The New Day(c) vs The Shield- Hell in a Cell Match for the Raw Tag Team Championships
Big E and Kofi Kingston represented the New Day while Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns wrestled for The Shield in the final match between these two groups. This was a physical encounter, as Ambrose and Reigns used the steel to neutralize Big E, opening the big man up. This left Kingston on his own, as the challengers went to work. But like Xavier Woods at Backlash, the heart and resilience of Kofi was on full display, and he just managed to survive against the numbers game. Big E fired up and turned the tide, as the champions rallied. Reigns was taken out with a Midnight Hour, and Ambrose then took a Trouble in Paradise and the Big Ending for the three count.
Winners and still Raw Tag Team Champions: The New Day
Jason Jordan vs Kurt Angle
This was a match-up between youth and experience as Jason Jordan faced Kurt Angle. Jordan more than backed up his bold claims, out-wrestling his counterpart, and staying one step ahead all the way to the end, putting Angle away with an inverted version of the Angle Slam.
Winner: Jason Jordan
Paige vs Ruby Riott
Paige looked for revenge as she faced Ruby Riott while Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan watched on. The Anti-Diva would not get her vengeance on this night, as thanks to a few distractions from the Riott Squad, Ruby got the win with the Riott Kick.
Winner: Ruby Riott
Tommaso Ciampa(c) vs Johnny Gargano- Street Fight for the United States Championship
Johnny Gargano took the violence to new heights in this Street Fight against his former partner, Tommaso Ciampa. Gargano brutalized Ciampa with weapons, as the match spilled out of the ring, up the ramp and all the way backstage. Johnny Wrestling had sick thoughts on his mind, and powerbombed Ciampa onto the windshield of a car! But Ciampa was still moving, and began pleading, begging for Gargano to stop, admitting defeat. It was all a ploy, as Ciampa tried to hit a low blow, but Gargano saw it coming. In a replay of the Elimination Chamber beatdown, Gargano delivered a knee to the face, before hitting Ciampa with a big slam on the floor! Gargano Escape applied! Ciampa fought as best he could, but the pain was too much and he tapped out, ending his title reign and his time on Raw.
Winner and the NEW United States Champion: Johnny Gargano
Becky Lynch(c) vs Natalya- Submissions Match for the Raw Women's Championship
Becky Lynch and Natalya showcased a more pure wrestling match, each looking to set up their deadly submissions. Lynch did a good amount of work early and did manage to lock in the Dis-arm-her, but Natalya was able to power out. The Queen of Harts was the aggressor in this match, sending the Lasskicker to the floor and deliver a sick powerbomb on the ring apron. That set up the Sharpshooter, but with the heart of a champion, Becky survived. Lynch laid it all on the line, hitting an incredible exploder suplex off the top rope, before applying the Dis-arm-her again and forcing Natalya to tap out.
Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Becky Lynch
Aleister Black(c) vs Randy Orton- Last Man Standing Match for the Universal Championship
From the start, this was an incredible physical match, as Aleister Black and Randy Orton beat lumps out of each other in the name of the Universal Championship. Orton would strike the biggest blow first by catching Black with an RKO, but Black was able to answer the count. From there, the champion took complete control. Orton was beaten bloody and taught a lesson for his cowardly attack at Backlash. The Viper did show some heart in managing to rise from one Black Mass, but then he took another, then a third, and that was that. The official counted to ten, as Aleister Black got his revenge and this time, it was Randy Orton who required medical assistance.
Winner and still Universal Champion: Aleister Black
Bobby Lashley vs Braun Strowman- Extreme Rules Match
Bobby Lashley did everything he could to put Braun Strowman away. Lashley speared Strowman through the barricade, and put Strowman through two tables with powerbombs, but none of it worked. The Monster Among Men fought back against the Dominator using a bat, before hitting a powerslam off the apron onto the floor! But that was only good enough for a near fall, as Lashley proved to be just as resilient as Strowman. In a state of shock, Strowman went high risk, climbing to the top rope. But Lashley stopped him with a right hand, and hit a powerslam of his own, all the way from the top rope! Lashley put every last bit of effort as he just managed to lift Strowman up, before driving him down with the Dominator! One.................two.......................three! Bobby Lashley does the impossible, while Braun Strowman comes up short again in his quest for a Universal Championship match.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
