The Big Takeaway
Sheamus pinned Drew McIntyre to win the gauntlet match after McIntyre had already wrestled AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. (Orton was counted out after one minute because he was distracted by Alexa Bliss’ face plastered on every screen in the Thunderdome.) As a result, Sheamus will enter last in Sunday’s chamber match.
Kofi Kingston is replacing The Miz in the chamber after Miz removed himself from the match. Miz tried to get John Morrison to replace him but Kingston beat Miz to secure his spot.
Keith Lee and Mustafa Ali (and Retribution) were not on the show. The announcers said Lee was injured by Bobby Lashley and his status was questionable.
The Big Takeaway
WWE followed consecutive bad Raw shows and an all-time bad rating with another poor show. Not only was it not an improvement in any way, but there was nothing new or different about it, besides the returning Charlotte Flair.
The main story of the show was Keith Lee and Sheamus not getting along, with Drew McIntyre trying to keep the peace. Lee got the pin in the main event but Sheamus laid him out with a Brogue Kick.
Bray Wyatt was not on the show but Alexa Bliss returned to issue a warning to Randy Orton.

Schreiber asks why Truth asked for this interview. Truth says that he told her his third middle name is dangerous. Truth talks about what’s been holding him back from being like his childhood hero, John Cena. That being, a legendary, contract signing.

Gulak says that he’s always looked up to Truth and that he would be honored to featured in the first ever WWE 24/7 contract signing. Gulak talks about already having had the contract drawn up and how they just need an official to come out and do this with some fan fare. Truth talks about how they need a bouncy castle and how they need a conference table.
