WWE reveals live events for May, June

WWE is making a swing through the south in May before hitting the northeast in June.

All eyes are focused on the Road to WrestleMania right now, but WWE is already planning for what comes afterward.

Specifically, the company announced a number of live event dates for mid-May to mid-June, including multiple locations for WWE Raw and SmackDown, along with some WWE Supershow house shows.

The May dates are primarily in the south, while June sees states like New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Ohio in the mix.

Here are all the shows revealed today:

  • Friday, May 12: SmackDown – Thompson-Boling Arena, Knoxville, Tenn.
  • Saturday, May 13: WWE Supershow – James Brown Arena, Augusta, Ga.
  • Sunday, May 14: WWE Supershow – North Charleston Coliseum, North Charleston, S.C.
  • Monday, May 15: Raw – Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, N.C.
  • Friday, May 19: SmackDown – Colonial Life Arena, Columbia, S.C.
  • Saturday, May 20: WWE Supershow – Crown Coliseum, Fayetteville, N.C.
  • Sunday, May 21: WWE Supershow – Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, Va.
  • Monday, May 29: Raw – MVP Arena, Albany, N.Y.
  • Friday, June 2: SmackDown – Mohegan Sun Arena @ Casey Plaza, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
  • Monday, June 5: Raw – XL Center, Hartford, Conn.
  • Monday, June 19: Raw – Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland, Ohio

Of note is the fact that WWE has yet to confirm its next few premium live events after WrestleMania, which likely will be taking place just before and within this run of live events. Reports last month suggested WWE will hold two premium live events in May, with Backlash falling early in the month and King and Queen of the Ring (supposedly in Saudi Arabia) on Memorial Day weekend.

Tickets for all of the shows listed above go on sale on Friday, March 10.

Opening Bell: Pre-Revolution AEW shows, Roman Reigns scheduled for SmackDown

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, Feb. 27, Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Mich.

WWE has blessed us with a lot more insight into what to expect this Monday than some weeks, when it’s like three hours before the show and there’s been one match and one other segment promoted. For Grand Rapids, there’s much more starting with a tag team title match pitting Becky Lynch and Lita against Damage CTRL. Lita with WWE gold in the Year of Our Lord 2023 would be pretty wild, but we’re close enough that it feels quite possible.

Speaking of things no one saw coming, Omos‘ challenge to Brock Lesnar falls into that same category. The Nigerian Giant is awaiting a response, so we’ll see if the Beast Incarnate shows up to give him one this week.

Who’s ready for Asuka? Carmella claims she is, but that might not actually be the case since the Empress of Tomorrow is acting spookier and more unpredictable than ever. We’ll see what’s what when they compete on Raw.

Also on tap for Grand Rapids:

  • The Miz will host a WrestleMania edition of Miz TV and perhaps discuss his own plans for the Showcase of the Immortals
  • Candice LeRae will attempt to not become the latest victim of Piper Niven

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, March 1, Cow Palace, San Francisco

Though there are no actual cows at the Cow Palace, it’s certainly a historic venue and a fitting one for the final Dynamite before Revolution. As such, it’s a loaded show that will answer who will be the Face of the Revolution with the ladder match of the same name. A bunch of big and intriguing names are in it, with Samoa Joe on commentary, so it should be fun.

Another bout that could be high on entertainment value is the Casino Tag Team Battle Royale. This one will have a direct effect on the Revolution card, as the winning team will be entered into the four-way dance for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

And if you want a final dose of dueling microphones before the PPV, you’ll get it for the biggest match on the card as MJF and Bryan Danielson will get their final say. The champ, as he is wont to do, took things too far last week, which led to punches being thrown. We’d be shocked if there wasn’t a high chance of that happening again this Wednesday.

Here’s what else AEW is promoting for Dynamite:

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, March 3, Capital One Arena, Washington D.C.

The nation’s capital plays host to SmackDown this week, and the big news is that Roman Reigns is scheduled to appear. The Tribal Chief has been sitting in the background watching drama continue to swirl around the Bloodline even after he defeated Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber. What will the champ have to say?

