We are in Boston, MA. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out. Paul says we are p!ssing off Brock. Paul says Brock laid 20 men to waste last week. Paul brings up Oba Femi. He asks how many times we heard the same narrative about how a new wrestler will be the next big thing. He talks about people who were supposed to put Brock down like Goldberg, Braun Strowman, Dean Ambrose, Lashley, AJ and Cena. He said it won't be Oba either. He says Oba will be conquered by Brock.  

Oba Femi comes out. He and Brock stare down. Brock boots him and goes for the F-5. Oba lariats him over the top. Brock is shocked and leaves with Paul. 

The announcers say Brock may be the underdog against Oba.

Dominik Mysterio says the match with Penta shouldn't be happening. He says he'd still be the IC champ if it's not for Finn. He says Finn got what he deserved. Dom then talks in Spanish about Penta and calls himself king of the luchadores.

AT side headlocks Jey. AT shoulders him over and Jey flying forearms him. AT takes a double back elbow and a double elbow drop. AT side headlocks Jimmy then facekicks him out. LP lariats Jimmy over the timekeeper's rail.

Jey goes up top and LP crotches him up there. Jimmy then gets sent into the post. LP grabs brass knucks then LA Knight comes out and sends LP into the post. LA hands Jey brass knucks. Jey then gets DQ'd for hitting AT with them.

Thoughts: It was short and nothing of note whatsoever with Jey cheating to win due LA giving him knucks.

Jey then comes in and nails LP with the knucks. 

Becky Lynch comes out to talk. She says the fans boo her and cheer someone who abandoned them for a decade. She says she turned the Women's IC Title in the most represented title in wrestling. She says she made the title and has to watch AJ Lee pretend she made the title. She says she went home and her daughter as pretending to be AJ. 

She says AJ felt like she mastered the diva's era. Becky says she murdered the diva's era. She says that what she will do to AJ.

AJ Lee comes out and Becky runs. AJ says Becky likes to fight dirty as she walked her like a dog when they fought. She says maybe she has to embarrass her one more time at Mania to get her out of her life. She says she will show her why she is her daughter's favorite wrestler. She says she will give her what she wants - an IC Title match at Mania.

Becky says AJ fell into her trap. She say she doesn't know what she is in for as Mania is her domain. She says she will end her at Mania and we wont hear from her again.

Thoughts: It was athletic and entertaining as expected. Evans is going to hurt himself one of these days bad though. He tope'd himself into the floor tonight which could have been bad. Evans won but just winning entertaining matches and is going to keep him at a certain level.

Kofi says he didn't want to get GW DQ'd as he could have won.

Paul Heyman and Adam Pearce talk in the back. Paul wants a street fight tag title match with The Vision vs The Uso's next week. Adam says he gave him something to consider. Paul wants to leave and Adam tells him he can go to the ring to address Seth Rollins now since he wanted the time for it. Paul says okay but he's sick of Seth and it all.

He says WWE isn't big enough for him and Seth. He says it's not a challenge but what other choice is he left with? He says maybe Seth needs to come down and put him out of his own misery. He says maybe they need to do this right now.

A masked man comes out and it's Seth. Police then get between them and walk Seth out. Paul says he wanted to handle this like a man and they file restraining orders in his family. He says Seth violated a restraining order and he's now going to jail. He then insults Becky and says he will adopt his daughter when he's in jail. Seth forearms Paul down.

CM Punk goes up to Jimmy Uso in the back. Jimmy tells him to be careful out there as Roman is on the warpath.

CM Punk comes out. Punk says he should watch what he says, shouldn't he? He says Roman can't do anything without his cousins. He says  the cousins can't do anything without Roman and says no one in the family can do anything themselves. Punk says this is the sh!t talk business. He says they do and say big things to sell the big title fight. He says he's tired of talking.

He says Roman calling him old p!ssed him off. He says it's not what he said, but who said it. He says his young boy doesn't get to disrespect him and call him old. Punk asks the crowd if he is old and the crowd is definitely split. Punk says he's old but not ashamed of it. 

He says he'd dye his whiskers if he was ashamed of it as that's what Roman does. He says he's middle aged and crazy like Terry Funk. He says he's Mr. Game 7. He says the more pressure he feels, the better he is. He says he feels like the best in the world. He asks if it's great to be alive in Boston on a Monday night.

He says Roman has already lost if all he sees is an old man. He says he dropped him with one punch last week and will tie him into knots at Mania. He says Gunther and Jey Uso didn't underestimate him but couldn't get the job done.

Jey Uso comes out. Punk asks if he wants to throw hands or talk. Jey says Punk is still running his mouth. He says they could do it now and he will run it back on him right now. Punk says he's not dressed for it but is a fighting champ.

Jimmy says to leave Punk to Roman. Jimmy says they got nothing to do with him. Jey says all Punk does is talk sh!t about the family. He says Roman isn't out here but he is.

Roman Reigns comes out. He says last time he checked, The Uso's had a tag match and it's done now. Roman tells Jimmy to get his brother and leave his ring. Punk says Jey should stay as Roman needs the hlp. Jey goes after Punk, Punk gets a shot in then it becomes a 3v1. Adam Pearce and officials come to break it up. Jey tells Roman to get Punk and Roman spears Punk. Punk is sent into the post then powerbombed through the commentary table. Roman asks Punk what he will do now. Punk says he's not the one needs help as the refs try to help him.

Thoughts: It made sense and all but it wasn't anything too earth shattering. They had the feud set when they first met up on Raw a few weeks ago. They didn't need to do anything else but WM was too far away and TV time had to be filled. The stuff since then hasn't been great.

Overall thoughts: It was an average Raw. We only had 4 matches and 2 had big time shenanigans going on during them. Roman/Punk isn't lighting the world on fire and neither is Seth vs The Vision. I'm not the biggest Gunther fan, but you also have to wonder where he is. He was pushed as the top heel until The Rumble and hasn't been on the show much since. I was also upset about them making the first 45 minutes of of this so you couldn't rewind or fast forward. I'd give this a low 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
