Monday Night Raw
Ford Idaho Center
Nampa, Idaho
1st Hour of Raw

The Raw before Summerslam is crucial as feuds have begun with ill will and feelings festering between duos. The Bellas, despite their "triumphant" return to in-ring action after being inducted as Hall of Famers, had their hopes of having a Women's Tag Team Championship reign squashed at the hands of the Riott Squad, specifically, Liv Morgan. 

On the Raw Tag Team Championship side, the Hurt Business Tag Team Unit of Don Patricio and Cedric Alexander have not been on good terms but are on a collision course to their second title defense against the Street Profits. Psywar and ego have become obstacles for Don and Cedric to possibly retain their titles despite MVP keeping both of them in check. 

Raw now proceeds to the middle of the first hour with the Bella Twins already in the ring as they are not exactly in the most cheerful of moods. Nikki begins to speak on their behalf.

Nikki: You all saw the injustice from last week? It's all because someone is petty over stuff from the past. I mean let's face it, she was first of all, disrespectful, rude, why her man dumped her because she was flat out too hard to bear. Don't you all agree?

The crowd was a mix of cheers and boos, mostly boos after they knew that Nikki was taking shots at Liv.

Brie: But you all have to admit, at least she is wiley, but she is not wise to realize that she is not dealing with just any women, but the Bella Twins. The Hall of Famers, the ORIGINAL Women's Tag Team. 

Nikki: Innovators of Twin Magic. Point is this, we were around before Women's Tag Team Championship belts were a thing. Now that we're on the same timeline with those titles, I think and we can make the case that we are in the running for those tag titles so we can at least make those titles matter as a LEGITIMATE Tag Team and Hall of Famers.

Liv comes out with Ruby joining by the side. 

Liv: Well look who it is doing their usual rant session to try to play victim to the WWE Universe. You two said it yourself, you're Hall of Famers. But you two walk and in and bitch as if we're still in 2013-2014, which by the way, is years past from today. Nothing short of pathetic girls

Nikki: Nothing short of pathetic? Hey, we're happily spoken for. We're hall of famers but you bringing it up makes you more pathetic because we're everything you're not. In fact, from the four of us, you're the only one who has yet to hold gold. Ruby for sure has before being mired into the garbage of a trio or now a tag team that left her wallowing in the mud dragging your dead ass weight.

Brie: In fact, at least we didn't whore-out before getting here.

The crowd gasped and Oh-ed the Bellas with their below the belt shot as Ruby is restraining Liv.

Nikki: Ruby, good job at restraining that little bitch chihuahua of a tag team partner you got there. At least your sensibilities are in the right place!

Liv: Don't you date speak for her or me!

Ruby grabs the mic with annoyance on her face as the Bellas feel Ruby will set Liv in her place.

Ruby: I've had it with you Liv. You have been riding on the Riott name more than myself so when I say knock it off. Knock it off! *at Liv*

Liv was shocked along with the crowd as the Bellas were applauding at Ruby's stern warning to her tag partner. Ruby then faces the Bellas.

Ruby: And don't think I haven't forgotten about you two. You two think this is just a handicap between Liv and the both of you talentless hags? 

Bellas; Hags?

Ruby: I said what I said. You two only gained fame and Hall of Fame spots because of who you know and slept with. Your annoying reality show

Brie: Which you two were on so don't you dare be ungrateful for the seconds of fame we at least gave the both of you.

Ruby: To get a rise out of all of us and paint yourselves as some big thing when your TV fame compensates for the fact, Nikki there has been a Woman's champion and Brie is nothing more than Nikki's bitch.

The crowd gasps and begins a Nikki's Bitch chant at Brie. Ruby then sees Liv smirk as the leader of the Riott Squad begins to talk.

Ruby: Liv, let's cause a Riot on these two.

Liv nods and agrees as the Riotts begin to walk into the ring as the Bellas begin to walk into the crowd, fearing for their safety.

Brie: You know Nikki, I think we got them. But they're not getting us

Nikki: Yeah, not until Sunday at Summerslam. There, you two get your chance at us but don't think you're winning ladies. We'll still walk out victorious just as we have always been. 

