WWE SmackDown Salt Lake City, Utah
The commentators are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
– Tonight is WWE SmackDown, the blue show starts with images of what happened between the OG Bloodline and the New Bloodline last week, including the returns of Paul Heyman and CM Punk. The commentators welcome us then Bianca Belair’s clan for the WarGames arrives. Rhea Ripley says that no one on this team is really friends but that’s okay because at Survivor Series they will be competing in one of the most dangerous matches, the WarGames; and they all have someone they want to confront. Naomi says Nia Jax and her minions are going to get what they deserve, they’ve been nothing but trouble for her and Bayley. Bianca Belair says one of them attacked Jade Cargill and they will all pay for it at WarGames. Rhea Ripley tells Liv Morgan she’ll regret meeting her. Iyo Sky says they will destroy them but Liv Morgan’s music plays. The opposing team arrives on the scene.
Liv Morgan says it’s funny how confident they are going into Survivor Series. Nia Jax asks Bianca Belair if she forgot that Bayley and Iyo Sky tortured her for years? Does Bayley remember that Iyo Sky betrayed her? Their team will implode even before the match. Bayley tells them that Tiffany Stratton doesn’t realize Nia Jax is manipulating her and she might find herself friendless after the WarGames. Jax tells him that Bayley knows what it’s like to have no friends. Liv Morgan says she finds it interesting that Jade Cargill was attacked and Bayley is now on the WarGames team. Rhea Ripley tells her to shut up and once in the cage, she will no longer be able to escape and will have to face him. Liv Morgan says she’s right and the champion will finish her. Rhea Ripley says she’s going to disfigure her face so much that Dominik Mysterio won’t want to look at her anymore.
Liv Morgan’s clan advances but ends up retreating. Rhea Ripley says she hates waiting and a fight breaks out between the two clans. The officials arrive to separate the wrestlers.

– We find Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman sitting at a table. Reigns asks him where he is, but Heyman doesn’t know. Reigns tells him that CM Punk is keeping him waiting and was going to leave, but Punk comes in saying he doesn’t have much time. He didn’t come for himself, but for Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns says he doesn’t need his help. CM Punk replies that he doesn’t necessarily want to help him, he is there for Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns says he is happy for them. He doesn’t like her tone, her attitude. He doesn’t like him and he clearly doesn’t want to team up with CM Punk at WarGames. Paul Heyman tells Roman Reigns that Solo Sikoa has had them completely cornered since the Friday after WrestleMania. If they don’t accept CM Punk’s help, it’s over.
Heyman tells Punk that if he doesn’t help them at Survivor Series and Sikoa comes back to Reigns, Punk will be next. United, they will survive. CM Punk tells Roman Reigns that he doesn’t care if he doesn’t like his attitude. Punk doesn’t like him either. CM Punk wants to avenge Paul Heyman but he has a favor. Roman Reigns asks what favor. Punk replies that Reigns doesn’t owe him anything, it’s Paul Heyman who owes him a favor.
