The fans seem disappointed by The Bloodline retaining. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu make their way out to meet the two after their win. That'll do it for SmackDown coverage on Sportskeeda. Be sure to return as we cover Bad Blood tomorrow night!

Ciampa and Dawkins fall through a ladder! From there, Gargano and Ford get knocked down through another ladder. This allows for Tonga Loa to climb up and pull the titles down for the win.

The Bloodline defeats DIY and The Street Profits

From there, DIY and The Street Profits work together and do the Shield powerbomb to Tama Tonga through the announcer's table!

From there, DIY hits Dawkins and Ford, putting a ladder in the ring after. Soon after, DIY and The Street Profits are all on the ladders! This is crazy!

Dawkins starts climbing the ladder, but Tama Tonga knocks him down. Tama baseball slides the ladder into Dawkins' face leading to Tonga grabbing Angelo's arms. Tama goes to hit Dawkins with a chair, but B-Fab pull sit away. DIY then nail The Bloodline with chairs! DIY puts Tonga Loa on the table and Ford hits a Frog Splash off the ropes to the floor!

Dawkins gets back in the ring and he starts fighting DIY. He lifts Ciampa onto his shoulders and Montez Ford hits a blockbuster over the ladder! He botches it slightly, but it still looked GREAT, but also scary. More like a Doomsday shoulder tackle.

The crowd chants "this is awesome".

Back from break and DIY hit a big Shatter Machine. They go for Meeting In The Middle, but Johnny is pulled out of the ring. The Bloodline takes control with Tonga Loa using a ladder. He attempts to hit both of DIY with it, but they stop him. He falls onto his knees with the ladder over his neck and they hit Meet In The Middle on the ladder!

Montez Ford scrambles and finds a table. He pulls it out right as we go to presumably the final commercial break of the show.

They throw the ladder outside to the floor and then attack Ciampa by the side of the ring. The two hold a ladder and smash Ciampa with it. Dawkins then dives onto the ladder taking both out! Johnny dives onto Dawkins and Montez Ford hits a huge tope suicida which leads to all six men being laid out on the floor.

Back from break and all six men are fighting on two ladders set up in the ring. DIY are knocked down onto the ropes. The Street Profits go down and The Bloodline take over. Ford does an impressive spot climbing a ladder The Bloodline were holding, but ultimately pays for it. The two take out DIY next.

DIY make their way out before The Street Profits come out last with B-Fab. She surprisingly stays ringside.

DIY vs. The Street Profits vs. The Bloodline

Who will win the Ladder Match? DIY and The Street Profits immediately turn to The Bloodline and attack Tama and Tonga. They throw the two out and then the two babyface teams look at the titles before attacking The Bloodline again.

After the break, Tiffany is walking upset backstage. Nia shows up and says if she doesn't know better, she'd think Tiffany was teasing cashing in on her. She says Stratton should consider cashing in on Liv tomorrow and promise she'll never betray her. Tiffany says, "of course not, my queen".

From there, commentary runs down the Bad Blood card.

Backstage, The Bloodline is walking. Jacob Fatu says he and his Tongan brothers love their Tribal Chief. Fatu says DIY, The Street Profits, Cody, and Roman will love and worship him too. He says if they don't, at the end of the day, they will acknowledge him.

Solo tells the camera to acknowledge him before Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa make their way out for the main event. Very cool camera shot.

Corey Graves mentions Tiffany can cash in on Nia, Liv, Roxanne, but also Kelani Jordan for the NXT Women's North American Championship, which is a new rule.

From there, we get a look back at last week's Cody Rhodes-Kevin Owens-Randy Orton issue.

Back from break, Naomi hits a Backpack Stunner! They trade strikes and the crowd yays for both of them despite it being a yay/boo spot. Naomi attempts a spot, but Tiffany has an athletic counter, and the crowd loves it. Naomi goes for a huge crossbody off the top, but Tiffany rolls through and powers out. Naomi counters, and they go back and forth until finally, Naomi counters a pin with one of her own.

