Nikki turned it around as she picked up the pace, but Stark countered her tornado DDT, but Stark pulled her off the top rope and hit a Z-360 for the win.
Becky’s back!
Trish Stratus came out and she asked the fans if anyone’s seen Becky Lynch, and she’s very worried and concerned because she’s missing.
She has all of her platforms on it, and when Lynch is found we can say “thank you, Trish.”

Trish said she won’t be coming back to Raw because it’s her show and her spotlight and no one is going to steal her spotlight.
Lynch’s music played and Trish acted surprised and then she burst out laughing and mocked the fans for being as gullible as Lynch was when she thought Trish was her friend.
She shared a story about how her daughter wanted to name her doll Becky Lynch and Lynch’s music played again and this time it was for real and she approached Trish from behind.
When Tris turned around, Lynch hit her with a right and then a couple of more before hitting a Beck-Sploder to send Trish up the ramp.

Dom pulled him into a corner and hammered him down, and then set him up for a 619, but Woods tripped him into ropes and hit a crossbody off the top ropes and then pummeled Dom in the corner.
Woods turned it around and hit a DDT for a near pinfall.
They traded elbows with Dom getting the better of it as he went for a pin attempt, but Dom took too long playing to the fans and Woods took out his foot to send him to the floor.
After hitting a missile dropkick into the ropes for a near pin, Woods went for a flying elbow but Dom rolled out of the way and rolled Woods up for the pin.
Backstage, Cody was asked how disappointed he is to be out of the running for the new title, and he said he doesn’t know. He doesn’t get to be the first champion on Raw in a tournament that was his to win.
He added that what he does know is this is the second time Lesnar attacked him for no reason, and the only reason he can think of is Lesnar’s losing his grip on the main event to Cody.
Cody then accepted his challenge for Night of Champions.
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi Final – Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins
They started off by exchanging holds early on with Rollins staying a step ahead early on and forced Balor to get to the ropes a pair of times to break holds.
A reverse elbow gave Balor an edge and he hit a dropkick and sent Rollins to the floor with a clothesline. Rollins then caught Balor on the floor with a sling blade.
Balor took advantage of Rollins getting into the ring and hit a buckle bomb into the barricade and asked Rollins how he likes it.

The pair traded chops in the middle of the ring, and Rollins hit a backbreaker despite an injured left arm.
After Balor countered a splash with his knees up, he locked in a Fujiwara arm bar on Rollins’ injured shoulder.
When Rollins wouldn’t submit, Balor hit a sling blade, but he ran into a superkick for a near pinfall.
After a back and forth, Rollins avoided a Coup de Grace and hit a one armed Pedigree, for a near pinfall.
Balor avoided a Stomp, so Rollins hit an inverted Stomp, then closed it out with an actual Stomp to advance to the finals.
This was a great match to close the night out and set up a finals match for the new World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions.
