Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 21, 2026

Penta heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Penta says that last Monday night was one of the biggest nights of his life, as he fought for the World Heavyweight Championship in front of his friends and family, his fans, his people, and the world. Penta says that Roman Reigns was the better man that night and that he respects him, then tells him that this is not over, that he wants another fight and that he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. He says that this is only the beginning, then "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up. Dominik says nobody cares about Penta's hopes and dreams, and that the people would rather hear from someone who stood talk in Mexico like them, as they left El Grande Americano, Stephanie Vaquer and Rey Mysterio laying. McDonagh says he does not even know why Penta is talking about the World Heavyweight Championship, as he had his shot and lost, and tells him to go to the back of the line as Dominik wins Money in the Bank and the title before he ever gets a shot again. Dominik then tells Penta to put some respect on his name, for Penta is just a luchador while he is the king of the luchadors. Penta calls Dominik "el rey de los pendejos" and says that Dominik's father is the only king. Dominik and McDonagh jump Penta immediately for this, but Penta fights back as they are about to put him through the announce table. Dominik and McDonagh soon retreat.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) ask Jacob Fatu what they will do about 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Jacob says they have to play it low and play it slow every day, and that the wrong move is to make the first move. Solo Sikoa shows up pretending to wave a white flag and says that 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) will not stop until everyone is finished and that they all have to work together. Jimmy says Solo is only here looking for protection, and Jey wants Solo to acknowledge him and Jimmy as captains and acknowledge Roman Reigns as tribal chief. Solo says that is not going to happen. Jey tells Solo to leave, which Solo does after "Back to the drawing board, then," and Jacob tells The Usos that they just made a big mistake before walking out of the room.

Roxanne Perez beats La Catalina and Iyo Sky in a women's Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifer after Iyo Sky hits Over the Moonsault on La Catalina only for Roxanne to hit Pop Rox on Iyo Sky.

Backstage, LA Knight meets with Solo Sikoa, saying that they need to lay low as he tells Solo not to join The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) or to cash in on him after winning Money in the Bank before they focus on 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Solo says he would never do that before bumping fists with Knight and leaving.

LA Knight heads to the ring. LA Knight says that Roman Reigns and Penta gave their all last week even though Penta came up short, then addresses Money in the Bank, proclaiming that he will become World Heavyweight Champion. Knight says it has been three years of him being the uncrowned champion after everything he has been through, then says that he is "the plans." He says that Reigns wants to be acknowledged, and while he acknowledges Reigns' greatness, the fans have been behind him. He says that the fans want him to have a title shot, but deep down, the fans feel like it will never happen after everything he has been through and after he has not won the big one. Knight also admits he has wondered if anyone can beat Reigns, including himself. It wasn't until The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) failed to run into the ring that he realized that Roman Reigns wants to rewrite his legacy as a fighting champion who can win on his own, and that Reigns has never been man enough to beat him on his own. Knight says that if this is the case, more power to Reigns, as he made his case last week again and he will make it again, as he had never needed anyone's else help to beat anybody and he is the most self-made man in the game.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Je'Von Evans. Je'Von finds out that he is the youngest Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitor at the age of 22, and says that he will be the youngest Money in the Bank winner in history. The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) shows up, with Logan Paul saying Je'Von is dumber than he looks. Bron Breakker approaches Je'Von and congratulates him on qualifying before declaring that Money in the Bank is his. Je'Von Evans challenges Bron Breakker to his match, then notices that he is outnumbered five to one before slapping Breakker in the face.

Je'Von Evans beats Bron Breakker by disqualification after Austin Theory trips Je'Von off the top before Je'Von can hit the OG Cutter. After the match, Breakker and Theory gang up on Je'Von Evans. All of a sudden, Oba Femi shows up for the first time in weeks and overpowers them both, and when Bronson Reed hits him with a splash, Oba Femi strikes back. Oba stops Logan Paul as soon as he brings a chair into the ring, and Oba swings for the fences before Bronson gets the better of him. Bronson tries to swing the chair at him, but Oba uppercuts him and smashes the chair right into Bronson's back. Oba then lets Je'Von do the honors, and when Je'Von leaps over the top rope, Oba catches him and throws him into The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory).

