AJ Styles, def. Mystery
After Riddle questioned Randy Orton again about the possibility of RK-Bro’s reunion, AJ Styles showed up to challenge the original Bro to a one-on-one match. Riddle was stunned to see Orton turn his back and walk away shortly before the bell rang, leaving him to march against the Phenomenal himself. It was an omen that ended Riddle as Stiles prevailed, paired up with a devastating Styles clash.
Rhea Ripley def. Nikki ASH Women’s Raw Champion
Charlotte Flair was eager to take part in the fight, sitting at the Raw announcement table throughout the fight between Rhea Ripley and Raw Women’s Champion Nikki Ash. A grueling battle ensued, culminating in Riptide, bringing victory to The Nightmare.
The Queen continued to taunt Nearly Superhero for not being able to play after the match, which resulted in ASH jumping over Flair, sending Charlotte into the ring for more punishment from the Raw Women Champion and the victorious Ripley.
Drew McIntyre, def. Vir and Schenki in a handicap match
The stakes were high for Drew McIntyre against Veer and Schenka in a handicap match. If he won, McIntyre would have banned the duo from appearing in the ring for his fight with Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam, but if he lost, he would not have been able to bring his mighty sword, Angela, into the ring for that SummerSlam match.
ThVideo and the Scottish Warrior prevailed by hitting Shanky with an evil Claymore and subsequently sending The Modern Day Maharaja a clear message directed to SummerSlam.
Damian Priest def. Miz
After Damian Priest helped expose the truth about Miz’s knee injury in John Morrison’s first-ever Moist TV, Damian Priest got a chance to fight A-Lister. The fact that Meese had been using Morrison for several months without needing a wheelchair all this time wrongly damaged America’s Moist Wanted, forcing Morrison to walk away from Meese during the skirmish and cement Priest’s victory with a punch from Shamus’s brog.
The archer’s use of dishonor on the Celtic Warrior movement prompted United States Champion Shamus to speak with Priest, promising to defeat him at SummerSlam.
Mansoor def. MACE
With Mustafa Ali in his corner, Mansour set out to recoup the menacing MACE. After receiving some punishment from MACE, Mansour received help from Ali in the form of a cunning dropkick, which led to a quick collapse and a stunning victory for Mansour.
Randy Orton, def. Omos on disqualification
Randy Orton’s challenge to defeat the colossal Omos ended when A.J. Styles intervened and quickly kicked Orton while he was down to cause suspension. The outnumbered Wiper quickly saw Riddle rush to his aid and fight off the Raw Tag Team champions, prompting Orton to delight the WWE Universe with his claim that RK-Bro was actually back.
Excited Riddle took it one step further by challenging AJ Styles and Omos to a match for their Raw Tag titles at SummerSlam!
Carrion Cross def. Jeff Hardy
NXT champion Carrion Cross leapt to the bell by attacking Jeff Hardy backstage before the match. A weakened Hardy did his best to try and beat Cross again, but the vicious NXT champion proved too strong, confronting Irony in his patented Kross Jacket submission for victory.
Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax def. Raw Women’s Champion Nikki ASH and Rhea Ripley
Still trying to shake off frustrations with Charlotte Flair, Raw Women’s Champion Nikki Ash and Ray Ripley have teamed up to take on the Queen and partner of her choice, Nia Jax. Intrigued, Shayna Basler watched a back and forth team battle in which Flair, much to Jax’s dismay, ended up tagging herself and defeating Ripley after hitting Natural Selection.
Goldberg defeats Bobby Lashley with a huge spear.
An intense head-to-head showdown between WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and his SummerSlam challenger Goldberg reached its climax after Lashley pledged to end his WWE Hall of Fame career.
Goldberg wasn’t overly happy when told about it right in front of his son Gage, which led to Lashley being on the side of the massive Spear when Goldberg left with his son, intent on becoming the new WWE Champion.