A pair of women’s matches have also been announced for the show. Rhea Ripley, who is pursuing the SmackDown title at WrestleMania, will battle Liv Morgan in a match that Charlotte Flair will no doubt be watching closely. Plus Ronda Rousey, who didn’t appear to know who Tegan Nox was last week, will tag with BFF Shayna Baszler to face Nox and Natalya.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, March 1, Cow Palace, San Francisco

Two nights before Revolution, AEW Rampage is live from the Cow Palace. Live editions of the show are always that little bit better than the recorded ones, and this should be no different.

No matches have been announced yet, but that could change even prior to Dynamite this week, so keep an eye on AEW’s social media accounts for some hints on what will be offered up this Friday.

WWE SmackDown results: Flair, Ripley face off, The Usos still have issues

Full WWE SmackDown results for Feb. 24, 2023, with Charlotte Flair going face-to-face with WrestleMania challenger Rhea Ripley.

Sometimes pointing at the WrestleMania sign isn’t enough. Sometimes you have to get in the ring and actually look your opponent for the biggest show of the WWE year in the eye and show them that you aren’t backing down. Conveniently, that’s what’s happening tonight on WWE SmackDown, in Evansville, Indiana.

Rhea Ripley has the momentum, having battled through the Royal Rumble to earn her shot, and in an overall sense for being an important part of The Judgment Day. Charlotte Flair has the SmackDown Women’s Championship and owns a previous WrestleMania victory over Rhea. Something has to give, though it would be surprising if either woman flinched tonight.

The Firefly Fun House is also making its return this week. Bray Wyatt warned the winner of a certain big, meaty men slapping meat match at Elimination Chamber he’d have his eye on the winner. That means Bobby Lashley will almost certainly be in the crosshairs of Wyatt and his puppet friends.

How about some matches, since this is a wrestling show? One that has weeks of buildup behind it will see Rey Mysterio once again go up against Karrion Kross. The bigger problem for Rey is that his son has promised to accompany Ripley to pay dad a visit, and that never turns out well.

And Imperium will be in six-man tag action against Braun Strowman, Ricochet and Madcap Moss — which sounds like a pretty even matchup except that Moss has apparently been leaning on the edge of going to the dark side.

WWE SmackDown results in 60 seconds:

  • Kayla Braxton wants a word with Jimmy Uso, who says he hasn’t spoken to Jey yet despite many efforts to do so, but he wants his brother to look him in the eye tonight
  • Imperium def. Braun Strowman, Ricochet and Madcap Moss by pinfall
  • Drew McIntyre, who came out on the ramp to watch the previous match, is assaulted by the Viking Raiders, though Sheamus comes to his aid
  • Rey Mysterio vows to put an end to Karrion Kross, but Dominik Mysterio is unimpressed with Santos Escobar‘s show of respect for his dad
  • Jimmy Uso tells Solo Sikoa things feel different in the Bloodline since Montreal, and Paul Heyman suggests maybe Solo should hang back tonight so Jimmy can settle things with his brother alone
  • LA Knight wants to talk about the other L.A., but The New Day don’t think he’s earned it, and Kofi Kingston would love the chance to shut him up
  • Kofi Kingston def. LA Knight by pinfall
  • Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley have a brief showdown after Dominik Mysterio spends a lot of time running his mouth
  • Shayna Baszler def. Natalya by submission
  • Firefly Fun House asks a pressing question: Can you keep a secret?
  • Heyman tells Jimmy Uso he needs to handle things with Jey Uso, or Roman Reigns will next week
  • Karrion Kross def. Rey Mysterio by submission thanks to interference from Dominik
  • Jimmy Uso wants to talk to Jey, but he ends up talking to Sami Zayn instead … and the drama continues

Scroll down for more details on every match and major non-match segment.

Opening Bell: Tony K. has something to say on Dynamite, Edge challenges Austin Theory on Raw

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, Feb. 20, Canadian Tire Centre, Ottawa

Sami Zayn came up short in his heroic effort to topple Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of Canadian WWE stars hunting for gold.

