The show opened with The Heenan Family coming to the ring to cut a promo about how it has instantly become the most dominant faction on RAW and the entire WWE. Heenan said that his group would have all the RAW Championships before long. They already have the RAW World Champion in Triple H. “The Game” spoke at great length about the legacy he will leave this championship and that having the belt around his waist gives it more credibility than the Samckdown World Championship. AJ Styles showed up on the entrance stage, with the Good Brothers, and said that Triple H couldn’t defeat him without the help of his cronies. He challenged him to put the title on the line right here, right now, to prove he is actually championship material. Adam Cole swiped the mic and said Styles wasn’t championship material and he would gladly prove it by defeating him in a match tonight.
Street Profits defeated the team of Pete Dunne & PAC by pinfall at 12:36. Angelo Dawkins executed the Anointment on PAC, and Montez Ford followed it up with From the Heavens.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Eddie Guerrero was interviewed by Renee Young. Guerrero tried to put the moves on Young, but she wasn’t having any of it. Guerrero said that by beating the former Intercontinental Champion, Ricky Steamboat, one-on-one, he has silenced all the critics. He is a worthy champion. He stated that he would be the champion for a long time to come and have a run that put WALTER’s current reign as WWE United States Championship to shame.
Nyla Rose defeated Liv Morgan by pinfall at 4:37 with a sit-out powerbomb. Rose dominated Morgan in her WWE debut. When Ruby Riot and Sarah Logan entered the ring to help their stablemate after the match ended, Rose attacked them with clotheslines, Samoan drops, and powerbombs.
Sheamus defeated Kevin Owens by pinfall at 14:11. Owens nearly won the match with a Pop-up Powerbomb, then he went for the Stunner, but Sheamus pushed him to the ropes where Cesaro gave him a European uppercut while Sheamus distracted the referee. Then, Sheamus knocked out Owens with a Brogue kick.
The new WWE RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair came to the ring for an interview with Tony Schiavone. She said that she might only be the champion of one brand, but she’s still the EST of all of WWE, and she’s certainly now the number one woman in the company after beating Bayley last night, who needed a Money in the Bank cash-in to get her title. Smackdown has a joke for a champion and the RAW women’s division is where it’s at. Whoever wants to step up can get a shot and she’ll put them all down because she’s the fastest, strongest, and all-round best athlete in WWE.
Rhea Ripley defeated Mickie James by submission at 9:50 when she put her in the Prism Trap. After the match, Ripley said that she can’t seek a rematch for the title she lost last night because she was drafted to RAW, so she is setting her sights on a different strap. She wants the Mash-Up Wrestling Women’s Champion Asuka in the ring and she wants to be the one to finally take her title!
WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, Harlem Heat were interviewed by Renee Young. Booker T and Stevie Ray said that they will take on all challengers. “Limitless” Keith Lee showed up and gave the champions respect. However, he was also looking for an opportunity to make a name for himself. He wanted to earn a shot at the titles. When it was pointed out that he doesn’t have a partner, he said that he would find one in time and said he would do whatever he needed to prove he deserved a shot. The Champions said if he could beat them both in singles competition, they would give him a shot at the gold. Lee accepted their terms and they shook hands.
AJ Styles defeated Adam Cole by pinfall at 21:17. Just like what happened the night before, the entire Heenan Family got involved. The Good Brothers came to Styles’ aid to fend off FTR, but Corbin and Triple H got involved, helping to incapacitate Styles so Cole could give him the Boom. However, Finn Balor and Bad Luck Fale made their surprise debuts, running out to fight with Corbin and Triple H. The gigantic Fale took the fight to Triple H on the outside while Balor sent Corbin out of the ring. Balor then gave Cole a shotgun dropkick into the turnbuckles and a Coup de Gras. He left the ring with a swan-ton topé con hilo onto Corbin. Styles gave Cole the Styles Clash for the win. With the Heenan Family ambushed and in retreat, Styles, Anderson, Gallows, Balor and Fale posed in the ring, showing that the Bullet Club is here in WWE on Monday Night RAW!
