Sami Zayn appears in the ring to 'expose' Bobby Lashley who was, according to him, was a bully and a brat as a kid and he invites Lashley's three sisters to prove the point. Clearly, Sami brought in some male actors to play the sisters and they talk about how Bobby bullied them as a kid and that their mom and dad hated Bobby and sent him off to reform school, the place 'where the bad kids go'.

Reigns and Rollins were on the stage after the match when Jinder attacked them with a steel chair and the officials have to come to the rescue. Too bad Ambrose is out due to injuries, this would have been the perfect return opportunity for him.

Reigns brings up te topic of Brock Lesnar and asks Stephanie to'cut the corporate crap'. Stephanie reminds him that he lost his title match and that the should take it up with Jinder Mahal who caused the loss.

Stephanie says she's a businesswoman and she'll do whatever is good for business, speaking about tapping out to Ronda's submission move on the RAW after WrestleMania. She doesn't trust Angle with the contract signings for the MITB matches and is there to oversee all of it.
Will Bobby Lashley's sisters have more charisma than him? It's more than fair to say Bobby Lashley's current WWE run has not gone off to a good start. Apart from diminishing crowd reactions, Lashley's lack of any kind of charisma could be a worry for someone WWE clearly has big plans for.
Lashley is a powerhouse inside the ring and is much improved since his last WWE run but segments like the backstage interview with Renee Young won't help him get over.This week, Sami Zayn has invited Lashley's sisters to RAW and has promised to expose the real Bobby Lashley.
This segment will either be gold or a total trainwreck in my opinion. The big question going in is whether Bobby Lashley's sisters will have more charisma than him?
What's next for Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey? WWE decided to announce Ronda Rousey's first WWE match at NBC Upfronts with basically no build other than Jax responding to Rousey's "Wooo" by challenging her to a title match.
What happened at NBC Upfronts was amicable enough but with Charlotte not there to mediate, what's the next step in this feud? Will Nia Jax be turning heel before MITB, because Rousey definitely can't be the heel?
Who will earn a spot in the women's Money In The Bank ladder match? Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon have already booked their places in the women's Money In The Bank ladder match from the RAW brand. There are two more spots available and we could find out at least one more participant tonight.
Will Jinder get his revenge or will it be another beatdown at the hands of the Big Dog? Jinder Mahal was on the end of a brutal beating at the hands of Roman Reigns last week, with Roman getting his revenge on Mahal after being cost a place in the men's Money In The Bank ladder match.Who will come out on top this week - the big dog or the beaten down former WWE Champion?
Who will answer Seth's open challenge this week? Could it be Jason Jordan?Seth Rollins has already defended the Intercontinental Championship, two weeks in a row on RAW against Mojo Rawley and Kevin Owens. This week, Seth defends the title again in his weekly open challenge. Who will answer it this week?
Could it be Rollins' former partner Jason Jordan? It's not clear if Jordan has been cleared to return yet but he should be back to fitness soon.
