We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out. Roman Reigns arrives in a car. Adam Pearce goes up to him. He says Backlash was too much and says Fatu doesn't deserve to be here tonight. Roman asks where his title is and why it's not in his hands. Adam asks for someone to bring Roman his title. Roman says he can't fire Fatu tonight as he hasn't acknowledged him. Roman says he cleared him and brought him here and he will take him out.

He says we have pure talent in the ring and Bron Breakker represented that at Backlash. He asks, "Who's not ready now?". He says it's Seth Rollins. He says Seth was not ready for the onslaught of Bron. Paul says there's no reason for them to mention Seth's name anymore.
Paul asks Austin Theory to air his grievances. Austin says they got Bron back and now have a 6-man tonight. Austin says The Street Profits keep putting their noses in their business. Austin says The Profits need the tag titles as Bianca Belair can't pay the bills no more.
The Street Profits come out. Ford says he is here because his wife can't take care of the bills. He says since she's busy with the baby, someone had to whoop their @sses. Ford says they came back to Raw to win the tag titles. He says they are always up and want the smoke.
Logan says everyone knows The Profits are a legendary tag team but says we will find out that they are old news. Logan says the only notable thing Ford has done in 6 months is organize a baby shower. He says Bianca is better than Ford. Logan says they are ready anytime and anywhere. Logan says he was ready before he was born.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash here. Angel and Berto never officially agreed to the match. Either Angel or Berto made it seem like they might be done with WWE a few weeks ago, so we will have to see if this means anything.

Grande II gets on the apron and Grande Original goes for his mask. Dom 619's Grande then top rope splashes him for the win.

He says if he has to listen to "Fire Logan Paul" one more time, he will cut his ears off. He says Joe is tone deaf and the song isn't that good. Austin tells him to relax.

Officials try to break it up. Fatu then licks the title in the ring and holds it up. Fatu says he keeps trying to tell us he's all gas and no breaks with it. Fatu then runs back and hip attacks Roman and The Uso's throw the rail. Fatu's got spit all over his face and Roman's elbow is busted open.
Overall thoughts: We had a lot of decent in-ring action here with nothing being bad. Some of it was just kind of filler though. Joe Hendry's doing well and both the Seth/Bron and Roman/Fatu feuds continue. Asuka is going away, maybe for a bit or permanently, which sucks and we'll have to see what happens there. The Grande vs Grande feud continues and The Street Profits are back in the mix. I'd say Sol vs Iyo was the match of the night. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a good show.
