Monday Night Raw: 8 pm EST

Show opens up and Triple & Shawn Michaels come out to the ring. Triple H says he and Michaels took 25 years to climb the mountain, but the way the avalanche collapsed on that afterward made them question if the mountain was just a lie the whole time. Then a promo package reliving Undertaker and H’s feud is shown. Triple H then talks about respect and how it seems to be lacking today. He talks about the kind of respect that pits two friends back-to-back fighting against the world. And keeping your word no matter how many things try to make you go against it, that’s respect.

Shawn Michaels talks about the beatdown he and Triple H took at Super Showdown. Michaels says it really makes him think about the 8 long years he’s sat back and honored his word out of respect. And then Michaels arrived and Triple H said the three words he thought he’d never hear again: “Are you ready?” Triple then asks the Brothers of Destruction if they’re ready and Michaels says that D-Generation X is ready. And, Michaels says with ‘no respect at all’, that if the Brothers of Destruction aren’t down with that, he’s got two words for them: ‘Suck it!’

Singles Match: Bobby Lashley (with Lio Rush) vs. Kevin Owens

Bell sounds and they lock up. Lashley shows his strength advantage early. Rush talks trash at Owens on a mic as Lashley continues to control the match. Owens finally outsmarts Lashley and sends him flying to the outside. Owens goes after him and lands a shot at ringside but then Lashley fires back with a big clothesline. Owens ends up doing a big flip over the top rope out onto Lashley. Lashley gets back in it but hits the barricade hard as Owens evades his charge. Commercial break.

Back again and Lashley has Owens in a rear chin-lock. Owens starts to stand up ands Rush tells Lashley not to let that happen. Owens finally is able to separate and he goes storming after Rush who heads into retreat. Lashley takes advantage of Owens’ distraction and throws him into the steel steps and into the barricade. Rush keeps trying to get the crowd to chant “Lashley” but they just boo. Lashley continues to work Owens over with a series of attacks. Owens tries to counter but gets planted by a spinebuster and a standing-vertical suplex Lashley pins but Owens kicks out and the crowd cheers.

Lashley applies a full-Nelson but Owens breaks it and hits a superkick and a Stunner. Owens pins. 1-2-… but Lashley gets the shoulder up. Owens goes to the top rope as Rush talks trash in his face. Lashley hits the ropes and Owens gets crotched. Lashley proceeds to land strikes and then a big power move for the 3-count.

Winner: Bobby Lashley

After the match, Lashley puts a heel beating on Owens as the crowd boos vehemently.

Elias is in the ring playing his guitar and doing his shtick. He sings a song about how his loss at Super Showdown to John Cena wasn’t his fault. He insults the Chicago Cubs and the crowd boos with all its might. Then Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey’s music hits and she comes out to the ring to a big ovation. Commercial break.

6-Woman Tag Team Match: Ronda Rousey & The Bella Twins vs. The Riott Squad

Brie Bella and Liv Morgan start things off. They scrap wildly and roll out of the ring. Back in the ring and Rousey tags in and tosses the rest of the Riott Squad a few times as it cuts to commercial.

Back again and the Bellas work together to put a beating on Ruby Riott. The Riott Squad baits Brie into a trap at ringside and Ruby takes control of the match. The Riott Squad cycles tags and keeps Brie isolated as they maintain a steady pressure on Brie. Rousey gets all worked up as Brie tries to get a tag but is prevented due to some questionable maneuvering by The Riott Squad. Finally, Brie does get the tag and Rousey comes in hot. Rousey and Ruby battle and Rousey lands some striking combinations. Rousey drops Ruby with her finisher and then applies the armbar. Ruby taps.

Winners: Ronda Rousey & The Bella Twins

After the match, the Bella Twins suddenly blindside Rousey and beat her down mercilessly as the crowd boos. The commentators ask why. The Bellas laugh as they inflict punishment but then Rousey fires back and starts inflicting some punishment of her own. The Bellas eventually overtake Rousey again and they throw her into the steel steps. They batter Rousey for a disturbing amount of time, taunting her relentlessly. They stand over her motionless frame with their arms raised proudly.
