Drake Maverick is backstage with the Authors of Pain giving them a pep talk.

- The Authors of Pain vs. Enhancement talent: Rezar starts off and slams one jobber in to the corner, then hits a fall away slam. The other jobber jumps off the apron down to the floor to safey, but Akam runs around the ring and decks him with a clothesline, then throws him in the ring. Both jobbers are in the ring now, and Akam tags in. Akam gets in and slams one jobber on top of the other, then they hit the Super Collider for the three count after a squash match.

Winners: The Authors of Pain

They got good pops. Not me personally but a lot of older fans brought up on squash matches, feel nostalgic to these matches that remind them of their childhood.

I can see a babyface turn coming, because Drake Maverick is going to get you fans.

I'm glad Drake wasn't dressed like them this week, but still fitted in with the gimmick, with the clobber chosen.

Im a fan of what little i have seen of these online with Drake.

He needs to never wear the AOP gear again though because it just looked ridiculous.

With him taking this additional role, are we soon to see the long overdue end of 205 live?

So AOP got the headlining spot this week providing the opposition for the Shield who reunited for a match for the first time in a while, that’s a good position to be in.

My guess is this was a testing the waters experiment to see if they can hang in a main event environment with top talent, it’s also a good rub for them to be headlining a Raw episode against the Shield, they were protected too as Corbin ate the pinfall.

My opinion was they looked a little green and out of their depth but it was a worthwhile experiment and good experience for them as they continue to get better.

The Ascension vs. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable vs. The Authors of Pain: There's a melee between the teams at ringside before the opening bell sounds. The teams pull apart and get on the aprons, and this one gets underway. Akam and Gable go at it early on. Konnor tags himself in and gets in Akam's face, but Gable takes them both down. Viktor tags in and goes at it with Gable until Roode tags in for the double team on Viktor. Gable and Roode do a double team German suplex/elbow drop for the three count on Viktor after a short match.

Winners: Bobby Roode & Chad Gable

- After the match, The Authors of Pain beat down Roode and Gable, and they hit the super collider.

Very poor. AOP shouldn't be jobbing in a few minutes to a makeshift team, in a throwaway match.

Roode/Gable aren't gelling as a team and AOP beating them down post match didn't get them back their heel heat.

It was such a odd looking finish, it almost looked like it could have been a screw up.