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry is seen in the front row.

We hear from 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Royce Keys tells The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) that they are not firing any more warning shots and that they are crossing the line.

We see footage from earlier today where Joe Hendry performs a live impromptu rendition of "JD McDonagh is a Funko Pop" in the arena.

The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) heads to the ring. JD McDonagh says that everything with Joe Hendry and the Funko Pop is sad, not funny, and that all he sees in the fans are losers with low self-esteem projecting their insecurities at him, and promises that none of it affects him and that he does not care what everyone says. He says that it is affecting his family, that his mother is stressed out over this, and that this must end before stating that he has a normal-sized head. Raquel says that as a fellow Texan, she is embarrassed by the fans' behavior and calls them all "haters," and says that Liv Morgan's music video is much better than Joe Hendry's. Liv Morgan says that they got to embarrass El Grande Americano, Stephanie Vaquer and Rey Mysterio last week, then says that Vaquer cannot hide from her forever and that what happened in Chile was a tragedy. She also calls her loss of the Women's World Championship a conspiracy that both Vaquer and Becky Lynch were in on, then dares Vaquer to defend against her so she can prove she is the best Women's World Champion of all time. Becky Lynch suddenly shows up in the crowd. She says that Liv Morgan must be embarrassed and that McDonagh's mother is stressed that McDonagh - who Becky has known since he was 12 - is hanging out with The Judgment Day. She also tells Liv Morgan that there will be no slander towards "Referee Rebecca" before telling Liv to get to the back of the line, as the first shot at the Women's World Championship is hers. Stephanie Vaquer then shows up and says Liv can talk all she wants, as she is the Women's World Champion, and that she won the title on her own. Liv says Vaquer only won because of Becky, but Vaquer says Liv is mad because she wants her title back. She says that if Liv wants a rematch, she can give her one and prove that her win in Chile was not a fluke. When Becky speaks up, Vaquer gives her a match for the title, saying she is not afraid to defend it, and says that the title is hers.

We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who says she had to take extreme measures to separate herself from Bayley, as Bayley took a year off of her career. She says that when she beat Bayley within an inch of her life, she paid the biggest price. She then says it was worth it to end Bayley, move on and move forward and upwards. She says Money in the Bank was her chance, but Bayley is still costing her opportunities when she claims to fight for all women. Lyra says she did not go far enough last time, and she will make tonight's match Bayley's last match.

Lyra Valkyria beats Bayley after sending an enraged Bayley into the ropes before grabbing the tights with a schoolkid pin for the win.

Backstage, Chad Gable meets with Dragon Lee, saying he got out of their match by the skin of his teeth and that he is down for a rematch. Dragon Lee says that tonight, he is going to qualify for Money in the Bank. "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and says Chad Gable is giving people opportunities left and right and is living in his fantasy land trying to leave some kind of legacy, and that he will be waiting for his opportunity when he decides to come back to reality. Gable tells Ethan he had multiple opportunities and lost in all of them, then tells Ethan to show him something and to stay away from him and his title until he does.

General Manager Adam Pearce is on the stage with a Raw contract as he introduces the newest member of the Raw women's roster: Lola Vice. Lola Vice shows up on the stage and says this means everything to her, as her mother introduced her to fashion and dance while her father made her into an ass-kicker who qualified for Money in the Bank. She says she is here to show the best of both world and prove she is world champion material, and regardless of who qualifies, her fists do not lie and she will knock people out. Roxanee Perez shows up and says nobody cares about Lola's contract signing or her father teaching her how to fight, then says she can teach her a thing or two and prove Lola is levels below her. Lola yells at Roxanne and nearly knocks her out with a spinning back fist.

Backstage, Paul Heyman has been watching Lola Vice when he is approached by Bron Breakker. Heyman says that Oba Femi is still breathing, which is "bad, bad, bad" for The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri). Breakker says that he is still breathing, which is "bad, bad, bad" for everyone.

