🔻 BACKSTAGE: Seth Rollins pushes Mustafa Ali out of his way.

Raw opens to a backstage altercation between former Raw Tag Team Champions Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Mustafa Ali.

The pair lost their titles to The Usos on last week's Monday Night Raw main event where the SmackDown Tag Team Titles and the Raw Tag Team Titles were unified.

Tonight, Mustafa Ali demanded Seth "Freakin" Rollins gets himself put together in order for them to get a rematch against The Usos for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles. However, Seth Rollins is way out of his mind as his issues with Riddle continue to distract him from his priorities, an untroubled Rollins pushes Mustafa Ali and asks him to stay out of his way.

🔴 Liv Morgan keeps Charlotte Flair from insulting her: 9min*

When Charlotte Flair walked into Money in the Bank four weeks ago, she was the Undisputed WWE Women's Champion. But when she walked out of the premium live event, she had lost both her Raw and SmackDown Women's Titles.

Liv Morgan who cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Charlotte Flair ended up becoming the Raw Women's Champion that night!

Two weeks ago on Raw, when Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan came face-to-face, Charlotte Flair was in a "good mood" as she pledged to show Liv Morgan her true identity at SummerSlam, and that she's just not championship material. Liv Morgan remained eager that she'll keep the title away from Charlotte Flair and it'll be a very hard battle for anyone to take the Raw Women's Title from her because she won't let it happen.

This past Monday on Raw, Charlotte Flair interrupted the Raw Women's Champion Liv Morgan again to get inside her head, telling her that the Raw Women's Title is an afterthought now that Morgan has it. That title used to be on the main event of Raw and even SmackDown but Liv Morgan took all the prestige away. When Liv Morgan called out Charlotte Flair to fight in the ring and not wait until SummerSlam, the Queen chose to leave the ring...

Tonight, Raw Women's Champion Liv Morgan opened Monday Night Raw to the cheers of the WWE Universe before getting interrupted for the third week by Charlotte Flair. This time, before the Queen can open her mouth and add more insults to Morgan, the Raw Women's Champion attacked Charlotte Flair and drove her out of the ring in an epic brawl that proved the doubters wrong, Liv Morgan is indeed your Raw Women's Champion and she'll keep her title in two weeks at SummerSlam!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Theory demands a rematch against Riddle.

Riddle and Theory have come a long way, from being the unlikely duo who became a tag team to fighting each other at major events like WrestleMania Backlash, Hell in a Cell, and recently in the Men's Ladder Match at Money in the Bank!

Last week, The Intercontinental Champion Theory was defeated at the hands of Mr. Money in the Bank Riddle!

Tonight, a livid Theory is demanding a rematch against The King of Bros no later than this Monday on Raw!

🔴 Bobby Lashley vs. MVP: 8min*

MVP has been attempting to get inside Omos' head and take him away from The Miz, breaking up their "AWE-MOS" team in the process.

Two weeks ago on Raw, The Miz warned MVP to stay away from Omos or else he'll make him pay but MVP continued on and interrupted AWE-MOS's Raw open last week to further incite Omos to leave the burden that is The Miz but before The Miz could retaliate, a returning Bobby Lashley ambushed MVP and crushed him with a devastating spear!

Bobby Lashley lost the WWE Title triple threat match at Money in the Bank because of MVP and he hasn't forgotten clearly!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Sam Rigleer mocks Ezekiel before their match.

Over the past weeks, Sam Rigleer has always found himself in a disadvantage against Kevin Owens & Ezekiel but now that Logan Paul is at his side, The Paramount Star feels more confident in taking down both Owens and Ezekiel in singles action before the two pairs collide at SummerSlam!

Last week, Sam Rigleer proved that Logan Paul makes a difference when he picked up the win over Kevin Owens!

Tonight, The Paramount Star shoves his victory over Owens on Ezekiel's face, and dares Ezekiel to step up now that Logan Paul is at his side!

Rigleer vs. Ezekiel TONIGHT!

🔴 Judgment Day brings out AJ Styles' helpless body: 10min*

Two weeks ago, Friday on SmackDown, AJ Styles found company in Drew McIntyre and a recently suspended Ronda Rousey in his quest to end The Judgment Day that changed Finn Balor to what he is today.

The three superstars rallied the WWE Universe behind them and vowed to be the end for Judgment Day! McIntyre, Styles, and Rousey showed the world they're a united front and they look unstoppable! They also proved it this past Friday on SmackDown when Drew McIntyre claymore-d Damian Priest into victory!

It was all flowers and rainbows for AJ Styles until tonight.

To the shock of the WWE Universe, Judgment Day made their ominous entrance to the ring but this time dragging AJ Styles' helpless body out with them.

AJ Styles looks visibly beaten and injured, clearly at the hands of The Judgment Day. When they addressed the WWE Universe, Judgment Day revealed this is a message for McIntyre, Rousey, even Styles himself, and anyone that stands in their way.

Judgment Day have regained their strength and SummerSlam will be a can't miss match between the two forces.

🔴 Riddle vs. Theory: 15min*

Mr. Money in the Bank Riddle and Intercontinental Champion Theory put on a classic on Monday Night Raw!

Tonight, Carmella asked Reggie to give her back the 24/7 Title so she can hand it back to Aliyah but Reggie refuses and tells her that he is no longer her "sommelier".

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Omos wants AWE-MOS to go his way.

Backstage on Raw, a frustrated Omos threatens his partner The Miz and says he no longer wants The Miz to control their team, instead it should be Omos controlling AWE-MOS going forward.

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos are on Monday Night Raw just one week after being crowned champions!

⭕ MAIN EVENT: Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans — No Disqualification Match: 13min*

Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans' differences started all the way after WrestleMania but since then, Lacey Evans have had a change of character becoming more and more hostile in her interactions with the WWE Universe and particularly with SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair over the last couple of weeks.

Becky Lynch, however, was inclined more to heavy hard-hitting action over Raw and SmackDown winning multiple matches and getting her old self back!

When Lacey Evans collided with Becky Lynch two weeks ago, Becky Lynch won via DQ due to a referee stoppage when Lacey Evans snapped and used her military belt to choke Becky Lynch into unconsciousness.

Then last week on Raw, during an interview, a livid Becky Lynch said she wants to "wreck" Lacey Evans and she'll do it once their eyes meet after the latter tried to end her life. A No DQ match was later made official between the two.

Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans make their grand entrances on Raw as they go to war in the main event of Raw.

After a brutal match that saw the use of diverse weaponry, from tables and chairs to military equipment, Becky Lynch emerged a survivor.
