We begin tonight's show with a graphic In Memory of Bobby Heenan.
We are in San Jose, California and your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Booker T.
Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring.
He welcomes everyone to Raw and he mentions that they are six days away from No Mercy and he is excited. Kurt says there are two matches that are Wrestlemania worthy. John Cena versus Roman Reigns. Two icons that don't like each other. Brock Lesnar defends the Universal Title against Braun Strowman.
The Miz' music interrupts and he comes to the ring with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.
Kurt says he is so glad Miz could come out here. He congratulates Miz for being a father.
Miz tells Kurt to save his well wishes. He is sick of being looked over again. He says he is seen as an afterthought. You are hyping No Mercy, but you are doing it without your biggest star. This is the second pay per view in a row that the Intercontinental Title will not be defended.
Kurt says Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Elias, and Jason Jordan will be in a Fatal Four Way Match to see who faces Miz at No Mercy.
Miz says if you want a bad guitar player or the Hardys to have a shot, that is fine, but there are too many people who deserve a shot ahead of Jason Jordan. Miz says that Bo and Curtis have done so much and are always passed over. Miz asks Kurt if Jason will give him a World's Greatest Father mug.
Kurt says that he hopes Miz wil change when he becomes a father.
Miz says he will be there from day one and he will never have to ask why didn't daddy want me. Miz says he will be a better father than Kurt Angle and a better champion than Kurt ever way. Miz says they should be the priority but you are making it Jason Jordan and you are doing it at the expense of the locker room. It does not matter if you are abandoning your duties as Raw General Manager or walking out on your unborn son. You can always count on Kurt Angle to be a deadbeat.
Jason Jordan's music comes out and he tells Miz if he says anything else about Kurt, he will knock Miz' teeth down his throat. Jason tells dad that he has a suggestion. He tells Kurt to put Bo and Curtis in the match so Miz cannot make any excuses when he faces Miz for the title.
Miz reminds Jordan that he has given himself a worse chance to win and he is incompetent like his dad.
Jordan attacks Axel and Dallas.
Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax walk in the back because their match is next. We go to commercial.
We are back and Jason Jordan is stopped by his father from pacing and he tells Jason to focus. Jason says he hears it from everyone and he sees the looks. When they see what he does to Miz for the Intercontinental Title, the looks and whispers are going to stop.
Kurt wants to know what happens if it continues. Will he attack everyone? Kurt tells Jason he can fight back but it takes more strength to not fight back. He knows what Jason can do. To get back at the Miz, win tonight and then beat him on Sunday for the Intercontinental Title.

Sheamus and Cesaro are in the ring and Sheamus talks about nostalgia and how it is everywhere. All of you love nostalgia. You love to avoid your harsh realities of the good old days. They do not live in the past, they live in the present. They destroy nostalgia acts like the Hardys.
Cesaro says you like Dean and Seth because the Shield is back together and nothing can go wrong. Something will go wrong when they get their hands on them Sunday night.
Sheamus says their friendship is a fraud. They are selfish and they are using the other for their own selfish needs.
Cesaro says it works as long as the good times keep rolling. When the music stops and the fun ends, the nostalgia will fade and the truth will roll in and that truth is that Seth and Dean cannot stand each other.
Sheamus says their friendship is fragile and will crack. Sheamus says they will be there to pick up the Raw Tag Team Titles.
Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose come out and Seth asks if they are the nostalgia acts. He says it looks like Taxi Driver had an ugly baby with Braveheart. He says they are right about something. They are having the times of their lives and no matter what they are brothers.
Dean says that brothers might fight but they don't leave the house dressed like that.
Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows come out and Karl says you both claim to be the best brothers, but Sheamus and Cesaro walked out on them last week. Karl says Dean and Seth are not good brothers and took advantage of their disadvantage. Luke says that doesn't make you brothers, it makes you NERDS
Seth says they shouldn't have said that. Dean says nobody calls him a nerd and then Dean goes after Luke while everyone else battles.Seth sends Anderson out of the ring and the champions are in the ring. We go to commercial.
