WWE confirmed Finn Balor will challenge Elias Samson in a no disqualification match on next week’s episode of WWE RAW.
The two met on tonight’s show but the match did not see a true finish as Samson bashed a guitar over Balor’s head. The No DQ match is the third match confirmed for next week’s episode of WWE RAW, with Sasha Banks versus Bayley, and Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose against The Miztourage also lined up for the show.

Purple Ropes Forever
As seen on WWE RAW tonight, the Cruiserweight division competed tonight with red ropes and RAW ringposts and apron graphics, not their customary purple ropes and custom ring aprons. The house lights and other small details were still purple, but the ring changes were notable.
