Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring. McIntyre says he’s been trying to find the words to talk about losing his WWE Championship, but there’s no excuses. McIntyre has one promise: he will be WWE Champion again. McIntyre quotes from the movie “Rocky” about getting up when you get knocked down. Why is he in a good mood and sharing inspirational quotes? If you could read his mind, it’s very different.

The Miz’ music hits, and McIntyre says he has messed up. The new Mr. Money in the Bank holder The Miz comes out with John Morrison. McIntyre threatens them both. They put over McIntyre’s impressive run with the title. Miz talks about how this is good for McIntyre that he’s holding the title. When he goes for the title again, he’ll be facing The Miz for the title. Morrison mentions that Miz cashed in Money in the Bank for the first time on Randy Orton in Orlando. The Miz mentions “Angry Miz Girl” was really angry.

Eventually McIntyre hears enough and gives Miz a Glasgow Kiss. Morrison tries to get along with McIntyre, but he’s punched down. McIntyre throws Morrison around the ring. McIntyre goes for a Future Shock DDT on Morrison, but Miz chop blocks McIntyre’s knee. McIntyre’s knee was injured last night at Hell in a Cell. Miz and Morrison escape up the ramp. McIntyre stomps on Morrison’s sunglasses and says he has an idea that he’ll run by management. It’s going to be a bad night for Miz and Morrison.

Keith Lee will face Elias in a Survivor Series Qualifying Match. Matt Riddle will also face Sheamus, while Jeff Hardy will face AJ Styles in qualifying matches.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring with Jordan Omogbehin. They don’t mention Omogbehin’s name tonight. Styles will face Jeff Hardy, next.

AJ Styles is in the ring with the former security guard for Raw Underground. Styles is confused as to why he has to be in a Survivor Series Qualifying Match. Who does he have to impress? Adam Pearce or the clowns in the back? Not only should he automatically be on Team Raw, he should be the captain because he is the face that runs the place. Maybe they have noticed his associate’s face. His associate doesn’t like to be noticed or looked at or talked to. That is a warning.

Maybe they should just talk about his Qualifying Match against Jeff Hardy or, as he likes to call him, the biggest cheater in WWE history. This past summer, Hardy used an illegal knee brace to win the Intercontinental Championship from him. The joke is on Hardy. If Hardy tries what he did to Elias on him tonight, his associate will make him wish he never put down that bottle.

MVP says when RETRIBUTION came to WWE, everyone ran from them except the Hurt Business. Bobby Lashley says they didn’t look at RETRIBUTION as a threat; they were an opportunity. Monday Night Raw is an asset of their business. RETRIBUTION is a liability. MVP says they aren’t doing this for free. They told the higher-ups they would take care of RETRIBUTION.
