DISCLAIMER: So, I was writing this episode about a week ago when I accidentally closed my browser out and lost my progress. Then I've been without computer access for the longest time, so I'm just now (on May 19th) getting back to it, writing... Going to try to do my best to bring this back to memory. So, hopefully you enjoy.

Stephanie McMahon began the show on a high after last night's PPV on the WWE Network, when she goes through what happened, and mentioned Samoa Joe's main roster debut. Stephanie addressed a concern and that Randy Orton is the rightful #1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship of Seth Rollins, but she is hesitant after last night. Stephanie has now said for Orton to prove he's worthy of still being the next in line for the title when Rollins is healthy, she's making Joe versus Orton II at Battleground on July 17th. Stephanie says if Randy can not win that match, she'll look elsewhere to find Seth's next challenger. She then turns a page and calls Sami Zayn to the ring, who walks down just as puzzled as the fans. Stephanie applauds his efforts last night, first winning the Intercontinental Championship, and in the same night, nearly becoming Mr. Money in the Bank, so after working "double shift" last night, she's giving him the night off. Zayn refused, and instead, asked for Bray Wyatt in a match tonight. Stephanie thinks and agrees, saying he's earned a main event status, and that is what he'll get later tonight!
Brie Bella w/Daniel Bryan def. Emma w/Kaval
Getting some retribution from last night's cheap result, Brie forces Emma to tap her way out of the Yes Lock.

The Ascension def. The New Day w/Kofi Kingston
Xavier took Kofi's place this match, but likely for the worst, with Xavier falling victim to the Fall of Man.
Finn Balor is backstage discussing his victory last night over Kane in an interview, when The Dudley Boyz blindside Balor and leave him laying on the floor. The Dudley Boyz then head out to the ring and say they're ready to make a statement, and want the WWE Tag Team Champions NOW! Ambrose and Reigns make their way to the ring and ask if they wanted them, they just had to say so, and they're down for a fight if they are. The Dudley Boyz says they aren't wrestling one match until they have a title shot, and Dean's so confident to put his titles on the line NOW, and while Roman's trying to settle his partner down, it's too late and the referee's raising the belts in the air.
Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns(c) def. The Dudley Boyz to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships
During the match, Balor's music hits and this costs The Dudley Boyz a chance for a 3D on Ambrose, when Roman hits a Superman Punch on D-Von and then spears Bubba, as he pulls Ambrose over Bubba Ray for the successful title defense. After the match, Balor hustled to the ring to attack The Dudley Boyz and hit 1916 on D-Von, the Coup de Grace on Bubba.
Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan along with him. They prop the rocking chair in the middle of the ring as Bray sits down with the Money in the Bank briefcase in his lap. Wyatt tells the whole world he proved them wrong, when he said he held the fate of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his hands. He's kept the title out of the wrong hands with Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy, and he also kept this briefcase out of the hands of Sami Zayn. He promises to cash in this briefcase in his timing and become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Backstage, Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan are interviewed after Brie's big win earlier tonight and Brie Bella says it was great to be back in the ring last night and she's excited for what's to come.

Daniel says he's watched some of the younger talent recently and would love to see if he can keep up.
Sheamus def. Sin Cara w/Kalisto
Sheamus ended Sin Cara quickly with a Brogue Kick and as Kalisto went to check on Sin Cara, Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick on Kalisto as well.
Ric Flair came out to the surprise of many as he talked about last night and then introduced his daughter as the Divas Champion Charlotte! Charlotte came down and took the mic from her dad and was emotional after her having the opportunity to compete in front of her father. She said she couldn't have done it without him, and also wanted to introduce someone else who helped, and that was the person who got her up from NXT, Paige!! As Paige's music hit and she came out, she was attacked by Natalya from behind. Charlotte screamed at Natalya as she put Paige in the Sharpshooter, and wouldn't let go until Charlotte left the ring and charged up the ramp, as Natalya got in a fighting stance staring at Charlotte, when Natalya's music hit as she left after signaling a title around her waist.
Samoa Joe is advertised for his Raw in-ring debut next week, going against Jeff Hardy.
Becky Lynch def. Naomi
Locking in the Dis-arm-her, Naomi had no choice but to tap.
John Cena came to the ring and talked about losing his opportunity last night to regain the United States Championship. He called Neville to the ring and once Neville got down there, Cena showed a huge level of respect and shook his hand. This got a standing ovation from the crowd and this emotional moment ends when this is met with Dolph Ziggler coming down and saying he's glad that Cena didn't win last night because if anyone is to beat Neville and take the United States Championship off the one disgraceful immigrant of this country, "it should be me". Cena took high offense, but Neville calmed him down and told Dolph that he went through a lot last night in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and that he exhausted himself against Cena as well defending the title. Neville then said if Dolph Ziggler wants a title shot so bad, he's willing to give it to him. He asks next week on Raw, if he'd like a title shot then, it'd give him a week to heal up. Ziggler accepted and shook Neville's hand, but kicked him below the belt and left sooner, before Cena could retaliate. Neville brushed it off and said it was fine, as Dolph bragged about being the next United States Champion.
Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is approached by The Dudley Boyz, who are hot after losing their title match earlier tonight, and they want Balor in a handicap match as soon as possible. Stephanie told them to slow down and they're lucky the bell was even rung, because if it was up to her, they wouldn't have gotten a title match. Stephanie said the best she can do is give The Dudley Boyz a tag team match against Finn Balor and a partner of his choosing next week. The Dudley Boyz shake their head and walk off, making a remark that it better not be Jeff Hardy again.
Sami Zayn def. Bray Wyatt w/Erick Rowan and Luke Harper via disqualification
As Zayn held his own, Alberto Del Rio rushed down and attacked Sami Zayn and locked in the Cross Armbreaker after Bray had hit a Sister Abigail. This was met with Daniel Bryan trying to make the save, but a 4-on-1 disadvantage there with Zayn already taken out.
