The Wait is Over

We open with clips from past drafts as the narrator tells us the draft continues now, just in case we didn't know. We cut to the arena, where Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and the wonderful Byron Saxton welcome us to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. We're reminded the roster changes do not take place until after Crown Jewel. A graphic is shown of those drafted to Raw when...

SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch & Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair In the Ring

"The Man" Becky Lynch makes a surprise entrance to a great pop from the Music City crowd. Becky makes her way to the ring and hoists her title. We get a quick clip from Friday, in which Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was drafted to SmackDown. A few boos as Becky stands in the ring, then a loud Becky chant. "The Man has come around to Monday Night Raw! Wow, it's been about a year and a half since I stood on this stage and I gotta tell you, it feels pretty good to be back. But now I'm going to make a lot of executives back there very unhappy bu jumping the gun but I don't care, I do what i want. So the first draft pick for Monday Night Raw is--" She pauses as the crowd chant for her. She calls herself Big-Time Becs and says it's her. Lynch points out that she technically didn't lose the Raw title. She states that the last time she beat Charlotte Flair, well, Flair was never the same again. Becky talks about being Becky-Two Belts and out comes Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair!

Flair takes her time getting to the ring, then hops on the mic. She mocks the concept of "Becky Two-Belts" because before Flair, she claims it was Becky-Pre-show. Bianca Belair makes her way out to a good pop and EST chant. "So y'all out here talkin' about unfinished business. But I've got some unfinished business with the both of y'all. I mean, yo must feel threaten because you both took cheap shots at me Friday Night." She tells them "I go here now." Flair tells her to shush. She says the Champions are talking. Belair tells her that she knows Flair isn't talking to her, disrespecting her. The crowd with a loud "Charlotte Sucks" chant, to which she answers "What?" after every chant. Belair tells us that she goes here. She calls Flair a girl, which upsets Flair, who claims to be a woman. "I'm not disrespecting you, I get it, you've done a lot." She runs down Belair's accolades, stating Belair's done almost as much as her. Flair says Belair should be thanking her for paving the way for Belair.

Becky gets on the mic, stirring the pot. She tells us she's beaten Charlotte enough and doesn't need to do that anymore, to which the crowd reacts positively. Lynch points out that Belair and Flair have never fought. Flair and Belair exchange words, heating it up until WWE Officials Adam Pearce & Sonya Deville come out! "For the first time ever, tonight on Raw it's going to be the Queen Charlotte Flair taking on the EST of WWE, Bianca Belair," they state. Our main event will be Flair vs Belair. Pearce tells us we've got a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Rematch, and tonight we're gonna start with a United States Championship match.

WWE Heavyweight Champion Big E Addresses the WWE Universe

Big E starts out with a city-name pop. "Man, it feels incredible to be on my show, Monday Night Raw! But I'd be lying if I said this past week or so didn't leave me with some challenges. One, for the second consecutive year Kofi & Xavier were drafted to a brand I'm not on." Huge boos followed by a "New Day Rocks" chant. "And I was also in the most physically-grueling match of my career but I made sure that the Almighty Bobby Lashley fell down to his knees! And I came to show the world that I am indeed your rightful WWE Champion!" Pop from the crowd. He addresses the fact that he's not had a break, as the next challenger came on down--and that man was Drew McIntyre. Big E calls out Drew McIntyre. Enter Highlander.

Drew McIntyre makes his way out with Angela the sword. He tries to make a joke, saying "It's a Drew Day, yes it is!" The crowd boos this. McIntyre whines about being screwed out of his title shot because he couldn't challenge Lashley. But now Big E is the champ. McIntyre says he calls it as he sees it and Big E deserves to be champion. Pop from the crowd followed by a "you deserve it" chant. McIntyre tells him that he earned it, and the guys and gals in the back are happy for him. He states he didn't congratulate him on social media--he wanted to say it here. He extends a hand and praises Big E, shaking his hand. "But...yeah you knew that was coming...technically you did cash in on an injured Lashley." He goes on to tell Big E that he did the world a favor in that regard. He then challenges Big E for the WWE Championship. Enter the Dirty Dawgs! Roode tells them that they've been minding their own business in the back, waiting to see who's drafting the Dirty Dawgs. Ziggler tells Big E he's very inspirational. Ziggler congratulates Big E and states he even did so on text--but Big E left it on unread.

