“Then. Now. Forever. Together.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
Parking Garage Segment
Royce Keys and OTM viciously assault The Usos as they drive into the arena. Jey Uso is busted open during this, but because it was taped days ago, the footage gets choppy and pixelated so you can’t see any blood. They slam Jimmy onto the windshield of the car, but for whatever reason, Netflix blurred that out, too. Jacob Fatu emerges from backstage, so Keys and OTM jump in an SUV and drive off.
Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett welcome us to the show and talk about the chaos we just saw.
We go back to the parking garage to find Fatu furious, shoving people. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce gets him out of there. Jey Uso’s face is completely pixelated. Fatu’s microphone is cut off, and he storms off through the crowd.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Sol Ruca vs. Raquel Rodriguez (c)
Referee: Jessika Carr
Before the match begins, Jacob Fatu comes through the crowd and stands on the commentary table. Fatu is furious and says that Royce Keys and his partners hurt his cousins, so he’ll line them up and run through those “mother f—ers.” That is bleeped, and his mouth is pixelated.
Sol Ruca gets the better of Rodriguez early on, doing a handstand walk into a head-scissor takeover to get her out of the ring. Ruca then hits her with a cartwheel Fosbury Flop. Ruca gets Rodriguez in the ring and goes for a springboard, but Rodriguez shoulder tackles her. Ruca soon fights back with a springboard crossbody block for a two-count.

-Break-
WWE Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable is in the ring and says he loves the energy, but no one in the crowd seems energized. There seems to be a lot of crowd sweetening going on. Gable talks about starting his legacy when he beat the greatest luchador of all time, Rey Mysterio. Gable wants to thank Mexico for all he learned in AAA, so he’ll defend the title in Mexico City when Raw takes place there. Gable will face Dragon Lee.
Dragon Lee comes out, but “All Ego” Ethan Page soon interrupts. Page says Lee is an undeserving luchador and that he’d be a real challenge for Gable. Lee challenges Page to a match. Gable likes this idea and says the winner will face him for the Intercontinental Championship in Mexico City.

WWE Crown Jewel returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 7.
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is in the ring after an extended entrance. Reigns says, “Cleveland, Ohio… acknowledge me!” Being the one true champion, the only champion that matters, being the Tribal Chief is a burden. Everyone wants what he has. Reigns should be celebrating the Championship Tournament, talking about Rey Fenix and Penta. They’re earning respect, unlike everybody else around here who just bitches, moans, and complains for a shot at the title. Solo Sikoa had an opportunity to show respect to Reigns and serve the family, but he blew it for LA Knight. LA Knight may remind Sikoa of The Rock, but Knight isn’t Sikoa’s family.
LA Knight interrupts and walks out onto the stage. Reigns sneers at him. Knight thought Reigns was better than recycling material from three years ago. Knight has watched Reigns do the wrong thing for months. Knight has been calling his name for months, but Reigns put his family and tournaments he can’t enter between them. OTC must stand for “One Tremendous Coward.” Knight says Reigns is scared of him after Knight dropped him on his head.
We go backstage to see a pixelated video of Solo Sikoa bleeding from the head after an attack. Knight runs to the back to check on him. Jacob Fatu appears and argues with him. Reigns then hits Knight with a Superman Punch from out of nowhere. Reigns says he handled Knight, so Fatu has to handle Royce Keys.

Cathy Kelley asks Paul Heyman for a prediction or spoiler for Sunday. Heyman says he can do neither. Each man must win this match, and neither can afford to lose. What happens to the loser?
