Drew enters the ring as we get a lengthy video package showing how Randy Orton attacked WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair last week. Drew says what Orton did last week was completely unforgivable. Orton brutalized Flair. Drew goes on about how great Flair is, pointing to how he’s a 71 year old man, who was close to Orton, but Orton just kicked him in his skull after he poured his heart out. Orton is pure evil. Drew says Orton isn’t facing a defenseless old man at SummerSlam, he’s facing a severely pissed off fire-breathing Scottish dragon and he’s going to hurt Orton… not just for Flair, but for everyone Orton has wronged in his entire career. We get more technical difficulties with the broadcast now as random graphics start flashing over the screen while Drew goes on, talking about Orton’s history with WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.

The camera cuts backstage to the production truck. RETRIBUTION is in the truck with baseball bats. The masked male and female attackers start destroying parts of the equipment and bullying the production workers. One guy is held against the wall. A masked man yells at him to cut the show off and he finally gives in, pressing the button. RAW goes black and straight to commercial.

– Back from the break and Drew McIntyre is in the back with a group of Superstars – Titus O’Neil, Ricochet, Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, The Viking Raiders, Akira Tozawa, Riddick Moss, Humberto Carrillo, and a few others. Titus asks if Ric Flair is OK, and he is. Drew goes on about Randy Orton and then RETRIBUTION, and says he doesn’t appreciate it when people come in his backyard and crap on others, which is what RETRIBUTION is doing. He proposes they band together and do something about the new faction. Seth Rollins and Murphy walk up. Rollins mocks Drew and says as The Messiah, he’s already the locker room leader. Drew says he’s been trying this for years now and if they’re not respecting him by now, it won’t happen. Rollins says being champion doesn’t make Drew a leader or a teacher.

Rollins says he was the first to teach Drew about being a champion, like he taught Dominik Mysterio how to be a WWE Superstar. Ricochet says Seth is about to get a receipt for what he did to Dominik. Ricochet and Cedric both heard Rey Mysterio will be here tonight but Seth doesn’t believe it. Drew asks if Rollins is scared. Rollins isn’t because he knows how to protect himself and others around him. Seth says Drew couldn’t even protect Flair last week, and needs to get his proprieties right or he will lose the WWE Title at SummerSlam. Drew threatens to drop Rollins and shoves him. The others calm things down and Rollins leaves with Murphy as Ricochet tells Drew he’s not worth it.

– We go back to the ring and out comes The Hurt Business – MVP, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. MVP says while Drew McIntyre is in the back organizing some kind of buddy system, The Hurt Business is here to make a statement. MVP says wherever RETRIBUTION might be, The Hurt Business is officially open for business.

MVP says while others are worrying about where RETRIBUTION might strike next, The Hurt Business is calling them out. He goes on about how RETRIBUTION isn’t tough, attacking people from the shadows, what’s tough is he, Benjamin and Lashley. MVP says he’s always learned to follow the money. Who benefits the most from RETRIBUTION? Follow the money trail and it leads to catering, to WWE United States Champion Apollo Crews and band of merry pranksters – Ricochet, Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander. MVP bets Crews came up with RETRIBUTION while he was at home on the couch. He goes on about why he thinks Crews is behind RETRIBUTION. The music interrupts and out comes Crews with his title.

Crews says he knows how MVP is but to accuse him of being behind RETRIBUTION is pretty low. Crews says MVP is just trying to come up with distractions before their title match at SummerSlam, because MVP knows he can’t beat Crews. They go on trading shots on the mic as Crews approaches the ringside area. Crews says if he can beat Shelton tonight, then Shelton and Lashley will be banned from ringside at SummerSlam, and will have to watch the match from catering. Crews says he will show MVP he just can’t beat him without any help. MVP accepts and says there won’t be any excuses at SummerSlam, just results. Benjamin comes out and tries to attack but it backfires and Crews hits the ring to stand tall and prepare for a fight, staring the others down. We go to commercial.

