As the 24/7 Champion lamented his rival’s disappearance, Tozawa emerged from under a nearby table with a referee, to roll Truth up and capture the 24/7 Title. Tozawa’s reign was short-lived, as the ninja quickly pinned Tozawa, revealing himself as Drew Gulak.

Aalyah said that her encounter with Murphy last Monday was not welcomed and that she questioned why anyone would willingly associate themselves with Rollins.

However, Rollins had evidence that all was not as it seemed. The Monday Night Messiah revealed private DMs between Aalyah and his disciple, including Aalyah wishing Murphy a happy birthday. The daughter of Rey Mysterio then insisted that Murphy wasn’t like Rollins, to the dismay of her family, then stormed off. Meanwhile, a furious Murphy confronted The Monday Night Messiah, demanding to know why Rollins went through his phone. But before Murphy could get any answers, Dominik flew into the scene, attacking Murphy before being pulled off by WWE officials.

After the events of “The King’s Court,” Dominik Mysterio unleashed his rage on Murphy from the opening bell, not letting up on The Monday Night Messiah’s disciple. Mysterio went under the ring to grab a Kendo stick, which brought his sister, Aalyah, to ringside. She begged Dominik not to batter Murphy with it, insisting that he wasn’t like Seth Rollins. The distraction gave Murphy the opening to roll up Dominik for the three-count and escape before he could take too many Kendo stick lashes.

A furious Dominik confronted his sister, saying that he’s only trying to protect his family and its legacy. When Aalyah refused to relent in her defense of Murphy, Dominik seemingly agreed with his father, telling his sister to her face that she’s naïve.

Any counter The Hurt Business had in mind went out the window when the lights in the WWE ThunderDome began to flicker, seemingly signaling the arrival of RETRIBUTION.

However, the rebels did not arrive, but the distraction may have thrown MVP, Lashley and Shelton Benjamin off their game, as Mustafa Ali crushed MVP with a 450 Splash to get the win for his team.

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre def. Robert Roode

But Ziggler was only here to herald the arrival of Robert Roode, who was making his first appearance on the red brand since being traded to Raw in June alongside The Showoff in exchange for AJ Styles.

The Glorious One, a former NXT, United States and Raw Tag Team Champion, was ready as ever for his first crack at the WWE Championship. Roode brought the fight to McIntyre, grounding the WWE Champion with an agonizing Figure-Four Leglock that hobbled the titleholder and nearly captured the championship with the Glorious DDT, but there was no keeping McIntyre down. The WWE Champion fought through the pain and connected with a huge Claymore to retain his title.
