Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Woods are back in the ring. Woods rocks Ashante with a superkick and tags Kofi in. Woods plants Ashante with a gourdbuster, and Kofi follows with a splash. However, Butch breaks things up.

As Kofi is distracted by the chaos on the floor, Vinci tags in for a roll-up. Kofi kicks out, but Imperium hit him with a spinebuster/penalty kick combination. As they hit the Imperium Bomb on Kofi, Ridge tags Kaiser and steals the pin!

The Brawling Brutes defeat The New Day via pinfall.

Next week, the Brutes battle The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles!

It's Butch's turn to fire up, and he runs through all the other teams on the floor with a series of kicks and dives. He lays out Ashante in the ring before squaring up with Top Dollah. Butch pelts the big man with punches, but a big boot lays him out. Kofi leaps in, but Dollah picks both men up on his shoulders. Woods jumps and is caught as well, slamming all three men at once!

Ridge Holland comes in and counters a piledriver. He picks the big man up for an Alabama Slam! 1-2-no! Top Dollah kicks out!

Kofi finally fights off Imperium and tags in King Xavier Woods, who avoids Vinci and Kaiser's offense with ease. Woods hits a big boot and Honor Roll on Kaiser and catches Butch and Ashante running in for a flatliner/DDT combo. A tilt-a-whirl side Russian leg sweep brings down Ridge, and Woods drops Vinci with a Michinoku Driver for a near fall!

Woods is on a roll!

Kofi tags in, but is sent into the corner by Imperium who hit their double basement dropkick combination as we cut to break. Imperium is back in control, could they go on to face The Usos?

Ridge launches Giovanni Vinci overhead, sending him into Hit Row's corner. Top Dollah tags in, slamming Ridge and bringing Adonis in for a near fall.

Butch has Kaiser in the ring, and snaps his fingers while the crowd, and Michael Cole, squirm in horror. Butch follows by trying to break the arm. Ridge tags in, and lifts Kaiser up for a single underhook suplex, delaying for a dropkick from Butch.

#TheNewDay are fans of Imperium's entrance 😂 #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Y9eOGttSGb

Butch takes Ludwig Kaiser to the floor with an enziguri. With the Brutes and Imperium brawling on the floor, Top Dollah launches Ashante "Thee" Adonis to the floor, clearing out both teams. The New Day follow with dives of their own.

It's time to crown new #1 contenders for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions. Who will challenge The Usos next?

Sikoa is nearly pinned by a schoolboy and is caught for a fallaway slam. Before Madcap can hit a destructive maneuver in the corner, Zayn pulls Sikoa to the floor. After chasing Zayn, Madcap is rocked with a superkick from Sikoa.

The NXT North American Champion retains when he plants Madcap with a Yokozuna-inspired spinning uranage slam, the Spinning Solo.

Solo Sikoa defeats Madcap Moss via pinfall.

Solo withstands Moss's best shots and stuns him with a headbutt. Moss fights out of a Samoan drop momentarily, but a pop-up Samoan drop nearly gets him pinned.

Solo soaks in the crowd reaction a bit too much, and is cut off from another hip attack with a front chop block. Moss follows with some right hands, firing off on the champion. A quick clothesline takes Solo off his feet, and Madcap follows with a facebuster.

Moss is unable to get out of the starting block here. Solo launches him into the ring post, catching him on the rebound for a belly-to-belly suplex. He follows with the Umaga-inspired hip attack in the corner for a two-count.

Fun fact: The last time we saw a #NXT title get defended on #SmackDown was when @AdamColePro defended the NXT title against @bryandanielson in 2019!#WWE #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/zLQUr6N9kE

Solo rolls to the floor and launches Moss into the barricade. Sami Zayn cheers on the Street Champion as the latest addition to the Bloodline rocks his challenger with a rolling heel kick.

Solo Sikoa drops Madcap Moss to the mat after a nasty back elbow. A kick to the chest and a falling headbutt leaves the challenger in pain.

It's safe to say @SamiZayn is enjoying this. 👀#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/LXpgaTT4wg

As Solo Sikoa gets ready for his entrance, The Usos say they're ready to go out to the ring with him. Solo stops Jey, saying he's off his game today. Instead, he asks Sami Zayn to join him.

Drew McIntyre stands on the announcer's desk and makes things simple. He calls Karrion Kross out. Kross is obsessed with time, but time is up for him, and vows to deliver a Claymore that will knock his lights out.

Morgan challenges Rousey to an Extreme Rules match, and Rousey accepts.

Kayla Braxton is set to interview Ronda Rousey ahead of her shot at SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan. Speaking of the devil, Morgan interrupts, asking Kayla to leave so they can have a face to face. Morgan reminds Rousey that she's beaten her twice now, and she should have Rousey's respect at this point.

When the trio goes to attack Raquel after the bout, she's saved by an unlikely Superstar. Shotzi runs down, clearing the ring and helping Raquel to her feet!

After catching Bayley with another slam, Raquel is distracted again by Damage CTRL. This time, though, she gets the better of the trio, and hits Bayley and Dakota with a slingshot elbow drop. However, Sky scratches Raquel's eyes when Dakota distracts the ref, allowing Bayley to hit the Rose Plant.

Bayley defeats Raquel Rodriguez via pinfall.

Raquel fights out of a heel hook attempt, but when going for a backslide Bayley kicks her leg out from under her. She hits a sliding rear clothesline, getting a near fall on Raquel.

Bayley eats a big boot but is saved from a splash when Damage CTRL distracts Raquel. Bayley hangs up her opponent's knee in the ring post and kicks it, looking to injure the other half of the former champions.

Before they get involved, Raquel takes out the champions by launching Iyo Sky into Dakota Kai. Raquel is mauling Bayley, hitting a massive splash in the corner and following up with snake eyes across the ring. After that, a spinning powerslam flattens Bayley for a two-count.

Damage CTRL is out next, and it doesn't take too long before Bayley and the WWE Women's Tag Champions are interrupted by Raquel Rodriguez. The former champion rushes the ring, and Damage CTRL leaves the ring. Unfortunately for Bayley, she'll have to get back in. She's set to face Raquel right now!

The Dupri's are in the ring to present the Maximum Male Models and their "Back to School" selection. Ignore the fact that school in the United States started last month and Ma.çé and Mån.sôör aren't children.

Before it goes on too long, these two are bowled over by Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men demolishes both of the models while Max and Maxxine Dupri watch on in fear from the floor. After powerbombing Mån.sôör, Strowman is attacked by the Alpha Academy. Otis slams Strowman into the mat, but Strowman stands right back up and shakes off the assault.

Chad Gable talks Otis out of getting back in the ring.
