– WWE Monday Night RAW kicks off with the commentators welcoming us.
– Seth Rollins arrives in the ring. Rollins welcomes us to Monday Night Rollins. He introduces us to our host for the evening, the image of RAW, a revolutionary, Seth Rollins. Rollins asks if we believe in karma. Bad things happen to bad people. He was skeptical, but nine days ago at Clash at the Castle, everything was in harmonies as he beat Matt Riddle. He crushed Riddle’s face and over 60,000 fans sang his theme song. Now Riddle has asked for a match once morest him, but the problem is that he’s not very interested in a rematch. One wonders perhaps what awaits him then? The crowd sings “rematch”. Rollins says he’s not interested in a rematch once morest Riddle, so shut up.
Rollins says he’s interested that it’s been too long since he’s had a championship. Matt Riddle’s music cuts Rollins off and he lands. Riddle says a “bro” and enters the ring to fight Rollins. The two exchange blows, Rollins wants to flee into the crowd, but Riddle chases him. Rollins manages to push him back once morest the wall and flees backstage.
Riddle wanted to sue him, but Judgment Day arrives. Finn Balor says they’re not here to fight, they’re friends. Judgment Day enters the ring and Damian Priest says they have come a long way together. They’re just here to offer him a spot on the team. They were in the same situation a few months ago, but something was still holding them back. They’re here to change that for Riddle. Balor says Dominik has grown so much over the past few weeks and he has stepped out of his father’s shadow. Dom is going to take care of Edge tonight as a bonus. Balor says they are sorting things out. Priest tells Riddle to stand up with them or else fail once morest them. Riddle says he and Priest have come a long way, but now his attention is on Rollins so his answer is no!
Balor says maybe Riddle isn’t clear-headed. Will he stand with them or in their way? Riddle kicks Balor and pushes Priest down the ring!

– Behind the scenes, Sarah is with Damage CTRL to get their feedback on the rematch. Bayley says he shouldn’t even have a rematch because his daughters should be champions. Aliyah made the count of three on the bad wrestler. Dakota Kai says they’ll fix it tonight. Iyo Sky says it’s their division here.
– Back, we present a video on Dominik Mysterio.
Dominik explains that he is only known as Rey Mysterio’s son, but everything changed in Clash at the Castle. For the first time he felt alive, he became his own person. He didn’t want to put up with the disrespect anymore and Edge got exactly what he deserved. And tonight he will finish what he started. Dominik says he knows his dad is disappointed, but that’s too bad, it’s his life and not his dad’s life. His dad should be wondering why, why his dad didn’t try to get to know him? Why didn’t his father ask him what he wanted from his career? It’s over to live under the great shadow of Rey Mysterio. Rhea Ripley whispers something to him. Dom says he’s not Rey’s little baby anymore, he’s a man.
– We present a video on the career of Johnny Gargano.
– In a video earlier today, Austin Theory says there are a lot of surprises here. He knows Gargano well and he knows who will be his first opponent for his RAW debut. It’s not him since he’s very busy. It’s someone who is a friend to him, Chad Gable. Gable arrives and says that Johnny Wrestling will now be Johnny Shooosh.

– Behind the scenes, Rey Mysterio reunites with Dominik and says he heard everything. He didn’t know that Dominik was keeping it all inside, if he might he would change everything, he’s sorry. Dom doesn’t need to go and confront Edge, they can still fix everything and be a family. Rey says Edge is like a brother and uncle to Dom, he shouldn’t confront him. Edge isn’t going to hold anything back when he gets in the ring and things are never going to go back to the way they were. Dom refuses to answer and look at him. Rhea Ripley walks in and says Dom is a man now. The two leave.
