*Vince McMahon comes on the screen. We never went into the NXT arena.*



Vince McMahon: Hello everyone. It is with a heavy heart that I come here today to announce the end of NXT. NXT was created as a show that had rookies competing for their mentors to earn a shot on the main roster. It developed into a third brand here for the WWE. We gave it a shot as a third brand, and we gave NXT a shot at being a live show. However, we have decided it will be for the best interest for the WWE to dissolve NXT as it was not bringing in the proper revenue as it was putting out. NXT has been in the red for well over two years now, and it is time for the WWE to move on from this potential third brand. We will be relocating to San Diego, California for a development center that will never be aired live. With that, Paul Levesque, which most of you know as Triple H and my daughter Stephanie McMahon have sold their shares in the WWE and are both terminated of their contracts. Thank you all for understanding.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have both signed a two year deal with both Ring of Honor and New Japan Professional Wrestling as performers.

~ Monday Night Raw is welcomed in Las Vegas, Nevada! Kurt Angle is in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.



Kurt Angle: Hello everyone! I have some very fun news, and some not so hot news. As you all know, Triple H has failed all of you with his project of NXT, and took his ball and ran to the indies once he got the call from Vince that NXT would be dissolved. With me bringing that up, Stephanie McMahon has left the WWE as well. Monday Night Raw has found a new commissioner, but they have requested to remain anonymous until the right moment. Now, for the better news. The new commissioner has given me the power to bring back something NXT tried to, but we can and will do it better. Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family will be taking on three members of the Samoan Dynasty as well as Seth Rollins and two members of Sanity in War Games! This Sunday at Great Balls of Fire it will be settled for good who is the superior faction on Monday Night Raw!

ONE ON ONE MATCH:
Hideo Itami vs. Jack Gallagher
As soon as the opening bell sounded, Itami charged forward and laid out his nemesis with a devastating kick. Seeking retribution for his feud with Balor Itami channeled his anger into precise and powerful strikes that kept the British Superstar on defense. Desperate for a break while outside the ring, Gallagher crawled underneath the ring to emerge on the other side and launch a sneak-attack on his opponent.

The unorthodox strategy paid off, and Gallagher began to rely on his unique technical ability to take control of the match. Gallagher continued to manipulate his opponent’s limbs to maximize punishment, but the resilience of Itami reigned supreme, and he battled back, regaining momentum.

Catching a second wind, Itami battled back with relentless fury, taking down Gallagher with a powerful strike to the jaw. Firmly in control of the contest, the Japanese Superstar executed the GTS for the victory.

Spoiler

Winner: Hideo Itami

Hideo Itami: Finn Balor. This Sunday at Great Balls of Fire, it will be you and I for my championship in the ladder match this Sunday. I spoke with Kurt Angle and even though it is no disqualification, if The Club does make an appearance they are fired! Good luck, Balor.














IN-RING SEGMENT:

Paige: You know, as the match last week went on, it got more and more physical, I started to notice some changes. Changes in the way you felt about me and changes in the way I felt about you. When I needed your support, all I could hear was 'Asuka, Asuka, Asuka', and only when I won! Only when I won. Oh yeah, only when I won did you start to cheer 'Paige, Paige'. ['Paige'-Chants] Part of the reason why I am in here in the WWE and why I didn't leave like those other superstars is because I felt like this was my home. But what kind of home – [Paige Chants] No! Stop it! What kind of home cheers for Asuka? I gave you everything! I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul, I gave you the anti-diva and a revolution to stop the Diva's division! I am the MVP! So this Sunday, oh yeah, at Great Balls of Fire when I beat Asuka AND Bayley, you can cheer for them, I don't care, but if I was a betting woman, oh yeah, if I loved gambling, I would bet on Paige. Goodbye and good night.

Luke Harper: There was a time in life when I don't understand why a man like me existed, what my purpose in life was or why I was here. But my family found me. He showed me the truth and the truth is, this is all of your fault. Each and every one of you have made me what I am. You shunned me. You created me but he, Bray Wyatt, saved me. He opened my eyes, he made me stronger than ever and he showed me my path in life. And now I know when you pray for the rain, you best be prepared for the mud. Bray Wyatt, my life is for you.



Erick Rowan: I was made fun of. I was bullied. I always looked different, and I was always bigger than all of the other kids. Thanks to Bray Wyatt...I feel wanted. I will do anything for you, Bray Wyatt.



Bray Wyatt: It always comes back to family, don't it? Luke Harper would go through hell and back for me. Hell, he already has. But Roman Reigns, I tried to warn him that this was only the beginning and as you all know— I am not a liar. Now, Roman Reigns claims that he has a new family and his brothers, he says to them that he cares for them, but I say uhh uhh— because if he truly cares for them he would tell them that they are in danger. And that they should stay out of our business, turn their back, walk away and never look back. Don't come to War Games. Because Roman Reigns, this is your burden to bear. This is your hill to die on. I, Bray Wyatt, will seal your fate. Roman Reigns— we're here!










Roman Reigns: Who in the hell do you think you are!? You know what? You're right, Wyatt. I'm here to make a difference. We are here to make a difference. You see, since winning that massive match, I've realized one thing. My sport, it suffers from an affliction. A sickness. And I plan to be the cure for this. You see, at one time, a man walked down to that ring. He looked across his opponent and he knew who he had to defeat. He knew who he had to best to be great on that day. But it's not like that anymore. You see now, we don't reward the warrior, no no no no. We reward the opportunist. The man who bleeds, who sacrifices, who sweats, who hurts to get what he wants - you see, he isn't put on the top of the order, no no no no no. It's the politician. It's the man who's your best friend and then turns out to be your worst enemy.

