Jeff Hardy def. Elias – Guitar on a Pole Match
Jeff Hardy and Elias have spent weeks looking to hit the right chord, and The Charismatic Enigma delivered the smash hit in a Guitar on a Pole Match. Hardy showed off his vintage high-flying skill to keep the power of Elias grounded throughout the match. The iconic Superstar finally seized control with a Twist of Fate and climbed the turnbuckle. With the guitar in hand, Hardy dropped from the sky to take out Elias and walloped him with the six-string to claim the victory.
Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler def. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke – Women’s Tag Team Title Match
Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke were looking for a championship breakthrough against Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler, but Lana couldn’t let the rest of Team Raw draw all the attention. As the title match raged on, Lana turned heads with her entrance to ringside. Lana created a distraction that appeared to save Brooke from a vicious Baszler hold, but the diversion grabbed the official’s attention during Brooke’s roll-up. The Queen of Spades wouldn’t let victory slide away again, as Baszler locked in the Kirifuda Clutch to get Brooke to tap out.
Bobby Lashley def. R-Truth, drags Drew Gulak to 24/7 Title win
R-Truth dug himself a hole when he inadvertently set a match with United States Champion Bobby Lashley. The 24/7 Champion couldn’t stop a steamroll from The All Mighty, who secured the tap-out victory with a Full Nelson. Lashley had one more Full Nelson available for the hard-charging Drew Gulak, but he had one act of charity left for The Philadelphia Stretcher. The United States Champion dragged Gulak’s arm over the wounded champion and stripped R-Truth of his baby.
Braun Strowman def. Keith Lee, Sheamus – Triple Threat Match for Survivor Series spot
As AJ Styles laid out his plans as the self-proclaimed captain of Team Raw for Survivor Series, The Monster came knocking for his opportunity. It was a clash of titans as Braun Strowman, Keith Lee and Sheamus locked horns in a Triple Threat Match with Strowman looking to secure a spot at Survivor Series. The three behemoths put on a jaw-dropping display of strength that saw Lee toss The Celtic Warrior, and all three men come crashing in shattering fashion to the center of the ring. Strowman pounced on Sheamus with a thunderous Powerslam to punch his Survivor Series ticket. Will Team Raw pick up the pieces after the larger-than-life collision?
Nia Jax def. Lana
After another run-in with Nia Jax earlier in the night, Lana reached a boiling point and stepped into the ring with the imposing Superstar. Lana did her best to persevere through the punishment, but Jax secured the win with a Samoan Drop to her fellow Team Raw member. As Jax made her way up the ramp, she couldn’t help but come back and keep Lana’s announce table shattering streak going.
Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin def. The New Day – Non-Title Match
The Hurt Business announced their intentions of cashing in on their golden dreams and took a big first step with a victory over The New Day. After Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods threw shade at The Hurt Business, Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin brought the fight to the Raw Tag Team Champions in a non-title matchup. Woods seemed poised to send The New Day toward victory, but Alexander struck with a Neuralyzer, and Shelton Benjamin followed with a Paydirt in a flawless display of teamwork for the win.
Ricochet def. Tucker
The appearance of Mustafa Ali cast a dark shadow over the match before it even began between Ricochet and Tucker. With a sense of urgency, Ricochet hit Tucker with a Recoil to secure a quick victory. The celebration was immediately cut short as the emergence of RETRIBUTION brought destruction to both competitors. T-BAR and MACE landed the most vicious final blows to Ricochet, as the vengeful group laid waste to the high-flyer.
Drew McIntyre def. The Miz & John Morrison – 1-on-2 Handicap Match
All Drew McIntyre is focused on is reclaiming the WWE Championship from Randy Orton and is prepared to crush anyone who steps in his way. After The Miz tried to cash in his Money in the Bank contract earlier in the night, a Claymore from McIntyre was waiting for him. The Miz & John Morrison played to their numbers advantage throughout the match, but the Scottish Superstar proved up to the challenge. McIntyre delivered one more shattering Claymore to The Miz, but it was Randy Orton who had the final word with an RKO on McIntyre to end the night.
