in the night to cost him a
shot at Brock Lesnar and the WWE Championship. Forgiveness is a
virtue, but his patience is growing very thin when it comes to Kevin
Owens and his friends. Rollins says they aren’t here to preach a
message of divisiveness. They’re preaching a message of unity and
oneness. They’re not leaving until that message is heard.
Kevin Owens’ music interrupts Rollins. Rollins warns Owens to not
get in over his head. Samoa Joe got in over his head, as did the
Viking Raiders, and look what happened to them. Rollins says he is
the universe’s Monday Night Messiah. If Owens want to be a martyr,
that’s fine. If he stands alone, he will fall alone. Owens says
every week Rollins runs his mouth and sounds stupid as hell. Now he
looks stupid. Owens will just keep fighting because he is not alone.
The Viking Raiders join him at his side. Rollins says the problem
for Owens isn’t finding partners… it’s keeping them upright. Owens
tries to push and shove the Viking Raiders down, but they don’t
budge. Owens says they’re fine and they’re ready to go. Owens and
the Viking Raiders march down to the ring, and they’re cut off by
AOP and Murphy. They brawl at ringside while Rollins shouts from the
ring. Samoa Joe all of a sudden comes up behind Rollins and applies
the Coquina Clutch. AOP and Murphy break it up, but they’re soon
sent from the ring by Owens, Joe, and the Raiders. Murphy is hit
with a Stunner by Owens to end it.
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch comes out while Owens, Joe, and the
Viking Raiders are celebrating. She’ll face Asuka, next!

still owes everyone an explanation. What he did to Edge hurt him
more than it did Edge.
Matt Hardy’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring. Hardy says
everyone wants to know why Orton did it. Hardy knows what Orton is
thinking right now. Why does Matt give a damn about Edge? Everyone
knows the history with Hardy and Edge, it’s no secret. A “Lita”
chant picks up. Hardy says there was one point in time when no one
on Planet Earth hated Edge more than him. Before that, they were
best friends for years. The Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian would
stay in the same hotel room just to save a few bucks. They were
young, hungry kids trying to live their dreams. At No Mercy in 1999,
they revolutionized the Ladder Match. A “TLC” chant picks up. Hardy
says they invented the TLC match. The TLC match became so iconic, it
will be a staple of WWE forever. Those young kids that had big
dreams went to WrestleMania and stole the show on more than one
occasion. They didn’t do it alone. They did it together. That means
something.
When he saw that Edge was forced to retire due to injury, any hate
or disdain he had was gone. In so many ways, Hardy and Edge are
similar. They love performing for the WWE Universe. Hardy couldn’t
imagine if this was taken from him before he was ready. After Edge
retired and they were cool, Edge would call Hardy and ask, “What
if…” Nine years later after he retired due to injury, Edge made the
most miraculous return ever. Orton took that away. Orton puts his
head down. Hardy asks what in the hell is wrong with Orton. Orton
goes for an RKO, but Hardy pushes him off and attacks. Orton shoves

Winner by Pinfall: Aleister Black
Black says he’s enjoyed for the past few weeks sharing these
intimate moments with the crowd. That is what it is all about.
Everyone here tries to escape their given idea of paradise one way
or the other. Black knows a thing or two about rebelling against
paradise. As for himself, he’s starting to feel like an animal
inside a cage. Black sits in the middle of the ring. For those that
venture out here, know that it’s not him that’s in there with them.
It is them that shall be trapped inside this metaphoric cage with
him.
