The show opened with Brock Lesnar making a surprise appearance, interrupting Oba Femi. Lesnar, who stated he's "not much of a promo guy," confronted Femi for speaking negatively about him "behind his back." Lesnar declared, "Talk s**t, get hit," before delivering a low blow and an F-5 to the King of the Ring. Femi quickly recovered, calling Lesnar a "bitch" and issuing a challenge for one final match at SummerSlam. Lesnar accepted the challenge with the stipulation that it would take place inside Hell in a Cell.

Talk s**t, get hit.

The segment drew an enormous reaction, though the portrayal of Femi was questioned. Critics noted that Femi, fresh off his King of the Ring victory, appeared to let his guard down and stand idly by during Lesnar's promo, which seemed out of character for the wrestler who was previously shown to be cautious of sneak attacks. The added stipulation was also viewed as unnecessary, with the segment's success primarily attributed to featuring a top star and feeling like a major development.

Rey Mysterio vs. "All Ego" Ethan Page

In singles action, Rey Mysterio faced "All Ego" Ethan Page. Page's rivalry with "everyone" continued on Raw. In their match, Mysterio overcame a focused attack on his back to secure a victory with a top-rope splash. Michael Cole highlighted the win on commentary, noting it was a significant accomplishment against a "red-hot" Page. However, it was suggested that losing this match represents a step back for Page, especially after his prior Intercontinental Championship opportunity was lost to Penta.

Joe Hendry and The Street Profits' Celebratory Concert

New world tag team champions The Street Profits, alongside Joe Hendry, held a celebratory concert segment that evolved into a typical match-setting scenario. Austin Theory took exception to the trio having fun at his expense, leading to a face-to-face confrontation. Theory challenged Hendry to a match, which the "beloved songbird" accepted. The segment was described as an "extra-large nothingburger" that accomplished little and did not effectively highlight The Street Profits on the microphone.

Joe Hendry vs. Austin Theory

The match between Joe Hendry and Austin Theory featured competent wrestling from two talented performers. While not considered a great contest, the bout did not significantly advance any ongoing story, and its impact on the overall narrative was minimal.
