Segment #1: "The Man" Becky Lynch makes Three Major Announcements

Somberly making her way to the ring carrying the Women's Money in the Bank Briefcase, Becky Lynch was prepared to make some sad announcements. Firstly, she announced that she would be going away for awhile. This brought Asuka out, who ranted at "The Man" for stealing her Briefcase. This prompted Lynch to make her second announcement. Opening the Briefcase to reveal the Raw Women's Championship, Lynch told Asuka that the Money in the Bank Ladder match wasn't for a contract, it was actually for the title. After Asuka celebrated for a few moments, Lynch congratulated her before dropping a literal truth-bomb. The reason she is going away is because she's pregnant.


Segment #2: Humberto Carrillo succumbs to Bobby Lashley in No Disqualification match

After getting himself disqualified against Humberto Carrillo in last week's Gauntlet match, Bobby Lashley was looking to get some revenge. His wish was granted by being given a No Disqualification match against Carrillo tonight. Despite some fiery offense early on, Carrillo was quickly blasted out of the air by Lashley. He was able to bring it back though, getting in some nasty shots on Lashley with a steel chair. Bobby Lashley caught a flying Carrillo with a Full Nelson for the submission victory. "The All Mighty" is angry, and it looks like no one can stop him.


Segment #3: Angel Garza defeats Akira Tozawa

The seeds of dissent have been planted in Zelina Vega's stable of Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory. Each member wants to prove that they are the greatest asset to the group, and with tonight's win over Akira Tozawa, Angel Garza is on his way to proving just that. After laying Tozawa out with the Wing Clipper, Garza got right in the face of Austin Theory. A fight almost broke out, had not Vega stepped in to break it up. Drew McIntyre came out, laying out both Garza and Theory, setting up a match with Andrade in the process.


Segment #4: Drew McIntyre overcomes Andrade in Champion vs. Champion match

It is always a treat to see Champion vs. Champion matches, and this one between the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Andrade was no exception. Having had his shoulder worked on by Seth Rollins, McIntyre looked to keep Andrade away from that part of his body during this contest. Unfortunately for Drew, Andrade knew just where to poke and prod to inflict the most punishment upon his opponent. McIntyre was able to fend off this punishment, hitting Andrade with a Claymore Kick for the victory.


Segment #5: The IIconics return to defeat the Women's Tag Team Champions

After being guests on "A Moment of Bliss," and having been mocked by Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, The IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce) challenged the Women's Tag Team Champions to a match. Despite being on the shelf for a few months, The IIconics appeared impervious to the term "ring rust." Having excellent teamwork throughout the contest, The IIconics eventually laid out Bliss with a double-team move for the win. Certainly, they have now been put in contention for the championships.


Segment #6: R-Truth, Ricochet, and Cedric Alexander defeat MVP, Shane Thorne, and Brendan Vink

Two rivalries were thrown together in this 6-Man Tag Team match. R-Truth was paired with Ricochet and Cedric Alexander to go against his rival MVP, and his partners' rivals Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink. Although being dominated by Vink for majority of the contest, Truth was able to get the win pretty quickly. After the match, Bobby Lashley came out to lay Truth out with a devastating Spear.


Segment #7: Seth Rollins appears distraught in Tag Team match after Money in the Bank loss

Seth Rollins' loss to Drew McIntyre has clearly affected him in a serious way. Being paired with his "Disciple" Murphy against Aleister Black and Rey Mysterio, Rollins' heart clearly wasn't in the contest. Refusing to tag into the match, he just watched with a blank expression as his partner was dominated by Black and Mysterio. This was until Mysterio slammed into his midsection with an elbow. This led Rollins to maniacally grab Rey out of the ring, and shove him eye-first into the steel steps. "The Monday Night Messiah" appears to have gone mad.


Segment #8: Shayna Baszler defeats Natalya

Shayna Baszler was quick to give her disapproval of Becky Lynch's choice to get "knocked up" while at the top of her career. Natalya sought to teach her some respect. "The Queen of Spades" wasn't ready to be taught a lesson though, plowing through Natalya with a knee to the face for the win. With Lynch out of the picture, who can stop Baszler from claiming the throne on top of the Women's Division.


Segment #9: The feud between Edge and Randy Orton is far from over

Edge entered the ring to quickly dismiss the idea that he is still hunting Randy Orton. He is looking to put that part of his past behind him. Orton on the other hand, isn't finished with Edge just yet. He did admit that Edge was the better man at WrestleMania 36, but not the better wrestler. Claiming that Edge just doesn't have pure wrestling ability left in him anymore, Orton challenged him to a "straight up wrestling match" at Backlash. Edge stood like a deer in the headlights as Raw went off the air.
