🔴 Matt Riddle defies The Bloodline with a MITB cash-in: 17min*

Tonight and with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Bloodline on Raw, The King of Bros looks to remind The Head of the Table of the danger ahead and promisses a Money in the Bank cash-in. But before Riddle could announce a date, The Honorary Uce Sami Zayn interrupted Riddle, telling him that he has no chance against the most dominant champion in FBW's storied history.

Riddle replied saying that if he has no chance against Roman, maybe he has some against Sami Zayn and makes a challenge for tonight which made Zayn realize what he put himself into, and accepts.

Riddle vs. Zayn TONIGHT! But the question remains, will the challenger to Roman Reigns' Undisputed Title at Crown Jewel Braun Strowman be able to appear on Raw after the ruthless assault by The Bloodline last Saturday?

The Judgment Day are in the ring, livid at the outcome of Extreme Rules where Balor lost to Styles. But on the bright side for The Judgment Day is that they know where Dominik Mysterio stands now and what they did to Rey Mysterio was pleasant.

Finn Balor then brought up AJ Styles again and the latter walked out to the ring saying that he realized it was time that he got some friends... or family even. AJ kneeled in front of Judgment Day and Balor accepted him with open arms. Styles said that he may have beaten Balor in the match where if he lost he would have been forced to join The Judgment Day but maybe it was worth it - he said. Styles said that he wasn't talking about them though...

Gallows and Anderson walked out, formerly of The Club/The O.C. in WWE, and attacked Judgment Day with AJ. Styles sent Balor over the announcers' desk as his new teammates took out Damian and Dominik.

Kevin Owens and Ezekiel have been partners for quite some time on Monday Night Raw, but things weren't working out as of late for the two. Four weeks ago, Ezekiel snapped a mirror on Owens' face during his qualifying match in the tournament!

Ezekiel explained his actions as vengeance for what Kevin Owens made him feel, when Owens constantly doubted his existence, Ezekiel found himself in a rather tough time staring at the mirror every single day doubting who he really is, in that time, Ezekiel felt disconnected with who he is and what he stands for to a level where he couldn't stand staring at himself.

Kevin Owens destroyed Ezekiel and won the "Mirrors" Match last week on Raw.

During an interview, Kevin Owens declared his win over Ezekiel as an end of the delusions of Elias.
