🔴 Theory vs. Ezekiel w/ Kevin Owens: 10min*

Last week, backstage on Raw, Intercontinental Champion Theory interrupted an argument between Kevin Owens and Ezekiel to point out how Kevin Owens has been at the back of the line ever since he choose to accept Ezekiel's lies, his personality disorder and started teaming with him. Kevin Owens pushed Theory down and left the scene.

Tonight, the youngest Intercontinental Champion in FBW History, Theory, went one-on-one with Ezekiel on Raw as Kevin Owens looks on! Will Ezekiel show Theory who he really is tonight? Or will Theory prove a point to Kevin Owens?

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Sam Rigleer to teach Logan Paul the hardest lessons at Clash at the Castle.

It was Sam Rigleer that brought Social Media Megastar Logan Paul to WWE to join him in his fray with Ezekiel & Kevin Owens. The pair was successful in their match and were able to end their vendetta with Kev & Zek two weeks ago at SummerSlam in a Tag Team Match.

While Logan Paul impressed millions of viewers worldwide, Sam Rigleer decided to put all the spotlight on him by putting down Logan Paul immediately after they won.

However, Logan Paul didn't back down and made a shocking and unexpected return to WWE last week on Raw to ambush The Paramount Star Sam Rigleer.

Tonight, in an interview with Kevin Patrick, Sam Rigleer vowed to end the megastar in the UK and teach him the important lessons when he beats him at Clash at the Castle. He reiterated that all Logan Paul learnt from Sam Rigleer in the past month is nothing compared to his knowledge in this industry.

Logan Paul will be LIVE on Raw next week just 5 nights from Clash at the Castle.

🔴 Liv Morgan & Naomi collide with Bayley, Kai, & SKY: 9min*

Two weeks ago at SummerSlam, Liv Morgan retained the Raw Women's Title in an epic bout with Charlotte Flair! After that match, Liv Morgan was surprised by the arrival of a returning Bayley who didn't come alone. The former longest-reigning Raw Women's Champion Bayley was accompanied by a debuting Dakota Kai and a returning IYO SKY, formerly known on Raw as Io Shirai! The three superstars interrupted Liv Morgan and attempted to ambush her before Becky Lynch would make her presence known and stand at the side of Liv Morgan, even then, the disadvantage was very wide and it would only be three-on-three when Naomi made a shocking return to WWE after being out of action for months!

Last week, Raw Women's Champion Liv Morgan opened Monday night Raw in celebration of her win at SummerSlam joined by Becky Lynch and Naomi. The celebration was quickly cut short at the hands of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY who made their first Raw appearance together. Bayley emphasized that their presence on Raw is for a reason and that is to take back control of this lost division. For more than 400 days, Bayley was FBW's Raw Women's Champion.

Bayley said they do not intend to leave Liv Morgan at the top of this division where she clearly doesn't belong and more over, Dakota Kai & IYO SKY plan on capturing the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles by the end of the tournament that'll begin tonight to crown the new champions.

A fight would ensue and Becky Lynch finds herself hardly able to move her shoulder due to IYO SKY's relentless assault. It was only thanks to WWE Officials that the brawl came to a stop. Later that night, Becky Lynch & Naomi lost their WWE Women's Tag Titles Tournament match to Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H due to Lynch's shoulder injury, suffered at the hands of Kai & SKY while the latter advanced in the tournament.

Tonight, Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY revealed their name as Damage CTRL before being surrounded by Naomi & Raw Women's Champion Liv Morgan!

Dakota Kai and IYO SKY have chosen to back down from the fight because they have a match later tonight with Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H in the semifinals of the WWE Women's Tag Title Tournament!

**Still to come: Dakota Kai & IYO SKY vs. Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. - Semi Finals + Omos & MVP in action + Seth Rollins vs. Mustafa Ali.

🔴 Omos w/ MVP vs. Local Competitors: 5min*

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.

Over a month 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 three weeks ago 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!

Three weeks ago, the Almighty Bobby Lashley clashed with MVP in his first-match since Money in the Bank, where he won dominantly!

However, MVP was granted a rematch against Bobby Lashley and it was going to be a No DQ match! MVP would go on to win the match two weeks ago but under controversial circumstances.

It was a giant Omos that came to the assist of MVP in crushing Bobby Lashley on himself to hand MVP a shocking victory!

Last week, MVP invited Omos on his VIP Lounge to discuss their future joint venture but a lousy Miz interrupted and exclaimed the meeting as illegitimate because Omos still doesn't know where he stands in all of this. Is Omos with MVP or with The Miz?

It didn't take long for us to find out because Omos would ambush The Miz to make an end to their AWE-MOS team.

Tonight, Omos showed off his dominance against a couple local competitors where he won in a minute.

The aftermath wasn't too hopeful for Omos & MVP because Bobby Lashley returned to take the Giant Omos down with a devastating spear!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Raquel Rodriguez & Ronda Rousey vow to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles.