After surviving the Men’s Elimination Chamber match with his United States Championship intact, Austin Theory felt good enough to issue an open challenge for this week’s episode of Raw. As fate would have it, the challenge was answered by Edge, who must be feeling good himself after a victory over The Judgment Day in Montreal.

Since Theory has been on a quest to put anyone he considers the past beneath him, he should really enjoy this … unless he loses, of course. We’ll find out Monday night.

The other match WWE has promoted will see Mustafa Ali go up against Dolph Ziggler. Ali has been adamant that Ziggler keeps getting opportunities not afforded to him, then refused to team up for the recent tag team tournament. Can he pay Dolph back in Montreal?

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, Feb. 22, Footprint Center, Phoenix

When Tony Khan talks, the pro wrestling world usually listens. AEW’s CEO, GM and Head of Creative is teasing an important announcement for this week in Phoenix, which is sure to be the subject of much speculation over the first part of this week.

Several matches have been advertised for this week’s show, starting with Orange Cassidy defending his All-Atlantic Championship against Wheeler Yuta. Jon Moxley will take on a suddenly more assertive Evil Uno, while Skye Blue tries to upset Saraya. Last but certainly not least, The Acclaimed will go up against Big Bill and Lee Moriarty.

Perhaps the most interesting one, however, is a tag team battle royale. One duo will emerge with a shot at The Gunns at Revolution, except it will only be one of three other teams facing the tag team champs there. Got that?

Oh, and there are some non-match segments to look forward to in Phoenix for good measure:

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, Feb. 24, Ford Center, Evansville, IN

It’s not unusual for WWE to play things close to the vest about SmackDown the week after a premium live event, which is the situation we’re in now. One match we know will take place in Indiana will see Karrion Kross face off again with Rey Mysterio, as their “hey that’s right, they’re still feuding” bit continues.

It’s worth noting that SmackDown has been the primary driver of the Bloodline story for the past few months, so the fallout from Elimination Chamber at the top of the card is likely to hit here. That alone might be reason enough to tune in Friday night.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, Feb. 24, Footprint Center, Phoenix (recorded on Feb. 22)

Another week, another time where we don’t have any pre-announced matches for Rampage. We’re coming up quickly on Revolution, however, which means this week’s show could be more significant than most pre-recorded episodes. Keep a close eye on Dynamite on Wednesday to see what ends up being revealed.

WWE SmackDown results: ‘Twas the night before WarGames …

Get full WWE SmackDown results for the November 25, 2022 episode from Providence, the night before Survivor Series WarGames.

Hope everyone got all their Black Friday shopping in today, because tonight it’s time for WWE SmackDown. With Survivor Series only 24 hours away, there’s still some important business to take care of in Providence before the scene shifts a little up the road to Boston on Saturday.

For starters, there’s the not insignificant deal of who will get the advantage for the Men’s WarGames match. Sheamus and Drew McIntyre would figure to have a good shot at securing it against just about any two opponents, but their problem is that it’s not just any two opponents, it’s the undisputed tag team champions, The Usos. Will the Bloodline go into Survivor Series with the upper hand as usual?

Bianca Belair already knows her side will be at a disadvantage against Team Damage CTRL in the Women’s WarGames match, but she has an ace still to play: She hasn’t revealed the fifth member of her side. Get ready for the rook to be blown off the arena if it’s someone we haven’t seen in the while … like, say Becky Lynch or (dare we hope) Sasha Banks.

The SmackDown World Cup is rolling on this Friday as well, with the semifinal matches both on the card. One bout will be an all-USA affair as Ricochet tries to topple the much larger Braun Strowman, while the other match will have more international flavor as Santos Escobar collides with Butch.

There’s more that’s been announced as well, but we want to wrap up this preamble and get to the good stuff. If you’re done with your shopping and will be watching live on FOX tonight, awesome. If not, please bookmark this page and check back throughout the evening, as we’ll be updating it with the latest and greatest WWE SmackDown results from Providence as they happen.

