• Damage CTRL def. Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair

Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Shotzi, and Bianca Belair kicked off SmackDown and talked about beating Damage CTRL when Bayley interrupted them.

The Role Model tried to drive a wedge between Becky and Charlotte by reminding them how much they hate each other before saying that being a mom has made Lynch soft.

Charlotte asked where Bayley's team was before Becky challenged any two members of Damage CTRL in a tag match later in the night. Bayley accepted the challenge before SmackDown moved on.

Backstage, Bayley asked her team who wanted to compete in the tag match tonight. The rest of the group seemed uninterested, and IYO said that Bayley and Asuka should face Becky and Charlotte tonight, to which the Empress of Tomorrow also agreed.

The real Kevin Owens walked out as well, and Waller was very confused since they knew that he was suspended.

Owens said he was suspended, but it ended today, and he was there to punch both of them in the face. Theory and Waller were then clowning on LA Knight, who also came out.

LA and KO teamed up and punched Theory and Waller in the face before the two fled the ring.
