– We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video of what happened during the Intercontinental Championship match between Jey Uso and Bron Breakker last week. Jey then makes his way out to the ring through the crowd.
Jey says he's now in Hershey, and says a lot has happened over the last couple weeks including losing the Intercontinental Championship and his ongoing issues with The Bloodline. He says there's only one person that he wants to talk to after the events of "WWE SmackDown" this past Friday during the main event WWE Tag Team Championship match between The Bloodline and Motor City Machine Guns wherein he cost the former team the titles and reunited with Jimmy Uso.
Jimmy's music then hits and he makes his way out. He says he came out to look Jey in the eye and thanks him for what he did on "SmackDown". He says he and Jey need to be together to take down Solo Sikoa and the rest of The Bloodline, but Jey cuts him off and stares down Jimmy. He tells him that they aren't the ones, then says the last time he saw him was in April when they were facing each other at WrestleMania 40. He says a lot has happened since then, then says fans no longer get confused between who is who. He says he became Intercontinental Champion by himself, then says if they join forces, they aren't going to be anyone's yes men. Jimmy agrees and invites Jey to squash his beef with Roman Reigns on "SmackDown" this Friday. Jey agrees to show up, and Jimmy asks if they're good.
Before Jey can answer, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa look to blindside The Usos. Jimmy sees them coming, and The Usos gain the upperhand over them. Solo Sikoa then orders Jacob Fatu to take down The Usos, and Fatu does so. The Bloodline ties Jimmy up on the ropes and holds him in place as Fatu places a chair on Jey in the corner and looks to connect with a Hip Attack. Jey tosses the chair at Fatu, and The Usos send The Bloodline crashing out of the ring with a series of superkicks. Adam Pearce and other security guards then run down to the ring to keep The Usos and The Bloodline apart.
– Back from the break, we see Adam Pearce yelling at Nick Aldis over the phone for not getting control of his roster and allowing The Bloodline to come to "Raw" when they only agreed on Jimmy. Judgment Day then approaches him, and Pearce informs Dominik Mysterio that he will be taking on Damian Priest later tonight.
– Back at ringside, Ludwig Kaiser makes his way out. Sheamus follows.
Ludwig Kaiser vs. Sheamus
The bell rings and the two lock up. They fire off right hands on one another, but Kaiser fires off chops on Sheamus. Sheamus responds with a clothesline and a rolling Fireman's Carry, then delivers a knee to Kaiser's neck. Kaiser levels Sheamus with a clothesline and dropkicks him out of the ring under the bottom rope, then sends him crashing into the ring post face first and uses it to wear down Sheamus' arm. Sheamus returns the favor, then sends him crashing into the ring post spine first. The referee then begins a ten count, but both men beat it.
Back from the break, Sheamus runs over Kaiser with a pair of clotheslines and sets up for the Brogue Kick. Kaiser low bridges him over the top rope and out of the ring, but Sheamus responds with The Ten Beats of the Bodhran, then follows it up with a clothesline off the top and goes for a pin. Kaiser kicks out.
Sheamus gets Kaiser on his back and ascends up the ropes, but Kaiser escapes and powerbombs Sheamus into the mat. He follows it up with a kick to his chest and pins him, but Sheamus kicks out. Kaiser fires off right hands on Sheamus, but Sheamus responds with a kick to his midsection and follows it up with an enzuigiri. Sheamus responds with a jumping knee and a Brogue Kick for the win.

– A video package for Rhea Ripley plays where she calls out Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
– We then head backstage and see The Usos run into Sami Zayn. Zayn asks to talk to Jey alone, and Jimmy stares him down before Jey tells him to give him and Zayn a minute. Zayn questions if Jey is sure about reuniting with Jimmy and squashing his beef with Roman Reigns, but Jey says he thinks that Solo Sikoa is worse than Reigns. Zayn says Sikoa didn't play mental games with Jey for a couple years, then reminds him that he doesn't need to get involved because it's no longer his fight. Jey tells Zayn he wouldn't understand his decision because he isn't family, then walks away.
– We get a video promo from Gunther - he calls Rhodes a gutless champion and talks about how he and Kaiser take on Orton and Rhodes and will defeat them.

Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde get in their faces, but The Creed Brothers level them, opening the door for Nile to connect with a swinging uranage for the win.
Winner: Ivy Nile
– Jimmy Uso is packing up his stuff and Jey comes in and asks how the chat with Zayn went. Jey says he told him he's not family and Jimmy wants to talk to Zayn and leaves.
– Seth Rollins struts around backstage.
Rollins welcomes fans to Monday Night Rollins, then introduces himself and says that Bronson Reed is a monster. He says he's one too, and while he put that side of him to bed a long time ago, Reed has woken something up in him and reminded him what he's capable of, which is something that he admits that he isn't mad about.
Reed interrupts Rollins on the Titan Tron and says he promised Pearce that he wouldn't go into the arena tonight in order to prevent what happened last week. He invites Rollins to come and meet him outside, and Rollins storms up the ramp looking to find Reed. The two then begin brawling in the parking lot, and Rollins sends the door of one of the trucks outside the area into Reed's face. He then delivers a Curb Stomp to him on top of a car. Reed hits Rollins with a garbage can and the two brawl in the truck, but Reed delivers a Death Valley Driver to Rollins through a pair of table's nearby.
