Between a weak Ronda Rousey/Nia Jax segment and another disaster segment from Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley, this week’s RAW did nothing to sell the Money in the Bank PPV this weekend.
Matches:

Breezango: Tyler Breeze and Fandango vs. Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler: The DnD Train laid waste to Breeze with the Zig-Zag/Claymore combination.
Roman Reigns vs. Sunil Singh w/Jinder Mahal: Reigns naturally beat Singh with the Spear, but Mahal got the last laugh with the Khallas after the bell.

Bayley vs. Ruby Riott w/Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan: Thanks to interference from Morgan, Riott nailed Bayley with the Riott Kick for the win.
