WWE RAW | June 5th, 2017
Show Opener
The show begins with General Manager Mick Foley (he was re-hired or some shit, idk, it's fantasy booking) coming out to welcome the audience and, more importantly, announce tonight's main event. He talks about the heights WWE's women have reached over the past year and says they're going to continue going further and further. Tonight's main event will decide the number one contender for the RAW Women's Championship at next month's Battleground, because Great Balls of Fire doesn't exist, what are you talking about? It will be a four-woman elimination match, featuring Natalya, Mary Dobson, Sasha Banks and the newly returned AJ Lee. He tells the audience to have a nice day, bang bang, all that shit.

Backstage Segment
Owens is backstage with whatever hot piece of ass is doing the interviews in WWE nowadays. He hypes himself up and says RAW is the Kevin Owens show again, now that he's back on it. He talks some trash about Finn Balor and continues to put himself over, going as far as to call himself the best that WWE has to offer. After he says that, though, CM Punk steps into the shot, nonchalantly chewing gum. He looks at Owens, smirks and then walks off. Kevin, seemingly aggravated by the silent interruption, leaves as well.

In-Ring Segment
Rusev and Lana come out to the ring, where Lana gets some cheap heat by insulting Americans and putting over Russia and all that jazz. Eventually, she hands Rusev the mic and he yells about how he demanded a title shot at Money in the Bank and he was instead given back to RAW. He claims he'll prove SmackDown wrong by issuing an open challenge tonight and crushing his opponent. The challenge is accepted by Rhyno.

Backstage Segment
Hot piece of ass interviewer returns to interview hot piece of ass wrestler. She asks Alexa Bliss what she thinks about tonight's number one contenders match and if she has an opinion on who she'd like to see win. Alexa gives the usual heel speech of not caring who wins because they won't beat her, anyway, but if she had to choose, she'd love to beat this 'AJ Lee' woman everyone's been talking about.

In-Ring Segment
The audience is surprised with a sudden John Cena segment, after he and Nikki had taken some time off. Also, he's on RAW again, but shhh. He comes out and cuts his usual shtick. He's back and ready to be able to say again that the champ is here, so, you know, he wants that Universal title. Where's the champ, anyway? Cena's interrupted by another surprise for the fans; Chris Jericho. Jericho, making his return after being put out of action by Kevin Owens, comes to the ring and exchanges pleasantries with Cena, talking about how they've known each other for a while now and throwing some playful jabs at him. However, as soon as Cena begins to speak again, to continue the fun banter, Jericho springs forward and drops him with a Codebreaker, turning heel but the crowd cheers anyway because people love heel turns. He calls Cena a stupid idiot and says even his list is more deserving of a title shot than John.

Singles Match
Kevin Owens def. Finn Balor (15:24)
The two put on a strong showing with both looking great. The finish comes with Finn dodging a Cannonball Senton from Owens and quickly going to the top rope to attempt a Coup de Grâce, but the Bray Wyatt cut out suddenly happens. You may be asking yourself "Didn't this actually just happen in real WWE?" Yes, yes it did. But, you see, the thing is, I forgot, so shut up. The lights go out for a bit and another Bray cut out happens. When it returns, Bray is nowhere to be seen, but Finn is suddenly out cold in the ring, as Owens begins to get up and looks at him in confusion. Nevertheless, he seizes the opportunity and picks Finn up to hit him with a Pop-Up Powerbomb for the win. Owens celebrates the victory.

Backstage Segment
Hot piece of ass interviewer returns to interview ANOTHER hot piece of ass wrestler, this one being Naomi. She asks Naomi her opinion on being left out of the number one contender's match. Naomi says it's disappointing, especially after her title run on SmackDown, but she's just gonna have to work to get to the top again. She gets interrupted by one of the competitors in the number one contender's match, Mary Dobson, who tells her she shouldn't be too concerned with the RAW Women's Championship, since it'll belong to herself soon. She takes a shot at Naomi being on Total Divas and claiming that's the only reason she's ever gotten any recognition, while saying it's sad how she was on that show since the beginning, but even the Bellas got popular before her. Finally, Mary tells her to sit back and watch her win the main event, before walking off, leaving Naomi to aggravatedly shake her head.

Fourway Elimination Match | RAW Women's Championship #1 Contendership
AJ Lee def. Sasha Banks, Mary Dobson & Natalya
All four go all-out to try to take the biggest advantage of this main event opportunity. Natalya is the first to be eliminated, tapping out to Sasha's Bank Statement at 8:16. Coming down to Mary, AJ and Sasha, Mary begins to dominate, but just as she's getting ready to eliminate AJ, Naomi runs down the ramp and shouts out to her, distracting her. This allows AJ to run up to her from behind and transition into the Black Widow, causing Mary to submit at 11:51. Naomi smiles at getting Mary eliminated and heads to the back, while Mary rolls out of the ring and throws a fit of rage, before being escorted to the back by staff. With AJ and Sasha as the final two, they have a very close finale in this match, with numerous false finishes. The end comes when Sasha goes for the Bank Statement, but AJ holds onto the top rope, causing Sasha to fall without her. She rolls backwards following the awkward landing and begins to get up, but AJ takes this opportunity to land a Shining Wizard and get the pin. AJ celebrates post-match, but she's interrupted by Alexa Bliss, who walks onto the stage to get a good view of her soon-to-be challenger. The two stare down from the distance as Alexa raises her title and the show ends.
