Raw Talk

⁃ The show kicks off with footage from Raw, where Randy Orton hit an RKO on Bobby Lashley.
⁃ In the studio, Scott Stanford and Matt Camp cover the Raw Talk Headlines, until Scott pitches the show to Oklahoma City.

Nia Jax

Kevin Patrick is standing by in OKC with Nia Jax, who defeated Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. Kevin begins by asking Nia about the match, and Jax explains “I’m sick of this. I just beat splattered the Raw Women’s Champion, and I think that gives me a Raw Women’s Championship opportunity.” Kevin points out that Nia claimed she would win before the match, and she did just that. KP wants to know if Nia deserves a shot at the title, and Nia says “of course I deserve it. The fortune is, Nia Jax is a future Raw Women’s Champion.” Kevin follows up by asking Nia about her partnership with Shayna Baszler, and Jax tells viewers “look I don’t know what’s going on between us. All I know is right now I’m on a path, I know what I want, and I’m going for the gold.” Kevin pitches it back over to Scott and Matt, who sends the show to an ad break.

⁃ Scott mentions The Viking Raiders are up next, and the show heads to a break.

Viking Raiders

The Viking Raiders are backstage in Oklahoma City, where the former Raw Tag Team Champions defeated Jinder Mahal and Veer. Kevin begins by asking both men about their “statement victory,” and Erik tells Kevin “the entire WWE Universe learned that the raid is on!” Kevin changes his focus to the current Raw Tag Team Champions, and he wonders if The Viking Raiders have their sights set on tag team gold. Ivar explains “it’s been a hard year for us, but the raid is on. What do Vikings do? We take what’s ours! We are here to get paid, and if we have to take the titles from R-K-Bro, they are going to feel the raid!” Kevin thanks for stopping by, and throws the show over to Scott in the studio.

Sheamus

Coming off of the heels of his triple threat match against Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest, Sheamus joins the show, and he looks a sweaty mess. Kevin asks Sheamus for his thoughts on the multi-man bout, and “The Celtic Warrior” tells viewers “I put banger after banger on, they can’t get enough of me. I went out there tonight to get my title back from Damian, and look what happens... Drew screwed me over! Can I not get a bleeding break? Do I have to ask for a miracle?! The world is against me! I was first out tonight, because I’m ready for a fight. Damian if you’re seeing this, your time is coming! The Celtic Warrior is coming back after me bleeding gold.” The final interview comes to a close, and Kevin sends Raw Talk back to the studio for a few final thoughts from the host’s.

⁃ Matt and Scott put a bow on all on the action from Monday Night Raw, and Raw Talk fades to black.
