WWE Raw October Week 1 2017

We open the show with Strowman demanding competition for his title, he calls out Kurt Angle, who will give him that competition, OR ELSE. Kurt tries to calm him down, saying he can't make a match on such short notice-- Ambrose interrupts and says Kurt may not, but he can, and he'll do what Rollins couldn't last week. Strowman accepts this COMPETITION. (81)

We cut to a vignette... Bray Wyatt is rocking back and forth in his rocking chair, staring, in some random backwoods place. We pan around to see what he's staring at, it shows a wall which says "MOTIVATION." in giant white letters. When we cut back to the rocking chair, there's only a silhouette, but it appears the rocking chair has been replaced... with a director's chair? (65)

Slater & Rhyno d. The Revival (53) Sheamus & Cesaro assault Roman backstage. It's eventually broken up before Roman gets hurt too badly. (70)

Miz is attempting to hype up The Miztourage to avenge their loss to that inferior Titus Brand last week. Bo is getting hyped, but Axel isn't entirely getting into it. (47) Titus O Neil and Tozawa d. The Miztourage in decisive fashion for the second week in a row. (45) Alicia Fox d. Emma (47)

Rollins & Ambrose are backstage discussing how to beat Strowman. Roman Reigns shows up, says it's cool they want to beat Strowman, but maybe they should clean up their messes first cause Sheamus & Cesaro seem to be starting crap with him because of them. Rollins agrees and says he'll handle this, Ambrose has a match, heads to the ring to call out Sheamus. Sheamus comes out with Cesaro and accepts. (72) Sheamus vs Seth Rollins. Competitive match, but late Rollins starts to get a clear edge. Cesaro interferes at that moment, and it's a blatant DQ as the two assault him. (69)

Roman Reigns's music hits a bit after the assault. Roman is apparently coming to help Rollins, but is sorta just doing his normal entrance. He eventually gets there to scatter the assailants and face Cesaro in a match (77) Roman Reigns vs Cesaro in a main event caliber competitive match that has Roman eventually winning after a strong showing from Cesaro (77)

Squabbling between Bliss and Mickie about Mickie's "owed" title shot. Bliss says to shut Mickie up, she'll give Mickie a title shot if Mickie can beat Bliss and Nia in a tag match. Mickie accepts! And before she needs to find a tag partner, Bayley returns! Bayley says she'll be Mickie's tag partner. Mickie seems cool with this-- but Sasha's music hits. Sasha says she's been keeping up with Bayley's rehab, and Bayley shouldn't rush returning from her shoulder injury. Sasha will team up with Mickie for her dear friend Bayley instead. Bayley shrugs but is convinced Sasha has her best interests in mind and lets Sasha take the match while she heads to commentary. (60) While Corey Graves grills Bayley on her rehab, Bayley says she thought she was okay to fight, but it is smart to not rush back! Meanwhile, Mickie & Sasha d. Alexa & Nia when Nia randomly leaves the match, allowing Sasha to tap out Alexa in a 2v1. (55) (Corey graves and Bayley have great chemistry at the announce table. Sure. Whatever.)
