Sasha Banks made her ring entrance. Cole said she\u2019d be wrestling Natalya later. They went to a nearly four minute video package on Sasha\u2019s return with clips of Becky Lynch\u2019s promo from last week\u2019s Smackdown reacting to Sasha.<\/p>\n<p>Back live in the ring, Sasha\u2019s music faded and she absorbed some boos, but mostly silence. Graves said he can\u2019t wait for her explanation. \u201cSo everybody wants to know why,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd where has Sasha Banks been, huh?\u201d She said for four months she was gone, out of site, minding her own business, not talking to anybody, yet everyone kept talking about her. A \u201cBecky!\u201d chant started. Sasha paused. She said people said she threw a fit. \u201cI did.\u201d She said people said she was seen crying at WrestleMania at the locker room floor. \u201cI did,\u201d she said. She said people said she took her ball and went home. \u201cYou\u2019re damn right I did,\u201d she said. She said it wasn\u2019t for reasons they assume. \u201cI was relegated to a WrestleMania tag team match I cared absolutely nothing about, defending tag team titles that meant even less, while Becky Lynch got to headline WrestleMania against Ronda Rousey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said she went on a couple of amazing vacations with her WrestleMania paycheck. She said Becky\u2019s check was a lot larger for main eventing, though. She said she came back to work, but she had a plan. She said she waited for the perfect moment, which was when Natalya was standing in the ring two weeks ago. She said she gave her a big hug and lied to her face when she told her that her dad would be so proud of her. Boos. She said Becky came out, right on cue, to save the day.<\/p>\n<p>She said now she is the center of attention yet again, like she deserves. She said she is the standard of the Women\u2019s Division and she is the talk of the Women\u2019s Division. She said she deserves all the glory. Natalya charged out to her music and tackled Sasha. They rolled around at ringside. \u201cThis thing is heating up in a hurry!\u201d yelled Cole. Referees and officials ran out and separated them. It took them a while to pull them apart. Graves said he\u2019s been warning people about who Sasha Banks really was for years. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-The Street Profits hyped the rest of Raw, including the King of the Ring and a Tag Team Turmoil match. They explained the rules with help from an on-screen graphic. The winning team gets a shot at the tag titles at Clash of Champions against Seth Rollins &amp; Braun Strowman. They listed the participating teams. They closed with a song.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3199397155\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(1) RICOCHET vs. DREW MCINTYRE \u2013 King of the Ring Tournament First Round match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ricochet\u2019s ring entrance took place. Cole said, \u201cHe believes he\u2019s a superhero.\u201d A soundbite aired with Ricochet who said he grew up idolizing King of the Ring winners. He said he\u2019ll move the mountain that is Drew to move ahead. Drew said when he is king, all of the unworthy Superstars will be exiled from his kingdom. Cole reviewed the brackets which showed that the winner of this match faces Samoa Joe. The bell rang 19 minutes into the show. They fought to ringside a minute in. Drew gave Ricochet a running side slam onto the ring apron off the steps. They cut to a break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, Ricochet made a comeback and landed a corkscrew dive over the top rope onto Drew at ringside. Drew took over with sustained offense for a few minutes. He pressed Ricochet above his head, but Ricochet slipped out and then caught a diving Drew and gave him a Northern Lights Suplex. Drew countered and just salto tossed Ricochet to the mat. Both were slow to get up. Ricochet landed a springboard clothesline. He let out a yell and landed a standing moonsault for a two count. Ricochet climbed to the top rope a minute later, but Drew knocked him to the floor with a hard elbow to the side of his head. Ricochet landed a step-up enzuigiri on the ringside steps to slow Drew\u2019s momentum. He dove off the steps, but ate a Glasgow Kick. Drew threw Ricochet back into the ring and charged at him, but Ricochet caught him with a superkick. He landed two roundkicks to a kneeling Drew, but then Drew popped up with a surprise clothesline. Ricochet took a 360 degree bump. Drew followed with a sitout powerbomb for a near fall. The kickout got a pop. They fought back and forth until Ricochet landed a Recoil. Ricochet climbed to the top rope and landed a 630 for a clean three count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ricochet in 14:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Good match. That\u2019s a big win for Ricochet and a big of a setback for Drew, who no longer seems on course to be a top tier heel. He just hasn\u2019t been protected lately in the way that top heels usually are if they\u2019re on a main event trajectory.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Renee plugged Miz vs. Baron Corbin. Cole hyped a Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman interview next. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-They showed postcard shots of New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage an unnamed blond woman interviewed Braun and Seth backstage. She asked about their title defense at the Clash, and how Seth will have to defend both of his titles at the Clash because every title is defended at the Clash. Braun was preoccupied with Seth\u2019s Universal Title, staring longingly at it. Braun finally said they\u2019ll defend their tag titles against anyone, but he asked who Seth is going to defend the Universal Title against. Seth said they have a talented locker room. Seth asked Braun if he\u2019s challenging him right now. Braun said they just won the titles last week, so he wants to make sure he\u2019s on the same page. \u201cPartner, of course I\u2019m challenging you for the Universal Championship.