When we return from the break, the reigning and defending undisputed WWE women’s tag-team champions Kayden Carter and Katana Chance make their way out to the ring. As they settle in the ring, Bayley and Damage CTRL are introduced. Bayley is on special commentary while the rest of the group stands next to her.

The theme for the former undisputed NXT women’s tag-team champions hits and out comes Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. They settle into the ring and their music dies down. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this title tilt.

Fyre and Dawn immediately charge across the ring and sneak-attack Carter and Chance as soon as the bell sounds. Carter is covered but kicks out at the count of two. We see some more back-and-forth action and then we see The Keg Stand for the champs to retain.

After the match, The Kabuki Warriors from Damage CTRL come to the ring with the champs title belts in their hands. They seem to challenge them for them and the champs seem to accept. After this, we head to another commercial break.

The Final Testament To Face-Off-With The Pride

We shoot backstage and see AJ Styles talking with The O.C. members Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Michin. They tell him they’ve got his back tonight. He walks off.

After this, we shoot to a video package where the newly formed faction known as The Final Testament appear. Karrion Kross responds to comments from earlier in the night from Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. They end up challenging them to a face-to-face meeting next week.

Carmelo Hayes & Austin Theory To Run It Back Next Week

Footage is shown of Carmelo Hayes and Austin Theory’s scary situation from last week. They mention how Hayes returned to the ring on Tuesday’s NXT, but Theory is still on the sidelines.

Back live, we see Cathy Kelley introduce Hayes. Hayes is asked to talk us through what happened. He mentions how some are built different than others.

Austin Theory approaches him with Grayson Waller by his side. After they have some words, Hayes challenges Theory to a match next week. Theory turns it down but then Waller speaks up and accepts it on his behalf. Hayes says he’ll go to Aldis now. Theory tells Waller he has to stop doing that.

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles

In the arena, the theme for AJ Styles hits and out he comes for our next match of the evening. As he does, we head into a pre-match commercial break. When we return, the familiar sounds of LA Knight’s music hits and out comes “The Mega Star.”

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Early on, Knight does well and the crowd is fully behind him. We head to a mid-match break as Styles starts to take over. When we return, we see all hell start to break loose.

Jimmy Uso comes out as a distraction, and Solo Sikoa hits the ring to take out both Knight and Styles. He gets on the mic and mentions how he’s got two down and one to go. His match against Randy Orton is up next. We head to another break with him in the ring.

Winner: No Contest

Solo Sikoa vs. Randy Orton

It’s main event time!

When we return, we see Solo Sikoa standing in the ring awaiting the arrival of his opponent for this, our main event of the evening. The commentators point out that SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis is sitting at ringside for this one.

The theme for Randy Orton hits and out comes “The Apex Predator” to a huge ovation. He settles in the ring and the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Solo starts off strong, but Orton starts to fight back. We head into a mid-match commercial break on that note.

As we settle back in from the break, we see Solo still dominating the action when finally Orton starts to hit his big offensive comeback. He hits a draping DDT on Solo off the ropes and then all hell breaks loose as Jimmy Uso comes back out.

LA Knight and AJ Styles run out to make the save and then Orton hits an RKO on Solo in the ring for the win. After the match, Orton, Knight and Styles are all alone in the ring. Knight lays out Styles and as he’s talking trash to him, Orton keeps up behind him.

He turns and Orton takes him out with an RKO. Styles stumbles back to his feet and Orton turns and RKO’s him as well. Roman Reigns then appears in the ring behind Orton and takes him out with a Superman Punch. Orton, Knight and Styles are all laid out with Reigns standing tall and smiling.

He looks down at SmackDown G.M. Nick Aldis at ringside and asks for the contract. He hands it to him. Reigns signs it. After he inks the contract, he goes to hand it back to Aldis. Aldis reaches for it but Reigns throws it down to be a jerk. Reigns backs into the corner and waits for Orton to get up.

When he does, he charges at him but runs into an RKO from Orton as the crowd explodes. Orton’s theme hits and that’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Winner: Randy Orton
