I will say, the episode didn't feel like it dragged on, which is ironic because that is by far, the red brand's biggest weakness.

A Battle Royal Match To Determine The Participant In The Last Chance Triple Threat Money In The Bank Qualifying Match.
Riddle sent Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville a letter that "was written by Randy Orton" so that Riddle can compete on the battle royal on Randy's behalf.
The decision-makers were in favour of that idea so Riddle's in the match.
A short entertaining scene is all I'm going to say.
The match itself wasn't really noteworthy other than the fact that Riddle was victorious in the end.
In an interview with Kevin Patrick, Styles wasn't happy that the match is a triple threat match and how Omos has to overwork himself to oversee the entire bout. Cool.
Nikki Cross vs Shayna Baszler.
Nikki Cross or as she would like to call herself, Nikki Ash, gave Baszler yet another loss because it feels like based on the booking and direction for the Shayna Baszler character, WWE legit hates her.
MVP Response To Kofi Kingston's Words On Bobby Lashley.
This is a segment where it's pretty much about two guys disagreeing with each other on what a top champion should be without the "with all due respect" part because they obviously do not like each other.
While the segment had the typical "a heel champion is lazy because they aren't on every show" line being used by Kofi Kingston, it was done in a way that it grabbed the emotional side of what it takes to become the top guy because becoming the so-called "top guy", is in every wrestler's radar.
Overall, it was a good direction to build a minimalistic story that anyone can follow or even relate to.
Asuka and Naomi vs Eva Marie and *ugh* Doudrop.
A rematch nobody asked for. This time, the duo of Eva Marie and *ewwh* Doudrop won the match with a devastating looking crossbody from Doudrop to Asuka.
Ricochet vs John Morrison.
Speaking of crossbodies, HOE LEE BALLS!
That springboard crossbody onto the outside will definitely be used in highlight reels and I ain't mad at it.
As a consequence of that springboard crossbody on the outside, both competitors couldn't make it to the count of 10 which means the match ended in a double count-out.
Would've preferred a clean win from Ricochet but as a whole, the match was fun.
Rhea Ripley, Mandy Rose And Dana Brooke vs Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Tamina.
This was aight, I guess. Flair led her team to victory with a big boot to Mandy Rose. Oh, and Ripley gave Flair a chop block immediately after the match ended. Meh.
Elias vs Jaxson Ryker In a Strap Match.
A match that nobody asked for. Ryker showed off his MAGA powers and because of it, he prevailed in the end.
Drew McIntyre vs AJ Styles vs Riddle. Money In The Bank Qualifying Match.
Monday Night RAW isn't good with their main event encounter but this one was an exception. I enjoyed the duckery f**k out of this match.
Omos saved AJ Styles from a pinfall victory from Riddle to which Riddle ate a claymore kick from outta nowhere by the Scottster to qualify for the ladder match.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The pacing of the episode, Riddle vs AJ Styles vs Drew McIntyre, Ricochet vs John Morrison.
Didn't like: Shayna losing yet again.
