Raw started with Commissioner Real Deal coming to ringside to do commentary during Kurt Angle’s match with Antonio Cesaro. Angle took it to Cesaro, despite Cesaro’s advantage in youth. But Angle couldn’t keep the resilient Cesaro’s shoulders down for a three count.
Angle was about to put Cesaro away with the Angle Lock when, through the crowd, Kofi and Rey appeared. Angle dropped Cesaro and started yelling at the Smackdown invaders. While he was distracted, Cesaro rolled up Angle for the surprise victory. Angle was furious at the loss, inviting the two into the ring.
Real Deal got out of his chair and started yelling at Kofi & Rey. He told them to get out of the arena and shoved Rey. Kofi responded with a swift kick to the head, knocking Real Deal down. Angle chased after the two, but they retreated into the crowd.