Brie: So ladies, you can only look, but can't touch until Sunday.

Joe: Oh it's official now. We get Bella Twins versus Riott Squad at Summerslam

Byron: Hopefully this brings an end to the personal attacks.

Backstage
Start of the 2nd Hour of Raw
The Hurt Business, specifically Don, Cedric and MVP, were together as MVP tries to broker a means to ensure that both his so-called tiger cubs can coexist before Sunday.

MVP: You two had better cool it. Can you two at least work together tonight to show these people, especially the Profits that the both of you can work cohesively?

Cedric: I can. In fact, go tell that so-called protege of yours to know his place.

Don: *offended* You clearly have it all wrong. I can pull my own weight. I've proven myself

Cedric: Not enough to have me believe you got this. You left me high and dry in the assault...

Don: You left me when the Profits returned! I was at the end of the...

Cedric: Well you're bigger than me, unless all that muscle is just sh...

MVP: *angry* ENOUGH! You two head out there and bash Hawkins and Ryder's heads in to prove to these people that you are not gonna let the Street Profits or ANYONE try to get one over the Hurt Business. Am I making myself clear?

Cedric: Crystal, unless Donny Dumbass here needs Mentor to regurgitate your words to make him unders....

Don walks out with his belt

Cedric: See? He's nothing but a loose cannon bastard!

MVP: *pokes angrily at Cedric* You better watch yourself. Lashley isn't exactly in the best of moods after Shelton flopped against McIntyre. Don't add any more to the problems we're facing.

2nd Hour of Raw
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder v. Don Patricio and Cedric Alexander (c)
Non Title Match

Mike Rome: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Making their way....

Before Ryder and Hawkins make their way to the ring, Don sneaks them from behind, striking both competitors on the back of the head with his Raw Tag Team Title. Don began assaulting Hawkins, before hitting a Drop Toe Facecrusher on the Ramp.

Not satisfied, Ryder strikes back as the referee warns Don to step away from Ryder and Hawkins. Cedric comes out and begins to stomp on Hawkins for a bit while Don and Ryder head to the ring for the referee to begin the match. 

Match Start
Ryder was a bit banged up after that sneak attack as Don hits a Drop Toe Facecrusher on Ryder. While this was going on, Hawkins takes a Lumbar Check outside their corner courtesy of Cedric.

Don then tags in Cedric as Cedric hits the Neuralyzer on Ryder before Don hits the Silencer. As Ryder goes down bends back, Cedric catches him for a Lumbar Check and pins Ryder for the win.

The Tag Team Champions had their arms raised but Hawkins goes near his knocked down tag team partner. Cedric shouts at Don that he didn't finish the job. In response, Don hits the Right Hook on Hawkins while he was bent down. Cedric saw the ferocity of Don as he begins to nod in agreement to the brutality that had befallen Hawkins and Ryder. 

But before they can go any further, Dawkins and Ford emerge from the crowd and assault both Patricio and Alexander respectively. Don and Angelo began exchanging fist shots while Montez has Cedric in a Thesz Press, with Cedric shifting weight to gain advantage. The referees entered into the scene to de-escalate the ensuing chaos, which will be the prelude for the Summerslam match for the Raw Tag Team Titles.

As the referees were able to separate the Hurt Business's Tag Team Contingent from the Street Profits, Montez had a crazy idea and went to the top rope to hit a From The Heavens Splash on Don and the rest of the security detail to take them down. The segment ends with the Street Profits on top and the champions in retreat with the referees and arena security keeping them back.

Liv: Donny, please get out here

Don emerges from the bathroom to kiss his girlfriend on the forehead and lips as he lays beside her.

Don: Guess it will be quite the wild weekend for us

Liv: Donny, be careful out there. Pweeze? 

Liv begs with her eyes as Don hugs her

Don: We won't go too wild for the match but same goes for you. This Bellas feud seems to ahve taken for the personal

Liv: I feel I know who greenlighted the low blows

Don: Then beat them to show that Balyena who's boss

Liv: Alright Donny *smiles* Night Night Huggies?

Don lets Liv wrap herself on him as both slept in each other's arms.
