Owens tagged in and took out Wilson with a clothesline and a senton before hitting the cannonball on Prince in the ring. Owens came in with a stunner on Prince, while Sami got the Helluva Kick on Wilson before picking up the win.

Backstage after the match, Shotzi walked up to Bayley and IYO in the washroom and got laid out. Bayley grabbed Shotzi's hair and cut some off before walking out.

Logan Paul was out next as a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect. Waller was talking about his accomplishments when LA Knight came out to interrupt. We got some banter with Knight and then Santon Escobar, who showed up before Butch ran in and started a brawl, leading to a match.


LA Knight vs. Butch vs. Santos Escobar on SmackDown

LA Knight dominated early on but went to stare Logan Paul down at ringside.

Escobar hit him with a dive to the outside before dragging him back into the ring. Butch hit Escobar with the Bitter End before picking up the win.

Asuka (c) vs. Charlotte - WWE Women's Championship match on SmackDown

Charlotte missed a big boot in the corner before Asuka came back with a backstabber. Charlotte got a spear for a near fall before heading outside, where Asuka dodged a kick, and Bianca Belair in the front row took it to the face.

Belair jumped the barricades and attacked Asuka as the match got called off. Bianca was emptying the announce desk when Charlotte came up and told her it was her match.

A brawl broke out, and Charlotte got sent into the steel steps before Asuka took the KOD on the announce desk. Belair also hit the KOD on Charlotte and dropped her on top of Asuka before SmackDown continued.

Result: D.N.F

Grade: B


Roman Reigns was out next. After asking London to acknowledge him, he said he was 'the one,' and the Bloodline didn't matter. He said he only cared about The Usos and wanted to see them do well, but they betrayed him.

The Tribal Chief said he wanted to give them a second chance, but The Usos had to bow down to him in return. The Usos came out and laughed at Roman, saying that they were past making amends and wanted to give Reigns what he deserved, his first loss in a long time.

Jey said that when Roman loses tomorrow, he won't be the Tribal Chief anymore. The Usos said they didn't want to be Tribal Cheif, but someone else should take his place when Roman loses, possibly hinting at Solo Sikoa.

Jey got in Roman's face and smacked him before Jimmy came in with a superkick. A brawl broke out before Reigns took Jey down with a Superman punch and beat down the security guys who showed up to stop them.

Jey came in with a big dive and took out everyone at ringside before SmackDown went off the air.