Before the next match, Solo Sikoa is jumped by 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) and thrown in the back of a black van. The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and Jacob Fatu briefly run after the van, then LA Knight shows up and finds out what happened.

In footage from the commercial break, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio tries to get a bye into Money in the Bank out of General Manager Adam Pearce. Adam Pearce has none of it and tells Dominik to go to the ring.

Before the next match begins, General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and announces that Solo Sikoa will not be able to compete tonight, then says there will be a replacement for Solo: Penta.

Penta beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee in a men's Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifier after Dominik tries to send Penta head-first into an exposed top turnbuckle only for Penta to reverse it and hit Dominik with a springboard Mexican Destroyer to win and qualify.

Here is this week's Raw Recap!

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for September 20, 2026

The show starts with a backstage interview with Richard Holliday, who says that Bodhi got lucky when he eliminated him and that he will take care of him in the ring before telling the interviewer not to disturb him while he trims his mustache. When the interviewer recommends Bodhi's goatee style, this gives Holliday an idea after he runs the interviewer out of the room.

Richard Holliday beats BYP when BYP bumps into the referee inadvertently, allowing Holliday to hit the Signature Move followed by the 2008. After the match, Holliday leaves, then returns to hit another Signature Move followed by a ground-and-pound before shaving BYP's beard.

Delirium (Slade, McCalleon, Skynr) call out 5150 (Danny Limelight and Slice Boogie), with McCalleon saying that 5150 will choke on their trash talk. Slade says they will take the tag team titles and they will not ask nicely.

Bryce Saturn beats Rob McKnight after shoving the referee into the ropes, allowing Saturn to toss McKnight off the top rope and leap off McKnight's back for the elbow drop and the win.

Bad Dude Tito beats Joe Dashou. After the match, Tito talks about winning this year's Red Carpet Rumble and how he is #1 contender for the UWN World Championship, which he says is "nothing good" for Jordan Cruz. He says it is only a matter of time before he becomes World Champion. He says that if anyone knocks him down, he will keep getting back up and pushing forward, and there is nothing Jordan Cruz can do about it, as the hunt begins tonight.

We hear from 5150 (Danny Limelight and Slice Boogie) backstage. Slice Boogie says Delirium (Slade, McCalleon, Skynr) are delirious to think that they can beat 5150, then joke that they just might steal Carma from them if she is Puerto Rican.

Bateman beats Damian Desire. After the match, "The Conscience" Christian Rosenberg and "The Anomaly" Alex Ace show up on the stage and stare down Bateman to end the show.

Collision Course - Collision recap for September 19, 2026

Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, who says he can apologize for what he did to Francesco Akira, but that would rob Will Ospreay of his responsibility, which would be unfair to him. He says that Ospreay has chose his side of the line and that everything is Ospreay's responsibility, and that it is all about the two of them. Moxley says that his problem with the match is that he is going to win, and that everything Ospreay did will be for nothing and lead to an even longer fall. He says he does not know if Ospreay has what it takes to do it all again, since Ospreay took everything he had and everything he needed. Moxley says he has been at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and he has climbed back up every single day and that nobody understands the cliff Ospreay will fall from at All Out, where he says that Ospreay will be introduced to the pull of gravity.

Darby Allin retains the TNT Championship against Myron Reed. After the match, Zachary Wentz checks on Myron Reed, as does Steven Borden. Darby Allin gives Myron Reed props afterwards, saying that he belongs in AEW. Darby then states that teaming with Sting was one of the greatest honors in his life, and that he and Steven Borden have the chance to become #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships that he and Sting never lost. He says that Borden may be new to this, but Borden will not run away from this, and they will both be going into the fire. Borden admits that he is new to all of this, but he will lay all that he has to offer on the line to ensure Darby is a tag team champion again. If they can do that, he can check off two boxes: being tag team champion and being a champion with Darby. He says they will take the #1 contender stop and the tag team titles.

