In-Ring: RETRIBUTION, The Hurt Business

RETRIBUTION storms the ring with new attire and masks. They take down their hoods. The commentators say they have signed official contracts with WWE. Mia Yim under a mask asks WWE management if they thought they were safe because they gave them contracts then they should think again. The fighting continues because their superstars are motivated for money. They are done being stepped on looking for the imaginary brass ring. Dominik Dijakovic says they are here to destroy WWE and rebuild it in the image of RETRIBUTION. They’ll drain the lifeblood of this company in the WWE Superstars. They are the sickness infesting this hellhole. Dijakovic says the superstars do this to collect their money and take their paydays like whores. RETRIBUTION will make them pay for their sins because they’re the judge, jury, and executioners.

The Hurt Business’ music hits, and they come out to the stage. They remove their jackets and get in the ring. RETRIBUTION quickly clears out of the ring. MVP says they have no heart or chainsaws. They’re not so tough. MVP figured since they got contracts, they would stop running their mouths. MVP says if they want an opportunity, they have one tonight to be on the business end of some hurt.

Backstage: RETRIBUTION

RETRIBUTION is backstage. Dominik Dijakovic says The Hurt Business could have been part of the solution, but they bent the knee to WWE. They line their pockets with WWE’s money. They asked for this match in greed. The payment won’t come in the form of money. It’ll come in the form of a match against them and they’ll pay in RETRIBUTION.

In-Ring: Kevin Owens, Shane McMahonn, Dabba Kato, Braun Strowman, Aleister Black

Kevin Owens is in the ring. Last time he hosted The Kevin Owens Show, he got attacked by Captain Hot Topic (Aleister Black), but he took care of him last week. His guest is someone he would have never thought would be on his show, but 2020 is weird. His guest is Shane McMahon.

Shane McMahon’s music hits, and he walks out to the ring. McMahon thanks him for having him on the show. Owens mentions they fought for two years and he got Shane fired. But tonight they’re going to showcase what McMahon does best: promote. Owens tells McMahon to promote away because he can’t wait. McMahon puts over Dabba-Kato vs. Braun Strowman. McMahon says Owens knows Dabba-Kato well and brings him out.

Dabba-Kato makes his way to the ring. Owens gets up and says he doesn’t care about Raw Underground for tonight. He cares about Raw Underground from two weeks ago.

Owens then introduces his second guest, Braun Strowman.

Backstage: RETRIBUTION, Titus O’Neil, Humberto Carrillo

In-Ring: Randy Orton

Randy Orton shames everyone for thinking he wouldn’t make it to Clash of Champions. Doesn’t his track record speak for itself? 20 years on the roster and he’s never walked away from a title match. He won’t do that anytime soon… but the World Title match at Clash of Champions isn’t exactly a normal match.

Orton gets out of the ring and walks up to the ambulance that is parked next to the stage. Orton opens the back doors and says he took a ride in this very ambulance a few weeks ago. He took not one, not two, not three… well actually three Claymore Kicks. As they were flying down the highway and the sirens were blaring, he was fading out of consciousness. The feeling came over him is the feeling of being taken out by The Legend Killer. That was what Edge, Christian, Big Show, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, and even Drew McIntyre felt like when he kicked them in the skull. When he came to in the back of the ambulance, he felt a smile. He wasn’t smiling because of the pain. He was smiling because he remembered what he is capable of and remembered what it takes to become WWE Champion. This ambulance represents different things for different people. For some, it represents hope and healing. For others it represents pain, agony, and even death. This ambulance represents to him is his 14th World Championship. Orton tells McIntyre to listen up. At Clash of Champions, he’ll make sure McIntyre takes one more ride in this ambulance. His World Title reign will flatline courtesy of the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment: R-K-O. Orton slams the doors of the ambulance and stares into the camera.

Backstage: Asuka, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay

Sarah Schreiber is backstage with Raw Women’s Champion Asuka. She asks Asuka if Mickie James is a bigger threat to Asuka’s title or Zelina Vega.

Asuka asks if they’re still friends, but Billie says they’re not a tag team but still friends. Royce says things change like Asuka being the champion after Sunday.

Segment: Akira Tozawa, R-Truth

We go to the beach earlier in the day. Akira Tozawa is hiding in the ocean. WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth shows up. A great white shark fin shows up in the ocean.

