We are in Knoxville, TN. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

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.

The Vision come out. Paul says they are supposed to open the show on a high note. He insults the fans and welcomes us to Raw. 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.

Joe Hendry interrupts and sings, "Can we fire Logan Paul?". Graves sings, "We admire Logan Paul".

Austin goes for Seth and AD rolls up Austin to win.

Thoughts
: This got cut up by two breaks so we only saw so much of it. What we got was fine. Ford hit a quick tope con hilo here where he landed right on his feet. We didn't get any big Bron spears here but he really ran the ropes fast with a lariat.

Austin beats up Dawkins after. Seth throws Austin out. Bron goes for a spear on Seth and Seth throws Dawkins in the way. Seth superkicks Bron out of the ring. Ford yells at Seth and they shove each other. 

Adam Pearce talks to El Grande Americano Original, Bruto and Julio. Adam is confused. Liv Morgan and Dom Mysterio come in. Grande says he was talking to Adam. Liv insults him and tells him to get out of their faces. Grande says this is serious lucha business. Dom says Grande isn't a real luchador. Grande gets mad. Adam says Dom is in need of a title opportunity and he can defend it against Grande tonight. 

Adam talks to Angel and Berto. They say they want an opportunity. Adam says let's have a conversation. 

Penta talks in the ring. He says he's a "fighter champion" and challenges Ethan Page to come out. Page comes out. He says Penta wanted him to say things to his face.

Penta says he's not afraid and challenges him right now.

Rusev comes out. He tells them to shut up. He says Page amuses him but it doesn't sit well with him if Page gets a title shot first. Rusev tells Page to watch what he says next. Page says he said the same thing to Adam Pearce. He says he told Adam that Rusev deserves the shot first but Je'Von Evans said Rusev doesn't deserve it. 

Je'Von Evans comes out. He says what Page is saying isn't true and says it's true Rusev couldn't beat him. Rusev gets mad. Page pushes Evans into Rusev. Penta superkicks > lariats > plancha's Page. Evans then topes Rusev outside. Evans and Penta do Penta's strut.

Evans double jump springboard cutters him inside for the win.

Thoughts
: It was what you would expect with Evans flying around and Rusev roughing him up some. It wasn't bad and it got enough time to play out. Rusev probably could have used the win here though.

We get a video on the AAA Mega Title.

Iyo Sky and Asuka talk in the back. Asuka hugs her. Asuka says she was looking for someone to take over for her and says Iyo is the person. She say she's glad it was her and is proud of her. Iyo says even if they fight, they will always be family. Iyo tells her goodbye and see you later. They hug and Asuka kisses her. 

Thoughts: There's been rumors that Asuka is either done or taking a break. We will have to see. Hopefully she will be back. The women's division does need her.

Perez says she used to love watching them when they were young and relevant. Perez says Brie told her as a kid that she would carry on the Bella legacy. She says how dare she set the bar so low on her. Brie says she's confusing her for Liv. 

Perez says there's someone more disappointed her and it's Perez's mom. Raquel says Paige has been given a million chances and fumbles every one.

Thoughts: It slowed down a little at the end but we had some nice flying here. Sol did some things she doesn't always do. I liked what we got here. I don't think this will be the last time we see this.

The Uso's wait for Jacob Fatu in the parking lot. Jimmy says things went bad with Roman and says sometimes Roman is delusional. Jimmy says this family can be stressful. Jey says their family is why they are here today.

Iyo Sky tells Sol Ruca she's future and they will fight again some day. Becky Lynch walks in. She says Sol is supposed to be the next big thing but couldn't beat Iyo Jannetty. She says the lights are too bright.

Oba Femi vs Angel and Berto

Oba throws them in the ring and tells the ref to ring the bell. Oba hits running euros on them in the corners. Oba throws Angel over Berto then throws Berto. Oba pop-up sitout powerbombs Berto and pins him.

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.

El Grande Americano Original says the AAA Mega Title belongs around the waist of a lucha legend. He says we will witness the birth of a new king of the luchadores.

JD McDonaugh gets nailed by Finn Balor from the side and knocked into a box. Dom is with Finn and Finn tells Dom he will have to go out there alone. Dom says he has gold to defend and it's something Finn won't know anything about.

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.

Thoughts
: It wasn't the longest bout ever but it was entertaining and they kept things moving. Grande's bump into the post off the monkey flip was wild and the shenanigans at the end was amusing.

Theory and Logan are interviewed in the back. Logan says he wishes Jackie (or Wacky as he says) would go away. 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. Jackie asks about their match vs The Street Profits and Austin asks if she wants a ride. Cole then calls her "Wacky".

Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso come out. Roman says to acknowledge him.

Jacob Fatu arrives. Jey Uso tries to get Fatu's attention and talk him out of heading to the ring. Fatu heads to the ring. Jey pushes him and tells him to be smart. Fatu headbutts him down then hits more headbutts. Fatu says he won't acknowledge Roman and says Roman will have to beat the acknowledgement out of him. 

Jimmy comes into the aisle and Fatu beats him up. Fatu gets on the apron and stares down Roman. They fight in the ring. Roman's head is banged off the buckles and Fatu flying back elbows him. Fatu running lariats Roman over the top. Fatu goes for a top and Roman hits him. Roman chairs Fatu in the back.

Roman is sent into the steps. Roman superman punches him. Fatu grabs the death grip again. Fatu powerbombs him through the commentary table. Officials come out. Fatu puts the hold on again. 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.
