Post-match, Solo tries to beat down Orton, but AJ hits a Phenomenal Forearm. Knight then hits the BFT to Solo. AJ and Knight begin arguing again, but Orton hits the RKO on Solo. All three of the babyfaces are standing tall! From there, Orton attacks Jimmy Uso ringside, and AJ follows. In payback from last week, Orton hits Jimmy with steel steps, and Knight throws him over the barricade.

AJ, Orton, and Knight then clear off a table and hit the Shield powerbomb to Solo through the announcer's table! Wow.

Despite their issues with each other, Randy, Knight, and Styles hate The Bloodline far more. Paul Heyman is shown calling Roman Reigns as the show ends.

Jimmy tries to superkick AJ, but Styles moves, and Jimmy hits Knight off the apron. Jimmy and AJ then both go down to a double cross body. As Jimmy is about to tag Solo, Randy's music hits, and to the surprise of some, The Viper is back! Solo looks unusually concerned. Orton is on the apron for the tag, and AJ gets it!

Orton runs in and hits clotheslines and a powerslam to Jimmy. From there, Orton hits the rope-hanging DDT. The crowd is electric for The Viper. Jimmy hits a superkick, but Orton shrugs it off and hits the RKO! This one is over.

Jimmy tags in, and he is cockily beating down AJ. Styles begins fighting back and hits a blitz of strikes. The fans and LA Knight are ready for a tag.

AJ tries to get it, but LA drops down when Solo goes after him. Styles hits the Pele Kick in the ring, and Knight is back on the apron! AJ crawls over, and instead of tagging LA, he yells at Knight for not tagging him moments prior. AJ claims Knight tried to screw him over.

This one should be interesting, as LA Knight and AJ Styles despise each other. They immediately argue over who should start the match. Jimmy Uso attacks to force LA Knight to start the bout. He hits several strikes, but Knight hits a neckbreaker!

AJ tags in and begins hitting big strikes to Jimmy. This leads to loud "AJ Styles" chants. Knight then tags in, and every strike gets a loud "YEAH" chant. The theme continues of AJ and Knight both getting in and showing off. Solo eventually runs in, but AJ and Knight surprisingly work together to attack and send Sikoa to the floor! This is a fun dynamic.

Back from break, it looks like Orton won't be competing after The Bloodline's attack as he walks to the back. AJ Styles is out next, followed by LA Knight to a massive pop from the crowd.

AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso

This will probably be the standard "babyface is injured but returns last minute" routine with Orton. We'll see.

Next week: The Unholy Union will challenge Kayden Carter and Katana Chance for the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles. Plus, Logan Paul will be on The Kevin Owens Show, and Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, LA Knight, and Randy Orton will have a contract signing.

Additionally, Paul Heyman is backstage and says auditions are over, claiming nobody is good enough to help them. Jimmy Uso expresses concern, but Solo Sikoa says he's not worried.

Jimmy says if Solo isn't concerned, neither is he. From there, Randy Orton's music hits, but Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso attack him from behind! Solo even hits The Samoan Spike as referees run out to check on Orton.

Carmelo starts stringing together offenses, including an inverted atomic drop, several strikes, and a flying clothesline. He then hits his tilt-a-whirl facebuster for a near fall! Both men trade pins back and forth. Austin hits an elbow and goes for a suplex but gets a superkick instead. Carmelo goes for The First 48, but Austin is too strong and catches him, putting Hayes on the ropes.

Austin runs over and hits a move off the ropes, but Theory lands on his head. The referee stops this match immediately as the doctor checks on both men.

Carmelo Hayes vs. Austin Theory ends via referee stoppage.

Once we return from the commercial break, Hayes starts fighting back, but Austin hits a rolling dropkick that sends HIM to the floor. Austin taunts the crowd on the apron and throws Carmelo back in the ring.

He high-fives Waller and tries to suplex Hayes to the floor from the ring, but Hayes counters. He jumps to the second rope and brings Theory into the ring. That was a cool counter.

