Gagnants : The OC
After the fight, The OC celebrates the victory, but the Judgment Day music starts and the clan arrives. Balor says it’s Too Sweet, old shit again. Damian Priest says it’s funny to think The OC did something good last week. The only thing The OC has done is have a guarantee of getting cooked by Judgment Day.
Balor says he’s the one who started this stupid little club. He created the club and he is going to break it. That’s why they want to do the match, The OC vs. Judgment Day at Crown Jewel. AJ Styles says it’s accepted. But he can’t understand why everyone is doing this, here it’s Monday Night RAW. They are on the stage and they are in the ring, so they have to do it here and now. Unless Judgment Day has to ask their mother’s permission first? Dominik tells AJ to shut up or else he’ll end up in another division with his tail between his legs because he can’t compete against Judgment Day.
AJ says Dominik is playing it hard with Judgment Day, but Dominik is trash. Dominik is a little idiot for rejecting his father. Dominik wants to play tough, so why not play a game tonight to settle matters? Rhea Ripley says Dominik will break him to pieces. Dominik says he’ll clean the floor with AJ. AJ tells him to come to the ring. Dominik says he’s not ready now, he doesn’t have his outfit, but when he’s ready in about an hour he’ll take care of him. AJ tells Dominik to go get ready and he’ll kick his ass, which his dad should have done, and it’ll be Too Sweet.
– Back, we present a video on the victory of Seth Rollins who became the new United States Champion on RAW last Monday.
Rollins’ music starts and he comes to the ring. Rollins introduces himself, the revolutionary United States Champion. Rollins says for anyone who doubted him, they can kiss his ass. For all the others, who have always supported him, who have always believed in him, it’s time to sing his song. Rollins says tonight is historic because it’s the first title defense of the USA champion’s best reign in history. In the main event he will wash the floor in the face of Matt Riddle.
He will take the opportunity to explain Extreme Rules. The crowd sings that he tapped. Rollins says he may have tapped, but it was a strategic move. He did it for us, because two days later he had to be in his best condition to beat Bobby Lashley and become the USA champion. He hit for us! Mustafa Ali’s music starts and he arrives. Ali congratulates him on his match, he also wanted to point out the assist of Brock Lesnar, but Rollins does not want to talk about it. Ali says he hasn’t forgotten that Lashley gave him a spot as the next opponent.
Ali says he understands champions change, but that doesn’t change the fact that he wants to fight for the United States title against Rollins. Rollins laughs. Rollins asks if he looks like Bobby Lashley? Sorry, but Ali will have to go back behind everyone else. Ali can stay here and party with the new champion, or Ali can get out of his ring since Ali doesn’t deserve his place with him. Ali takes off his sunglasses. Ali says it will not go like this. Rollins looks to his next problem. He is not going to give up, he wants to fight for the title! Rollins says he appreciates what Ali wants to do, but he likes her. Ali is one of the best in the ring, but he’s mostly a good person. Ali is a good friend, a good father… Rollins punches him in the face! Rollins throws Ali down the ring. Rollins leaves the ring laughing, but Ali gets up and starts pummeling him. Rollins manages to push Ali away and throw him against the post.
