– As seen on RAW, Stephanie McMahon sent Kurt Angle on vacation after Ronda Rousey, once again, put Stephanie in an armbar in the middle of the ring.
During a backstage segment, Corbin and Stephanie effectively blamed Angle for what happened in addition to leaving RAW in ‘chaos’, and Stephanie said he needed a break. Angle said he didn’t need time off, but Stephanie said it was for the best and he wasn’t being fired, and named Corbin the acting general manager until further notice.

– During the main event of this week’s Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns and Finn Balor battled it out for the Universal Championship. As the match ended with Roman Reigns picking up the win, Braun Strowman came out to the ring and attacked Reigns, then gave the referee his MITB briefcase to cash in his contract. The announcement was made and the match was just about to start but the Shield’s music hit and out came Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, donning the Shield attire, to help Roman Reigns out.
Ambrose and Rollins helped Roman out of the ring. The trio then attacked Braun Strowman and manage to put him through the announce table with the triple powerbomb.
