SmackDown

Roman Reigns opens the show.

Paul Heyman says he's incredibly nervous. Knowing Roman Reigns since he was born, everyone knew that this was destined to happen. Tonight, we're gathered here to declare Roman Reigns the Tribal Chief. Not of his family, SmackDown, or the WWE. 

Heyman seems terrified. Roman takes the mic and says he doesn't want Paul Heyman to call him the Tribal Chief, because Jey didn't do it at Clash of Champions. 

He demands Jey to come to the ring, which he does. 

Jey Uso doubled down on everything, claiming that he doesn't know THIS Roman Reigns. The Universal Champion demolished him, but Jey Uso's spirit was never broken. 

What came out of Jey's mouth next may have been because of the possible concussion, but he claims that if Jimmy never threw the towel for him, Jey would be Universal Champion right now. 

Roman Reigns claims that Clash of Champions was the worst night of his life. He was trying to help Jey and give him an honest shot at the Universal Championship. Roman still loves Jey, and goes so far as to say he loves Jey more than Jimmy does. 

Roman believes this is his birthright, and all he wanted Sunday was for Jey to acknowledge him. On Sunday, Jey broke Roman's heart. Roman was still looking to mend things, but Jey kept looking at the Universal Championship. 

Roman gave it to him without question. At Hell in a Cell, Jey Uso gets a rematch for the Universal Championship. Roman hugged his cousin one last time, saying that he still loves him. 

Jey accepts as Roman and Paul Heyman walk away. As Jey stands in the ring, AJ Styles comes out. The Phenomenal One says that Jey Uso matters to him, and he doesn't want to see Jey take that beating at Hell in a Cell. 

Of course, it was all to ask for Jey's opportunity. After all, Jimmy is the better athlete. Well, that was the last straw. Jey Uso tackles AJ to the floor and hits a flying crossbody off the announcer's desk.

Kevin Owens is backstage getting ready for the SmackDown official KO Show with Alexa Bliss. Behind him, a screen flashes, erasing the SmackDown logo for the Firefly Fun House one instead. 

Kevin Owens states that after the WWE Draft, he could be making SmackDown his new home. When WWE offered him the opportunity to come here to host the KO Show, he jumped at the opportunity. HE has a lot of questions for his guest tonight, the Goddess Alexa Bliss. 

Owens claims that the anger and frustration he sees in Alexa Bliss is something he also sees in Aleister Black on RAW. The Alexa Bliss he sees in front of him is not the one he used to know back at the Performance Center. 

Bliss asks if Kevin wants to change and become better. Owens states that he does, which may end up letting The Fiend in. 

Owens feels that if he understands what's happened to Alexa Bliss, he'll hopefully understand what happened to Aleister Black. 

Bliss asks if Owens has ever been around The Fiend. Your spine goes cold, your body numb. When he looks into your eyes, you're unable to get away. Owens claims that Bliss is brainwashed. Bliss admits it but claims its more of a cleansing than anything else. 

Owens knows what's coming, and when Bliss says "Let Him In" he stands up ready for a fight. However, the lights go out, and when they come back up, red, The Fiend has the Mandible Claw on Kevin Owens. 

As The Fiend finishes Owens, he turns around to see Alexa Bliss staring into his soul.

 

 Bliss takes his hand and flashes a wicked smile to the camera before they disappear.

SmackDown

SmackDown opens with an tribute card to Road Warrior Animal.

On Sunday, the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in a ladder match. As two different Superstars have a claim to the championship, both IC title belts will be hanging above the ring during the Clash of Champions match. Tonight, WWE is hosting both belts over the ring ahead of the match.

Sami Zayn and current IC champ Jeff Hardy are now in the ring.

Before they hang the titles up above the ring, AJ Styles has some choice words for both his opponents.

Sami informs us that this match shouldn't be happening.

Sami asks Jeff if he has any idea how dangerous a ladder match can be.

Sami starts to climb out of the ring as AJ and Jeff stand face to face, jawjacking. Sami turns around and pushes a ladder on top of both of them.

As he heads back to the ring, very pleased with himself, Adam Pierce - who I guess is in charge around here these days - tells Sami that he's now in the Styles/Hardy match scheduled for tonight.

Jeff Hardy vs. Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles 

Sami Zayn won 

AJ comes back to the ring and hits everyone with a ladder, then climbs the ladder to pull down the two title belts.

Bayley was out with her new sidekick, the steel chair she used to "break the Boss".

Jey Uso came out on SmackDown and asked Reigns what the deal was last week with the look that he gave Uso behind his back. Paul Heyman came outside the locker room and said that Reigns will answer that face to face, in the ring, tonight.

Baron Corbin vs. Matt Riddle on SmackDown

Baron Corbin won

Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans 

Alexa was having a normal match when we heard the Fiend's laughter that resulted in Alexa spacing out again and SmackDown headed for commercials. We returned to see Lacey in control but Bliss got back momentum with a dropkick.

The Fiend's creepy music came on and the lights turned red when Bliss lost it and attacked Lacey. She kept kicking her on the ground as the referee called the match due to disqualification.

Bliss took Lacey outside and hit the Sister Abigail before The Fiend appeared on the Titantron saying "let me in" and Alexa just laughed and left. As she left, Roman Reigns was making his entrance and she stared at the champion angrily.

Roman Reigns was out on SmackDown with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso came out as well. Roman said he would give Jey the title if he could but Jey wouldn't understand how to be a proper champion. He kept making underhanded insults and said the family depends on Roman as the 'tribal chief'. Roman even sneaked in a: 'it will never be you', for the added burn.

Jey got on the mic as Roman was walking out and said "What if you're wrong?". Jey was getting emotional as he said after Sunday, everyone would know who he is. Roman walked out without saying anything but he came back to hit Jey with a Superman Punch on the ramp and said that he would never take Roman's place at the 'head of the table'.
