CROWN JEWEL IS ONE WEEK FROM SATURDAY!

🔴 Lashley, Rigleer, and Rollins are problems for Austin Theory: 17min*

All bitter at being somehow eliminated by Austin Theory in the Grand 16-Man Tournament, the three superstars stand up to put Austin Theory in his place while demanding an Intercontinental Title shot.

Sam Rigleer defeated the Intercontinental Champion this past Monday on Raw, while Bobby Lashley took out all his frustrations on Theory a couple of weeks ago!

It's an all-out mayhem situation as Lashley, Rigleer, and Rollins argue privileges to face Theory!

WWE Official Adam Pearce announced a Fatal 4-Way Match for next week but Austin Theory wants a rematch with Sam Rigleer, who he has beaten twice in three battles, and if Theory wins, Rigleer will be pulled out of the Fatal 4-Way Match.

**Coming up: Logan Paul vs. Brock Lesnar CONTRACT-SIGNING + Matt Riddle vs. Kevin Owens! + Toxic Attraction guests on Ding Dong Hello!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Bray Wyatt is glad the fans didn't give up but Uncle Howdy appears.

Bray Wyatt was backstage and apologized for cutting his promo short. He started by confessing about his problems like anger, which caused him to do things he regrets but he was glad that the fans never gave up on him. Bray Wyatt's glitchy broadcast took over the video once again and we got a stray "howdy" before heading to a break.

Kevin Owens thinks both Ezekiel and Matt Riddle share a naivety and unparalleled stupidity.

🔴 Matt Riddle vs. Kevin Owens: 9min*

Kevin Owens thinks both Ezekiel and Matt Riddle share a naivety and unparalleled stupidity according to his confrontation with Riddle from this past Monday.

Tonight, Mr. Money in the Bank Matt Riddle dares Kevin Owens to do to him what he did to Ezekiel in singles action!

Matt Riddle defeats Kevin Owens.

**Still to come: The O.C. vs. The Judgment Day! + Lita to address her Title match at Crown Jewel!

🔴 The Miz vs. MVP w/ Omos: 6min*

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. This has worked effectively because in the end Omos turned on The Miz.

And before their scheduled fight at WWE Crown Jewel, The Miz, MVP, and Omos made a stop on Miz TV for a clear discussion last Monday on Raw.

The Miz used that opportunity to speak about what he feels and how he never intended to use Omos but it was MVP who blinded him from seeing the truth. And that is AWE-MOS' success. Just before turning on The Miz, the two were the Raw Tag Team Champions and The Miz was the Intercontinental Champion, nothing could stop them. So what changed? asked The Miz.

Unfortunately for Miz, Omos was never out on Miz TV to talk because he tried to attack The Miz moments into the show.

Tonight, The Miz gets his hands on MVP just two weeks before facing Omos at Crown Jewel.

The Miz defeats MVP but runs away again from Omos. The running will end in 2 weeks though...

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Ricochet steps up to Logan Paul but the latter has no time.

Social Media Megastar Logan Paul is here on Raw for his contract-signing with Brock Lesnar for their Crown Jewel blockbuster encounter!

Backstage, Logan Paul crosses paths with Ricochet who says he is tired of seeing Logan on Raw taking up time that should've been awarded to him. Logan Paul gives a side eye and walks away mid-talk, disrespecting Ricochet in the process.

🔴 Bayley's digging leads to Toxic Attraction implosion: 9min*

Bayley returns to Raw alongside the FBW Women's Tag Team Champions Damage CTRL!

She talks about loosing to Liv Morgan at Extreme Rules but confirms that she is far from done with Morgan and the Raw Women's Title. She brings out Toxic Attraction and asks them what happened on Raw two weeks ago when we saw cracks within the team during the Women's Tag Title Match with Damage CTRL. Jacy Jane and Gigi Dolin blame each other for losing to Damage CTRL.

Jacy says Gigi was supposed to be behind her but she suddenly slipped. Gigi says Jacy knows she would have slipped into obscurity if Gigi would have won the title. Their bickering continues until Bayley asks them what their plan will be if they split up. Both reply that their plan would be to go straight to the top.

Bayley asks them to think whether it will be easier and quicker if they stick together, knows they have someone by their side. They both talk about how they have alienated themselves from the locker room while being in Toxic Attraction. Jacy says she goes straight to jugular when she gets mad, but Gigi is like her sister.

