Sami Zayn attacked Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Gunther, which caused the Undisputed WWE Title number one contenders match to end in a no contest, and Sami then laid out Champion CM Punk, who came out to attack Sami. Separately, Nia Jax pinned WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green and demanded a title match against the injured Champion.

Raw spoilers from the same set of Cleveland tapings noted the return of Royce Keys accompanied by OTM (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price). Royce Keys and OTM attacked the Usos, LA Knight and Solo Sikoa during the reported segments.

The Cleveland reports said the next week’s programming will include an appearance from WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns.