Raquel Rodriguez and Ronda Rousey are looking forward to facing either Shotzi & Li or Toxic Attraction this coming Friday on SmackDown in the semi-finals of the WWE Women's Tag Title Tournament.

🔴 Riddle wants Seth "Freakin" Rollins in a match at WWE Clash at the Castle: 9min*

Seth "Freakin" Rollins was on Monday Night Raw just two nights after his SummerSlam match with Riddle was postponed due to an injury Riddle suffered at the hands of The Visionary two weeks ago on Raw.

Last week, Seth Rollins was all-games when welcoming the WWE Universe to Raw and enjoying sending Riddle home and not having to worry about him. Rollins added insult to injury when he said that Riddle is all alone at home because his wife and children want nothing to do with him as the round of boos amplify in the arena.

However, to everyone's shock, a bruised Mr. Money in the Bank Riddle came out, barely able to walk, to initiate a brawl with Seth Rollins!

Despite being banged up Riddle didn't stop with hard-hitting blows to The Visionary that showed him a fighting spirit like he never known.

WWE Officials quickly came out to put apart the two superstars as the WWE Universe sing Rollins' song to mock The Visionary's performance in this brawl.

Tonight, Mr. Money in the Bank Riddle looked in good shape as he declared his intention to face Seth Rollins at the upcoming WWE Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales. Only a week from Saturday.

Seth "Freakin" Rollins came out and said he'll gladly face Riddle and stomp his face all over the globe before asking him to leave the ring since he has a match next with Mustafa Ali!

🔴 Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Mustafa Ali: 12min*

This past Monday, Kevin Patrick met with a livid and embarrassed Seth Rollins to report on his feelings after a bruised Riddle was able to force Rollins to retreat. The impulsive Seth Rollins punched the microphone into Patrick's face before he was jumped by his other rival and former partner, Mustafa Ali! For many months, Mustafa Ali and Seth "Freakin" Rollins were a force to be reckoned with ever since The Visionary's ideology captivated Mustafa Ali.

The pair went on to achieve greatness, fighting The Undertaker at WrestleMania, competing for the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble, and recently becoming the Raw Tag Team Champions!

The dream pairing with a vision to spread started to show cracks since day 1, but the two superstars would only reach a breaking point because of one Riddle.

Seth Rollins' on-going issues with Riddle has made the Visionary lose his vision and no longer focus on what he was building with Ali.

Mustafa Ali felt Rollins was out of touch with reality, impulsive, unfocused, and baffling. When Rollins & Ali lost the Winners Take All Championship Unification match, with it, was gone the Raw Tag Team Titles. Rollins and Ali would find it hard to co-exist. Three weeks ago on Raw, Rollins pushed Ali and wanted him out of his way and in the week after, Mustafa Ali demanded him and Seth Rollins to settle what's wrong in their dispute but a brawl broke out when Rollins said that "This is not the time for this! I don't care about you, and i told you to get the f out of my way!" Mustafa Ali & Seth Rollins' nonsensical brawl would only end because of separations by WWE Officials.

Tonight, Seth Rollins and his former 'Right Hand Man' Mustafa Ali enter the war zone when they go one-on-one on Raw!

During the match, Riddle went out to throw down with Seth Rollins and made Mustafa Ali lose the match due to a disqualification.

Seth Rollins wins via DQ.

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Liv Morgan & Naomi have their eyes on Damage CTRL tonight.

🔴 R-Truth vs. Jey Uso w/ Jimmy Uso & Sami Zayn: 9min*

Last Monday on Raw, R-Truth made the boldest of bold statements when he challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title!

Roman Reigns heard the challenge and invited R-Truth to this past Friday's SmackDown. That night, Roman Reigns made an example out of R-Truth as he destroyed him with The Bloodline in seconds.

R-Truth was not offered a match with Roman Reigns but he gets the chance for revenge against The Bloodline when he faces "Main Event" Jey Uso!

🔴 Edge comes to the aid of AJ Styles in an attack by The Judgment Day: 12min*

At SummerSlam, AJ Styles teamed up with Drew McIntyre and Ronda Rousey to defeat The Judgment Day of Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest. That same night, the former leader of Judgment Day Edge made his return to make Finn Balor's night go from bad to worse.

The next Monday on Raw, Judgment Day surrounded Edge and obliterated him to a point where everyone doubted he'll never come back.

Tonight, AJ Styles was looking to address his future after losing to Drew McIntyre in a match where the winner would go on to Clash at the Castle and face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. It is safe to say that never truly happened because moments into AJ Styles' address, a shadow englobed the arena as Judgment Day ambush the Phenomenal One.

Madcap Moss visited Ricochet in the Locker Room to mock his change of attitude that led him to nowhere. No friends, no supporting fans, no wins, and no titles.

Ricochet was boiling but it was an "electric" Madcap Moss that dared him to go one-on-one with him tonight! A challenge that Ricochet accepted. It's next!
