*Live from Salt Lake City, UT.
*Roman Reigns & the Bloodline to the ring…the Wise Man says Solo Sikoa was sent by the Elders of the Samoan Dynasty…he’s the new Enforcer…Roman reminds Sikoa that he now answers to the Tribal Chief…Sikoa acknowledges Roman…Sami Zayn makes it awkward by publicly acknowledging Roman as well when nobody asked…Roman asks why Sami is “tagging along” with them & demands he remove his Bloodline shirt…Sami hesitates, so Jey rips it off him…then Roman hands Sami his new HONRARY UCE shirt & there is much rejoicing (except for Jey).
(1) Liv Morgan def. Lacey Evans…NON-TITLE…Lacey grabs a kendo stick from under the ring…Liv hits a Codebreaker to disarm Lacey & follows with ob-LIV-ion for the win (08:37)…AFTER…Liv picks up the kendo stick but can’t seem to summons the darkness to use it & drops it…she immediately re-thinks it & beats Lacey with it…then sets up a table at ringside & puts Lacey through it with a top buckle senton to the floor.
*Hit Row chatting backstage…Street Profits interrupt…Shinsuke Nakamura joins the party…they’re all excited for the tag title main event.
*Sami Zayn runs into Madcap Moss & Ricochet backstage…they’re busting on Sami about his “Honorary Uce” status when Solo Sikoa wipes them out.
*Usos video package…currently at 432 days, only Demolition (478) & the New Day (483) stand between them & the longest tag title reign of all time.

*Brawling Brutes backstage with Kayla…Sheamus will take on Gunther again in 2 weeks…but tonight Butch & Ridge will become tag champs…because it’s FIGHT NIGHT!
*Drew McIntyre to the ring…he went to the boss & got himself booked to face Kross in a Strap Match at Extreme Rules…Scarlett out to deliver a message…no, she was a distraction so Karrion Kross could attack from behind…Drew gets Kross’ wrist into the strap & delivers some lashes…Scarlett puts herself between Drew & Kross, then blinds Drew with a fireball to turn the tables…when that advantage doesn’t last long, Scarlett delivers a low blow…Kross locks in the Straightjacket & puts Drew to sleep.
(4) Raquel Rodriguez def. Dakota Kai…within a minute Shotzi had seen enough interference from Iyo Sky & Bayley so she races to ringside to neutralize them…Dakota is distracted & Raquel hits a Schoolgirl Roll Up for the win (01:20)…AFTER…Damage CTRL attack Raquel 3-on-1 & Shotzi has to make the save again…Shotzi clears the ring.
