Live Coverage.

  • After a video recap of last week's episode, Corey Graves & Wade Barrett welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
  • Cody Rhodes made his entrance and met with Terrance Crawford on ringside. Rhodes then got the microphone and reflected on his friendship with Randy Orton, but said he felt guilty for Orton being laid out by The Bloodline before immediately calling out Solo Sikoa. Rhodes said he looked Sikoa in the eye and told him he was not ready, which led at the time for Sikao to cost him the title at WrestleMania 39, but he was interrupted by A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller). Theory blamed Rhodes for causing Jacob Fatu to attack him, but Rhodes said Waller's knee was the reason Theory's right cheek was swollen. Waller & Theory attacked Rhodes but was given a steel chair by Crawford. Rhodes attacked Waller & Theory with the steel chair, gaining the higher ground.
  • Carmelo Hayes cut a promo while getting a haircut and said he did not want any gimmicks in his match against Andrade, just two hoopers going at it.
  • Cody Rhodes met with Nick Aldis demanding a match against A-Town Down Under, which Aldis granted but told Rhodes he needed to find a tag partner for the match and he had until the end of the night.
  • Andrade El Idolo def. Carmelo Hayes via Pinfall (The Message).
  • Corey Graves moderated a virtual face-to-face between Nia Jax & WWE Women's Champion Bayley. Jax promised to injure Bayley again to win the title from her, but Bayley responded by saying the only reason Jax would injure her was because she was clumsy & reckless before declaring she would walk out of SummerSlam as champion.
  • Bianca Belair (w/ Jade Cargill) def. Chelsea Green (w/ Piper Niven) via Pinfall (O'Connor Roll).
    • After the match, WWE Women's Tag Champions The Unholy Union (Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre) appeared on the titantron and said they would have something for Belair & Cargill next week.
  • Nick Aldis moderated the contract signing between LA Knight & WWE United States Champion Logan Paul. Paul criticized Knight’s looks, but Knight responded by calling Paul an edge lord. Paul listed his successes and said Knight had not achieved anything in 20 years, but Knight responded by saying he was a pretender and did not have the balls to face him, saying they did not run in the family. Paul signed the contract and drew a tiny map of where Knight could stick his dreams of being a champion. Paul & Knight argued in the ring, but Nick Aldis simmered the tempers. Paul tried to hit a cheap shot on Knight, but Knight evaded and went for the BFT but Paul retreated in time.
  • There was a video package highlighting Tiffany Stratton's career.
  • Santos Escobar (w/ Elektra Lopez) confronted LA Knight backstage where he said he was not pinned in their MITB Qualifier, but Knight said if he wanted to prove something to do it next week and that his mom knew Knight's number.
  • "Michin" Mia Yim def. Tiffany Stratton (w/ Nia Jax) via Pinfall (Schoolboy Rol-Up).
    • Bayley attacked Nia Jax and destroyed the Women's Money In The Bank Briefcase, distracting Stratton long enough to get caught in a roll-up by Yim for the win.
  • The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa & Tama Tonga) cut a promo backstage, where Sikoa said tonight's main event of Cody Rhodes against A-Town Down Under better remain as a 2-on-1 match or whoever because Rhodes's partner would suffer.
  • Kevin Owens met with Cody Rhodes backstage, revealing he would team with Cody Rhodes tonight against A-Town Down Under.
  • Kevin Owens & WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes def. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller) via Pinfall (Cross Rhodes from Rhodes on Theory).
    • The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa & Tama Tonga) brawled with Rhodes & Owens after the match. While Rhodes & Owens laid out Tama Tinga & Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu took both of them out before Fatu hit five hip attacks, a diving headbutt, and slammed Owens to the ring post while his head was wrapped in a chair. The Bloodline stood tall to end the broadcast.