Austin hides behind the referee and then hits a crosschop to Hayes' throat. He lifts Carmelo but is too cocky. Hayes slides out and eventually hits the Fade Away leg drop on the ropes!

Carmelo then hits a slingshot DDT onto the apron as we go to break with Hayes in control.

Austin Theory comes out next for his match with Carmelo. Grayson Waller comes out with Theory.

Carmelo Hayes vs. Austin Theory

This one begins with a lock-up. Waller claims he's undefeated tonight, even though his match with Grimes never officially started. Meanwhile, Hayes puts Theory in a headlock. Austin pulls at Carmelo's hair to counter and then puts Hayes in a headlock.

Hayes counters and hits a chop, followed by a headlock again. Theory counters and the two have a standoff and exchange some more. They dodge each other before Carmelo hits a big dropkick.

Back from break, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits are walking backstage. Paul Heyman approaches them and apologizes for the treatment from Kross. Heyman encourages Lashley to team up with The Bloodline tonight.

Bobby Lashley says he only wants to be in the ring with The Bloodline when he's standing across from Roman Reigns. Is that a teaser for the future?!

Next, commentary promotes Edris Enofe and Malik Blade vs. Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes on NXT. Great cross-promotion.

Backstage, Pretty Deadly offers to help Paul Heyman and unite with The Bloodline. Heyman emphasizes only one can help and the two then immediately bail, leaving Paul alone yet again. Pretty Deadly is too funny. Imagine those two in The Bloodline, even for just one night?

From there, a vignette airs highlighting Carmelo Hayes! He's out next for his match with Austin Theory. The A-Champ's theme is one of the best in WWE today. Austin Theory vs. Carmelo Hayes is next!

Karrion Kross and Scarlett are shown in a spooky vignette. Karrion talks about how he has spent time breaking people on the inside for several years, but now they'll do it on the outside.

Kross re-introduces Akam and Rezar as the Authors of Pain. Kross calls Paul Ellering the most sadistic man in the world. Kross then reveals the stable's name is The Final Testament. That vignette was incredible.

Up next, Bobby Lashley, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford come out. Instead of their usual fun entrance and smiles, they walk to the ring angrily. They have a swag to them tonight. They feel like stars. After their attack last week, Lashley grabs the mic and addresses AOP and Karrion Kross. He said it didn't give them the upper hand; it got them into a fight they couldn't win.

Lashley says they intend to settle things. Bobby says they don't need to hide in the shadows. They go to the ring and fight. He challenges them to come out right now and fight the trio. Lights go out, and Paul Ellering shows up on the ramp. He points to the screen.

Back from break, The Kabuki Warriors, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai are talking. Asuka, IYO, and Kairi look annoyed. When Bayley comes over, Dakota tries to calm things down.

Bayley said she could've used some help, but Dakota said the referee was looking, and all four women thought she could do it alone.

Kai then says Bayley has a rumble to win alone, too. Four of the five members then walk away, leaving Bayley alone.

We go to Kevin Owens next, who talks about what Logan Paul said earlier. Kevin said the cast isn't a liability. It benefits Logan, but it won't stop them from fighting.

Owens says they need to talk about the lawsuit and the rules of their match next week on The Kevin Owens Show! We then go to break after a Royal Rumble advertisement.

Bayley rolls back in the ring after being distracted by her teammates, only to get pinned quickly for a two count. Bianca then hits a spear and the KOD for the win!

Bianca Belair defeats Bayley via pinfall

Damage CTRL not helping Bayley at all is quite interesting. It appeared that Bayley kept encouraging them to get involved, but they never did.

Bianca goes for a moonsault, but Bayley puts her knees up. Bianca saw it coming and landed on her feet, but Belair is pushed into the turnbuckle. Bayley charges. Bianca tosses Bayley to the mat and hits her, running moonsault for another near fall! From there, Bianca lifts Bayley for a KOD, but Bayley counters. She then climbs to the top for an elbow drop and hits it! One! Two! No! This match is cooking.