But you see, this Sunday at Great Balls of Fire, we change all that. When we show who is the most dominant faction, I guaranteed the fans at home we would change a lot of wrong around here. You see, WWE fans at home, they are sick and tired of the norm, of the usual, of the politician. They want a man who's gonna walk in there, look across his opponent and beat him into the ground to keep this manhood. And I'm that man, Bray. We are the men. So this Sunday, at the Great Balls of Fire Pay-Per-View, I face some of the most dangerous individuals in the history of professional wrestling. And you know what? When the history books are written, will they say I'm the fastest? No. Will they say I'm the strongest? Probably not. But what they will say is that nobody, NOBODY, has ever wanted this more and nobody fought harder for it. You see, Bray... on Sunday, not only will I walk out of War Games, I'll be the man to lead a new era. A new band of warriors in the Samoan Empire. A new band of professional wrestlers to a new horizon. I am Roman Reigns, I am the big dog and by God, I am pro wrestling.






*Sanity is coming from the crowd!*




Seth Rollins: A new era, Roman? Isn't that what The Shield was all about? Correct the injustices, and have the people feel our wrath? Come up with something original for once you worthless piece of trash! And as for you, you white trash cult leading Bray Wyatt. You're a loser, Bray. You're a loser. Go ahead and say it. Just say it, you're a loser and nobody wants to cheer a loser, nobody wants cheer a failure. Nobody wants to follow someone who never gets it done. Didn't you just lose to a drone? That's all Bray Wyatt has ever done. You have all the potential in the world, you could be the next Undertaker like superstar yet you can't keep up! Last week Bray Wyatt failed to get us to fear him and this Sunday at Great Balls of Fire, Bray Wyatt is going to fail again. Everyone knows it, Bray Wyatt is a failure!



~ Luke Harper Super Kicks Seth Rollins, and chaos has began! All of the teams are beating the living hell out of each other!










~ Braun Strowman!? Braun is coming down to the ring, and he is clearing everyone on out! It is Braun Strowman and the Wyatt Family in the ring! Braun Strowman has gotten down on his knees!

VIGNETTE:
~ We go to an ally-way in a dirty street. We see Dean Ambrose sitting by the dumpster, and he looks up.

Dean Ambrose: Yah know. I don't sing, I don't dance, I don't pull tricks. Yet my tenure so far in the WWE has been all of that. I'm not computer-programmed. Nobody pulls me by puppet strings. That's not the way I like it. So, they will all tell you that I'm no good, that I'm trouble... a waste of talent, worthless indy-trash, right? Aha, why? Why? 'Cause I like to think? 'Cause I like to make my own decisions? 'Cause I'm not some famous' guys kid? Life isn't fair. In this world there are haves and have-nots — I don't have-nots but in the wrestling world what I do have: A talent, abilities, gifts that others can only dream of. When you're this good you don't have to listen to anybody, until you want to.

Don't worry I haven't lost my way. I'm one of the few people in this business. I know exactly who I am. I know exactly where I am. Wrestlers like me, they're distinct. I'm a living breathing ghost but you all don't have to be afraid. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just WANT — I just want whats mine! I am coming back, and I am coming to Smackdown Live. I am SICK AND TIRED - I am sick and tired of the ways I had to go about things. It is time to go back to basics.

Ronda Rousey: Last week. Last week I broke Becky Lynch's arm! I would do it over again with how she has treated me since arriving in the WWE.

The I will save you for last...









Ruby Riott: We may not be an ally of Charlotte, nor Becky Lynch...but we want to make sure you never step foot in our ring again. Next week Ronda, it will be you and I in a singles match, and once I defeat you I get a title shot!

Shinsuke Nakamura: I let Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles go to war last week. Those two showed that they could maybe give me a great match...but we will see. The American Dragon, we finally get our dream match. AJ Styles, you are now in the back of the line.









AJ Styles: Not the person you were expecting, huh? Well as you know Daniel Bryan is still getting back into the hang of things, and since you decided to blindside him with a Kinshasa in the back of his neck, he was not cleared to be in any kind of environment that could lead to a physical action. So, he is not here tonight. But, you know who is here? AJ Styles!

Let me be the first to say, that I can appreciate you coming out here and try to smooth things over last week, but then again here comes you showing your true colors. But as much as I like you, Shinsuke, I'm not out here to talk about you or Daniel Bryan and as much as I would want to bury you with every shovel that I have, I'm not out here to talk about that either. I'm out here to talk about my opponent coming up at the next Pay-Per-View, and let me be the first one to say, that I know who you are. I know exactly who you are, Shinsuke Nakamura. You are the man, that I'm gonna beat to be the next WWE Champion, you are the man that I'm going through to get what I want. It's put up or shut up time for AJ Styles. I currently don't have a reason to be anywhere else, and you may have taken out your dream match. I'm putting it all-in, I'm betting it all. My life is on the line. I'm all-in. I haven't seen the WWE Title since you took it from me, I haven't even looked at it. I'm hungry to get what I want, and they say that Shinsuke Nakamura is the most dangerous guy in the building I beg to differ. AJ Styles is the most dangerous man on this planet!


Shinsuke Nakamura: You want in, AJ? That's it just fine. First, however, I need you to earn it. Next week we will do it again, and if you beat me it will gladly be a triple threat match for this. *raises WWE Championship*


AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have a stare-off to end the show.
