We take a look back at what happened last week to Christian at the forearm of Ric Flair and boot of Randy Orton.

Edge is in a ring and he says you won at Backlash, but you didn't live up to your claim of being a better natural wrestler.  You hit me with an RKO and tore my tricep off the bone.  I kept fighting.  You will say that you kept me around to prove a point, but that is bulls***.  I saw it in your eyes when I was about to hit you with the anti-venom.  Then you hit me with a coincidental low blow.  I watched Raw last week and saw Randy call himself the greatest wrestler because he won the greatest wrestling match.  Yell it from the mountaintop and put it on whatever you want.  

I expect to beat you.  Edge says he is disappointed he didn't see the low blow coming and he is disappointed he didn't do it first.  That isn't going to happen again.  You said I lit a fire your gut and I reminded you that you are the Legend Killer.  This match and this injury.  Not being able to pick up my daughters on Father's Day.  It showed me that I needed to open a side of me that has been dormant for years.  When you backed Jay into a corner and questioned his manhood and challenged him to a match when he was not medically cleared.

We have been friends for 36 years.  He has walked through every trial and tribulation in his life.  When you did that, you attacked a man who was excited to be back doing what he loved to do.  Edge says he is thankful.  Edge says he will sink to any level to get what he wants.  He does not care how many backs he bruises to get to the top.  He does not care about winning a match now.  He says he will embarrass and emasculate you.  You are going to wish that Cowboy Bob was firing blanks on the night you were conceived.

Your children will ask you if you are okay.  You and your wife won't be able to look each other in the eyes because you know it will be coming.  Edge says his voice is going to be added to the chorus in your head.  I will make sure that every aspect of your life is destroyed.  He will destroy it from the inside.  You have no idea what you have done.  You have woken up the evil.  You woke up the Rated R Superstar.  Get some sleep while you can Randy.

Randy Orton is approached by Charly Caruso.  Randy asks Charly if she knows what a snake does when it is threatened.  It will bite and it will strike wildly and blindly.  It will defend its clutch of eggs and do what it takes to survive.  Edge and Christian try to have their comebacks at Randy's expense.  Randy says he will do what he has to do to defend his family and his livelihood.  He will do what he has to do to survive.  That is mother nature.

Randy says he hopes Edge and Christian have full recoveries and they live long and full lives.  As long as they do it far far far far away from him.

Randy says he has something to discuss with the Nature Boy.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Charly Caruso stops Charlotte and asks her how to handle this loss.

Charlotte says she gives Asuka credit for targeting the arm.

Nia Jax attacks Charlotte from behind and sends her into a ring apron.  Nia asks Charlotte if her arm hurts.  NIa slams the top of a storage unit onto Charlotte's arm.

Match Number Three:  Akira Tozawa (with ninjas) versus R Truth for the 24/7 Title

Lashley and MVP show up at ringside before the bell rings and they attack the ninjas.  Lashley puts Truth in the full nelson.

Tozawa looks up from under the ring and he covers R Truth for the three count.

Winner:  Akira Tozawa (new Champion)

Natalya shows up and she says that Charlotte's arm looked so bad and with Becky Lynch on Diaper Duty, Raw needs her leadership.  Natalya says Sarah dropped the ball because she had a huge announcement to make.  Natalya says you will have to wait beacuse she has a huge announcement.

We go to commercial.

Match Number Four:  Liv Morgan versus Natalya (with Lana)

They lock up and Natalya with a discus clothesline for a near fall.  Natalya with a back breaker and Liv grabs the ropes to force the hold to be released.  Natalya knocks Liv off the apron.  Liv with a head scissors to Natalya that sends her into the ring steps.  Liv sends Natalya back into the ring but Lana distracts Liv and Natalya clips Liv and Natalya with a Sharpshooter that forces Liv to tap out.

Winner:  Natalya

Charly Caruso stops Big Show and asks if he thought he would be fighting off ninjas with the tag team champions.  Show says when you think you have seen everything, then you see ninjas.  Show says he came by to say hello to some friends.  Show mentions his show on Netflix.  He is not here about fun tonight.  He says people forget too soon that behind this fun exterior, there is one heartless, angry giant.  When that guy comes out, he can do what he wants to anyone he wants and there is nothing that you can do about that.  The World's Largest Athlete is going to sit in the back because there is a Big Heartless Giant going to the ring.

Ric Flair makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.
