The Usos accept the challenge. Next week, we'll have the WWE Tag Team Unification Title Match. As the Usos and Roman hold their titles up, Riddle pops Roman with a flash knee strike before RK-Bro bail out.

That's right, folks! The Unification Match is set for next Friday!

Randy Orton stands up for his long-time rival, saying that John Cena is ten times the Superstar Roman Reigns could ever be. Riddle says before he goes to sleep he watches old matches, and last night he watched the six-man from Backlash, leading him to want that unification match back on the table.

Reigns gives Jimmy Uso a mic, but before he can answer, RK-Bro appears.

The crowd acknowledges Roman Reigns as he gets ready to address RK-Bro. Reigns goes over his previous victims, John Cena and Brock Lesnar, specifically. There's nobody left for Roman Reigns. After defeating Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro at Backlash, there's no one left to beat. However, The Usos still have a challenge from Randy Orton and Riddle. So what are they going to do?

Michael Cole is calling The Bloodline the most dominant faction in the history of the WWE. Do you agree?

Sami Zayn explains his case to Paul Heyman, hoping that Roman Reigns isn't mad at him for accepting a match on behalf of The Bloodline. Heyman promises that the Tribal Chief appreciates him, leaving Sami on the floor weeping tears of joy.

Next up, The Usos answer the challenge of RK-Bro! Are we getting that unification match?

Fight Night gets a chant going, and Butch lays out Kofi with a big shot. As he goes for the kill, though, Kofi responds with a double stomp to the chest. Ridge distracts Kofi, leading to Woods pulling him off the apron. Woods is met with a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, and a distracted Kofi is planted with the Bitter End by Butch!

Butch defeats Kofi Kingston via pinfall.

Kofi Kingston fires off on Butch and ducks a clothesline, stacking up the scrappy brit with the S.O.S. Butch kicks out at two and tears at the earlobe of Kingston.

Kofi sends Butch to the floor and fakes a dive, aggravating his opponent while Xavier Woods plays on Francesca. The New Day have gotten into the head of Butch. Hopefully he doesn't just run away again.

Butch quickly takes down Kofi Kingston with a clothesline and mounts the former WWE Champion for a series of punches and forearms. Butch tears at the fingers of Kofi, looking to break him down piece by piece.

Ricochet is giving Drew Gulak a pep talk backstage. Thanks to that, the former Cruiserweight Champion is amped up, promising to stand up to Gunther. However, when he turns the corner he runs into Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. Gunther tears his shirt off, knocking him to the floor with a hellacious chop to the chest. Poor Gulak.

Next up, Kofi Kingston gets a shot at Butch!

A disaster kick rocks a fresh Natalya, giving Naomi the chance to tag back out. BossGlow goes for their finish, but Nattie breaks out and hits Sasha with a discus lariat. Nattie goes for a sharpshooter, only for Naomi to roll her up instead.

Naomi and Sasha Banks defeat Natalya and Shayna Baszler via pinfall.

Naomi finally tags in, taking Shayna to the floor with a crossbody. Back in the ring, she hits a crescent kick, a running elbow, and a seated jawbreaker. Shayna responds with a boot, stacking her up and using the ropes. Unfortunately for the challengers, the ref sees their attempt to cheat.

Shayna and Natalya have been tearing Sasha Banks apart throughout the break. The Hart Attack connects, and Shayna goes for another submission before Naomi breaks things up.

Sasha Banks wears down Natalya, but the Queen of Harts is able to get to the ropes to break up a submission. As Sasha locks in another one, Shayna Baszler stomps on the champion before going for a chop block.

Corbin wraps the chair around Madcap's neck after wearing him down a bit more. He then takes the Andre the Giant trophy and drives it into the chair! What has Corbin done to Madcap?

Moss says that match against Corbin at Backlash was the biggest in his career, but it was close. In fact, he was almost bored into submission. But he persevered, toppling the Big Bald Wolf. What's next? A mixed tag team with Sasha Banks called Madcap Boss, perhaps? Before he can go on, he's attacked by Happy Corbin with a steel chair.

Kayla Braxton is in the ring, awaiting the 2022 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner Madcap Moss. Moss defeated Happy Corbin at WWE WrestleMania Backlash and is on fire at the moment.

After the match, we see both Shotzi and Aliyah telling Adam Pearce they were trying to get to the ring but were cut off. Shotzi claims Raquel stopped her, while Aliyah says Shotzi held a door closed preventing her from making it to the ring.

After the match, Ronda offers her hand in respect, and Raquel takes it. A great match for the newcomer and a great first defense for the champ.

Rodrigues breaks away from an ankle lock and nearly takes Ronda's head off with a big boot! Ronda goes up for a powerbomb, and it seems all hope is lost for the new champion! Somehow, she counters with a hurricanrana, rolling Rodriguez up for a three-count, narrowly escaping disaster!

Ronda Rousey defeats Raquel Rodriguez via pinfall.

Rodriguez counters Piper's Pit, spinning Ronda around with a spin-out sidewalk slam. As she goes for the Chingona Bomb, though, Ronda holds onto her arm for an armbar. Rodriguez is forced to drop Ronda across the top rope to break the hold.

A series of slams and strikes seemingly left Ronda in a bad way, but the Baddest Woman on the Planet turned things around with a guillotine choke. At least, that was until Rodriguez turned that into a suplex for another nearfall!

Raquel Rodriguez launches Ronda Rousey into the corner with ease, following up with a clothesline that nearly takes the champ out of her boots. Rodriguez tosses Rousey overhead with a few fallaway slams, following with a slingshot corkscrew press for a two-count.