Cedric Alexander vs. Apollo Crews

Cedric Alexander and MVP make their way to the ring. MVP says this is an announcement to RETRIBUTION. They’ll be in a 6-Man Tag Match and will find out why they’re the Hurt Business. They can claim to be judge and jury, but they’re the executioners. Alexander says he learned the hard way when you send a message to the Hurt Business, you’ll get it back tenfold just like he’ll do to an old friend. He’s going to get even with Apollo Crews for the months he used him for a championship opportunity. Alexander will show he doesn’t give a damn about Crews or his kids.

Apollo Crews comes out with Ricochet. Crews never thought he’d see this side of Alexander. All they care about is punching Alexander in the face.

Shane McMahon says that was amazing. McMahon goes to talk to Braun Strowman, but he doesn’t want to talk to him. A new interviewer named Briana Brandy interviews Strowman. Strowman says he’s sending everyone home to their mommies with a pocket full of teeth. If Shane wants some, he can get these hands too.

In-Ring: Seth Rollins, The Mysterio Family

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring holding a manila envelope. Rollins says it is no secret that he’s had the Mysterios’ number for a while. After he beat Dominik last week in a Steel Cage, he thought it was all done. Rollins thought he was free of the torment the Mysterio family has put him through for months… but something has been bothering him about the Mysterio family for quite some time. Rollins should let it go, but he was inspired to look into it by the most unlikely of sources. WWE.com posted a series of photographs of the Mysterio family this week. A light bulb went off in his head. The world has to know the truth. It’s hard to do it justice with words.

A photograph of the Mysterio family is shown on the big screen. Rollins tells the people to look at Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. It doesn’t seem possible or fathomable. It’s almost unbelievable. We deserve the truth, so he had some people do some digging. In this folder is the results of that investigation. Before he delivers the information to the WWE Universe, he’d like to extend a courtesy to the Mysterio family to come out and find out the truth from him in person. Rollins owes them that much.

The Mysterio family comes out to the stage. Rey says they are tired of the games and are going to give him a beating like they did to Murphy. Rollins says he’s grown to respect this family and what they stand for. It might sound weird, but he’s inspired by them. They stand together and cheer each other on. They fight together and overcome adversity. That’s why they deserve the truth. In this envelope is the results of a DNA test. It’s been done before, but times have changed. They need to get to the bottom of this once and for all. They need an answer to the question. Is Rey Mysterio really Dominik’s father. Rollins takes out the paper and says the truth is… Rey Mysterio is not the father of Dominik. Rollins laughs.

Rey asks if he really brought them out here for this. They’ve been there before. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. Rollins needs to stop running his family through the mud. Rollins says Rey might be onto something. Maybe he made a mistake. Maybe his guy got the wrong Mysterio kid. Maybe it’s not Dominik… maybe it’s Aalyah who is not his daughter. Aalyah laughs. Rollins has concrete evidence aside from the DNA test.

Footage is shown of Aalyah checking on Murphy before getting in the ring last week on Raw. Rollins asks if that’s really his daughter. That doesn’t seem like something a Mysterio would do. She was consoling his disciple, Murphy. What was going on? Aalyah… what was going on there, Rollins asks. Rey says they already spoke about it, but he raised his daughter to be caring and compassionate, something Rollins knows nothing about. Rey tells Rollins to keep his daughter’s name out of his mouth. She’s just 19-years-old. She’s naive and knows nothing about their world. Aalyah looks insulted and walks off on him. Angie, Rey’s wife, goes after her. Rey and Dominik look confused. Rey walks away, and Dominik angrily stares at Rollins before going to the back.

Rollins looks lost for words. Rollins apologizes and says he was out here to inform, not to drive a wedge in the Mysterio family. That happens sometimes. It can happen to the Mysterio family. It’s probably even happened to some families in the crowd. Rollins apologizes and leaves.

Backstage: The Mysterio Family

We go backstage to see Aalyah arguing with her father, saying she can speak for herself. She’s here to support Dominik. Seth Rollins hurt Rey and Dominik. God knows what he’ll do to her and her mother… but she’s just a naive 19-year-old. She walks off.

Shane McMahon says our main event is next. Briana Brandy goes to interview Dabba-Kato, but McMahon takes the microphone. Dabba-Kato says talk is cheap. Strowman will feel what he’s all about.
