This episode featured Drew McIntyre vs. Baron Corbin, Karrion Kross vs. Jeff Hardy, Alexa Bliss vs. Dewdrop, Sheamus vs. Ricochet, Damian Priest vs. John Morrison, Nikki ASH vs. Rhea Ripley, and Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles.
Next week will be the go-home edition of Raw for the SummerSlam pay-per-view event.
