How will WWE top last’s week Raw that ended with the entire ring imploding? Two words: Dumpster Match.
Kalisto is looking for revenge against “The Mountain of Men” Braun Strowman, who dragged the luchador through the arena and tossed him into a dumpster like a piece of trash. On Saturday, Kalisto took to Twitter and showed an almost unprecedented amount of courage, challenging Braun to a dumpster match. Raw General Manager Kurt Angle agreed with the masked luchador’s demands, and the match is officially on for tonight!
Plus, who can forget the red hot Alexa Bliss? She’s skilled enough to overcome three of Monday Night Raw’s elite female stars in the forms of Nia Jax, Mickie James, and Sasha Banks. But does Bliss have what it takes to dethrone Raw Women’s Champion Bayley?
You can see Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley this Sunday at WWE Payback. But you won’t have to wait until then to see the best pro wrestling stars in the world today compete under the stinging limelight and the thunderous roar from thousands of screaming fans.
Alexa Bliss may just be the hottest acquisition of the whole WWE Superstar Shake-up. You

Highlight Reel turns into MizTV and then turns into Ambrose Asylum
Jericho says that this will be the last Highlight Reel on Monday Night Raw because he’s going to beat KO this Sunday for the WWE United States Championship (exclusive to SmackDown Live). If Jericho wins on Sunday, he’ll be traded over to the blue brand. Y2J says he has the best guest for tonight’s show…himself.
Out comes The Miz & Maryse. The It Couple totally took over the Highlight Reel. Out with the old and in with the new. Out comes the crew to roll out the carpet and set up MizTV.
Miz runs his mouth some more. Out comes Dean Ambrose. He tells Jericho that he’s right: Miz is a stupid idiot. Y2J wasn’t saying it, but was thinking it. The set-up crew come out again and now we’re doing the Ambrose Asylum segment and The Miz and Jericho are his guests.
Ambrose gives Jericho a light-up jacket gift, as a little payback for ripping up Y2J’s 15k scarf. The Miz throws a fit because if anyone deserves a gift it’s The Miz. Ambrose does a gift for Miz in the form of a Dirty Deeds ddt.
“Maryse, you know what happens when you’re married to a stupid idiot like The Miz?” says Jericho. “You just made the list!”
Sheamus vs. Matt Hardy
Hardy and Sheamus lock-up to kick off this match. Matt rolls up the big Irishman, but Sheamus breaks free. They lock up once more, and Hardy eats an elbow. Sheamus then takes down Matt with a shoulder tackle. Hardy rallies back with a neckbreaker and a few leg drops. Matt pins Sheamus, but the Celtic Warrior kicks out once again. The action spills to the outside, when Matt hits Sheamus with a sick Side Effect onto the ring apron.
We’re back from commercial break, and Sheamus has Matt trapped in a headlock. Hardy battles back, breaks free, but then eats some serious shots from Sheamus, including ten stiff smacks to the chest. Sheamus goes to the top rope, jumps and knocks down Matt Hardy.
Matt counters, as he uses Sheamus’ momentum and sends him into the steel ring post. Hardy takes to the top rope and sends Sheamus flying with a tornado ddt.
The Celtic Warrior is distracted by what’s going on outside the ring with Cesaro & Jeff. Hardy hits the Twist of Fate, and that’s it for Sheamus!
Matt Hardy defeats Sheamus
Post-match: Cesaro is blaming Jeff for Sheamus losing. But the Celtic Warrior has the cooler hand, and wants to shake Matt’s hand. Could it be a trick? Nope. Sheamus raises Matt’s arm in victory.
Raw GM Kurt Angle’s office: The Miz is upset
The Miz is furious for what happened earlier in the night with Ambrose & Jericho. Angle doesn’t want to hear his sh*t. He says if you have a problem, settle it in the ring. He books a tag team match for later in the night: Dean Ambrose & Y2J vs. Miz and whoever agrees to be his tag team partner or co-star or whatever. Maryse rants at Angle in French, and the RAW GM says, “Oh, yeah? Well, right back at ya!”
Neville & TJ Perkins vs. Austin Aries & “Gentleman” Jack Gallagher
We start off this one with a brawl between both teams. Aries & Gallgher have the upperhand, as they send both their opponents flying over the top rope before we go to commercials.
We’re back from the break, and Perkins hits Jack with a hit kick to the back. Perkins tags in Neville, who immediately goes on the attack, kicking Jack and trapping him into a headlock. Jack escapes and rallies back against the King of the Cruiserweights. But Neville counters and tags in TJ. They attempt to double team Gallagher, but that blows up in their face. Jack is kicking some serious ass!
Austin Aries get the hot tag. Aries annihilates both men with a flurry of moves. Aries sends Neville soaring over the top rope, and hits TJ with a neck-breaker only in a matter of seconds.
Aries is in complete control. He locks TJ Perkins into a Last Chancery. But Neville breaks up the submission hold. Gallagher and Neville trade shots, but Jack gains the upperhand. Aries recuperates and smacks Perkins with a Discus Five Arm.
Austin Aries & “Gentleman” Jack Gallagher defeats TJ Perkins & Neville
Dumpster Match: Braun Strowman vs. Kalisto
Strowman says he thinks everyone in the arena is trash, and we dumped Kalisto in the trash, it was like dumping everyone here in the trash. And he’ll dispose of Roman Reigns this Sunday at Payback in the same manner.
Backstage: Kurt Angle is asking Kalisto if he’s sure about fighting Braun Strowman. Kalisto says he’s ready. He’s a man. Not a piece of trash.
Kalisto rushes to the ring, and the match begins. The masked luchador hits Strowman with some weak kicks. Strowman grabs Kalisto by the head and screams in his face. Kalisto battles back with some high-risk moves. But that’s not enough. Strowman throws him across the ring like a Frisbee.
At one point, Kalisto had Braun teetering over the top rope, almost about to fall into the dumpster. But Braun reverses and hits Kalisto with more punishing blows. Strowman looks like he’s about to put away Kalisto and throw him in the dumpster. But Braun finds himself on the ring apron, trying to pick up the luchador by his head. Kalisto dropkicks Braun, who lands into that dumpster boot first.
Kalisto defeats Braun Strowman
Strowman snaps after the match, and hits Kalisto with several modified choke-slams. Braun throws Kalisto into the dumpster, and wheels it to the top of the ramp, as WWE officials try to talk some sense into the big man. Strowman locks the dumpster and then pushes it off the ramp, as it flips to its side onto the concrete floor.
