WWE RAW REPORT: THROWN TOGETHER TEAMS GET STRONGER, ONLY ELIAS CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES, I CAN'T ESCAPE CORBIN, THE DOLL IS A STEP CLOSER TO IN RING ACTION, AND MORE

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, and Jimmy Smith.

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring and he is wearing shorts.

Randy says this is where he is supposed to say 'welcome to Monday Night Raw.'  

Before Randy can continue, he is interrupted by Riddle and his scooter.

Riddle says he missed Randy so much.  Riddle asks the bro where did he go.  He thought he was hiding like an anaconda, but maybe he went on vacation.  Riddle says he missed Randy so much.  Riddle says 25 years ago, his stepdad went out to get some milk and he never came back.  You are back and do you know what that means?  We can team.  We can be R-K-Bro.  

Randy asks Riddle what in the hell makes you want to think that I want to team with you again?  Randy says we had a few matches and we made a few shirt.  We got a buzz . . . on social media.  Let's be real.  I work better by myself.  You have done well without my help, or your stepdad. 

Riddle asks Randy if that means he doesn't want to be on a team with him any more.

Randy says they WERE a good team.  

AJ Styles' music interrupts and he makes his way to the ring with Omos.

AJ mocks Riddle and Randy and he says this is embarrassing.  He says you can taste it and it is too sweet.  AJ says Randy Orton has a few nicknames.  Viper, Apex Predator, and Legend Killer.  Everyone he has met, he has used and abused.  Do you think he is going to be your friend?  AJ says it doesn't make any sense.  It is Randy Orton.  AJ says he thought Omos breaking your scooter would hurt you, then him throwing you around would hurt you.  I never thought a broken heart over Randy Orton would hurt you the most.

Randy tells AJ to shut up.  Randy says he has been home for seven weeks watching you run your mouth and acting like you run this place.  The only thing bigger than your ego is that jackass right there.

AJ says Omos is not a jackass.  AJ suggests that Orton wrestle him tonight so see who runs Raw.

Randy accepts.  Tonight, he will beat AJ and he will do it with the three most destructive letter in sports entertainment . . . R-K-. . . Orton goes for an RKO and AJ goes to the floor.  Omos pushes Orton away when Orton goes for an RKO on him.

Orton leaves the ring and Riddle goes for an RKO of his own on Omos but Omos blocks it and he choke slams Riddle.

Riddle rolls to the floor in front of Orton and Orton tells Riddle that wasn't a smart move.

We take a look at what happened last week with Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Shanky.

Baron Corbin is on Raw and Kevin Patrick ambushes him to ask him about the Brand to Brand Challenge and his challenge of Drew McIntyre.

Baron says he has fallen on rough times and he needs the money.  Baron says that Jinder Mahal offered him a chance to turn things around.  He is not happy at the idea of being decapitated by a giant sword but he is running out of options.  If beating Drew gets him out of these trouble, I am ready.

Drew is asked about Jinder's offer to Baron.  Drew says it seems that Jinder and his flunkies are afraid.  Drew asks if he should feel any sympathy for Baron Corbin.  I have known you for years and you are a terrible human being.  You talked about beating up a homeless man.  Orlando wants to see Drew kick your ass.  Kevin asks about the sword.

Drew says the sword is named after her late mother.  Drew says his mother had an illness throughout her life and she was told to abort Drew but she had Drew.  Drew says that she fought to the end.

Match Number One:  Baron Corbin versus Drew McIntyre

Baron misses a clothesline and Drew sends Baron into the turnbuckles and chops Baron.  Drew with a back elbow and he kicks Baron.  Drew with a forearm and a hard Irish whip.  

We see Jinder, Veer, and Shanky standing near a monitor while Drew hits a deadlift suplex for a near fall.  Drew clotheslines Baron over the top rope to the floor.  Drew chops Baron but Baron with a punch and he runs Drew into the apron.  They return to the ring.  Baron with a knee and he sends Drew over the top rope to the floor.  Baron charges at Drew and Drew with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex into the ringside barrier.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Corbin sets for a superplex and hits it.  Corbin gets a near fall.  Corbin with punches and an Irish whip but he slides around the post when Drew moves.  Corbin enters the ring and is met with a head butt from Drew and both are down.  Drew with punches in the corner and he connects with clotheslines.  Drew with an overhead belly-to-belly throw.  Drew with another overhead belly-to-belly suplex followed by a neck breaker.  Drew sets for the Claymore but Corbin starts to cry.

Drew takes the mic and he says that Corbin is absolutely pathetic.  Drew says he is starting to feel a little bad for Corbin.  If things are that bad, how much does Corbin need to get by for a few days to get a meal, a bed, and a shower. 

Baron says he needs $100,000.  Drew laughs at Baron and says that sounds reasonable.  Drew says how about $200,000.  How about $300,000?  Drew counts down and hits a Claymore for the three count.

Winner:  Drew McIntyre

After the match, Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Shanky make their way to the ring.

They stop when Drew gets his sword.  Drew turns his back but Jinder and his band of merry men do not try to do anything with him.

Randy Orton walks in the back and Riddle scoots by.  Riddle says he knows Randy doesn't want to be teammates, can they be friends.  He asks to be in Randy's corner against AJ tonight.  Riddle says he wants to be there in case Omos does anything.

Randy says he is serious and he tells Riddle not to call him bro.

Karrion Kross says Jeff Hardy ruined his debut by cheating.  I have thought about the demise of Jeff Hardy.  A cruel twist of fate has brought Hardy back into my clutches.  Hardy will fall and pray.

Match Number Two:  Karrion Kross versus Jeff Hardy in a Non Title Match