Bayley gets another nearfall, but the referee catches The Role Model using ropes to cheat. Bayley dodges a tackle from Bianca, and Belair crashes to the floor. She sells her knee as Damage CTRL stands over Bianca. Bayley seemed to encourage them to cheat, but they didn't. Bayley seems frustrated by their refusal to help her.

Bianca unties herself, slamming Bayley against the apron. She then uses the ring post to twist at Bayley's back! Bayley manages to counter, though, slamming The EST into the ring post. The pair leave the ring to brawl, and Bianca slams Bayley into the post this time. Both return to the ring and Bianca slams The Role Model into the turnbuckle and follows it up with a big suplex.

Belair kips up and charges before hitting the corner punches this time. She hits ten, and Bayley tries to do the same trick she used earlier, but it backfires, and she gets hit ten more times! Bianca does a backflip, then a backbreaker for the near fall.

Bianca now fires up. She hits big shoulder tackles and a dropkick. Bianca charges into the corner and hits corner punches on the second rope. Bayley manages to climb out and hang Bianca up on the ropes. The Role Model then hits a running knee.

From there, Bayley ties Bianca's hair to the ropes! She hits a big running knee but misses with the second when Bianca uses her hair to trip The Role Model.

Back from the break, Bayley is in control. "Let's go Bayley/Bayley sucks," chants are heard as Bianca begins to fight out of a hold. Bayley clubs away at Belair to regain control, but Bianca fights out more. Big elbows to Bayley's stomach allow for a pin attempt, but Bayley kicks out and delivers a knee and clothesline in the corner.

The Role Model goes for a whip but gets countered, and Belair hits a big spinebuster!

Bayley is able to use the ropes to reverse a hammer lock, but Bianca's power allows her to take control again. Belair hits a back drop and then a moonsault for another two count.

The Role Models manages to pick up the advantage as loud "Bayley sucks" chants can be heard, but some are cheering her too. Bianca then begins to pick up momentum hitting a slam, only for Bayley to use the ropes for her advantage. Bayley is distracted by her stablemates and the referee, which allows Belair to pick up momentum.

Bianca throws Bayley to the floor then hits a big dive as we go to break!

Next, Bayley makes her way out to the ring. All of Damage CTRL joins her on the stage, and they follow behind her to the ring, too.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley

Bayley and Bianca start, and Belair shows off some power and quickness early on for a near fall. A few more pins are exchanged before Bayley levels Belair with a clothesline! Bianca leaps back up and regains the upper hand, then taunts Bayley by smacking her b*tt toward The Role Model.

Once we return from the commercial break, we see a segment from earlier today. Tyler Bate and Butch are enjoying some coffee, and Bate mentions Butch having a rough time lately. Butch plays it cool like he just needed a tag partner for the night.

Bate says Butch has been lost and trying to find his identity. Butch says The Brawling Brutes are in the past, and Bate says it is time to show what British Strong Style is all about.

Are they going back to Pete Dunne? That seems to be the tease! Finally!

Up next, Bianca Belair makes her way out to ringside. She has a big match with Bayley. Bayley will come out to the ring after the break.

After that, a preview for RAW highlights Jinder Mahal vs. Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes's appearance, and Gunther's return.

A video package highlights Kevin Owens defeating Santos Escobar last week and Owens knocking Logan Paul out.

Logan Paul is then shown cutting a promo. He says the black eye he got came from Kevin Owens' cast. He threatens to sue Kevin if he uses the cast in their match at the 2024 Royal Rumble. Logan says the match will be canceled if The Prizefighter even wears it. That's a fun spin on things.

Back from break, the Latino World order is backstage. Paul Heyman shows up with an apple and tries to recruit Carlito to join him tonight. Carlito says the only fight he wants is with Santos Escobar, but he takes the apple anyway. That's one person rejecting Paul Heyman and The Bloodline so far.

Backstage, NXT's Carmelo Hayes is talking to Nick Aldis. They tease Carmelo potentially signing with the brand, but Waller and Theory interrupt.

