Prior to the start of Raw, Triple H laid out the rules for how DX should conduct themselves during their 25th Anniversary Celebration.
Roman Reigns and the Bloodline made their way to the ring, where the Head of the Table addressed Jey Uso's antiques in recent weeks, asking his right-hand man and cousin if he is the weak link in the faction. Matt Riddle then interrupted The Bloodline, defied Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and accepted the challenge for a matchup against Sami Zayn for later in the night.
JOHNNY GARGANO def. AUSTIN THEORY
In the height of a hard-fought, deeply personal matchup against Austin Theory, Johnny Gargano delivered an earth-shattering kick to the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history to knock his opponent outside the ring. Then, after charging through the ropes to follow up with another DDT onto the ringside floor, Gargano hit one final DDT in the ring for the three-count.
DOMINIK MYSTERIO LEVELS HIS DAD WITH A 619
Although Rey Mysterio reigned supreme against Alpha Academy's Chad Gable with a 619/Splash combination, Dominik Mysterio stepped into the ring after the bell and slapped his dad. Although The Master of the 619 preceded to take to the offense against emerging Judgment Day members Finn Bálor and Damian Priest, he still refused his son's taunting pleas to hit him. When The Legendary Luchador turned his back to leave, Dominik attacked him from behind and executed the 619 on his own father.
Shortly after that, the Judgement Day invited AJ Styles to the ring with hopes that the Phenomenal one would join the faction. AJ Styles played along before dropping the bombshell and reuniting with Luke Gallows and Kurt Anderson who laid out Judgment Day and cleared the ring.

CANDICE LERAE UPSETS BAYLEY
Although Candice LeRae managed to pick up a quick pin on Bayley in their one-on-one matchup, The Poison Pixie suffered a vicious post-match sneak attack courtesy of Damage CTRL. Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair attempted to rush to her rescue, but the numbers disadvantage quickly caught up to her and the nefarious trio of Baylay, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY left their opposition reeling on the canvas.
In other news, Dexter Lumis made a mess of The Miz’s Birthday Bash; sending The A-Lister heading for the hills and leaving Maryse covered in cake.

SETH 'FREAKIN' ROLLINS IS CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN
Moments before the United States Championship rematch pitting Bobby Lashley against his challenger Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Brock Lesnar suddenly reemerged and launched a vicious assault on The All Mighty!
Surrounded by WWE officials and medical personnel, the clearly injured Lashley insisted on going through with the subsequent title matchup after The Visionary dished out a series of personal insults. Despite fighting valiantly against Rollins, Lashley finally fell to his opponent's unrelenting attack as Rollins hits a delivering Stomp to lay claim to the U.S. Title.
MATT RIDDLE def. SAMI ZAYN
Two nights after making Seth “Freakin” Rollins tap out inside the Fight Pit at WWE Extreme Rules, Matt Riddle battled Sami Zayn one-on-one. In the course of the match, "Main Event" Jey Uso was all too happy to follow Zayn's continued instructions to let him handle matters without help. At the height of the action, he even prevented his brother Jimmy Uso from doing the same. Left to his own devices, The Bloodline's Honorary Uce was ultimately defeated by Riddle and the RKO.