Apollo Crews vs. Shelton Benjamin – If Crews Wins, Lashley and Benjamin Are Banned at Summerslam

Crews wins by rolling up Benjamin off an R-Truth distraction.

Winner: Apollo Crews

After the bell, Lashley and MVP immediately hit the ring and attack Crews. Mustafa Ali, Ricochet and Cedric Alexander end up making the save. Lashley catches Cedric coming off the top with the Full Lashley. It takes Ali, Ricochet and Crews to get Lashley’s hold broken. They send him to the floor where MVP is standing. Truth comes running back down the ramp to ringside but Shelton drops him on the floor, covering him to win the WWE 24/7 Title. MVP takes the mic and challenges Crews to find two partners for a six-man Elimination Tag Team Match later on tonight. Per the stipulation on Crews vs. Benjamin, Lashley and Benjamin will now have to watch the United States Title match at SummerSlam from backstage as they are banned from ringside.

– Angel Garza is backstage with Demi Burnett of The Bachelor for her third straight appearance. Ivar interrupts and asks Demi if she wants to join The Raid and be his +1 to RAW Underground. He hands her a turkey leg and she thanks him. Ivar accuses Garza of poisoning RAW Tag Team Champion Montez Ford. They have some words and Garza promises to make him pay in their match. Garza throws the turkey leg to the floor and Ivar has another handed to him by someone off-screen. They end up walking off, leaving Burnett standing there with the turkey leg from Ivar and the rose from Garza. Back to commercial.

Ivar vs. Angel Garza

Garza wins with a dropkick to the face.

Winner: Angel Garza

After the match, Garza stands tall as the music hits. Andrade and Vega join him in the ring. Demi and Dawkins appear on the big screen. She congratulates him while Dawkins taunts. Demi indicates she will be at SummerSlam to watch the tag team titles match. Dawkins brings up Charly Caruso and Garza gets upset, telling him to mind his own business. Dawkins says we’re about to find out a lot about Garza and the squad he runs with. He points to the side and Garza is confused. The screen goes black. Garza exits the ring and runs to the back. Joe says something is about to come out and it’s good. Vega goes to Joe and demands to know what it is. Joe says due to the actions of RETRIBUTION, WWE has recently gone over hundreds of hours of security footage. He bets Vega would be interested in seeing the footage, because it shows how far some people are willing to go when they think no one is watching. Joe laughs as an angry Vega storms off, telling Andrade to follow. We go to commercial.

– Angel Garza walks up on Demi Burnett and Angelo Dawkins backstage. They have words and here comes Zelina Vega with Andrade. More arguing. Charly Caruso walks up and asks what’s on the video Dawkins is teasing. He calls on someone to roll the tape.

The video shows Vega apparently poisoning a red cup belonging to Montez Ford a few weeks ago. Caruso asks Vega what’s up with the video and Vega is shocked. Vega points the finger at Caruso and says she’s behind this because she’s jealous over Garza upgrading to Demi. Dawkins ends up stepping to Garza and Andrade. He talks down to them and says “his brother” wants the smoke. Ford suddenly returns as the RAW Tag Team Champions attack Andrade and Garza for a quick brawl.

Natalya vs. Mickie James

Natalya wins by count-out. During the match, Rollins came out to ask Joe how he knows Rey will be here tonight and berates him for not revealing his sources.

Winner: Natalya

After the match, Rollins takes the mic and he says if Rey and Dominik show him up, it’ll be the last mistake they make and they may not make it to Summerslam.

Sasha Banks and Bayley come out and the express excitement over their matches against Asuka at Summerslam because they’ll have no problem taking her on two on 1. They also talk down the potential competition for the tag titles at Payback one week after. Shayna Baszler comes out and says who ever is RAW Women’s Champion after Summerslam will have to see her next. Asuka came out after and angrily speaks in Japanese.

Nia Jax comes out and takes out Shayna Baszler before the break.

Winners: Shayna Baszler and Asuka

We get a recap of Rollins’ assault on Dominik last week.

