Monday Night Raw kicked off in Winnipeg with Randy Orton. He admits that his emotions have been imbalanced. He reminisced about how fifteen years ago, the last time Raw was in Winnipeg, Orton was 24 years old and Intercontinental champion. He says that same night he was punched in the face by a man who “saved him from himself”. That man was Edge. He says he doesn’t expect anyone to understand what he did, but he is sorry for what he did.
Randy Orton is then interrupted by Kevin Owens. Owens tells Orton that he has issues with Murphy and Rollins, but he is going to put it aside. He says tonight he has a problem with Randy Orton. Kevin asks Randy why he did it because he doesn’t believe Randy is truly sorry. Orton tells Kevin he doesn’t want to go down that path.
Kevin Owens tells the story about how he had to watch Edge retire and be sad that he won’t ever share the ring with him. He says he was happy to see Edge get it back at the Royal Rumble, but Orton took it away the next night. He challenges Randy Orton to a fight and Orton accepts.

The OC are shown backstage arguing. Styles tells Anderson and Gallows to be quiet and start acting like the best tag team in the world. He says a miracle could happen. If Ricochet actually beats Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown, Styles will be right behind him to take the title off Ricochet. Styles spots Aleister Black and the OC attacks him for no reason.