\u201d Seth said he doesn\u2019t back down from a fight, so challenge accepted.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1763183474\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-They went to the announcers on camera. Graves reacted, saying this is a first-time situation that has taken shape.<\/p>\n<p>-Miz made his ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Miz stood mid-ring and touted his resume of title wins and plugged \u201cMiz &amp; Mrs.\u201d He said in his 13 year career, people always ask what he wants. \u201cThe answer is simple,\u201d he said. \u201cI want it all.\u201d He said these are the first steps to becoming \u201cKing Awesome!\u201d Graves said that doesn\u2019t have a ring to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) THE MIZ vs. BARON CORBIN \u2013 King of the Ring Tournament First Round match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Corbin came out, Graves said Corbin is the best qualified person for the job because he\u2019d be a fair ruler of the WWE Universe. Cole cackled. Cole said Corbin told \u201cWWE Digital\u201d that his motivation is that the WWE Universe doesn\u2019t want him to win and that if he won, it\u2019d upset so many people. Corbin hit a clothesline and scored a two count and they cut to an early break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>After the break, Miz rallied. Cole said to ask Steve Austin and Triple H what it means to win King of the Ring. Miz scored a two count after a double axe handle. They showed Cedric Alexander watching the monitor backstage. Corbin came back with a Deep Six for a two count. Miz countered a chokeslam with a roll-up for a two count. Miz blocked an End of Days and landed a DDT for a two count. Graves said Corbin is motivated by the desire to shut down his detractors. Cole said, \u201cHe won\u2019t really be a ruler, you get that, right?\u201d Graves and Renee both stammered a bit. Miz surprised Corbin with a Skull Crushing Finale for a near fall. Corbin rolled to the floor. Miz threw him back into the ring, then springbaorded at him, but Corbin caught him with a sudden End of Days for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Corbin in 10:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: This was a pretty obvious finish if only because Miz vs. Cedric Alexander doesn\u2019t feel like a match WWE would book in round two, as it doesn\u2019t really have a hook.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>[HOUR TWO]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Cole talked about the brackets and said Smackdown would feature Ali vs. Buddy Murphy and Chad Gable vs. Shelton Benjamin in two \u201cintriguing match-ups.\u201d Corbin admired the throne and lifted the crown on the stage. Graves said, \u201cThis is like a glimpse into the future.\u201d Renee said, \u201cThat\u2019s got to be bad luck.\u201d Corbin sat on the throne and smiled. He said when he showed up at the building, he was asked about a \u201cridiculous poll\u201d where the WWE Universe voted that they wanted anyone but him to win King of the Ring. He said he\u2019s never cared what they think anyway. \u201cNone of you actually matter to me.\u201d He said on their very best day, they couldn\u2019t accomplish a single thing he has. He said he is where he is because of one person \u2013 himself. Cole said, \u201cWe might have to get used to that sight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: They are setting up the match with Cedric nicely. The crowd should be super-into Cedric beating Corbin. Given how hard they\u2019re pushing the possibility of Corbin winning, it makes me think he\u2019s losing. But will it be in round two?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Kayla Braxton interviewed Karl Anderson &amp; Luke Gallows. Anderson said Seth &amp; Braun \u201cearned a title match out of thin-air.\u201d Gallows said it\u2019s ridiculous that they have to participate in a Tag Team Turmoil match to earn a rematch. Anderson said they\u2019ll prove tonight they\u2019re the only club that\u2019s ever mattered.<\/p>\n<p>-Bayley made her ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Cole said: \u201cThe ground-breaking gritty show that caused a revolution is coming to USA Network.\u201d He called NXT \u201cthe little engine that could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Could things Cole is scripted to say and the way he says them possibly be any more counter-productive? Man, that was patronizing and made NXT sound lame.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They went to Rey Mysterio teasing retirement last week on Raw when Dominic asked him not to. Cole on camera said next week Rey returns to Raw.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) BAYLEY vs. NIKKI CROSS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bayley won clean with a top rope flying elbow. Cole called it a \u201cgutsy victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Bayley in 5:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Graves plugged the Styles vs. Braun match for the U.S. Title later. Cole said Anderson and Gallows are barred from ringside.<\/p>\n<p>-Kayla interviewed Braun backstage. She could barely reach high enough with the mic to reach his mouth. He said he and Seth will win the tag titles, then he\u2019ll beat Seth for the Universal Title, then he\u2019ll successfully retain the U.S. Title. \u201cThat\u2019s what I call Winner Takes All, and it feels good.