Pretty Deadly vs. The Brawling Brutes

The commentators run down the lineup for tonight’s show, confirming the addition of Solo Sikoa vs. LA Knight for later this evening. We then learn that Pretty Deadly’s in-ring return will be the first match of the evening as we head to our first commercial break of the show.

When we return from the break, we see Kit Wilson and Elton Prince make their triumphant return, with the injured team member getting out of his wheelchair in grand fashion with a big spotlight at the top of the stage. They make their way down to the ring as a disco ball drops down.

After they settle in the ring, the theme for The Brawling Brutes hits and Michael Cole proclaims it “FIGHT NIGHT!” as Ridge Holland and Butch make their way out. The duo make their way down to the ring and settle inside for our opening tag-team contest. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.

We see Butch and Kit kick things off for their respective teams. Butch jumps into the early offensive lead. He hits a big diving splash to him on the floor and then Holland does the Ten Beats over the Bowery spot as we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break with The Brawling Brutes in the offensive lead.

When we return from the break, we see Kit battering Butch on the mat as the offensive momentum has swung into the favor of the returning Pretty Deadly during the commercials.

Ridge tags in and helps take over for The Brawling Brutes. Elton ends up going down and holding his leg. We get an injury time out, which he then takes advantage of for a roll-up for the cheap heat win.

Winners: Pretty Deadly

Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits Attack Carlito

We shoot to highlights of Carlito’s surprise return as the mystery partner for the LWO at WWE Fastlane 2023 over the weekend. After that, we shoot backstage live with Kayla Braxton, who is standing by with Carlito.

Braxton asks for Carlito’s reaction to his WWE return at Fastlane. He says there’s only one word to describe being back, and that word is “Cool.” He takes a bite of an apple. Bobby Lashley walks up and gets in Carlito’s face.

“The All Mighty” one brags about beating up Carlito on SmackDown the last time he was in WWE. Carlito then challenges him to a match. Lashley says he’s not dressed for one just as The Street Profits savagely attack Carlito from behind. Adam Pearce runs up to calm things down as Lashley and the Profits leave. We head to another commercial break.

Backstage With Damage CTRL & LWO

We shoot backstage upon returning from the break and we see Adam Pearce and the medics checking on Carlito following the attack by Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits.

The LWO are also standing over there friend checking on Carlito. Damage CTRL comes in and start making demands and barking orders about their business, saying it’s more important than what’s going on with Carlito and the LWO.

Zelina Vega takes this personal and she and Bayley end up yelling back-and-forth. Pearce ends up kicking them all out of the area and telling them to go to the ring if they want to fight.

Backstage With The Bloodline: Roman Reigns Talks To Jimmy Uso

We shoot backstage and we see Roman Reigns sitting and talking with Jimmy Uso in The Bloodline locker room. Reigns asks Jimmy about his recent actions and says he’s acting like the quarterback of The Bloodline.

He asks if he was running things, what he’d do. Jimmy says he’d get Jey Uso. Reigns doesn’t like what Jey has been doing, pointing to him running around with Cody Rhodes as a slap in the face. Jimmy says he doesn’t want to slap Reigns in the face.

Reigns tells Jimmy he calls the shots. He asks Jimmy if they’re good. Jimmy says they are. They pound fists to end the segment.

Bayley vs. Zelina Vega

Now we shoot back inside the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. where the Damage CTRL theme music hits. The duo make their way down to the ring for the impromptu match that was just made backstage. As they settle in the squared circle for our next bout of the evening, we head to a pre-match commercial break.

When we return from the advertising time out, we see Bayley in the ring as IYO SKY and Dakota Kai talk to her from the ring apron. Damage CTRL’s theme music dies down and the LWO entrance tune hits. Zelina Vega makes her way down to the ring to a big pop from the Tulsa crowd.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Vega takes it to Bayley early on, dominating the initial offensive exchanges between the two in this singles bout here on the “Season Premiere” of WWE Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.

Bayley ends up turning her inside-out with a clothesline that shifts the offensive momentum in her favor. Bayley mocks and taunts the crowd as she continues to work over the lone female member of the LWO. Vega fights back and connects with a Meteora off the middle ropes for a close near fall.

Zelina looks for a Code Red but IYO SKY hops on the ring apron to cause a distraction. Zelina runs over and hits a modified 6-1-9 to knock her back out to the floor. The distraction does allow Bayley to connect with a Rose Plant on Zelina. She follows up with the cover and gets the pin fall victory.

After the match, they continue to beat down Zelina until Charlotte Flair runs out and chases them off to make the save for a big pop. The commentators hype Paul “Triple H” Levesque making a rare appearance — next. On that note, we head to another commercial break.

Winner: Bayley
