AJ Styles took on Matt Riddle earlier in the night and came out on top. Orton later faced Omos and won by DQ due to an attack from Styles. Styles and Omos then double teamed Orton who was saved by Riddle. The Viper declared that Riddle had earned his respect.
Riddle then announced his intentions to challenge AJ and Omos at SummerSlam, and the match was later confirmed by the RAW announcers.
The WWE also confirmed a match between Eva Marie and Alexa Bliss. The two have been feuding for quite some time now. Eva Marie, tired of Bliss’ shenanigans, vowed to take care of Bliss at SummerSlam. Bliss herself, promised to put an end to the Eva-Lution at the pay-per-view.
There was also a development in the SummerSlam match between Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre. McIntyre faced Veer and Shanky in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match tonight. If McIntyre lost, he would have been banned from bringing his sword, Angela, to the ring at SummerSlam.
Conversely, if Veer and Shanky lost they would have been banned from ringside for Mahal.
Fortunately for the Scottish Warrior, he came out on top to gain the advantage heading into his match with his former friend.
