Live Coverage.
- Michael Cole & Corey Graves welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
- Roman Reigns & Jimmy Uso kicked off the show to address the events of WWE Crown Jewel, but they were interrupted by Jey Uso and Sami Zayn. Zayn said that what happened at WWE Crown Jewel made him reminisce of their time together as The Bloodline and told Reigns that if Reigns wanted him out of the Bloodline business he would do it, but he believed Reigns wanted The OG Bloodline reunited and Zayn was willing to do it if Reigns apologized to Jey. Reigns apologized for even wasting his time with Zayn and said that Zayn wasn't family before calling out Solo Sikoa; however, Jacob Fatu responded and said that Solo does not respond to anyone and he does things on his own time.
- Jey Uso confronted Reigns backstage and told him to speak with Zayn, but Reigns responded by saying he did not need to hear Zayn out and told Uso that if he cared for Zayn to look for him.
- Bayley def. Candice LeRae via Pinfall (Stacked Pin).
- Johnny Gargano spoke with The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) and wished them luck tonight. Tomasso Ciampa confronted Gargano and was frustrated with that situation and said they would send a message tonight.
- Randy Orton came to the ring and immediately called out Kevin Owens to come to the ring. Owens appeared and immediately brawled with Orton. Referees and producers tried to stop the brawl, but everything came to a stretching halt after Owens picked Orton up and hit a Spike Piledriver on Orton's heavily damaged neck. Orton was carried out by medics on a stretcher.
- #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) def. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) via Pinfall (Fairy Tale Ending from Ciampa on Prince).
- Tiffany Stratton confronted Candice LeRae before she was interrupted by Nia Jax asking her why she booked the match between them against Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, which Stratton justified by saying they could rule the Women's Division with an Iron Fist if they beat Belair & Cargill tonight.
- Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill def. Tiffany Stratton & Nia Jax via Pinfall (Kiss of Death from Belair on Stratton).
- Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) def. A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) via Pinfall (Skull & Bones on Waller).
- #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) confronted WWE Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) but they were interrupted by The Pride (Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab), who revealed that they would be challenging for the titles next week. Ciampa was irate by this.
- Nick Aldis had a vignette backstage, where he announced that there was a new title being created, the WWE Women's United States Championship. The title will be earned and moe details will be revealed in the near future.
- The Bloodline (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu & Solo Sikoa) came to the ring for his Tribal Chief Ceremony, but they were immediately interrupted by Roman Reigns. Reigns said he did not acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief and challenged Sikoa to a singles match; however, that was declined by Sikoa, who instead proposed a War Games Match between his crew (and Sami Zayn) against any other four men of Reigns's choosing. Zayn appeared on the ramp, leading to The Bloodline to attack Reigns. The Usos tried to make the save but failed thanks to Fatu; however, things evened out after Zayn got in the ring and booted Sikoa in the dome, which led to Reigns hitting a Spear on Sikoa. The OG Bloodline put the ones in the sky and stood tall to end the broadcast.