In footage from after Dynamite, we hear from The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada). Don Callis says that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway were the ones with a lot to lose while he and his men are sterling, and that they will bring the tag team titles back. Kevin Knight says he likes the vision, and that while he and Kyle Fletcher have had pretty good success despite not exactly showing interest in being tag team partners, they have never held tag team gold. Fletcher agrees and says that while he and Knight had a rocky start, he is on board with this, then says that Darby Allin and Steven Borden will be a cakewalk. When Fletcher brings up Okada's loss, Okada tells Tommaso Ciampa to be careful what he wishes for, for if he wants "The Rainmaker," he will get him, but he will not get his title.

Backstage, we hear from The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Juice Robinson blows a whistle and says their record is nothing to be proud of and that they lost an eight-man tag team match recently, then says they are still a team. Juice then challenges The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garica, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) to an eight-man tag match at Saturday Tailgate Brawl before making a bunch of American football references.

Willow Nightingale guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Toxic Spider" Thekla beats Zayda Steel.

PAC beats Adam Priest by submission with the Tombstone Piledriver followed by the Brutalizer. After the match, Andrade el Idolo shows up for the next match as PAC leaves through the crowd. After the match, Andrade is attacked by PAC and Claudio Castagnoli. Jon Moxley shows up as PAC challenges him to a one-on-one match at All Out for the National Championship, saying he beat him once and he can beat him again. When Andrade cusses PAC out, The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Daniel Garica, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) attack him. Francisco Akira suddenly shows up and is surrounded by The Death Riders, and Wheeler Yuta is out in the ring at this point. Akira holds his own, but the numbers game takes over. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up with a metal folding chair before the next match, and The Death Riders clear the ring.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Wheeler Yuta. After the match, Yuta attacks Speedball from behind, and Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir and The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay) join in. The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) soon runs into the ring, and starts a brawl that both officials and security have to put to an end.

We hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that everything one has ever dreamed of is at the other side of the unknown with no guarantee, and that one must beat the best to be the best.

Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Hook, Action Andretti, Anthony Bowens). Hook says he thought "Jungle" Jack Perry was smart, but then he called out Samoa Joe. Andretti says Perry is writing his own fate, and Bowens says that The Opps have a different idea. Andretti takes the camera as "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata walks in front as Hook and Bowens state that Perry will have to go through Shibata first.

Mina Shirakawa and Queen Aminata beat Georgia South and Emily Jaye.

Backstage, we hear from "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, who says that he sees through Chris Jericho and that he taught Jericho a thing or two when he left him laying. He says that Jericho is the one who does not know what he doesn't know.

Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for September 19, 2026

Dustin Starr interviews The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamonte) at the announce desk. Ruffshot Lamonte says he is doing great after therapy and that he is back to cash checks and break necks. Matchmaker King Cobra then shows up and announces that The L.A. Hustler have a match right now. As Ruffshot Lamonte heads to the ring, Dexter Lumis - now going by his pre-WWE name of Sam Shaw - pops out of the crowd. Shaw gets in the ring and crawls around on his fists as he chases Lamonte in a circle. The match begins, and Shaw immediately catches Lamonte for a body slam in the middle of the ring.

Sam Shaw beats Ruffshot Lamonte by submission after The Modern Day Monsters (Warwolf, Marrow, Asa) show up and hold Notorious Bradley back while also distracting Lamonte, who is out cold right after Shaw locks in a submission hold.

Dustin Starr interviews Xya, who has brought referee Arthur Logan with her as she says that she is tired of Raven Black ducking her and cheating to keep the Memphis Wrestling Women's Championship, at the announce desk. Raven Black shows up and tells Xya that the match will happen on her time, but she gets punches in the face by Xya, who throws her into the ring and superkicks her soon after the bell rings to win the Memphis Wrestling Women's Championship...almost. Matchmaker King Cobra shows up and nullifies the match, stating that the match was never officially signed, and makes the match official with the title on the line for today's main event. Right after this happens, Raven cracks a beer bottle on the back of Xya's head and says she will see Xya then.

