WWE RAW REPORT: BRON BREAKS, DREW DECLINES, SETH SAVES, ALPHA ABANDONS, PRIEST POUNCES, AND MORE

Adam Pearce is in the ring and he brings out Drew McIntyre.

We see why Drew was away from Raw for a few days.

Adam says he allowed Drew to be here but he does not want to waste his time.  He says he thinks they are on the verge of something special with Drew.  CM Punk versus Drew McIntyre can be special.  He wants the match and he thinks the people want this match.  He says CM Punk is doing everything to get medically cleared because he wants that match.  He asks Drew how bad does he want that match.

Drew says he wants this match more than anything else in the world.

Pearce says they need to leave the pettiness and irrational behavior behind.  If they can do that, he is ready to do business.

Drew says he is ready to do business.  He understands that Pearce did what he had to do.  He knows he should have been in that ring with Punk and Seth.  He says it does not matter what they want, it matters what the people want.

He asks if the people are ready for them at SummerSlam.

Drew says they are ready and Adam is the one with the power.

Pearce says there is one thing he needs Drew to do.  Adam asks for two referees to enter the ring.  He says they did not deserve what happened to them at Money in the Bank.  Pearce wants Drew to apologize for what he did.

Drew asks why would he apologize to them.

Pearce says they deserve respect and they were disrespected.

Drew says Pearce did what he had to do and it is water under the bridge so make the match.

Pearce says they got hurt and acknowledge it and apologize.

Drew walks up to the referees and . . . eventually he says no.  He wants to know why he should apologize to them after screwing him around.  This has all happened under your watch.  Do you get involved in his business?  You deserved that elbow and you should be on your knees apologizing to him.  Seth thinks he can get his hand on Punk ahead of him?  He will not accept an apology from Punk and he wants his head on a spike.

Pearce tells Drew if he won't apologize, he is still suspended.

Drew pushes the referees down and then he gets in Pearce's face.

We take a look at the latest video from the Howdy Collection.

Erick Rowan is asked how has he been.  He says the last two years have been very hard.  He says he used to have a family.  They were unstoppable and inseparable.  They had each other's backs.  Then one day, the whole world changed.  He says he lost a brother.  The person in this world who believed in him more than anyone else was gone.  He says it knocked him on his ass.  In those situations you get up and keep moving.  Just when he thought he had everything going, his other brother was gone too.  He had no more family and no more will.  Erick says he fell down a well that he couldn't get out of or want to get out of.  He says he felt catatonic.  He was numb to the world.  Who would miss him?  He is just Rowan.

He is asked how does that make him feel.

Rowan holds the mask and he says it gives him hope.  When he was at his lowest, he reached out to him and pulled him up.  He accepted that hand because he knew he needed it and he needed help.  Now he has a purpose.  A purpose to help those like himself.  He says this reminds him of that beacon of hope.  They are going to take their broken hearts.
