Stephanie reveals that Asuka will also defend her WWE Raw Women’s Championship against two opponents in a Triple Threat Match. Those two opponents will be determined tonight in qualifying matches, that start next!

Triple turns back around, revealing he was in the middle of a conversation. He’s speaking with the Bushwhackers (Butch & Luke). Triple H is explaining that he brought more people over to help him get all the championship belts and asks the Bushwackers to take care of the Von Erichs at Great Balls of Fire.

Roman Reigns and John Cena are backstage, debating how to get back Shango’s Top Hat or Undertaker’s Urn. Cena realizes Triple H is using Undertaker’s Urn to bring more ‘soldiers’ over, but Cena questions whether fighting fire with fire was ever the smart strategy? Roman says they should be looking for either Papa Shango himself or Jinder Mahal, believing either one will lead them to JBL’s limo. Cena agrees that finding Mahal, Shango or the limo is better than going after time portals to bring more superstars through. John has an idea on how to get Shango out of hiding.

Time Portal Time
In Triple H’s office, he is speaking with Vader, Albert and Sycho Sid whose leg is still broken. Triple H says he doesn’t like having wounded warriors and apologizes. He sends all three back through the time portal as Andre the Giant and Paul Heyman walk in. Triple H tells Andre and Paul he needs them around to neutralize Braun Strowman. Andre believes Strowman has his number and is unsure he can defeat the Monster Among Men. Triple H says ‘well then,’ and sends Andre through the time portal as well!
Triple H advises to Heyman that he make amends with Lesnar because if Strowman continues to be a threat for the WWE Universal Championship than Paul will be next to enter the time portal. Heyman understands and scurries off in fear. Batista and Orton enter the office, dumping the Bushwhackers on the floor. Triple H calls them mindless fools and sends them back through the time portal.
Hunter is becoming frustrated on who he can trust and decides that Batista and Orton should challenge the Von Erichs. Batista is not happily becoming a lackey for Hunter, despite how much money he is making. Orton feels the same way, as both decline Hunter’s offer to challenge for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship. Authors of Pain walk in with New Days Unicorn Horns and hand them to Stephanie. Triple H says maybe he needs a youthful, hungry team to challenge the Von Erichs?

Hunter claims it’s finally time Kurt found out his opponent, as Curtis Axel comes out on stage.
Angle laughs, asking if that’s who Triple H chose? Mr. Perfect comes from behind and drills Angle, revealing Perfect to be Angle’s opponent.

From Bulgaria with Love
Backstage, WWE European Champion Rusev is walking angrily. Aiden English catches up to him and asks Rusev to stand down on attacking McIntyre anymore. English believes they are outnumbered and they shouldn’t even be picking fights with allies of Triple H. Rusev asks why English is so concerned? English admits that the Bulgarian embassy sent him not to serve Rusev, but to convince Rusev to offer the same diplomatic immunity to Triple H that India offered Vince.
Rusev is livid that the Bulgarian embassy was only using him to get closer into WWE’s business. Rusev grabs English, who pleads with Rusev that Bulgaria only wanted a spot on WWE’s radar. English says it would benefit his country for Rusev to serve Triple H. Rusev says he is no one’s puppet, including his own country’s.
