With redemption in the balance, Kurt Angle didn’t win the main-event match on Raw in which he teamed with Braun Strowman to take on Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin. But he did get a "moment of glory," giving a turn-back-the-clock performance that The Monster Among Men helped facilitate as if they’d been teaming for 20 years: Strowman bailed Angle out when necessary and softened their foes up for the final sprint, dropping Corbin and McIntyre with a double suplex before tagging in the Olympian.

Unfortunately, their opponents executed their game plan to near-perfection, mounting a match-long effort to bait Strowman into disqualifying himself that finally bore fruit when The Gift of Destruction hauled off and slugged Corbin while Angle was the legal man. Despite suffering a Claymore that knocked him into the audience, Strowman came through one more time to save Angle from being slammed onto the steel steps by The Scottish Terminator and The Lone Wolf. Arriving with seconds to spare, The Monster Among Men planted McIntyre and Corbin on top of the steps one after the other and raised the Olympian’s hand as the show went off the air. It wasn’t a victory, per se. But it sure was sweet.
