Intro plays
The Club make their way to the ring. They will be taking on The Hardy Boyz in a non-title match.
Match 1: The Club vs The Hardy Boys
The Club are able to single out Matt Hardy as they barely allow Jeff Hardy to see any action. The hit two Magic Killers on Matt Hardy and are able to prevent Jeff Hardy from breaking up the count. Luke Gallows pins Matt Hardy in a statement match that is sure to grant them a rematch for the tag titles.
After a commercial break The Miz is making his way to the ring. He is the first one to come over from SmackDown! He starts his segment, Miz TV!
Segment: Miz TV!
The Miz comes out and insults the WWE Universe. He then calls out Dean Ambrose, announcing that he too has come to Raw, bringing the Intercontinental Title with him! He demands a rematch against Dean for the title. Dean comes out and says if he wants to go he'll go right now! The Miz says he needs to talk to the guys in the back, but will get a title shot.
Coming back from commercial break, it's announced that Dean Ambrose will defend the Intercontinental Championship in tonight's Main Event vs The Miz! Kalisto makes his way to the ring as he too is coming from SmackDown.
Match 2: Kalisto vs Akira Tozawa
Both guys looking to make a name for themselves here on Raw, especially after Neville defeated Austin Aries last night at WM33. Kalisto gets a slight advantage over Akira and is able to hit the Salida Del Sol! Kalisto pins Akira for the clean win, and his first in the cruiserweight division.
Match 3: Emma vs Alexa Bliss
Another first for both superstars as they head to Raw looking to challenge Bayley for her Women's Championship. Another solid match, both women are able to get their offense shown and have a good competitive match. Emma is able to take advantage though and finishes Alexa Bliss off with a big power slam. Both women make a great first impression on their first night here.
Main Event: The Miz vs Dean Ambrose (C) Intercontinental Title Match
This quickly escalates into a brawl as both guys refuse to pin eachother and would much rather beat the hell out of one another instead. Dean Ambrose does a spectacular job of working The Miz's neck and head area, as he hits a superplex off the top rope after a snap suplex. He goes up top for a second time and hits Miz in the back of the head with a big elbow! This sets Dean up perfectly to hit Dirty Deeds, which he does, and successfully defends his title to end the show.
