Episode summary[]

Angelo Dawkins vs Andrade[]

Just one week removed from the shocking poisoning of Montez Ford that shook up the Raw Tag Team Title picture heading into SummerSlam, Angelo Dawkins set out to put his challengers on their back foot, battling Andrade in one-on-one action.

Zelina Vega tried to interfere in the bout, until Ford’s furious wife, Bianca Belair, arrived and yanked her off the ring apron. That gave Dawkins the opening to connect with the Cash Out to pick up the victory.

Bianca Belair vs Zelina Vega[]

Despite Zelina Vega denying any involvement in Ford’s poisoning and doing her best to slow Belair, there was no stopping The EST of WWE. Belair planted Vega into the canvas with the KOD to get the three-count.

After the match, Dawkins revealed that Montez Ford will be ready to go for the Raw Tag Team Title Match at SummerSlam.

Liv Morgan vs Peyton Royce[]

Though they were successful in their first match back as a team last week, it looks as though The Riott Squad still need to fully get back on the same page. As Liv Morgan took on Peyton Royce in singles action, Ruby Riott did her best to neutralize Billie Kay at ringside. Unfortunately, that caused a distraction, leading to Royce connecting with the Deja-Vu to pick up the victory.

Asuka vs Bayley[]

With Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks watching from ringside, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley fought for The Boss’ SummerSlam fate, trying to prevent the retribution-minded Asuka from getting a rematch at The Biggest Event of The Summer. Bayley tried to exert her will on Asuka, but The Empress of Tomorrow’s rage was too much to contain. “The Role Model” went a bit too far in mocking Asuka’s friend and former tag team partner, Kairi Sane, and soon found herself in the Asuka Lock with no choice but to tap out, sealing Banks’ destiny for a rematch with The Empress of Tomorrow in two weeks.

Shayna Baszler takes out three foes at once in Raw Underground[]

After Dabba-Kato’s win, Shayna Baszler immediately jumped in the ring, seemingly seeking a fight in Raw Underground. She got her wish, and more, when three women ganged up on her at once. Despite fighting at a severe disadvantage, The Queen of Spades was never truly in danger. Baszler fought off all three women, dropping one with a kick to the head and the second with a thunderous judo slam before making her third opponent tap out to the Kirifuda Clutch. Shayna Baszler seemed right at home in Raw Underground. Will anyone be able to stop her when anything goes?
