Naomi beats Chelsea Green after Bayley confronts Piper Niven on the outside after stopping Chelsea from using the ropes for leverage on a pinfall attempt, and this allows Naomi to counter the Un-Pretty-Her with a Backstabber followed by a bridge pin for the win.
Backstage, Baron Corbin thanks General Manager Nick Aldis for giving him a fresh start on SmackDown when Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel, Berto, Elektra Lopez) show up. Corbin leaves, and Aldis tells Legado del Fantasma that they have been fined for their attack on Apollo Crews and that next time, a fine will be the least of their worries. Santos Escobar is not worried, and upon finding out that Apollo is cleared to compete, he tells Aldis to tell Apollo that he is facing him.
We see a video package for Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
It's time for The Grayson Waller Effect. At the start of the show, another QR code and a message stating "The Reckoning Is Inevitable" is shown. Tonight's guests are #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa). After Grayson Waller tells Johnny Gargano that he would take a bullet for Austin Theory like he did last week, Gargano says he has footage, which Grayson does not want shown as it is because Grayson used Theory as a shield. Grayson says that was AI and not real footage and that Gargano did not show him beating Gargano. Ciampa says he loves not only Grayson's fake confidence, but having a fight for the WWE Tag Team Championships tonight. Grayson says he and Theory will not defend their titles in a place like Glasgow, Scotland and that attempts to drive a wedge between himself and Theory will not work, but Gargano says that they are coming for their championships. Gargano then says he is tired of hearing from Grayson and that he wants to hear from Theory, as they go way back and he has always believed in him. He says he respects what Theory has done on his own, then tells Grayson that he is using him. Theory shoves Gargano to the mat, starting a brawl that ends in Grayson using Theory as a shield again before the set dressing gets destroyed.
Backstage, Kevin Owens is met by The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and B-Fab, and The Street Profits mention their history together and common distaste for The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa). B-Fab tells Owens that they have his back against Solo Sikoa tonight.
Backstage, as Grayson Waller talks to Austin Theory regarding #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa), Bayley and Naomi come out of another room. The QR code from earlier is shown again as Bayley and Naomi run into Blair Davenport, who mocks them before leaving. Bayley thanks Naomi for having her back when Chelsea Green says that the WWE Women's Championship will be hers and Piper Niven's before the two of them attack Bayley and Naomi.
Santos Escobar beats Apollo Crews. During the match, Baron Corbin shows up and beats up Angel and Berto on the outside. Later on, Angel and Berto strike back at Corbin, but Corbin fights them off. This distracts the referee, allowing Elektra Lopez to push Apollo off the top rope so that Escobar can get the win.
Andrade, Cedric Alexander, Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Pretty Deadly are seen in the crowd.
"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Cody says that he thought "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles was going to retire until he tricked him, then says that AJ is starting to become "that guy." As he says that Styles is bent on making him say he quits, The O.C. (Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) shows up. Styles is surprised by how easy it was to get Cody Rhodes worked up, then Cody asks Styles why he is so far away when they could be having a conversation, man-to-man, in the ring. Styles gets in the ring as the Glasgow, Scotland keeps loudly chanting for Cody and tells Cody that they are nothing alike and that it took him seventeen years to get to where he is in WWE. He says that while Cody was welcomed with open arms, he quit when the going got rough, and that Cody also quit New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor and All Elite Wrestling because he could not handle the pressure, for "when the going gets tough, Cody Rhodes gets going." Cody says he walked away from all of those companies because he has never been afraid to leave and chase something greater, and that he has always bet on himself as being something more and that he was right. He says that if he did quit, he would not be standing in the ring as Undisputed WWE Champion, and if anyone quit, it was Styles, as he had to be "Mark Henry for a night" to get another title shot. After Cody says that he will make Styles say "I quit," Styles questions now naturally Cody says "I quit," as he cannot quit being phenomenal, and that he is done when he says he is done. He knows that Cody did not quit in his Hell In A Cell Match against Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, but he will be in the ring with him tomorrow and not Seth Rollins, and he will do whatever it takes to become WWE Champion, including tearing him to a pulp to the point that saying "I Quit" will be a gift to Cody.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and B-Fab. The Street Profits are soon attacked by The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa) for getting involved in their business, and officials have to break up the brawl. Kevin Owens soon shows up to get his hands on Solo Sikoa, and General Manager Nick Aldis has to hold him back.
We see a video package for Zoey Stark and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, who promise to tear their opposition limb from limb and become WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
Tiffany Stratton guests on commentary for the next match.
Nia Jax beats "Michin" Mia Yim after Tiffany Stratton gets in Michin's face and gets thrown across the announce table.
Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Kevin Owens, who says that The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) will not be in his corner tonight and that he will face The Bloodline alone like he has done before.
We see footage of Logan Paul at the Classic Tetris World Championships. After the event, he comes back home and finds out that L.A. Knight is in his pool. L.A. Knight leaves, but not before telling Logan he will see him in Chicago, Illinois.
Carmelo Hayes is in the upper seats, where he tells L.A. Knight that he did not "cook" Logan Paul like he thought he did, and that the difference between himself and Knight is that opportunities chase him. He says that this is why he already has an opportunity to qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match so he does not have to beg for one, and when he wins, he will be one step closer to being "Melo In The Bank."
Backstage, Solo Sikoa is informed by General Manager Nick Aldis that Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa are barred from ringside, and if he sees either of them, The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa) is suspended. Paul Heyman tells Solo that if he loses, he will lose leadership to men who are not deserving of it, but Solo says that if he loses, he will come after Heyman.
Jackie Redmond interviews The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) at the ramp. Alba says that tomorrow night, they will both make history in Glasgow, Scotland, and Isla says they did not come all the way home just to come home and that they will become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
Solo Sikoa beats Kevin Owens after Paul Heyman puts Solo's foot on the bottom rope during a pinfall attempt, which causes Owens to go after Heyman only for Solo to hit the Samoan Spike twice for the win. After the match, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa show up and attack Owens. As Solo is about to hit Owens with the Samoan Spike again, Randy Orton shows up and takes out Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, then gets the upper hand on Solo Sikoa. Tama Tonga gets hit with an RKO, which allows Solo Sikoa to escape.
