Venue: Pechanga Arena (San Diego, CA)

Attendance: ~9,500

• Kick-off with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn both arriving at the same time and Sami walking past Roman to make his entrance. The crowd boos Sami and he says he sees we got some haters in the mouth but how many came to ride or die with the last real good guy? Roman interrupts and joins Sami down in the ring. Roman says he didn't think he'd be saying this and he may the only one in here who'll say this, but it's good to see him. The two hug and Sami says he couldn't feel more the same brother since he had to tell him in person that he understands what he told him all those years ago. The burden, the disrespect, Roman agrees and says these young guys and Sami says they think they're us. Roman says they're skipping a step here and has San Diego acknowledge him and Sami joins in raising the one to the sky. Sami says it feels like old times and nothing changed. Roman says speaking of old times, it's funny that Sami came here since this is old show but he has an opportunity for him, but it may even be a favor. That burden on his shoulder isn't even the most title he's ever had, the most important title he's ever held was Honorary Uce. He says there is something more important to talk about than these titles to talk about and that's the 946. He asks Sami if he's here to be greedy or if he's ready to serve The Bloodline. Sami says The Bloodline was some of the best years of his life but on Smackdown he's the head of his own table now and he is the Undisputed WWE Champion. Roman says that's a title, but what he has is THE title. Sami says it's funny that when Roman held this title for 1400 days this was the A title while the one has was the B title. Sami says maybe the arrogance of the champion is what makes him think that. Roman snaps and says maybe that title hasn't meant shit since Wrestlemania 40! Sami responds saying that they are not going to act like the WWE Championship isn't the hardest thing in the world to achieve, he worked for 20 years to earn this title, this title is one in a billion, there are 8 billion people on this planet but he is the only one holding this title! Sami says he feels disrespected that they are weeks away from Crown Jewel and Roman isn't even sweating him when he knows exactly what kind of threat he is. Roman says if they're looking at Sami's track record he may not even have that title by the time he makes it to Crown Jewel. Roman goes to leave as Penta makes his entrance and blocks Roman's path posing with the MITB Briefcase before going face to face with Roman and then enters the ring. He stares down with Sami as well before his match.

• Roman Reigns is interviewed backstage, he says things seem to get worse week after week with people coming after him and he's just gotta go back to the drawing board before getting in his car to leave.

• Lyra Valkyria is walking backstage and keeps looking over her shoulder as Bayley peaks in and out. She turns and swings at what she thinks is Bayley but strikes Lola Vice instead. Lola asks if that's how it's gonna be then see me in the ring tonight fea.

• Bayley tries to leave through the crowd after Lyra's loss but Lyra jumps the barricade to attack her. She yells at Bayley to get out of her life and lines up to hit Bayley with a knee against the barricade but Bayley throws her over the barrier and Lyra flees. Bayley grabs a mic and challenges Lyra to a no DQ match next week!

• Adam Pearce checks on Stephanie Vaquer in the trainer's room as she's getting her leg taped up. Becky Lynch walks in and asks Vaquer how she's supposed to kick her ass on one leg and tells Pearce to give her the match against Liv Morgan for the title. Stephanie says she's the one who's getting at Liv first and even on one leg she can still kick her ass. Pearce says Lynch and Vaquer will have a #1 contenders match as soon as Stephanie is cleared. Becky wishes Pearce a happy Monday and tells Stephanie to heal up.

• Ethan Page ambushes Chad Gable after his match and beats him down. Outside of the ring Big Cass lays out Mysterio and Dragon Lee as Ethan hits the Twisted Grin on Gable and lifts up the Intercontinental Championship.

• The Usos walk down to the ring armed with a steel chair and a pipe. The crowd chants to run it back but Jey says he can't do that tonight because they got some family business to take care of. For weeks they've been going to war with 946, they took out Jacob Fatu and their brother Solo but now it's just two brothers with nothing to lose and say 946 get your bitch ass out here because this is their warning shot, pow! 946 make their way through the crowd and surround the ring as Royce stands on top of the announce table and grabs a mic. Royce says they got more balls than brain and asks when they're dumbasses are gonna learn that nobody's safe. 946 circle the ring but Solo sneaks from behind and knocks Royce off the table and fends off an attack from Carmelo Hayes. Jey and Jimmy take the fight to Lucien and Nima before diving to the outside. Royce and Solo brawl into the ring but Carmelo takes out Solo with a shot from his crowbar and 946 take the advantage with Price and Nima throwing the Usos back into the ring where they are beaten down. Jaida Parker hands Royce handcuffs and he goes to handcuff Solo to the ropes so he can see what happens next and tells him to warn Roman that he's coming for him. Roman returns! Roman enters the ring and stares down with 946 as The Usos and Solo recover and the 8 men stare off with eachother. The brawl breaks outs with Roman hitting a superman punch to send Royce to the outside and the rest of The Bloodline is able to take the fight to 946 before Roman lays out Lucien Price with a Spear and 946 retreat into the crowd as Roman stands on the ringpost.
