WWE RAW REPORT: WWE FANS CAN CHEER FOR SOMEONE NAMED GABLE, CODY AND BROCK, SHAYNA AND RONDA TALK ABOUT THEIR MATCH, DID ZOEY AND TRISH OUTSMART BECKY?, AND MORE

Shinsuke Nakamura is in the back and Tommaso Ciampa enters.  

CIampa says they could have gone their separate ways but Nakamura still has a problem.  CIampa says he is going to settle that problem.  After tonight, I am going to win the SummerSlam Battle Royal.

Nakamura says he will see Ciampa in the ring, but he will be winning the Battle Royal on Saturday.  Problem solved.

THE Judgment Day are still in the ring and Priest wants everyone to rise for THE Judgment Day.  Rhea says Raw doesn't start until they say it does.  Rhea says if you don't want to fall in line, they have no problem putting them on the shelf.  Who is going to stop them?

Priest wants to run through the heroes on Raw.  Kevin Owens?  No.  We took him out.  Sami Zayn?  No.  We left him laying.  Seth Rollins?  Impossible after the epic beating they gave him on Raw.  We know what Mami did to Liv Morgan.  Nobody can stop THE Judgment Day.

If Sami and Seth decide to show up tonight, Dom and him will make sure they don't leave the arena whole.

Finn tells Seth he comes out week after week and you act insane.  Your idea of insanity is coming out dressed in stupid clothes, singing and dancing, and laughing like a clown.  Insanity is looking in the mirror every day for seven years and looking at the scars in the mirror.  Looking at the career that you have ruined.  I cannot erase those scars, but I will inflict those scars.  It will make him feel a little better that you will look in the mirror and remember the night Finn Balor beat you for the World Championship.

Dominik says at SummerSlam, all of THE Judgment Day will have the goodies.   He says he is bringing back the Mysterio name.

Rhea says Dom will bring some pride to the Mysterio name.  As for any idiot who tries to get in their way, she advises to take a page out of Raquel Rodriguez' book.  That is run and hide.  They will have to enjoy their time in rehab like Liv Morgan and Kevin Owens.

Raquel Rodriguez' music plays and she makes her way to the ring.

Raquel and Rhea exchange punches and Raquel sends Rhea into the corner.  Raquel tosses Rhea by the hair and she punches Rhea and clotheslines her over the top rope to the floor. Raquel sends Rhea into the ringside barrier.  Raquel runs Rhea into the ring post.  Raquel sends Rhea into the ringside barrier and then she goes after Dom.  That distraction allows Rhea to clip Raquel and she goes down.

Officials finally make their way to ringside and that does not stop Rhea.   

We have a video package for the feud between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.

Ronda says she learned about Shayna from Strikeforce.  She acted like she belonged there.  When they were on the Ultimate Fighter together, she knew that Shayna was her first pick.  Shayna says she had a chip on her shoulder coming into The Ultimate Fighter.  She did not hate on Ronda right away.  Ronda says she didn't know if Shayna is her protege but they got to the final minute and Shayna said that Ronda never put her in an arm bar.

Shayna says there is an image of Ronda outside the cage.  It is for people to live with Ronda so she can take control of them.  Shayna says she was Ronda's sparring partner to prepare Ronda for her opponents.  How many times did Ronda appear at her fight camps?  This has been set up since Day One for Ronda to be elevated to this position despite what everyone has done before her.  It happened in MMA and won't happen now.

We are back and Chad praises Maxxine for her win and says she represented Alpha Academy well and they will do the same on Sunday.

Imperium show up and he wants to know why they are not talking about Ludwig's performance.

Maxxine says that her men are former tag team champions.

Ludwig says that Chad would not last five minutes with the Ring General.

Gunther says he has been dealing with some issues and he is okay facing Chad.

Gable says he is up for that but he tells Gunther to leave his crew in the back and he will do the same with his.
