*Live from Lincoln, NE.

*Bianca Belair to the ring…Rhea is injured, so Bianca needs a new opponent…there will be a Fatal 5-Way for the #1 Contender spot…Becky Lynch interrupts, she should get the spot…Asuka out next to bust Becky’s balls…followed by Liv Morgan…hey look, they found Carmella…and here’s Alexa Bliss…that’s five, so let’s go.

*Theory to the ring to give the people more poses…Bobby Lashley sneaks up, squirts Theory in the eyes with baby oil, spears Theory off the posing platform.

*Theory backstage with Kevin Patrick…says Bobby Lashley doesn’t deserve a shot at his US Championship…but if he wants to earn it, he has to win a 3-man gauntlet match tonight.

(3)  Angelo Dawkins def. Jey Uso…Dawkins counters the Uso Splash into a Sky High for the win (07:21).

*Bianca Belair backstage with Sarah…she won’t overlook Carmella…but she wasn’t paying full attention as Carmella attacks from behind to remind Bianca that, “Mella is Money.”

*MizTV with guest AJ Styles…somehow we’re talking about Miz’s “tiny, popcorn balls” again…AJ drops Miz with a mic shot to the head, then gets blindsided by Ciampa out of nowhere as we go to break…bet you’ll never guess where this is headed…