Backstage, Chuck Swann is on the phone. He says that The Vybe Check (Sevyn Cruz and Jae Pariah) is great, then says that Sevyn Cruz has "some bad mojo" just in time for Sevyn Cruz to overhear him from behind a door.

Vashawn Harvey beats Big John Dalton. During the match, Big John accidentally squashes referee Arthur Logan as he splashes into VaShawn Harvey in the corner, and this allows Marko Stunt to show up, hit Big John with a chair followed by a top rope elbow drop to the back, and then hand the chair over to VaShawn Harvey. VaShawn hits Big John repeatedly in the ribs with the chair, then pins Big John and shoves the chair out of the ring before referee Arthur Logan comes to and makes the slow three-count.

Backstage, senior official David Knight checks on Xya Wolfe to see if she can still compete in today's main event.

Backstage, Marko "Hangtime" Harris meets with Matchmaker King Cobra regarding a rematch with Mike Anthony for the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Championship. King Cobra reminds Harris that he has other obligations, and that the rematch will happen down the line.

Main Event Bradley vs. "The Hybrid" Aries Clark ends in a no-contest when "The Chosen One" Zay Washington shows up with a chair only for Bradley to get the better of him. The numbers game soon takes over as Big Nico 5XL makes his way to the ring. As Main Event Bradley is being laid out, CJ Squared (CJ Money and CJ Blaine) show up, and Big Nico 5XL gets pelted with metal folding chairs as he tries to leave. They ultimately have no effect as Nico absorbs all the damage almost like a sponge and leaves the ring.

Backstage, senior referee David Knight tells Matchmaker King Cobra that Xya Wolfe is able to go, yet he still has his doubts before leaving it up to Cobra's disrection. King Cobra tells Knight that he is not taking Xya's opportunity away and that the match is still on.

Xya beats Raven Black to become the Memphis Wrestling Women's Champion! Before the match, Xya shows up in a daze with a bandage on her head, despite seeming fine backstage earlier. Raven Black underestimates Xya during the match, and this leads to Xya hitting Raven Black with a big boot as Raven charges at her for the pin, the win and the title. After the match, The Bizness Dawgs (Tim Grind and Lil' Homie) show up to celebrate with Xya to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 18, 2026

General Manager Nick Aldis is in the ring to start tonight's show. He says that sometimes, he has to deal with people who rub him the wrong way in his job, and he has to dig deep, wear a smile and stay professional. With that in mind, Aldis introduces Sami Zayn to the ring. Sami thinks that Aldis finds it funny that the crowd boos him and that it must eat Aldis up to declare him the Undisputed WWE Champion, then says it feels good coming out of his own mouth and says that he meant it when justice for him was justice for all. He then says that he fights even for the people who boo him, saying that it is also for them, then says that justice has been served and that the Undisputed WWE Championship is what it looks like. Sami Zayn says that justice is not the only core tenet in his belief system and that he also believes in equality, and says that when other Superstars are knocking down his door, he expects Aldis to treat them like he treated him and make them go through hoops. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae show up and head to the ring, and Sami says he would not be celebrating tonight if it were not for him. Gargano says they would not miss it for the world, then brings up their deal, saying that if they helped him last week, then he is first in line. Sami says that Gargano was the one to say something, not him, and that leads to Gargano demanding that Sami uphold the deal. Aldis steps in and says Sami may be the champion, but he does not make the matches. Aldis says he has CM Punk in mind as next in line, but Punk is not here. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up. Sami tells Aldis to control the roster as Owens heads to the ring, and Owens says that when it comes to people who deserve title matches, he is in the picture. Candice LeRae insists that Johnny Gargano is next, and Owens hits Gargano with a Stunner. Aldis tells Owens that he cannot reward bed behavior, but Owens reminds Aldis that Sami screwed up multiple SmackDown main events to become champion again. Owens specifically mentions Sami costing him a title shot and making a no-contest out of a #1 contender Triple Threat Match in addition to Sami being "an arrogant jackass," all which Aldis notes as true. Sami grabs Aldis by the suit as he demands that Aldis not throw him under the bus. Aldis demands Sami take his hands off him, then makes Sami defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens tonight before asking if Sami can make it past seven days. Sami catches up to Aldis afterwards, but as he talks to him, Randy Orton shows up, shines the front of the WWE Championship, and tells Sami to keep it warm for him before he heads to the ring for the next match. When Owens and Orton meet near the ring, they nod at each other.

