WWE SmackDown Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The commentators are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
– Tonight is WWE SmackDown, the blue show starts with the commentators welcoming us then we see the Superstars arriving in the arena. Cody Rhodes then enters and tells Kevin Owens that he has crossed the line. He knows he’s behind the scenes, so come now! Kevin Owens is not coming. Nick Aldis comes in and says they’re all pissed. He doesn’t want wrestlers to end up in wheelchairs. It’s a tough time getting into WWE and both know they’ll do anything to get big paychecks, but going overboard is not acceptable. Kevin Owens has crossed the line and he can’t be here until this matter is resolved. Cody Rhodes responds that Nick Aldis is making Kevin Owens a martyr. He gives him exactly what he wants. Let Nick Aldis let him handle this. Nick Aldis reaffirms that Kevin Owens will not be able to return until this matter is resolved internally.
Cody Rhodes asks him to be honest for a minute. Aldis is in his role, he must remain objective, but he was a wrestler. How would he feel if he had to call his wife and loved ones to tell them about a neck injury caused by Kevin Owens? At WrestleMania, he was on Randy Orton’s shoulders and Orton told him, “I’m proud of you.” Randy Orton is now on the sidelines and it’s because of him? If he can’t settle this matter in a WWE ring, should he go home and kick his ass in his backyard? This is not what Nick Aldis wants to see from a champion. It’s up to Nick Aldis to decide and he won’t have to wait long.
– Backstage, Jimmy Uso was on the phone with Roman Reigns. He tells Jey Uso and Sami Zayn then says Reigns wants to see them for WarGames. Jey Uso reminds us that we still have to find a fifth partner. Sami Zayn says he can ask someone.
Premier tour Tournoi Women’s United States Championship – Triple Threat Match
Bayley vs Candice LeRae vs B-Fab
At the end of the match, B-Fab sends Candice LeRae out of the ring and attempts a hold on Bayley but the latter avoids it and follows up with a roll up.
Winner: Bayley
– Behind the scenes, the Street Profits support B-Fab after his defeat. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven arrive and make fun of his loss. B-Fab asks them what they’re going to do if they both make it to the finals, but maybe they should worry about something else in the meantime. Michin arrives with a kendo stick and Green and Niven end up leaving.
– LA Knight enters for an open challenge. He gets on a mic and says he’s still United States Champion after Crown Jewel. Now there’s Sami Zayn who wants him to be part of WarGames, but that’s not his problem. He doesn’t need it. Here he doesn’t defend this title twice a year like Logan Paul. So he launches an open challenge!
The music of the Legado Del Fantasma sounds and the clan arrives. Santos Escobar tells LA Knight he likes listening to himself talk too much, it’s time someone shut him up. Elektra Lopez can become the first United States Champion and she believes she can bring the United States Title to her family. LA Knight cuts him off saying that he feels Berto’s insistent gaze who doesn’t stop looking at him. LA Knight offers the open challenge to Berto who attacks him!

– Back after the commercial break, Roman Reigns arrives in the locker room. Sami Zayn tells him that they went to RAW and SmackDown and found no one. They do not have a fifth partner. Solo Sikoa’s music sounds and the Bloodline enters. During the entrance, Roman Reigns gets up and leaves. He is followed by the Usos and Sami Zayn.
In the ring, Solo Sikoa asks Milwaukee to recognize him. Roman Reigns’ music hits and he arrives with the Usos and Sami Zayn. The OG Bloodline comes face to face with the new Bloodline and a fight breaks out!
Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu come face to face in the ring… but Bronson Reed arrives to attack Reigns from the back! The Usos and Sami Zayn return to the ring to defend Roman Reigns, the fight continues.
Roman Reigns defeats Tonga Loa ringside. Tama Tonga hits Reigns and brings him back into the ring. The OTC does a Superman Punch on Tama Tonga, a second on Jacob Fatu, a third on Bronson Reed… but he is stopped by Solo Sikoa and his Samoan Spike. Fatu continues with a Moonsault on Reigns, followed by a Tsunami from Reed. Officials arrive to put an end to the attack.
The new Bloodline and Bronson Reed celebrate on the ramp, while Jey Uso tells Roman Reigns to “call”… but who?
– WWE releases a video of Kevin Owens posted on social media, in which he claims that he was banned from coming tonight for what he did to Randy Orton, when he was just doing his job. Randy Orton invited him to come, he came. Now he’s in trouble because he hurt Orton. Nick Aldis called him to come to Salt Lake City next week because Cody Rhodes wants him there. Kevin Owens will be there, not for Cody Rhodes, Nick Aldis or WWE. He’s doing this for himself, he’s just doing his job.