Crews comes backstage and expresses thanks to Ali, Ricochet and Cedric for having his back. For the six-man tag, he chooses Ali and Ricochet to be his partner and Cedric asks why Crews didn’t choose him. Crews says he wanted him to recover himself and Cedric still isn’t happy but says ok as they leave. Randy Orton walks into the frame before we go to commercial.

After commercial, Drew and Shawn Michaels is backstage. Michaels says he understands Drew’s anger, but he warns Drew that Orton will use that anger against him and he needs to kick his head off at Summerslam. Drew says says he was taking his time to reflect on his journey and he says he can’t help but feel that he has to make Orton pay but that he he’s also let HBK down by letting Randy take out Edge, Christian, Big Show and Flair. HBK says being WWE Champion comes with adversity and Drew is tailor-made to handle it. He then asks Drew for his space as he addresses Orton.

The IIconics and The Riott Squad are backstage. Billie tells Ruby that Peyton will take her place in her match against Ruby because of a shoulder injury. Peyton calls Liv trash and Ruby gets in her face before they leave. The IIconics then notice Shayna Baszler is talking with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shaifir.

Peyton Royce vs. Ruby Riott

Royce wins with the Deja Vu.

Winner: Peyton Royce

Back from the break and RAW Underground host Shane McMahon welcomes us to another series of fights. The male and female extras stand around the ring, cheering and beating on the mat. Shane looks on as Erik faces off with an enhancement talent. They go at it and Erik controls but “the kid” as Shane calls him, keeps coming. Erik keeps him down and fights as Shane says that’s enough. Ivar comes in and joins Erik as he stands tall after the win. Dolph Ziggler is at ringside with Shane now. Shane congratulates Erik and asks Ziggler how he would rate Erik’s performance. Ziggler says it was alright, giving Erik a 4/10. Erik calls Ziggler to the platform now. Ziggler accepts and hops up on the apron as the crowd cheers them on.

Ziggler and Erik go at it now. They fight and tangle until Ziggler gets the upperhand on the mat. They come back up and Erik slams Ziggler. They get back up and go at it some more until Ziggler hops on Erik’s back with a Sleeper. Erik tries to take him down to get him off but Ziggler keeps the hold applied. Ziggler with a thumb to the eye now. He falls back, still with the Sleeper hold applied, and that’s it for the fight. Ivar suddenly attacks out of nowhere and sends Ziggler flying off the platform to the floor. Shane runs over and says that’s enough. Shane says we will be back to RAW Underground tonight.

– We go back to the ring and out comes Rey Mysterio with his son, Dominik Mysterio. We see the shots of the marks on Dominik’s body after last week’s kendo stick attack by Seth Rollins and Murphy. Tom hypes the Mysterio vs. Rollins Street Fight at SummerSlam.

Rey says there’s one word he’s experienced since the “Eye for An Eye” match at Extreme Rules – pain. Pain at first because of what Rollins did to his eye, but an even worse pain because of what Rollins did to his son. Rey says watching his first born cry in pain while there was nothing he could do about it, made him feel a rage that he’s never felt before. Rey tells Dominik he needed to be there to protect him, to stop the beating, to take it himself. Rey says he may not be fully recovered from Extreme Rules and there’s a chance he may never fully recover, but there’s no doctor on this Earth that will stop him from protecting his son. The crowd rallies for Rey.

Rey, who has a cover over one of the eyes of his ask, addresses Rollins and says he will be in Dominik’s corner to watch him kick Rollins’ ass at SummerSlam. Dominik says he appreciates that but he knew what he was getting into when he signed his contract to become a WWE Superstar, and he knows what he has to do to protect their family. Dominik says he will be ready. They hug. Rey says Dominik has no idea how proud of a father he is. He loves his son so much, and admires his fight, determination and will to fight for the family name. Rey knows his son will be ready to kick some ass and if Rollins gets anywhere near them tonight, he’ll be the one who doesn’t make it to SummerSlam.

