Dawkins tries to knock them both down, but Sabin lands on his feet. Ciampa grabs a chair and blasts Dawkins and Sabin. Gargano then smashes Shelley whose head was in a chair. Ouch.

DIY and The Motor City Machine Guns start fighting rinside and Montez dives over the ringpost onto all of them! That was crazy. DIY and Montez Ford were on a ladder and Johnny flies off with a flat liner. Dawkins then stops Ciampa from grabbing the belt at the very last moment.

Motor City Machine Guns both recover, despite the chair shots. They hit a dragon screw to Dawkins with the ladder. Gargano is thrown face first into the ladder. Street Profits recover, with Dawkins taking out both members of Motor City Machine Guns. He goes to the top rope, but Motor City Machine Guns stop him and hang him in a tree of woe.

This should be excellent.

Fatu slams Knight into the stairs. He then attacks Knight and Priest. He hits a moonsault on Knight! Wow! He hits a hip attack on Damian! He then goes for a moonsault on Priest and hits it! The crowd LOVES this.

Damian grabs Drew by the neck and CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! The crowd erupts and chants "holy s". The audio is completely muted.

Bianca says Rhea slipped her way into a match she earned, so it won't be the last time she sees her. She says she has to recover, but SmackDown is her home, and her home is divided. She will fix things when she's back.

Interesting.

Aleister does his full entrance into the ring. This feels great. The presentation is perfect. There are loud "Welcome back" chants. The Miz looks angry.

The crowd keeps chanting "Welcome back" until The Miz tries to confront Black and eats a Black Mass! Welcome back indeed!

Aleister is back, and he has his classic theme and entrance! The crowd erupted!

The Miz takes shots at Rey Fenix and Joe Hendry for being on WrestleMania when he wasn't. He said he's sick of people getting opportunities. He calls himself the most must-see WWE star ever.

THE LIGHTS THEN GO OUT AND ALEISTER BLACK'S MUSIC HITS!! HE'S BACK.

A video package airs highlighting Carmelo Hayes's win in the Andre. The Miz then gives Melo a gold chain with Andre's head on it—very cool. Melo says that with this win, he feels like he's HIM.

Drew says his next plan was to challenge Cena for the title, but Orton jumped the line. Drew says he wants to fight the baddest dog in the yard. He wants to fight Jacob. LA Knight calls him boring, and Drew says Knight's last US Title run was a joke. Knight says he'd call Drew's last title run a joke, but he can't remember it.

Knight and Drew trash-talk further and are about to fight, then Nick Aldis shows up. He announces Drew vs. LA tonight, and the winner challenges Jacob Fatu! Wow!

LA Knight says he put Fatu down with the BFT, but he wants a rematch. Then Drew McIntyre interrupts things. Wow!

Drew talks about beating Damian Priest at WrestleMania and says Damian isn't here tonight and won't be for a while. He says it was a pleasure to embarrass him in front of his entire family. Ouch.

Solo keeps taking credit, and Jacob grabs the microphone from him! Loud "Fatu" chants. Jacob says, "Don't get it twisted." He said he'd do it with or without Solo, and that's what he did. He said the title makes him America's most wanted and a menace to society. Jacob says he's all gas and has no breaks, and then LA Knight's music hits!

LOUD "Fatu" chants for Jacob. Solo then talks on the mic and gets booed. He says to show some respect for the new United States Champion and the crowd cheers Fatu. Interesting dynamic here. Solo says at WrestleMania, everybody saw what Sikoa already knew. He calls Jacob the future and says nobody in his family wanted Jacob except him. Solo says they thought he was trouble and too much of a risk.

Solo says he's the one who changed it and made it all happen. He says he's the reason Jacob is champion and Fatu is side-eying him.

Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton

This should be very interesting. Surely it won't have a proper finish. The two lock up early and Jade Cargill hits Tiffany with a shoulder tackle. Tiffany avoids a corner attack and rolls Jade up, but Cargill kicks out.

Jade says Tiffany winning has put a bigger target on her back, and since she's done with Naomi, it is time for her to remind everybody why he came to WWE. She wants to be champion. Jade says beating Charlotte doesn't make Tiffany the best, especially when she hasn't beaten Cargill yet. Tiffany says a referee should come out right now. As a referee does, we go to a break.

Is the match happening?! It seems to be!
