After coming up short alongside Chad Gable against The Wyatt Sicks in a Six Man Tag Team Match in the main event of last week's edition of "Raw", Julius Creed and Brutus Creed will be going head-to-head with Otis and Akira Tozawa in a Texas Tornado Tag Team Match. The issues between American Made and Alpha Academy have been well documented over the course of the past several weeks, with The Creed Brothers previously emerging victorious over Otis and Tozawa on the July 29 edition of "Raw".

Finn Balor officially unveiled the latest iteration of Judgment Day last week after Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were betrayed by the group. Later that night, Priest defeated JD McDonagh after Balor became involved in the match. Balor and McDonagh along with Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan then overpowered him until Ripley became involved and reunited with Priest. Tonight, Priest has his chance to seek some retribution as he collides with Carlito while Ripley will be sharing something on her mind in the opening segment of the show.
