Summary[]
After returning to SmackDown and reuniting with his brother, the eager Jimmy Uso seized the opportunity to team with “Main Event” Jey Uso for the first time in over a year in a matchup against former SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Street Profits. A pre-match war of words served as a prelude to the intense action to come.
Jey pulled Jimmy out of the line of fire and caused Montez Ford to miss his Splash from the Heavens! Moment later, Jimmy hit the earth-shattering Superkick for the win. The victory certainly put The Usos one step closer to a future SmackDown Tag Team Title Match.
Newly crowned WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Natalya & Tamina overcame The Riott Squad. As The Queen of Harts tangled with Liv Morgan outside the ring, Tamina took out Ruby Riott with a wicked headbutt and finished her with the Splash off the top rope.
After SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair overcame "The Untouchable" Carmella with the K.O.D., Bayley stood atop the SmackDown announce table and laughed at the The EST of WWE.
Still reveling in last week's brutal beatdown of Cesaro, birthday boy Seth Rollins played audio footage of The Swiss Superman in apparent pain in a hospital and put the blame of his attack on Cesaro and the WWE Universe.
Seconds after Kevin Owens hit the Stunner on Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, Commander Azeez blasted KO with the devastating Nigerian Nail to result in a disqualification.
After hype man Rick Boogs helped Shinsuke Nakamura to a victory over King Corbin last week, The King of Strong Style defeated The Alpha Academy’s Chad Gable with a vicious Kinshasa.
After Rey Mysterio suffered a mysterious attack backstage, Dominik took heroic action and opted to face off against Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode in a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Handicap Match.
Just as it looked as if Dominik may finally succumb to his opponents, Rey Mysterio's music suddenly blared through the ThunderDome. The quick-thinking Dominik used the distraction to his advantage and pinned Robert Roode's shoulders to the mat. In the aftermath, The Usos came toe-to-toe with the titleholders as they prepare to square off next week.