Ziggler tells Big E he should be thanking him. He then shows a video clip from 8 years ago when Big E Langston was Ziggler's bodyguard and, with his help, Ziggler managed to win Big Gold. Ziggler states that without Dolph Ziggler, there'd be no New Day, no Big E. McIntyre tells Big E that he might have a point. Ziggler laughs. "Easy Jack, you're next!" Ziggler then takes digs into McIntyre, and brings up his past run in the WWE. He states it's an inspirational story and shows clips from 3 years ago, when Ziggler and McIntyre were a tag team in 2018. Ziggler claims he jumped on grenade after grenade for Ziggler, because he knew McIntyre would someday go to WrestleMania and beat Brock Lesnar for the championship. Ziggler claims all he wants, as a gentleman, is a simple thank you. "It's easy, I did all the work, you rode the coattails here." Big E and McIntyre huddle up, discussing the thank you. McIntyre tells Ziggler that he's clearly "upgraded," meaning Robert Roode. Roode tells them that he was a better friend and tag team partner than McIntyre was. He tells Big E that they call him (Roode) "Big Bob." Big E tells him that not one single person calls him that. Ziggler yells on the mic, telling them not to insult "Big Bob" and restates that he just wants a simple thank you "because I am the perfect gentleman." McIntyre asks what Nashville thinks about it, and they boo. Big E tells them that they do owe the Dawgs something "and that something is an ass whooping! So how about the two of you, Dirty Dawgs, against me--Big E--and..." he's interrupted by McIntyre who calls himself "Big D." They stare at him for a moment. We head to break.

Tag Match: the Dirty Dawgs vs WWE Champion Big E & "Big D" Drew McIntyre

After the break, we discover that this match was made. Totally surprised! We start with McIntyre and Ziggler. Throughout the match, Corey Graves calls everyone Big ____.

WWE Legend Bill Goldberg Speaks

As soon as the music starts, the entire arena chants Goldberg's name over and over. Smarks hate him, but live audiences love him. Goldberg bypasses the pyro, heading straight to the ring to a great pop. We're constantly remind about Lashley touching Goldberg's son inappropriately at SummerSlam. Goldberg gets on the mic. Let's hope he remembers his lines this time. "SEC Country! Bobby Lashley has the audacity to claim what he did to my son was a misunderstanding. It wasn't. It was intentional, so tonight I'm inviting Bobby Lashley in this ring so I can intentionally break his freakin' neck!" Bobby Lashley makes his way out in a snazzy three-piece suit and tie--I want that. Lashley speaks. "Bill, for the last time, what happened to your son at SummerSlam was a misunderstanding. And you must be out of your mind if you think I'm going to come down tot his ring right now and risk ruining this custom made suit to whoop your ass again. You see, Bill, Because some of us aren't still dressed like its 1998." Haha. Lashley continues, calling it a "myth" that he hurt Bill's son on purpose. He calls it character assassination and he feels Bill owes him an apology. Lashley tells Goldberg he'll fight him at Crown Jewel under one contention--its no holds barred! Goldberg thanks Bobby, adding "no holds barred give me a license to kill." He tells Bill he is crazy, like Lashley thinks. Goldberg states he'll give Lashley an apology when he leaves Lashley's broken body in the ring, gasping for air. "Because there's one thing we know for sure, Bobby Lashley. You're Next! And you're dead!" Lashley tells Bill that if Gage shows up, he's fair game. He asks Goldberg how he'd like someone on his back--referring to Gage's action at SummerSlam--and the Hurt Business hit the ring! Goldberg shakes both Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin off, using the Spear effectively to clear the ring and end the segment.
