When Bálor joined the group, he reached down and tried to help Priest up. The more he helped Priest up, the more Priest tried to hold him down. Priest held Bálor down, his friend and brother. Bálor says he was the guy who had Priest’s back and made sure he stayed champion. Bálor says he should have been World Heavyweight Champion a long time ago, but Priest was lurking behind his back with the Money in the Bank briefcase every chance he could. Every time Bálor got close to the title, Priest screwed him. Bálor calls Priest out because he has some things he wants to say to his face.

Damian Priest charges down to the ring and looks furious. Priest says ever since Bálor broke up the real Judgment Day, he’s tried to get his hands on him, but Bálor has run.

Backstage: Braun Strowman, Bron Breakker

Jackie Redmond is backstage with Braun Strowman. She asks him about the injuries he suffered at the hands of “Big” Bronson Reed. Strowman says he is hurting, but he had to step up to him. The match he had last week on Raw didn’t help his injuries. Strowman won’t use that as an excuse. Nothing can keep the monster down. He may be wounded, but a wounded monster is even more dangerous.

WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker walks up to Strowman. Breakker says he came to see if Strowman was a monster, and he is. Breakker is here to prove to the world that you don’t need to be enormous to be a monster. Strowman is still standing here because he’s never been in the ring with him. Strowman says if that’s what he thinks, he doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Breakker says he hopes he wins and will see him around.

Rey Mysterio says Lee will take care of business. The Judgment Day walks up. Bálor warns if they get in the way, they’ll take them out like Priest and Ripley. Mysterio says the only thing he saw was a bunch of wannabe thugs that run from a real fight. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio calls Rey a deadbeat. Rey tells Bálor to stop hiding behind his “stupido” son and fight him. Bálor accepts.

In-Ring: Bret Hart, Gunther, Sami Zayn

Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are in the ring. Tessitore welcomes back two-time WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

Bret “The Hitman” Hart comes out to a HUGE ovation from the Calgary crowd! Hart has reportedly been under the weather all day and looks a little haggard and weak. The crowd doesn’t care and loudly cheers him on. Tessitore says Hart is back, and the crowd gives Hart another ovation. A “Bret” chant fires up. Tessitore says they have an announcement with Hart because something special is happening in Calgary. Tessitore says that when WWE comes back to WWE at the end of November, it will be the Survivor Series in Vancouver. Tickets will be on sale on Friday.

Wade Barrett asks Hart how good it feels to be back home on Monday Night Raw in the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Hart says this is the place to be. No one took more pride than Hart did in being a champion. Hart puts over being a Canadian champion. Canadian champions will take on anybody and never duck a challenge. They have to prove themselves like he did every night for twenty years. Hart says he is the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be.

World Heavyweight Champion Gunther heads to the ring. Gunther gets loudly booed. The crowd chants, “You suck.” Gunther says it is a time to be alive. Gunther says he is about to pull the heart out of one of his childhood heroes. Hart smirks. The crowd is viciously booing Gunther. Gunther says Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Gunther says this is a passing of the torch moment. Hart is the best there was, but he’s looking at the best there is and the best there ever will be. Gunther wants to express something from the bottom of his heart. Like “Stu” (Wade Barrett) said before, all the boys in the back watched him growing up. Hart has been a hero for him. Gunther says Hart will always be a close second to his actual favorite. Gunther’s all-time favorite is none other than Bill Goldberg! Hart scoffs.

Sami Zayn’s music hits, and he comes out in a Calgary Flames jersey to a MASSIVE ovation! A “Sami” chant fires up as he gets in the ring. Zayn says Gunther has a lot of nerve standing in this ring in this city and talking to this man the way he just did. Gunther thinks this is a joke, but it’s not a joke. Bret Hart is a Canadian hero. In case he can’t tell, Hart is a hero to every person in this city. He’s a hero to an entire generation of wrestlers in the back who still study Hart’s matches to this day. More importantly, Hart is a hero to Zayn. Gunther may have the championship around his waist, but Bret Hart set the tone for what it means to be a champion. What does Gunther do? Zayn challenged him to a match, and Gunther put his tail between his legs and ran. If Gunther wants to say he’s the best there is, then he can prove it. Zayn challenges Gunther to a World Heavyweight Championship match. The crowd loudly cheers. Gunther thinks about it and smiles. Gunther says with all due respect to Hart, he’s not in his league. As for Zayn, as much as he wants to be, he is not in a league with Hart. What does that mean? Gunther’s answer remains no. Gunther drops the microphone and walks off.