Gigi proposes another run at the tag titles. Bayley tells them they are getting ahead of themselves for now. She asks them to hug it out. Jacy and Gigi hug each other. Jacy suddenly nails Gigi with a superkick. She throws Gigi into the door and hits her with a boot. Gigi starts crying as she is down on the floor. Jacy stands tall while Damage CTRL enjoy the headline for their first Ding Dong Hello! show together.

🔴 Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson w/ AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor & Damian Priest w/ Rhea & Dominik: 12min*

The O.C. take the rust off in their first match on Raw in 2 years!

They battle Judgment Day's Damian Priest and Finn Balor!

The O.C. defeat Finn Balor & Damian Priest!

Will the same thing happen in two weeks at Crown Jewel when The O.C. alongside AJ Styles face The Judgment Day?

🔴 Liv Morgan saves Lita from a sneak attack by Doudrop: 9min*

Lita returned to Raw a couple of weeks ago to challenge Liv Morgan to a Raw Women's Championship Match at Crown Jewel! A challenge that was accepted by Morgan without hesitation!

Tonight, Lita addresses the WWE Universe about what it truly means to her to be making history this later at her career alongside the feisty Liv Morgan that she admires a lot.

Doudrop suddenly appeared behind Lita but Liv Morgan wasted no time in saving Lita from this sneak attack!

After teaming up to throw Doudrop off of the top rope, Lita and Liv Morgan share a stare down.

Lita vs. Liv in two weeks!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Damage CTRL invite Naomi & Candice LeRae to Ding Dong Hello!

Still enjoying breaking up Toxic Attraction, Damage CTRL are interrupted backstage by Liv Morgan's friends, Naomi & Candice LeRae.

Damage CTRL tell LeRae & Naomi that maybe they should be their next guests so that they can play a hand in breaking up their meaningless team too but LeRae and Naomi have some important news for them.

Next week, Damage CTRL will defend their FBW Women's Tag Titles against Naomi & LeRae!

🔴 Baron Corbin w/ JBL vs. Madcap Moss w/ Aliyah: 7min*

The "Modern Day Wrestling God" Baron Corbin faces the fastest-rising star in Madcap Moss who is joined by his lovely girlfriend Aliyah!

Baron Corbin defeats Madcap Moss due to an unintentional distraction from Aliyah!

Was Kevin Owens right about Aliyah being a distraction to Moss like Ezekiel was for Owens himself?

🔴 Sam Rigleer vs. "Intercontinental" Austin Theory: 7min*

With a title opportunity at stake for Sam Rigleer, Austin Theory better reach his limits in the fray with the first-ever Universal Champion in FBW.

This being their fourth encounter with a record of 2-1 in favor of Theory, it's safe to say these two superstars know each other very well by now.

However, no decisive result took place as Lashley and Rollins stormed the match to attack the two competitors.

Theory defeats Rigleer via disqualification.

🔴 Austin Theory & Seth Rollins vs. Sam Rigleer & Bobby Lashley: 9min*

Before their Fatal 4-Way Match next week for Theory's Intercontinental Title, the four superstars form impossible tag teams.

Impossible indeed as the match transforms into a chaotic all-out brawl.

Double no-contest. Who will walk out Intercontinental Champion next week?

⭕ MAIN EVENT: Logan Paul knocks out Brock Lesnar in shocking contract-signing: 17min*

Brock Lesnar returned three weeks ago on SmackDown where he planted Logan Paul with a devastating F-5 and a match was later announced for Crown Jewel that will see The Beast Incarnate and Logan Paul collide one-on-one.

The WWE Universe rallied behind Brock Lesnar two weeks ago Monday on Raw as he represents them in his journey of teaching Logan Paul lessons in WWE. The Beast said that he embraced the news of facing Logan Paul and looks forward to deface the social media megastar in less than three weeks!

And this past Monday, Logan Paul showed a different side of him for the first time since his clash with Floyd Mayweather, the Social Media Megastar said that he isn't afraid at all from stepping in the ring with any man who claims to be a beast, just like he was never afraid heading into the boxing ring, and that the world will understand how vicious Logan Paul is once they witness the face-off between him and Brock Lesnar.

Now is the time for that face-to-face as the Beast and Paul sign the contract for their Crown Jewel match.

After trading words and multiple attempts by Logan Paul to make this match personal with Brock Lesnar, the Beast looked unfazed.

When it was time to sign the contract, Logan Paul threw a vicious punch at Brock Lesnar that saw him get knocked out over the table!

This is the first time ever that The Beast was put away by anyone! Is this enough to destroy Lesnar's confidence heading into Crown Jewel?

Logan Paul finally signed the contract as Lesnar struggles back on his feet.