Carmelo challenges Waller to a rematch, but Grayson backs out of it. Austin Theory vs. Carmelo Hayes happens tonight instead! "A-Town down bad tonight," says the former NXT Champion. That's exciting!

After that, Carlito's music hits! The "cool" superstar shows up from behind and attacks Santos ringside! They brawl into the ring. The Intercontinental Champion is back!

Unfortunately, Angel got the pin in the ring thanks to using the ropes for leverage. This one is over.

Angel and Humberto defeat Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro via pinfall.

Humberto and Cruz are sent to the floor next, and Wilde climbs to the top rope. Angel hits the ropes, and Joaquin falls crotch first. He's in a lot of pain. Angel then hits a massive slap to Wilde's chest. Angel and Humberto then lift Wilde in the air from the ropes and hit a crazy double military press!

Cruz Del Toro is set into the steps on the floor, and Humberto hits a spinning sit-out powerbomb on Wilde for the two-count. Humberto lifts Wilde onto his shoulders, but Joaquin hits a poison rana. He then avoids Angel, who crashes into the ring post. Cruz hits a dropkick and a beautiful corkscrew plancha onto Humberto! Wow!

Back from break, Cruz begins fighting back after seemingly worked on throughout the entire break, but Angel and Humberto are too good together and keep the upper hand. They hit a really cool cutter combo into a dropkick to maintain control.

Cruz eventually counters out of a back drop and tags Wilde in. He hits big dropkicks and clotheslines to Angel and fires up with big punches. He reverses and Irish Whip and hits a back slide followed by a spike DDT. Humberto breaks up the near fall.

Back in the ring, Humberto and Cruz go at it, but a blind tag allows for Angel to pull up the ropes and send Del Toro to the floor. From there, the pair hit a cool running knee and again let Del Toro fall to the floor as we go to break.

Santos Escobar will be on commentary for this bout. Zelina Vega, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro are out next.

Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde vs. Angel & Humberto

This match starts with chaos as Santos says the Latino World Order isn't the real LWO, emphasizing it is the Legado World Order. Cruz and Angel eventually begin brawling in the ring. Cruz hits a cool rope-bound dropkick and sends Angel to the floor. Humberto charges but also goes to the floor. Joaquin and Cruz then hit a double dive on Angel and Humberto.

Back from break, the big six-man tag team match is again being promoted for the main event tonight. From there, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa are shown backstage freaking out.

After that segment, commentary breaks down more of what to expect tonight, including Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits on the hunt for Karrion Kross' new stable.

Then, Santos Escobar makes his way out with Angel and Humberto, who still don't have their last names. A vignette then airs to hype them up. Angel says he pities the LWO, and Humberto says they do this for honor and family. Santos then threatens to hurt Joaquin and Cruz. That match is next.

Paul Heyman takes the mic and reveals Roman Reigns isn't there tonight. Nick Aldis says he's right and that Roman has started something he doesn't want to finish again.

Nick then reveals The Bloodline has until the main event to find a replacement for Roman, or it will be a three-on-two handicap match. Wow! What a main event!

Nick makes it clear he and Paul Heyman aren't equals. He then clarifies that the Fatal Four-Way with Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble will still happen.

Aldis says this is the second match in the last two weeks that The Bloodline has ruined. He then reveals Jimmy Uso, Roman Reigns, and Solo Sikoa will battle AJ Styles, LA Knight, and Randy Orton TONIGHT, but Roman isn't even out there.

Solo and Jimmy enter the ring, and Grayson and Austin run away. Paul Heyman then takes the microphone and says they're not the bad guys, but the villainous "James Bond wanna be" Nick Aldis is the bad guy. He continues to tear Aldis down until Nick takes the microphone.

After the video, Cameron Grimes makes his way to the ring, but Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso assault him! Wow! Security and staff come down to break things up, but The Bloodline attacks the security. This is a chaotic start.

Friday Night SmackDown begins with Kevin Patrick introducing the show. Grayson Waller's music then hits, and he comes out alongside Austin Theory. Looks like we'll be kicking off with Waller vs. Grimes!
