Monday's post-SummerSlam edition WWE Raw featuring Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and Shinsuke Nakamura against The Judgement Day in the main event averaged 1.888 million viewers and did a 0.61 rating (P18-49), an increase from the previous week, which did 1.759 million viewers and a 0.53 rating.

Raw focused on SummerSlam fallout, as well as the build towards WWE's next premium live event, Payback on Sep. 2. Balor and Priest continued to have issues, as the 2023 Money In The Bank winner inadvertently cost Balor his match against Rollins at SummerSlam.

WWE also teased a potential conflict between Rollins and Rhodes, as they argued with each other several times before they would co-exist in the main event.

Rollins, Rhodes, and Nakamura defeated The Judgement Day, after "The American Nightmare" landed his Cross Rhodes finisher on Balor. After the match, Rhodes and Rollins shook hands and seemingly ended their issues. WWE surprised fans by having Nakamura attack Rollins after the match to set up a feud against each other.

Nakamura's heel turn and attack on Rollins kicks off a fresh feud over the World Heavyweight championship.

Another new storyline saw Chad Gable win a fatal four-way match against Matt Riddle, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa to earn a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental championship.

Otis lost to Ludwig Kaiser, which led to Imperium attacking the Alpha Academy member after the match. Gable came to the ring to save his partner, furthering his bad blood with Gunther.

The other development from the episode was JD McDonagh taking out Sami Zayn, who was initially supposed to team with Rollins and Rhodes. McDonagh also was featured in a backstage segment with Balor and the rest of The Judgement Day - which is something to keep an eye on.
