We take a look back at what happened last week when Riddle defeated AJ Styles.

Sarah is with The Viking Raiders in the back.  She asks them about their singles matches and how they plan to approach their matches.  Ivar says he will be facing AJ Styles, who has insulted their way of life and said that Vikings are nothing more than smelly barbaric brutes.  Ivar says they have spectacular and excellent hygiene.  Tonight, AJ will learn respect for the Viking culture after he gives him a phenomenal beating.  

Erik says he has the tall task of facing the massive Omos.  This is his first one on one battle and I will use that inexperience to find a crack in his mighty armor and get the victory.  Next week, we will raise the Raw Tag titles above their head.

We go to commercial.

AJ Styles is in the ring and he says before they put on an absolute clinic, he needs to get something off his chest.  Ivar . . . Erik, I said some things about the Vikings that you might have found offensive.  I want to apologize.  I never should have called you barbarians.  I should have called you uneducated barbarians who never should have come off their wooden boat to come after the Raw Tag Team Champions.  If you haven't kept up with what's going on with the Viking Raiders and the Raw Tag Team Champions, they have been sticking their noses in our business and kept me out of the Money in the Bank ladder match.  Ivar, I will take your leg and break it in the Calf Crusher.  After that, Omos will have his first ever singles match on Raw.  He will destroy Erik so badly he wishes he never took off his ridiculous horned helmet.  At Money in the Bank, we will destroy them limb from limb and show why we are the Raw Tag Team Champions.

We are back and Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are walking in the back and they see Lucha House Party.  Lince wishes Kofi luck at Money in the Bank.

Sarah ambushes Kofi and Xavier and asks if this is a sign of what is going to happen on Sunday.  Sarah mentions that Bobby is back and he will be in the VIP Lounge.  Kofi says that Bobby would rather be distracted than focus on his match against Kofi.  Xavier says that Kofi will continue the momentum from tonight to win the title.  Kofi says Bobby should know how hard it is to become WWE Champion.  Being champion is about being on your best grind and face all challengers.  Those days will be back when I beat Bobby Lashley to become the WWE Champion.