Opening Bell: Survivor Series WarGames beckons, AEW finds a contender for MJF

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, November 21, MVP Arena, Albany, NY

Before you dig into your turkey and stuffing or other foods of choice this week, there’s business to take care of on Raw. The women’s WarGames teams are set for Survivor Series, but which side will have the advantage is up for grabs on Monday in Albany.

To settle that important question, Asuka will take on Rhea Ripley. The winner will get a numerical advantage every few minutes during WarGames, so both Team Bianca Belair and Team Damage CTRL will be watching anxiously (and perhaps even intervening) to see who comes out on top.

And that’s all WWE has officially revealed for this week’s show so far. Considering Survivor Series WarGames only has four matches announced and the women’s match still has one participant yet to be revealed, smart money suggests we’ll get some answers on Monday night.

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, November 23, Wintrust Arena, Chicago

AEW is headed back to one of its homes away from home, the Windy City, for the pre-Thanksgiving episode of Dynamite. The biggest thing on the card is determining a No. 1 contender for MJF, who you may have heard is now the AEW World Champion following Full Gear. Ethan Page and Ricky Starks will wrestle for that honor in the final of a tournament that’s been going for a few weeks.

[lawrence-related id=16647]

But the show is pretty loaded beyond that. The Elite and Death Triangle tore it down at Full Gear, where it was revealed they’re going to do it again … and again and again, in a best-of-7 series for the AEW World Trios Championship. Match two takes place Wednesday on Dynamite.

Chris Jericho is still The Ocho, but he’ll get a formidable challenge for his ROH World Championship from Tomohiro Ishii of NJPW. And Orange Cassidy, who’s been putting his All-Atlantic Championship on the line regularly, will face perhaps his physically biggest test as champ in the form of Jake Hager (and his purple bucket hat).

A good night of wrestling before turkey? It sounds like it.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, November 25, Wintrust Arena, Chicago (recorded on November 23)

We still don’t know much about what AEW has planned for Rampage this holiday week, but we do know one thing: It’s not going to be on at 10 p.m. ET like usual.

Nope, Rampage is moving earlier, much earlier, for this pre-taped show from the Chi. It will air at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on TNT. So … just be thankful for some afternoon wrestling, we suppose.

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, November 25, Amica Mutual Pavilion, Providence, RI

We’re bummed this venue is no longer the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, even though we’re sure the folks at Amica Mutual are lovely. It’s unusual to know much more about the SmackDown card than the Raw card on a Monday, but that’s exactly the case here for this big show on the night before Survivor Series.

The men’s WarGames advantage will be up for grabs in a tag team match between the undisputed champs, The Usos, and the brothers from another mother, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. It would certainly help the Brawling Brutes and company if they can gain an edge over the Bloodline.

Speaking of the Brutes, another one of their own, Butch, is still alive in the SmackDown World Cup, and will take on Santos Escobar Friday in one semifinal. The other semifinal will also take place in Providence, when Ricochet goes up against Braun Strowman.

Last but certainly not least, Shotzi and Ronda Rousey continue to circle each other ahead of their title match at Survivor Series WarGames. They’ll meet in a tag team match Friday, with Shotzi teaming with Raquel Rodriguez while Rousey calls upon her BFF, Shayna Baszler.

You’ll be all shopped out by Black Friday night anyway, so this is the best possible way to end Thanksgiving week.

WWE SmackDown results: World Cup time! No, not that World Cup …

Get WWE SmackDown results for the Nov. 18, 2022 episode from Hartford, featuring two more SmackDown World Cup first-round matches.

While the football World Cup may not be allowing beer near the proceedings, we’re all in favor of cracking open a cold one for WWE SmackDown in Hartford this week, whether you are at the arena or watching at home.

(Neither if you have to drive anywhere, though, please be responsible.)

It’s not just a random cheap shot we’re taking at soccer, however, because the SmackDown World Cup is very much a part of the action on this week’s show. One first-round match will see Butch take on Sami Zayn in what should be an excellent contest. As well, you may recall that their respective groups, the Brawling Brutes and the Bloodline, have been at each other’s throats quite a bit. Could that lead to a WarGames match at Survivor Series? All signs point to yes.