\u201d He said no one can stop him later from getting the U.S. Title and Styles from \u201cgetting these hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-The Viking Raiders began their ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4a) THE VIKING RAIDERS vs. THE B-TEAM \u2013 Tag Team Turmoil match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Raiders in 1:00 with the Viking Experience finisher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4b) THE VIKING RAIDERS vs. KARL ANDERSON &amp; LUKE GALLOWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ref lost control after a minute and DQ\u2019d both teams.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Double DQ, so both teams eliminated.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: That finish isn\u2019t done enough in WWE, so it felt hasty and contrived.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler came out to their own entrance music. Cole wondered who they\u2019d face. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4c) ROBERT ROODE &amp; DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. LUCHA HOUSE PARTY (Lince Dorado &amp; Gran Metalik w\/Kalisto)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match was joined in progress after the break. Rapid-fire action ended with Ziggler hitting Lince with a superkick on a back elbow attempt.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Roode &amp; Ziggler in about 3:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: These rapid-fire finishes are so phony in these types of matches.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(4d) ROBERT ROODE &amp; DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. THE REVIVAL (Dash &amp; Dawson)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was an absolute marathon, with Roode pinning Dawson clean.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Roode &amp; Ziggler in 5:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Cole said they\u2019d \u201cfind out live\u201d who will face Roode &amp; Ziggler next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4e) ROBERT ROODE &amp; DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. ZACK RYDER &amp; KURT HAWKINS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Roode &amp; Ziggler in about 2:00.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4f) ROBERT ROODE &amp; DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. HEAVY MACHINERY (Otis &amp; Tucker)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Roode tried to call a timeout just as the bell was about to ring. Tucker chased them down at ringside and threw them into the ring. Tucker scored an early near fall on Ziggler. Otis charged Ziggler and Roode in the corner with running splash against the turnbuckles. Then Otis did the Caterpillar to Ziggler. They set up Roode for their Trash Compactor next, but Ziggler intervened with a superkick and then Ziggler gave Otis a Zig Zag onto Tucker. Roode then gave Tucker his Glorious DDT for the win. Cole said Ziggler &amp; Roode won four matches in their first-ever night teaming together to get a title match at the Clash.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Ziggler &amp; Roode in 7:00 to earn a WWE Raw Tag Team Title match at Clash of Champions.<\/p>\n<p>-The announcers on camera hyped Sasha vs. Natalya. Then they threw to a video package on the Roman Reigns whodunit storyline. Graves said Daniel Bryan and Rowan have demanded an apology from Reigns on Smackdown now that they\u2019ve \u201cproven they were falsely accused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-An ad for NXT\u2019s premiere on USA Network aired. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>[HOUR THREE]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Cole hyped the premiere of \u201cTotal Divas\u201d which will feature Ronda Rousey, Sonya Deville, and last year\u2019s cast members.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) SASHA BANKS vs. NATALYA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sasha made her ring entrance first. They aired clips of Sasha\u2019s interview earlier in the show and the brawl that broke out with Natalya. Natalya then came out with her left elbow taped. The ref held Natalya back from going right after Sasha before the bell. Natalya threw Sasha hard to the mat with a released German suplex. Cole yelled, \u201cSasha landing hard, she may be out!\u201d It was good for a two count. Sasha took over at ringside, tossing Natalya into the ringpost. Graves said he has known Sasha is not a good person since she arrived in NXT, but now that she\u2019s not pretending to be anyone but her real self, she\u2019s especially dangerous. \u201cShe\u2019s been acting like something she is not,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are finally seeing the true colors of the real Sasha Banks.\u201d Sasha caught Natalya with a mid-ring Bank Statement. Natalya crawled toward the bottom rope. Sasha yanked her injured arm across her chin. Natalya tapped out from the pain.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Sasha in 4:00 via submission.<\/p>\n<p>-A trainer checked on Natalya\u2019s arm after the match. Sasha left the ring, but then got a sinister look and returned to the ring and re-applied the Bank Statement. Cole said she had a sick smile on her face. \u201cWhat the hell has happened to her?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>-Braxton backstage interviewed Styles. Styles said Anderson &amp; Gallows were screwed earlier. He said nobody believes he can defend the U.S. Title against Braun. He said he can thrive even without Anderson and Gallows in his corner. He said Braun intimidates everyone he faces except for him. He said Braun can\u2019t walk out of the Clash with all the gold because he won\u2019t win the U.S. Title tonight.