After missing SmackDown's raid of Raw last week, Samoa Joe makes it clear that he has returned with a vengeance when he clashes with Titus Worldwide's Apollo Crews.

On a night full of comebacks, it’s safe to say Samoa Joe was a little excited for his own Raw return: Not only did he not even wait for Nia Jax to exit after the previous match before his music hit, but both his savage condemnation of the WWE Universe and the results of The Samoan Submission Machine’s first match back proved he hadn’t lost a step despite a two-month layoff.

The brave soul to challenge the two-time NXT Champion was Apollo Crews, who was looking for some redemption after being the first Superstar felled in the SmackDown LIVE siege last week. Crews took advantage of Joe’s rust with a display of athleticism that briefly put the big man on his heels, but a failed attempt at the Spinning Sit-out Powerbomb allowed Joe to power his way to a match-ending Coquina Clutch on Crews for the tapout victory. And then, he locked in another one on Titus O’Neil when the former WWE Tag Team Champion attempted to step to Joe after the bell.