The other first-round World Cup match doesn’t have the same faction-related intrigue, but should still be a barnburner nonetheless. We’re talking Ricochet vs. Mustafa Ali, which means you should hold onto your butts. High-flying moves? You’re about to see some.

And in the women’s division, Shotzi won the right to call herself the next contender for Ronda Rousey‘s SmackDown Women’s Championship. But before she gets that opportunity, she’ll do battle with Rousey’s right-hand woman, Shayna Baszler. Can Shotzi prove something to herself … and Rousey?

With Survivor Series WarGames just eight days away, there’s bound to be a bit more in terms of solidifying that card. There’s also every chance we’ll see Bray Wyatt, since SmackDown is supposed to be his show. All good reasons to tune in to FOX, or to simply bookmark this page for the latest WWE SmackDown results as they happen from Hartford.

Opening Bell: Full Gear week, plus a Mizpology

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, November 14, KFC Yum! Center, Louisville, KY

Any show with “Yum!” in the name of the venue can’t help but appear fun (and yes, we know that’s an actual part of the company’s name). What could be truly entertaining is seeing The Miz apologize for what he’s done with regard to Dexter Lumis. But will it be a sincere act of contrition, or simply to save his own hide? History doesn’t make the former a favorite, let’s just say that.

Finn Balor attempted to accept Seth Rollins‘ open challenge for the United States Championship last week but had those plans derailed by The O.C. This week he’ll get his shot at Rollins … but not for the title. Oh well.

Also, Matt Riddle will continue his ongoing feud with Alpha Academy when he goes one-on-one with Chad Gable. We don’t have anything witty to add to this one, so we’ll just say it sounds like a good matchup and there will probably be bongo/weed jokes of some sort involved.

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, November 16, Total Mortgage Arena, Bridgeport, CT

Ayyyyy let’s get some mortgages everyone! Jokes aside, AEW is trying to come into Full Gear hot as it heads to Connecticut for the final Dynamite before Saturday’s PPV.

Two big multi-person matches are on tap. Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli will team up to face Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara just three days before all four of them throw down for Jericho’s ROH World Championship. Plus Death Triangle, which has had some stirrings of internal dissent lately, tries to get on the same page as they take on Top Flight and AR Fox.

(And they may need to be if a certain trio of shadowbanned stars are coming back at Full Gear.)

We’ll hear from both Jon Moxley and MJF ahead of their titanic main event in Newark. The Acclaimed will debut their new music video. Plus more:

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, November 18, XL Center, Hartford, CT

Wow, Connecticut is the center of the pro wrestling world this week, at least for a few days! We know a bit more about what’s going to be in store on SmackDown than we often do at the beginning of the week as well.

For starters, the first round of the SmackDown World Cup isn’t over yet, so Butch and Sami Zayn will have their bout this Friday. It’s also an extension of the beef between the Bloodline and the Brawling Brutes, which just heated up again last week. Another first round match will pit Ricochet against Mustafa Ali in what’s sure to be a high-flying encounter.

In the women’s division, Shotzi earned her shot at Ronda Rousey by emerging from a Six-Pack Challenge match last week, but she immediately ran afoul of the champ and her BFF Shayna Baszler. She’ll get a chance at some payback on SmackDown, at least when it comes to Baszler.

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, November 18, Prudential Center, Newark

‘Twas the night before Full Gear, and we have a sense that pretty much everyone will be stirring as the final teeth on the gears lock into place. And there’s a crazy dream match of the type you can hardly believe is on U.S. TV to boot: Eddie Kingston and Ortiz vs. Jun Akiyama and Kunosuke Takeshita. Seriously, read that again and go “wow.”

We actually don’t know what else is on the Rampage slate, but one assumes there might be more tournament matches, and perhaps it will be confirmed The Elite is returning. It’s a Rampage that has more than the typical amount of intrigue, for sure.

WWE SmackDown results: Usos vs. New Day with history on the line

Get full WWE SmackDown results for the November 11, 2022 episode from Indianapolis, with The New Day challenging The Usos.