Naomi defeats Tiffany Stratton by pinfall

Really good match.

Naomi attempts another move in the ropes, but Tiffany again counters it. She manages to hit a rolling senton, but Naomi fights back and nails a quick kick. Tiffany retaliates and hits Naomi. They fight on the floor and Naomi then hits a split onto Tiffany on the apron, really cool spot.

From there, we go to break.

Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton

The two lock up and they have a lot of animosity. Things seem pretty even at first with Naomi staying one step ahead of Tiffany, hitting a kick and slamming her down for a quick pin, but Stratton kicks out. Naomi attempts the rope-hung piledriver, but Tiffany counters it. Naomi then nails a suplex for a two-count.

Back from break and Chelsea Green and Piper Niven are backstage. Pretty Deadly are disgusted by Chelsea's stench. A-Town Down Under show up and mock her too. Even Angel and Berto mock it. She then approaches Nick Aldis who makes a bunch of jokes and she storms off.

Carmelo Hayes then shows up and asks Nick Aldis for the title match. Aldis seems disgusted that all he cares about is a title match and he will check on AJ tonight and talk to Melo about a title match next week.

Bayley says she has zero respect to Tiffany and calls her a stupid "b" word. This leads to Nia and Tiffany attacking Bayley. Nia goes for a running senton but misses. Bayley grabs Tiffany's briefcase and hits Nia repeatedly then nails a running knee. She holds up the title and leaves while Tiffany picks up the briefcase and seemingly considers using it. Nia notices it and walks out angrily as the crowd chants "cash it in".

Then Naomi's music hits! She high fives Bayley as The Role Model leaves. Naomi and Tiffany will take place after the break.

Bayley says it isn't because Tiffany is good enough, but because of the briefcase. Bayley says the moment Tiffany gets tired of Nia berating her, she'll cash in and win the title. Tiffany is offended and interrupts saying she doesn't need a briefcase to beat Nia, which offends Jax. Tiffany changes subjects and tells Bayley to bow down to her queen. Stratton was flustered, as she called Bayley "Pam" by mistake.

Nia takes a microphone and tells Bayley to say what she wants to her face. Bayley says Nia doesn't appreciate being a champion. She brings up being a fan and watching Victoria, Molly Holly, Trish Stratus, and others fighting for the title. Bayley says Nia isn't them. She then admits they never had the dominance Nia had in this run. The Role Model says two people can take it from her. One is Bayley tomorrow at Bad Blood and she plans to.

Bayley says the second one is Tiffany.

Back from break, Michael Cole teases Metro Boomin coming to Bad Blood, and we see The Street Profits preparing for the main event. Then Bayley comes out!

Bayley takes a mic and calls out Nia, saying she can even bring Tiffany. They come out, and Michael Cole says 2024 is by far Nia's best year. There's no doubt about that.

Chelsea pops out, covered in garbage, and screams. We then go backstage to AJ Styles with a doctor. Corey Graves says the video took place moments ago, and he has since left to go to a hospital for an ankle injury.

We then see Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair show up to talk to Naomi. They talk to Tiffany Stratton, but then Bianca and Jade reveal that Naomi will host the Bad Blood with them. Bayley then shows up, and Bianca isn't happy but walks away. Bayley says she'll keep her promise, and if she beats Nia, Naomi has the first shot at the title.

Michin fights Chelsea on the apron and then in an insane spot, powerbombs Chelsea off of the apron through the table into the dumpster! Michin climbs out and shuts the lid, winning the match. Wow.

Michin defeats Chelsea Green

Michin puts a trash can on Chelsea and hits a senton off the ropes, crashing on top of her. She then starts setting up a table but Piper Niven shows up and attacks! Piper goes for a running cannonball against the dumpster, but Michin moves and Piper crashes and burns.