Rollins and Murphy appear on the big screen and the crowd boos. Rollins can’t believe they came tonight. He didn’t take Rey for an idiot, coming to Rollins’ ring and putting Dominik in harm’s way this close to SummerSlam. Rollins says Rey is doing this for his own personal glory because it’s always been about Rey. He’s so selfish. What kind of father are you? Rollins goes on and says all this could’ve been prevented if Rey accepted his role in the greater good. But Rey has heart and it got in the way, his son got hurt. Rollins says it won’t just be Rey and his son who are hurt, it will end up being the Mysterio name and legacy that get sacrificed. Rey challenges Rollins to come into the ring and back up his big words. Rollins asks what’s wrong with Rey – he has one eye and his kid can barely stand. Rollins warns Rey that he asked for this. Don’t move. Rollins and Murphy walk off as Rey and Dominik wait in the ring. The music hits and out comes Rollins and Murphy.

Rey and Dominik hit the floor as soon as Rollins and Murphy enter the ring. Rollins tells Rey to back up his words now. Rollins and Murphy taunt them. Rey tells Dominik to wait near the timekeeper’s area as he teases getting in the ring. Dominik pulls a few kendo sticks from the timekeeper’s area. Rey distracts Rollins and Murphy from the floor while Dominik enters the ring and unloads on both challengers with kendo sticks. Murphy gets sent to the floor. Rey and Dominik unload on Rollins with kendo stick shots now. They tie Rollins up in the ropes but here comes Murphy. Dominik meets him with a kendo stick. Rollins slides out of the ropes and retreats to the floor, as does Murphy. Rollins regroups on the stage as Murphy runs away. The music hits as Rey and Dominik stand tall together in the ring.

– Still to come, more from Shawn Michaels.

– Cedric Alexander is backstage when MVP walks up and sits next to him. Cedric isn’t happy as he asks MVP what he wants. MVP tries to come in between Cedric and his friends. Cedric accuses him of stirring the pot. MVP goes on and tries to make Cedric question Ricochet and Apollo Crews. MVP says he made an offer to Cedric a while ago and that offer still stands, for now. MVP walks off and Cedric thinks, then angrily throws his water bottle. Back to commercial.

We go back to Shane at RAW Underground. He introduces Arturo Ruas and Riddick Moss for the next fight. They start going at it as the extras cheer them on and Shane works the mic. The brawl goes back and forth for a few minutes until they tumble to the floor, still going at it. They end up dropping a few of the extras and then facing off as Shane gives them props for the fight. Shane says RAW Underground will return.

We see what happened earlier with RAW Underground. Dolph Ziggler vs. Ivar is announced for next week. We go back to the RAW Underground arena now. Shane is preparing to introduce Marina Shafir for her debut but before he can finish the intro, Shafir attacks the enhancement talent and they start brawling. Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke watch from ringside with the other talents. Shafir brawls with the enhancement talent and ends up making her submit. Shafir stands tall but Nia Jax suddenly drops her from behind. Jax then drops Duke.

Shane tells fans to join RAW Underground again next week. Back to commercial.

Andrade vs. Montez Ford

Ford wins with the standing moonsault.

Winner: Montez Ford

Shawn Michaels comes out and says that Ric Flair loved performing inside this ring and if it wasn’t for guys like Flair, there would be no Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Batista, Edge, Christian, Big Show and no Drew McIntyre. That list includes Randy Orton, but unlike the rest of them, Orton doesn’t have the same gratitude for him like the rest do. Orton wasn’t appreciative of Flair mentoring him daily, but feels that he was owed and deserved that. He doesn’t know how it will happen, but he assures Randy that at Summerslam, he will get justice, whether it’s a Claymore or Sweet Chin Music, and Randy will see it coming.

Orton comes out from behind and RKO’s Shawn, and punts Shawn afterwards. Shawn goes into the corner and is dazed. Orton tries to accept Drew afterwards but clotheslines Orton out of the ring and sends him into the announce table and the plexiglass. Drew checks on Michaels afterwards before Orton RKO’s Drew.
