Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan Segment 

Rhea Ripley: I’ve had a lot of time to think about exactly what happened at SummerSlam. I’ve relived t in my head, every single day since. I felt every single emotion you can possibly feel in a situation like this. I’ve felt embarrassment. I’ve felt heartbreak. But, right now, the feeling that I’m feeling is, I’m really just pissed the hell off. Dominik, you stabbed me in the back. And the thing is, and this is probably something that you’ve heard before, it just wasn’t deep enough. And then, Liv Morgan, you managed to run away with my championship, but the thing is, you can’t run forever. I’m Rhea Bloody Ripley, and it’s time that I remind Liv and Dom exactly who the hell I am. So, I invite you both to my ring.

Liv Morgan: Hi, Rhea. Hello. I think that Daddy Dom has some things that he’d like to get off his chest.

Dominik Mysterio: Rhea, do you know why I left you for Liv?

Rhea Ripley: Guys, guys, don’t worry, I’m loving the fact that you’re booing him, too, but I kind of want to know what he’s about to say, because I love hearing excuses.

Dominik Mysterio: You want to know why I left you for Liv? I am a man and deserve to be treated like one. You tried to change me, instead of letting me be me. And you know how embarrassing it was for you to be bossing me around? A grown man calling you, Mami? Now, I got a girl that calls me Daddy. She gives me chicken tendies whenever I want. She allows me to play video games whenever I want. She lets me be me. And she did something you could never do. Finally helping me beat my dead-beat dad.

Rhea Ripley: You know what, Dom? I’m going to say something that you probably haven’t heard for a long, long time. I’m proud of you. I’m proud of everything that you’ve accomplished over the last couple of years. Watching you grow into the man that you are today is one of my biggest accomplishments. I mean, you finally did something for yourself, and you won gold. We were able to accomplish so much. But the one thing is, when it comes to your dad, I really just wanted you to beat him on your own, because I wanted there to be no excuse that you were better than him. But now I guess since you want to start making your own decisions like a grown man, I should probably be proud of you for that, too, but the only problem is, it’s the last decision that you’ll ever make.

Liv Morgan: Oh, my goodness. Oh, Rhea, please. There’s only one thing you said that is true, and it’s that Dominik is a man, and he’s all mine. I mean, look at yourself, Rhea, you quite literally have nothing. Look at yourself. You have no family. Your real family is a million miles away, and the family that you found in The Judgment Day, I took them, they’re mine. Dominik, he’s mine. The Women’s World Championship, it’s mine. I’ll have Dominik’s sloppy seconds all day, every day. And this Women’s Division is mine. Everything that you loved is mine.

Rhea Ripley: Are you done? I would love you to shut the hell up. You said that you’ve taken everything away from me, but that’s actually wrong. Look, you have taken a lot from me, yeah, a lot of my weak links. But the one thing that you really did wrong, you left me standing, Liv. And as long as I’m standing, I’m going to be coming for you, and you’re going to have to kill me to stop me. And, you know, it’s quite flattering that you love the sound of your own voice, because we’d be able to find out where you are.

Xavier Woods: Karrion, are you not tired of this? Are you not tired of coming out here, week after week, doing your absolute best to try drive a wedge between us? It’s not going to work. So, you know what, why don’t we go ahead and fast forward to the part where we find out, which two of you next week are going to step up?

Kofi Kingston: Hold up, I got a better idea. Because if we make this a tag team match, the one of you that’s not involved is going to get themselves involved. So, how about we get everyone involved, in a 6-Man Tag Team Match? I’m talking about The Final Testament versus your boys, The New Day and Odyssey Jones. What do you say, Karrion?

Karrion Kross: You know, there’s an old saying, the devil’s work is never done. I accept your challenge.

Pete Dunne Sit-Down Interview 

Jackie Redmond: Pete, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with me. Let’s get right to it. Obviously, you’ve been at odds with Sheamus in recent weeks, which has left the WWE Universe a little confused. I mean, when you came up from NXT, it was Sheamus taking you under his wing.

Pete Dunne: Jackie, come on. I was never under Sheamus wing, he was under mine. He never elevated me. He held me down, I elevated him. He went on a run of a lifetime with me in his corner. And what did that get me? A terrible nickname, and a front row seat to The Sheamus Show. So, let me ask you this. If he was really all about the boys, if he really had the brutes under his wing, then what happened to Ridge? Where is he?

Jackie Redmond: Okay, it’s clear that you hold some sort of resentment for the way things ended with Sheamus, for being called Butch.

Pete Dunne: Don’t say that name. I never want to hear that name again. For two years, I had to swallow my pride. I had to let Sheamus little brother me. I’m not Butch. I’m the Bruiserweight. I’m Pete Dunne. I’m an 18-year vet in my own sport. And if I have to shut Sheamus up, just so I never have to hear that name again, then that’s what I’m going to do.