We see footage of WWE on tour in South America and Mexico.

Trick Williams beats Rey Fenix and Randy Orton in a men's Triple Threat Money in the Bank Qualifier after Orton RKOs Fenix out of the air only for Trick to hit him with a Trick Shot before pinning Fenix to qualify.

Backstage, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are met by Sami Zayn, who says that "they are trying to do it again" and take the Undisputed WWE Championship. He also tells Gargano that what General Manager Nick Aldis said to him is "crap" and says that he will work on a title match between them. Sami then says that if he loses the Undisputed WWE Championship and he is not champion anymore, Gargano may never get another shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship again. Gargano says he gets it, then Sami says they will get together later.

We hear from The MFTs (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Haku). Tama Tonga says that they became tag team champions themselves and that they needed Shinsuke Nakamura, and that Nakamura made a mistake bringing Kiyoki to WWE, saying that whatever happens to him will be on Nakamura. We then hear from Bakusai (Shinsuke Nakamura and Kiyoki). Nakamura tells The MFTs that they are the prey, not the hunters.

Backstage, Tatum Paxley is lighting special candles as Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss focus on tonight's match. Charlotte blows one of the candles out, and Alexa says that she needs to focus on what she needs to do on her own. Alexa leaves, then Charlotte accidentally blows out the candle for bad luck.

Bakusai (Shinsuke Nakamura and Kiyoki) beat The MFTs (Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa) by disqualification after Haku hits Nakamura in the throat with his cane on the outside. After the match, The MFTs double-team and lay out Kiyoki.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Kevin Owens. Owens mentions Corpus Christi being where he had his first official main roster match against John Cena and won, then says the starts have aligned perfectly and that he will beat Sami Zayn to become WWE Champion. Finn Balor shows up and says it is convenient that Owens has a title shot against Sami Zayn, then says that he is coming for whoever wins tonight, even if he has to win Money in the Bank to do it.

Backstage, General Manager Nick Aldis congratulates Chelsea Green when Danhausen shows up with Aldis' phone in his hand, saying that Gunther is mad at Aldis. Aldis chases Danhausen into his office, then Tiffany Stratton tells Chelsea that she will be in the Money in the Bank qualifiers. They both run into Nikki Bella, who tells Chelsea to keep her name out of her mouth and that she is coming for her title without having to qualify for Money in the Bank because she is a legend.

Michael Cole interviews "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes backstage. Cody admits that he could not pull the trigger on Randy Orton and he does not want to give excuses. On the subject of being called "QB1" and how everyone he celebrated with at WrestleMania 40 have stabbed him in the back, Cody says he should have seen it coming and beat them to the punch, saying everyone gets seduced by the biggest title in the game. He says that this is not the end of "QB1" as there is still a team in the form of those calling the action in WWE. On the subject of facing Randy Orton in the ring again, Cody says he is not immune to the discussions about his morality and says that all his success beyond his wildest dreams came down to knowing who he was and being uncompromised. He says that "uncompromised" led to two Royal Rumble wins, two wins against John Cena, and beating Roman Reigns for the first time in four years, and that he is amused to the belief that he needs to change. Cody says he will face Orton again, and when he does, he will not make the same mistake twice.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin. B-Fab and Michin says they have all mopped the floor with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Tatum Paxley.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Giulia, who says that Charlotte Flair and Lash Legend are in her way just like she is in theirs. The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) show up, but Giulia says she does not like them and she beats up people she does not like. Lash says she will qualify for Money in the Bank and go on to become champion, but Giulia says they will see how that will go after she kicks Lash's teeth in.

