Titus O'Neil is in the ring.
Titus says when he came to WWE and became a tag team champion and entered the Hall of Fame as a Warrior Award Recipient, I thought I had reached the height of my personal achievements. I did not know I would reach the pinnacle until I became your WWE Global Ambassador. I get a chance to represent WWE all over the globe. It is something we need now more than ever. We need to provide goodwill. Each and every one of us try to put smiles on your faces inside and outside the ring. Whether it is helping those less fortunate or supporting our servicemen and women all over the world. Titus says they promote causes that help family and allow people to do good. We get to spread goodness and goodwill. That is why you will never hear us talk about religion or politics or anything else that is divisive. Regardless of your race, economic status, or your nationality, this is a place where we deserve to have a safe haven and make sure that we all have a good time.
That is what we are going ot do tonight. Welcome to Raw.
We take a look back at what happened last week between Bianca Belair and Carmella for the Raw Women's Championship.
Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
Becky welcomes everyone to the big time. She says you know the story of the Little Engine that Could. An engine carried a heavy load and met obstacle after obstacle and moved on. That has been my journey since Wrestlemania. I am no little blue choo choo. I am a ginger locomotive. You can call me the Big Time Becks Express. When she comes unhinged I cannot be stopped. I rolled right over Asuka. When the train is coming, it stops for nobody. Everybody stops for the train, just like I stopped five women on the way to Money in the Bank. But every journey has to hit its stations. I have hit defeat junction and loser place, but I have hit legendary road. Now you can get off at appreciation station when I become the next Raw Women's Champion.
I am happy to hear that you love that. I have been told that the winner of the title match that is about to happen will have to face me at SummerSlam for the Raw Women's Championship. I could, can, and will become your new Raw Women's Champion.
Bianca Belair comes out and she has something to say.
She says Becky knows what she did last week was foul. You had to cause a distraction to get me counted out so I could lose my match. Let me tell you something. You can do whatever you want to do to take the focus off me and put it on you. This is not the Becky Lynch Wrestlemania Comeback Story. This is Bianca Belair's comeback story from last year's SummerSlam. Losing the title to you in 26 seconds was disappointing. It shocked everyone and I vowed to myself that I would use every opportunity as a chance to redeem my reputation.
Look at us now. A whole year later and I did just that. When I beat Carmella tonight, I will rewrite that last chapter and kick your little caboose back to Ireland.
Carmella comes out and she says that you are making a mistake by overlooking me. I am a badass with a bad ass. I beat you last week and it is convenient that you were distracted by Becky and could not beat the count back into the ring. Maybe Bianca thought she was outmatched and had to take a short cut. Regardless, It does not matter that if you get counted out again, Mella will not only be money but your new champion.
Bianca says she is sick and tired of the talking.
Becky hits Bianca from behind and Carmella and Becky attack Bianca. Bianca kicks Becky and Carmella and gives Becky shoulders in the corner. Carmella with forearms but Bianca with a forearm. Becky with a uranage to Bianca.

We take a look at what happened on Smackdown to offset what happened at Money in the Bank between The Usos and Street Profits and then the announcement of guest referee Jeff Jarrett.
Sarah is in the back with The Street Profits. She asks them about Jeff Jarrett being the guest referee. Dawkins says if any Slapnuts get out of line . . . Ford says it does not matter who you are because the Street Profits are walking out of Nashville as the tag champions.
MVP and Omos show up and Porter says you better be glad that Omos was not named the guest referee after what happened last week to you Dawkins.
Dawkins says that is tough talk from a hype man. If you want to step up.
Porter says he would love to tag with Omos but he is not dressed for it. He says he will talk to Adam Pearce about a match between Omos and Angelo Dawkins.
Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Kevin says the Kevin Owens Show is back on Raw. He says he knows you missed him and before he tells everyone where he has been, he wants to bring out his guest . . . Riddle.
Riddle thanks Owens for having him on the show but he says he is here because Owens promised him a Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
Kevin thanks Riddle for coming out. He does not know anything about Mountain Dew. Kevin says he has not been here the last few weeks. Kevin says he was obsessed and almost drove himself crazy to prove that Ezekiel and Elias were the same person. Kevin says he took a step back and went on a nature retreat. He says he saw something that he admired with Riddle. Riddle is always cool, calm, and collected. Kevin says he does not know if Riddle has any assistance to be that way. Kevin says he does not care about Ezekiel, Elias, or Elrod. The reason he called Riddle out here is because of his match at SummerSlam against Seth Rollins. Kevin says Seth caused him great anguish. Seth used to act like my best friend but he betrayed me when I fought my hardest. I lost my best friend just like you lost your best friend, Randy Orton.
Kevin says everybody needs some backup, especially in WWE. The answer is right in front of him. RK-Bro was good but Bro-KO could be great.
Riddle says he does not want to get ahead of himself. Riddle says Owens is the biggest liar he knows.
Kevin says he knows that Riddle can think that. I have changed and no one will be able to call me a liar. You trusted Randy Orton, the biggest snake in WWE. No one was ever less trustworthy.
Riddle says he would not have come out here if Kevin was going to talk about Randy like that.
Riddle gets in Kevin’s face and Seth’s music plays.
Kevin says he had nothing to do with that.
Seth’s music plays again and he hits Riddle from behind and hits Black Out.

Seth poses in front of Riddle.
We take a look at The Mysterios and THE Judgment Day.
We are back and Seth cackles in the back and Kevin Patrick asks why is he attacking Riddle.
Seth says Riddle has gotten to him. He says that Riddle is so stupid that he thinks Orton can help him and he turned down Owens' help. Riddle is stupid to think he can win.
Ezekiel shows up and he says that Seth cannot do that to Riddle.
Seth tells Ezekiel he will do what he wants when he wants. He can stomp anyone.
Ezekiel tells Seth not to talk about his family.
Seth tells Ezekiel to get out of his business.
Ezekiel says business is about to pick up.
Seth cackles and backs away from Ezekiel.
Damian Priest wants everyone to RISE for a prince. RISE for a punisher. RISE for THE Judgment Day. Last week, we chose not to injure Dominik Mysterio because we believe he will make the right decision and join them. Tonight, Dominik will join THE Judgment Day. We saw the look in your eye and we know that you are ready to stop your father. He is stifling your potential. Let us remind you what happened the last time a legend tried to stifle us.
We look back at the night the Edge was kicked out of his own group.
