WWE SmackDown Live Results (April 29, 2022): Beat The Clock "I Quit" Challenge

Thanks for following along with us tonight, folks! We'll see you next week for the final SmackDown before WrestleMania Backlash!

After the match, guest bell keeper Drew Gulak is attacked by Charlotte Flair. The Queen hammers him with a boot to the face before taking him and the bell inside. Flair cracks Gulak on the back of the neck with the bell, laying out the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

Aliyah is the opponent for Charlotte Flair, and she manages to stun the Queen with a wheelbarrow bulldog. However, a crossbody from the top misses. Charlotte nails a big boot with forty seconds left to spare. Aliyah sends Flair to the floor before she can lock in the Figure-8. With ten seconds left, Flair does finally catch Aliyah.

Aliyah does tap. However, it was after the time limit expired.

Thanks to Aliyah's sheer guts and determination, Ronda Rousey picks up major steam heading into their match at WrestleMania Backlash.

Shotzi attempts to break away again, but is ultimately pulled into the middle of the ring. Trapped in an ankle lock, she's forced to submit at 1:41.

Ronda Rousey defeats Shotzi via submission.

Charlotte Flair has quite a short time to beat. Can the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion do it?

Shotzi runs from Ronda Rousey, getting in and out of the ring to add nearly thirty seconds of time to Ronda's clock. Eventually Ronda catches Shotzi, blasting her with a kick to the face.

Due to the actions of Ridge and Sheamus tonight, we'll see them face The New Day in a Tables Mtach next week! Up next, the Beat the Clock "I Quit" Challenge, with Ronda Rousey taking on Shotzi first.

Backstage, Sheamus and Ridge are putting up posters looking for Butch. Turns out, they were just putting their posters on top of each other's, limiting their search to the locker room and parking lot. Ridge is on the way to the ring, but the question is, where is Butch?

The Bloodline lays waste to RK-Bro, but the RAW Tag Champions are saved by Drew McIntyre! The Scottish Warrior has returned to ringside and demolishes The Usos before setting his sights on The Tribal Chief!

Randy shows that it's easy for him to recognize who is who. Jey is the right-hand man. And Jimmy? Well, he's something we can't repeat here. As a brawl erupts (It's a contract signing, what did you expect) Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring!

The Usos remind RK-Bro that they're the twos, because Jimmy and Jey are The Ones. They follow up, saying that Randy Orton and Riddle will have to acknowledge the Bloodline. Riddle is confused, because he simply can't tell his opponents apart.
