Live Coverage.

  • After a video package recapping the events of WWE Bad Blood, Corey Graves & Michael Cole welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
  • Jimmy Uso made his WWE SmackDown return to cut a promo. Uso said that he had been on the shelf for six months because of his little brother, Solo Sikoa, and he thought Sikoa did not have the balls to attack him from behind his crew and said he planned on kicking his ass; however, he was immediately interrupted by Roman Reigns, who asked the crowd to acknowledge Jimmy. Reigns said he was not a mastermind but he was a conqueror and said he did not like being without power and said that he wanted to let every arena he & Jimmy stepped into, they were the ones; however, Uso said they were not because he was a chief without a tribe and said that they needed help and knew one person he can help from, which caused the crowd to start chanting "Yeet", but Reigns responded by saying "No Yeet". Uso told Reigns to think about it because he was the only one who acknowledged Roman.
  • WWE United States Championship Match: LA Knight (c) def. Carmelo Hayes via Pinfall (BFT).
    • Andrade El Ídolo watched the match from ringside.
  • Jimmy Uso was met by WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, who thanked him for the help on WWE Bad Blood.
  • There was a vignette for The Meta Four's Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend, who said they were on SmackDown to take the WWE Women's tag titles from Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill.
  • Kevin Owens appeared in the ring to cut a promo, but the microphone was muted because he was not supposed to be in the arena due to a suspension. Cody Rhodes tried to confront Kevin Owens after the attack on WWE Bad Blood, but Randy Orton and an army of security guards stopped them. Orton tried to calm down Owens, but Owens threw a wild back elbow before Orton blasted Owens with a jab.
  • WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (c) def. The Meta Girls (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend) via Pinfall (DDT/ Wheelbarrow Suplex Combination on Jackson).
    • NXT Champion Trick Williams was spotted in the crowd watching the match.
    • Chelsea Green & Piper Niven were at ringside for the match.
  • WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax & the 2024 Women's Money In The Bank Winner Tiffany Stratton, where Jax put over Bayley for her efforts at WWE Bad Blood and said that she would annihilate Liv Morgan for Stratton to cash in her briefcase. Naomi interrupted and said Jax was still champion only because Stratton interfered and called her shot at the title saying she could do it right now. Jax said she was down and immediately demanded a referee to get to the ring; however, they were interrupted by Raquel Rodriguez, Dominik Mysterio & WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, who said they would watch the match at ringside.
  • Naomi def. Nia Jax (w/ Tiffany Stratton) via Pinfall (Stacked Pin).
    • Raquel Rodriguez, Dominik Mysterio & WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan watched the match at ringside. Rhea Ripley appeared after the match and laid out everyone in her path.
  • Carmelo Hayes confronted Nick Aldis, where Aldis responded by revealing that Hayes would face Andrade El Ídolo in Match Seven. After that, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel Garza, Berto Carrillo & Elektra Lopez) demanded more opportunities. Aldis responded by saying they would face a new team next week.
  • There was a vignette for an act that will debut next week, but one of the stills from said vignette featured the signal "MCMG". There is a chance this act is from Hell, Michigan.
  • After Nick Aldis was dealing with #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) and The Pride (Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab), he got an army of security guards to stop Kevin Owens from attacking Randy Orton backstage.
  • Solo Sikoa (w/ Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa) def. Jimmy Uso via Pinfall (Samoan Spike).
    • Roman Reigns tried to make the save after the match, but Jacob Fatu laid him out. As Uso told Reigns that they needed "him", The Bloodline stood tall to end the broadcast.
