Tonight's show starts off with a graphic In Memory of Chavo Guerrero Sr, who passed away over the weekend.

We are in Las Vegas, Nevada and your announcers are Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

Stephanie McMahon comes to the ring.

She welcomes everyone to Raw, as only Stephanie can.  Stephanie says Mick was a little tired and overworked last week.  That is why he embarrassed himself so much with Samoa Joe's contract signing.  Stephanie says she has been benevolent and given Mick the week off.  He better have his priorities in place next week.  Stephanie says she is running things tonight.

Roman Reigns comes to the ring.

Roman says he will keep this short and sweet.  He is not waiting for Fastlane, he wants Braun Strowman right now.

Stephanie says since she is running Raw tonight, it is not about her, it is about the people watching Raw.  She asks if people want to see the match at Fastlane or tonight.

Stephanie says the people do not care about Roman.  They do not care that you were beaten to a pulp last week.  Stephanie says she cares about Roman.

Roman says he does not care about what anyone thinks, especially Stephanie.

Stephanie says Roman will have to wait to face Braun Strowman because Brawn is going to face Mark Henry.

Roman likes that match and he says maybe he will come out and watch that match.

Stephanie says if Roman lays a hand on Braun, she will take away his match at Fastlane and maybe he will keep Roman off Wrestlemania.

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows make their way to the stage.

Karl apologizes for interrupting but they could not sit in the back and listen to Roman disrespecting Stephanie any longer.  Luke tells Roman you can't always get what you want.  Karl says Roman is not used to being told no.  He says that Braun cannot have Strowman.  Luke suggests they go two on one against Roman Reigns.

Stephanie says in honor of Teddy Long being inducted into the Hall of Fame, we have a handicap match.
