At #SummerSlam, @_Theory1 gets @fightbobby for the #USTitle! https://t.co/qPCGxHG864
Theory taunted Lashley and said that he was going 'straight to the top' with the contract before mentioning that management booked him a rematch for the US Title at SummerSlam. Lashley said that Theory wouldn't even make it to SummerSlam before the latter attacked the champ with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
CATCH!

The Miz was backstage and asked Logan Paul to accept his offer to start a tag team, or the A-Lister will be "relentless."
"@LoganPaul, accept my offer and we will become WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions. But if you don't, I will be relentless. I will make you earn everything and you will be humbled."
@mikethemiz gives Logan Paul an ultimatum on #WWERaw. https://t.co/Pub6bnrAaR
The Street Profits were hosting a party earlier in the day, and The Alpha Academy came in to ruin their fun. They were about to have a hot dog eating contest later on in the show.
