WWE RAW REPORT: US TITLE MATCH, TAG TITLE MATCH, A COMMITMENT FOR THE AGES, AND MORE

We see Jeff Brooks being stretchered out in the back.

Kevin Owens is in the ring with Chad Gable.

Owens says he despises liars.  There is a new superstar Ezekiel, fraudulently claiming to be Elias' brother.  That man is Elias.  He says he will expose him to be the fraud he is.  Kevin says he is the only one sane enough to find him out by applying a lie detector test.  Kevin says he wanted to show that it was not biased so he got the smartest man in the WWE Universe to do it.  He will expose him as a liar and then beat him in a match.

Chad says he will remain objective and uncover the truth to see if Ezekiel is who he says he is.  If he lies, he will beat the truth out of him.

Ezekiel says he is sick and tired of playing Law and Order and he says he is sick and tired of being called a liar by the biggest liar.  Ezekiel says he is excited that he gets to have his first match.

Kevin says he does not care if Ezekiel wants to have his first match in Canada's landfill.  Kevin tells him to admit that he is Elias.

We go to footage from last week when Styles attacked Damian Priest in the back.

Edge and Damian Priest are in their Condo of Purple.

Damian asks if people were wondering why they want to make AJ's life so miserable.  Edge says last week was mind games.  This side of him was there, but it was dormant.  The seeds were there from the Brood and Ministry of Darkness.  Why is this happening?  AJ cannot understand because he is a man of the people.  They have not lived up to their capabilities.  Last year, Damian Priest was the background for Bad Bunny.  If it wasn't for him Bad Bunny would have been wiped on the mat.  Edge says Damian did not have a match at Wrestlemania and then he had to beg for an opponent.  Edge says he needs a title.  He says it took two years for people to complain about him.  I finally decided not to care what you think and take back what I never lost.  My spot on the pinnacle of the Mountain of Omnipotence.  

The only person who is challenging them is AJ Styles.  Edge says that he is challenging AJ to a match at Backlash.  They have finally decided to seize the day.  What that means for you is that it is your Judgment Day.

We are back and Sarah ambushes AJ to ask him about Edge's challenge.

AJ says if Edge is the judge, then does that mean Damian Priest is his big bad bailiff.  He accepts the challenge.

The lights start to flicker and they turn purple.