Backstage, Lil Yachty talks with Trick Williams. Trick says he has a plan for Baron Corbin, but right now, he is focused on Money in the Bank. Trick Williams and Lil Yachty catch up with Sami Zayn, who takes offense to being called "Gingerbread Man" and demands respect. Trick hopes Sami is still champion when he wins Money in the Bank so he can beat him for championship gold again.

We hear from Damian Priest, who says the real question is why is took so long to get rid of R-Truth, especially after R-Truth put him through so much. He says that R-Truth should have been the one to change and that R-Truth should have let him move on, then says that R-Truth does not get it yet and that he will make sure he does.

Sami Zayn retains the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens following the interference and distractions by Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae and the sudden appearance of CM Punk, who blasts Owens in the face with the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Backstage, Elijah tells Ricky Sosa not to let anyone tell him that he does not belong, then says that they are going to send a message tonight. (The audio for this backstage promo plays inexplicably during the previous match.)

We hear from Frankie Kazarian. He says he did not want tonight's match, but Moose called his bluff and he did not expect Moose to accept the stipulation. He says that Moose has had a stellar career in TNA and has put it on his back and taken it to the next level. Kazarian says he wants to surround himself with people like Moose and says that he will miss Moose, then says Moose kept pushing it even after taking the loss in Chicago and is now paying for it. Kazarian says he must focus on the future of TNA, then thanks Moose for what he has done for TNA.

Ricky Sosa and Elijah beat The System (Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander) after Elijah takes out Brian Myers and Bear Bronson from the top rope. After the match, Eddie Edwards hits Ricky Sosa from behind with a chair before hitting him with a package piledriver. Eddie then tells Sosa that he has been wrestling longer than Sosa has been on this earth and in his time, many guys like Sosa came and went. He says that since words no longer work with him, it is time for action. Eddie then challenges Sosa to a match at Bound For Glory to see if he truly belongs in TNA.

We hear from The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch). Vincent says BDE is losing his mind after his actions from last week, and Dutch says they put him through pain to make him into something greater, but BDE chose comfort - and Rich Swann - over growth. Vincent then says that if BDE wants to do things his own way, then they will let him grow the garden that he thinks will keep him safe.

As per the TNA Injury Report: Xia Brookside has multiple contusions after her match with Gabby Forza, and that she will be out for some time to recover. Leon Slater is still recovering from last week's backstage assault, but he has been medically cleared for tonight's match. Moose and Frankie Kazarian have been cleared for tonight's main event, although Moose continues to have neck issues.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth guests on commentary for the next match.

Leon Slater beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. After the match, Slater is attacked from behind by "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth. Ryan holds Slater down, then throws him towards Nic, who hits Slater with the TNA World Championship.

Backstage, John Skyler - who is holding a pair of red roses as he practices asking Mila Moore out - eavesdrops on a phone call from Mila Moore, who says that she would never date anyone who looks like Skyler. A dejected Skyler drops the roses and walks away.

We hear from Moose, who says that he has thought about his TNA accomplishments and how people have stated that he may have a mistake putting his career on the line, then says a man is at his best when his back is against the wall. He says that compared to Lockdown, Kazarian will get his very best and find out why he is called "the face of the franchise."

Zoey Serrano beats Harley Hudson. Before the match, TNA's head of security has to step between Serrano and anyone that Serrano decides to mess with on the way to the ring. (The Z360 is now known as "Hell and Back.") After the match, Daria Rae shows up and congratulates Zoey Serrano, then says that Harley Hudson has not learned her lesson. Daria directs Serrano to finish her, but Indi Hartwell runs into the ring to make the save. Serrano retreats as Indi calls Daria Rae out for trying to get rid of her and Harley, and Daria tells Indi that she is on borrowed time.

Moose beats Frankie Kazarian in a match with Moose's career on the line. (Had Moose lost this match, his career in TNA would have ended.) After the match, Moose throws a chair in the ring, then grabs Kazarian's crown and takes it to the ring. Moose then takes the chair and smashes the crown with it, much to Kazarian's disappointment.

The show ends with the revelation that Matt Hardy has been laid out backstage. Two people in black pants who are only seen from leg height stand over Matt before walking past him.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