Jackie Redmond: Okay, well, listen, Pete, I really appreciate you being honest with me with where you stand with all of this. Thank you, again.

Damage CTRL Promo 

It seems as if everybody forgot who Damage CTRL is. Damage CTRL changed this business. Damage CTRL controls the future. Even now that we’ve been cut in half, Damage CTRL is still the most dominant force in the history of the WWE Women’s Division. Tonight, we remind the world and take another step to regaining the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Sonya, Shayna, Zoey, you guys seem to be confused. So let me make it simple. The only way you challenge us is when you attack us from behind. What you did to Dakota will be repaid tenfold. You took something from us. And for that, we’re going to take something from you. We’re going to take away your dreams. Rest assured, as long as Damage CTRL runs Raw, you will never achieve our glory.

Randy Orton, GUNTHER, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre Segment 

Randy Orton: How are you doing, Austin, Texas? I got a little history for you. 20 years ago, this month, 20 years ago, I won the World Title for the very first time. I became the youngest world champion in history on that night, 20 years ago. And in a few short weeks, at the Bash In Berlin, history will repeat itself, and I will become a 15-time World Heavyweight Champion. Now. Ladies and gentlemen, take a picture, remember this moment in time, remember the atmosphere, because in a few short weeks, at the Bash In Berlin, I’m going to beat this guy, and then his Friday nights are not going to be free anymore, and Monday Night Raw is going to be my new home.

GUNTHER: Well, you’re right, everybody, take a picture of him, memorize the moment, because that’s Randy Orton, one of the greatest of all-time. But Randy, let’s be honest, instead of that, you should be the greatest of all-time. The most natural and physically gifted talent this industry has ever seen. Unlimited potential. And Randy, you took all of that and wasted it. Randy, you better look at me, because I want you to understand something. This is a new era. This is the era of The Ring General. And in my era, there’s no room for people that waste their potential. In the future of my era, Randy, you won’t play a role anymore.

Randy Orton: I’m going to stop you right there, man. I never claimed to be perfect. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve actually made a lot of mistakes. I would venture to say that I’ve made more mistakes than just about everybody in that locker room. But here’s the thing, GUNTHER, I’ve owned up to those mistakes. I changed course. You see, I think maybe you’ve forgot who you’re talking to. Let me remind you just who you are talking to. My name is Randy Orton. And I am the most unpredictable, the most violent, the most controversial, yet successful WWE Superstar in the history of game. And you say that this is a curse? My friend, you got it all wrong, I look at it as a gift. Now, you can have your opinion, but I’ve done it my way the entire time. And I will always do it my way, the American Way. I’ve got 5 beautiful kids at home. I got a hot-ass smoke show of a wife waiting for me back in St. Louis. And the cherry on top, GUNTHER, I’m a 14-Time, soon to be 15-Time WWE World Champion. So, again, I appreciate your opinion, but I think I’ve done pretty good for myself.

GUNTHER: Randy, that’s all good for you, but I got stuck when you said that you’re unpredictable. I think it’s the opposite, I think you’re very predictable. So, let me predict a few things for you. Prediction Number One: I’m going to give you the beating of your lifetime when we meet in Berlin. Prediction Number Two: Because of that, Randy, you will never be World Heavyweight Champion again. If anybody wonders why I’m so assured of that, Randy, let’s be honest, when it really matters, you always screw it up. Listen to me, I don’t want to throw this at you like an insult, because it just comes naturally to you, because your grandfather was a screwup. Your father was a screwup. And you, Randy Orton, you are the biggest screwup of them all.

– Sheamus tells Jackie Redmond that he’s unsure why Pete Dunne holds so much resentment towards him. To him it’s odd now that Pete is trying to use Sheamus to keep himself relevant. Ludwig Kaiser brags about the banger they put on last week. Don’t be mistaken, this issue is far from over according to Kaiser. Ludwig says that he’s going to put an end to The Celtic Warrior. Pete proceeds to attack Sheamus with the shillelagh.

– CM Punk tells Cathy Kelley that he told a little white lie, because he figured if he showed up to the building, Drew McIntyre wouldn’t. We all saw how fast he ran out of the building. It’s not about the bracelet, hell, Drew can keep the bracelet, it’s the context and the names on that bracelet. He’s not allowed to talk about AJ Lee or Larry without repercussions. He’s glad that he came to Austin, Texas. This will not stop until he gets his hands on Drew. And maybe Drew will call him a hypocrite for claiming that he had travel issues, but this is a man who says that he hates CM Punk yet wants to attach himself to him. He’s running from a fight he picked. Punk makes a hint that a Strap Match can make everybody happy.

– Mark & Jacob Henry are in the crowd.
