Monday Night Raw: 8 pm EST

Show opens up and Vince McMahon shows up at the arena and he walks through the parking garage. The scene transitions to the main set and Braun Strowman’s music hits and The Monster makes his way down to the ring. The crowd chants “Get these hands!” Strowman starts cutting a promo on Brock Lesnar and says Lesnar has always been afraid of him. Strowman says he’s all healed up and at Royal Rumble he’ll be getting the Universal Championship, while Lesnar will simply “Get these hands.”

Then Baron Corbin comes out and tells everyone they’re going to have to listen to what he has to say. Corbin says the fans believe in Strowman but he just keeps letting them down. Strowman can’t beat Lesnar, says Corbin, so Strowman should just admit it. Strowman ends up hopping out of the ring and taking chase after a fleeing Corbin. Strowman yells at people and attacks people backstage in his search for Corbin.

As Strowman continues his search, Elias is shown backstage and the camera remains on him as he plays a song. Strowman appears beside him and Elias tells him, via song, that Corbin is in a limo and he points it out. Strowman storms over to it and assaults the driver and grabs a steel pipe and starts smashing the windows of the limo. Corbin starts fleeing again, and suddenly Vince McMahon appears and seems upset that Strowman just destroyed his ride. Commercial break.