It’s not often you get to control your own destiny when it comes to preventing one of your records from being broken, but that’s what The New Day is facing this week on WWE SmackDown.

It’s a point of pride and of legacy for The New Day to be the longest reigning WWE tag team champions of any kind. The iconic group held the titles for 483 days during one of their many reigns, a mark that has yet to be surpassed.

Except The Usos are nearly there. Jimmy and Jey aren’t just the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions by virtue of holding the Raw and SmackDown titles, they’ve been in possession of the latter for more than 480 days. They will break the record unless Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston can come up big in Indianapolis.

The two teams cut an excellent promo for this match on Raw, and this should be an excellent match considering how high the stakes are.

[listicle id=13490]

That’s not all SmackDown has going for it on this particular Friday night. Ronda Rousey needs a new challenger for her SmackDown Women’s Championship, so WWE is going to find her one in the most chaotic fashion possible: a Six-Pack Challenge.

And the World Cup begins in Indy as well. No, not the world’s most popular sporting event, but the WWE equivalent of that famous tournament. This eight-man bracket kicks off on SmackDown with Santos Escobar and Shinsuke Nakamura facing each other, and the eventual winner will get a shot at Gunther and his Intercontinental Championship.

So get ready, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, because SmackDown is packing a lot into these two hours. If you aren’t able to tune in live on FOX, please bookmark this page and check back later for the most up to date WWE SmackDown results as they happen.

WWE SmackDown results: Gunther, Rey Mysterio do the darn thing

Get quick WWE SmackDown results for the November 4, 2022 episode pre-recorded ahead of WWE Crown Jewel.

Much of the WWE roster is already in Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel on Saturday. So does that mean there’s no WWE SmackDown this week? Perish the thought!

The show, as it ever does, rolls on, regardless of logistical concerns. WWE solved this particular one by pre-taping this episode the previous Friday, after the usual live show. That means that spoilers are already out there, and if you want a detailed rundown on what went down, you can go seek them out.

We’ve checked out some non-spoiler recaps and can give you a high level look at what to expect. Liv Morgan, now plenty extreme, thank you very much, takes on Sonya Deville again, this time in a No Disqualification bout. Ricochet and LA Knight are going to take their recent beef to the ring. And Rey Mysterio will get an Intercontinental Championship shot against Gunther.

Oh, yes, and we can’t forget there’s likely to be more with Bray Wyatt and the mysterious, spooky figure named Uncle Howdy.

So we’re not going to go blow by blow for this show under the circumstances, but if you need to know what went down this week, read on for full WWE SmackDown results on the night before Crown Jewel.

WWE SmackDown results in 60 seconds:

  • Liv Morgan def. Sonya Deville by pinfall in a No Disqualification match featuring a truly impressive pile of steel chairs
  • Emma said she had something to prove by accepting Ronda Rousey’s challenge, but it appears Xia Li is going to make her prove more
  • A clip from Impaulsive shows Jake Paul offering to support his brother Logan Paul at Crown Jewel
  • Another video package is shown for the Viking Raiders and Sarah Logan
  • LA Knight def. Ricochet by pinfall
  • Sami Zayn tries to rally the Bloodline but Jey Uso tells him he’s going out to the ring despite Roman Reigns’ wishes, and Jey says it’s not a Bloodline thing: it’s an Uso thing
  • Bray Wyatt isn’t happy about being interrupted when he’s doing something important, and there are flashes of his dark side as he asks a backstage technician to apologize … but Bray manages to push them aside and let the guy go when he says he’s sorry
  • The New Day warn The Usos that if they get past the Brawling Brutes, they’ve got next, then join the Brutes in beating down the Usos until Zayn and Solo Sikoa arrive
  • Shayna Baszler def. Natalya by submission with Ronda Rousey cheering her on, then bloodies Natalya after the bell with a shot to the face
  • Braun Strowman runs through five Local Talent types hand-picked by MVP
  • Legado Del Fantasma intends to make an example out of Shinsuke Nakamura
  • Gunther def. Rey Mysterio to retain the Intercontinental Championship