<\/p>\n<p>-Cole plugged Cedric vs. Cesaro. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Cole hyped \u201cStraight Up Steve Austin\u201d with Baker Mayfield, the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) CEDRIC ALEXANDER vs. CESARO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cesaro caught Cedric diving through the ropes with an uppercut mid-air a minute into the match. He gave Cedric a gut-wrench suplex next and then scored a two count. They cut to a break after the action spilled to the floor. [c]<\/p>\n<p>They showed Corbin watching on a monitor backstage. They continued to battle back and forth, with Cesaro concentrating on Cedric\u2019s legs with half crabs with a ton of torque. Cedric came back with a sudden Lumbar Check for the win. Cole wondered how hobbled Cedric would be when he faces Corbin in the King of the Ring tournament round two match.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Cedric in 12:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Really good match. The reason for this seemingly random match revealed itself at the end there when Cole said Cedric might be less than 100 percent after Cesaro\u2019s focus on his legs in that grueling match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They showed Styles warming up backstage. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-WWE Fact: Raw was the most social show on TV last week.<\/p>\n<p>-Cole threw to a clip of Elias at a Fox Sports event last week when Drake Maverick showed up, and then R-Truth rolled Elias up to win the 24\/7 Title. Drake was then caught in the path of a ton of footballs being thrown at him. Truth then scored a basket before chasing after Drake. They almost literally played the Benny Hill Theme during highlights. They showed Truth chatting with hosts on the set of Fox College Football. One of the Fox hosts, Rob Stone, the pinned R-Truth with a roll-up. Elias then rolled him up to regain his title. Elias then fled. Truth told Stone, \u201cIt ain\u2019t easy being the champ!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-The mystery blond woman interviewed Ziggler &amp; Roode backstage. She asked how the team came together. Ziggler said he saw a twinkle in Roode\u2019s eye that indicates he wants it more than anyone else in that locker room, so they gravitated toward each other. He said Braun and Seth will face each other first, then defend against them later \u201cbecause we\u2019re the cream of the crop.\u201d He said they won\u2019t be in any mood to work together by then. Roode said they\u2019re the most talented and best looking tag team in WWE.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Ziggler has found someone else who likes to \u201cYELL UNNECESSARILY\u201d just like he does to share interview time with.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Back to the Street Profits backstage. Angelo Dawkins was dressed up with beads and a Mardi Gras hat. He said he was ready for the afterparty. Fans cheered. Montez Ford then hyped the U.S. Title main event next. They stopped when they noticed Braun heading toward the entrance stage right past them.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s a small thing, but they acted surprised Braun was there, yet when the camera panned back, it was clear he had to be there all along because Braun was backed against a garage door and other crates right by the Street Profits, maybe ten feet away.) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They went to the announcers on camera who talked about NXT going to USA next month. They showed Triple H\u2019s tweet saying how proud he is. Graves threw to a \u201cFirefly Funhouse\u201d montage. He said it was a trip down memory lane to show how it all began.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) A.J. STYLES vs. BRAUN STROWMAN \u2013 U.S. Title match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Styles made his ring entrance first. They threw to clips of last week\u2019s angle that led to this match-up. Then Braun. Then came formal ring introductions for the title match with 13 minutes left in the show. Strowman tossed Styles over the top rope to the floor two seconds into the match. Then he grazed his shoulder and Styles bumped like he was shot with a cannon ball. He sprinted around the ring and knocked Styles down a second time. Back in the ring, Styles caught a charging Strowman with a boot. Strowman caught Styles flying at him off the ropes with a chokeslam for a two count, with Styles putting his boot over the bottom rope. Strowman then knocked Styles off the ring apron with a boot to the head. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, Styles applied a sleeper. Styles stayed on offense and applied an ankle lock. Strowman powered out and headbutted Styles for a two count. Styles avoided a charging Strowman, who went shoulder-first into the ringpost. Styles knocked Strowman into the ref, who crashed to the floor. Then Styles gave Braun a low-blow. Graves said no matter how big and tough you are, your eyes \u201cand that area\u201d are vulnerable. Styles entered with a chair, but Strowman blocked Styles and then gave him a sudden powerslam for a visual three count. The ref was still down and out. Anderson and Gallows ran out and attacked Braun. Braun fought them off and then hit Anderson and Gallows with the chair Styles brought into the ring. When Styles saw Braun had a chair, Styles fell backwards and sold like Braun hit him. The ref saw Braun with the chair and called for the DQ despite Braun\u2019s protests that he did nothing with the chair. The ref said he heard the chairshots. \u201cThat\u2019s garbage,\u201d said Renee.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Styles via DQ in 12:00 to retain the U.S. Title.<\/p>\n<p>-Braun took out his frustrations on Styles, Gallows, and Anderson.
