WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle made a heroic return to Raw in his hometown of Pittsburgh. When he refused to accept a special one-night offer to join The Alpha Academy, however, Chad Gable and Otis took exception. Before the confrontation became volatile, though, The Street Profits emerged to stand with The Olympic Gold Metallist. Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford proposed a tag team match with their adversaries.

In the aftermath, Kurt treated the victorious tandem to a refreshing serving of milk.