Zayn goes to ringside and goes face-to-face with Gunther. Zayn blocks a right hand and punches away at the World Heavyweight Champion.

Backstage: Pete Dunne, Bron Breakker

WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker walks up to Pete Dunne. Breakker didn’t know what to think of Dunne when he was with Sheamus. Breakker asks what he used to call himself, but Dunne tells him not to call him that name. Breakker says, “Ok, Pete.” Dunne says he’s going to win tonight, beat Trick Williams tomorrow to get closer to the NXT Title, and then he’ll take Breakker out to win the Intercontinental Title. He’ll be a double champion. Breakker says it will be a mistake for Dunne to think he can beat him. Dunne will be left dumbfounded. Breakker sneers and wishes him luck before walking away.

McIntyre joins in with them. McIntyre says whenever that name is chanted, it’s simply in memory of him. McIntyre asks if they saw what happened last week. The violence was poetic. Did they hear what Punk had to say? Punk said he was done with Drew McIntyre after beating him in a Strap Match and is now going after Gunther. Punk screwed McIntyre out of the World Title three times this year. McIntyre pinned him at SummerSlam. Just because he’s the best at touching four corners in a row, he thinks he’s done with him. McIntyre says, “I don’t think so, ya arrogant prick.”

McIntyre says he’s been talking about Punk since January, making him a bigger star. McIntyre can live with that fact because he ended Punk’s career. Now, it’s time to look to the future. McIntyre wants the World Title he was screwed out of. His first Hollywood movie with Dave Batista also comes out on Friday, “The Killer’s Game” with Dave Batista.

Things are almost perfect, but there’s one loose end he has to cover. McIntyre is afraid he has some bad news. It involved Wade Barrett. Barrett looks surprised. McIntyre says he doesn’t have many friends in this world. They have been friends for decades. They came to the United States together and have been arrested together. Barrett made the case on behalf of McIntyre as Michael Cole lied to the world. Why did Barrett step in his way when it came time to end him? McIntyre says he’s not angry with Barrett. He’s just disappointed. McIntyre gets out of the ring and approaches Barrett. McIntyre warns if Barrett does it again, he won’t be disappointed. He’ll be angry and will do something about it. Barrett removes his headset and stands up.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce comes out to the stage. Pearce asks McIntyre if he’s lost it so badly. It’s not about CM Punk anymore. He wants to fight his friends. Pearce tells McIntyre to get in the ring because he has some information he needs to hear. McIntyre says he was talking to his friend man-to-man. Pearce isn’t his friend. He’s a corporate suit, the kind Punk kisses the ass of. Pearce says he spoke to CM Punk earlier today. As much as McIntyre thinks he ended Punk, Punk is not done. Punk is not done with McIntyre. McIntyre chuckles. Another “CM Punk” chant picks up. McIntyre says he doesn’t believe Pearce. There is no way Punk wants a piece of him after last week. McIntyre asks who in the crowd wants to see that match one more time. The crowd cheers. McIntyre says Pearce is signing Punk’s death certificate.

Pearce says the fight has to end. Pearce and Punk thought it was over, but McIntyre did that attack. It will be CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood one more time. It will be over, and Pearce will find peace. Pearce says it will be Hell in a Cell! The crowd cheers, and Pearce walks off. McIntyre intensely looks at him and thinks about what he just got himself into.

Rhea Ripley will never touch Dominik Mysterio or her title again. JD McDonagh says they haven’t forgotten about the New Day. Their time is over. The Tag Team Division belongs to the Judgment Day.