Back from break and Chelsea nearly knocks Michin off of the apron into the dumpster, but Michin avoids it and goes into the ring with a Tornado DDT. Michin then hits a German Suplex. The Blasian Baddie attempts to nail Eat Defeat, but Chelsea holds onto the ropes. She then hits a Canadian Destroyer! Wow!

Chelsea knocks Michin into the dumpster, but before she can shut the lid, but before she can, Michin stops her and climbs out. They get back in the ring and Michin nails Eat Defeat!

Michin and Chelsea fight near the dumpster, but Michin gets tossed into the steel steps. Notably, Cole mentioned both women being forner TNA Knockouts Champions. It is a different era.

Michin gives Chelsea a kendo stick and has one of her own, Michin then immediately beats Chelsea up with hers. Chelsea goes to the floor and Michin does a dive. From there, Michin takes out weapons from under the ring, including a trash can, a chair, and a table! Chelsea tries to dive onto Michin, but gets hit with a cookie sheet. Michin then hits a missile dropkick in the ring.

Back from break and its Dumpster Match time! Chelsea Green is first to come out. Next is Michin with a trash can full of weapons.

Chelsea Green vs. Michin

This should be a lot of fun.

Before the commercial break begins, a new 2K24 ad airs featuring Bray Wyatt as The Fiend! It looks like there will be Fiend-related DLC

Next up, we see DIY getting ready for their title match later tonight. From there, we see a dumpster being brought to the ringside area. The Dumpster Match starts NEXT!

A frustrated AJ Styles hobbles out, not accepting help. Back in the ring, LA Knight levels Carmelo Hayes with the BFT!

From there, we go to a video looking at the story between The Bloodline, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

Back from break, Carmelo had a singles leg crab locked in, but AJ Styles starts mounting a comeback! He manages to power Melo up for a neckbreaker on the knee, but it causes his bad leg to buckle. AJ is in clear pain, and surprisingly, the referee calls off the match. He might be hurt.

Carmelo Hayes defeats AJ Styles by referee stoppage

AJ Styles takes control back and goes for a lionsault, but Melo moves and hits a springboard of his own, leveling AJ. He then throws The Phenomenal One to the floor and taunts the crowd.

Michael Cole brings up AJ in Pro Wrestling NOAH and his past in the NWA and TNA.

We're back from break, and a mysterious vignette airs! It shows a car and people walking, but it's not clear who it is.

AJ Styles vs. Carmelo Hayes

Two of the best stars are going, so this should be great. Melo gets in there early and goes after AJ, hitting big chops and strikes.

WWE official Charles Robinson rushes out and it looks like the match will indeed happen after the break!

Carmelo says he's good and goes to leave, but LA Knight's music hits! He gets a huge pop, and the crowd chants loudly for him. Knight mocks Melo for trying to get out of a fight. He then calls Styles out for his fake retirement. Knight says Melo is HIM.

He's the guy who is going to get beat up tonight. LA says there are two options, one is he goes to the ring and punches Carmelo out then gets drinks. The other option is Melo vs. AJ, and if Carmelo wins, Knight will try to get him into a United States Championship match.

Knight says, regardless, he'll stop Melo out tonight.

Carmelo says he doesn't need AJ's advice and doesn't take it from quitters. AJ says if Carmelo is so good, he'd be the US Champion now. Melo retorts that if AJ is so good, he'd be the WWE Champion. The crowd chants, "He's not HIM." AJ then notes they're both in gear and challenges Melo to a match right now!

Melo says he's not surprised there isn't a long line of people to welcome him back after all he's done, but he'll do it. Melo says AJ knows who he is; he's HIM. He brags about beating Andrade and says he's been holding it down since AJ has been gone. Melo says he's a huge fan of AJ and then calls him an "old timer."

He jokes about AJ needing a legend's contract and then starts talking about himself and how he should be the United States Champion, not LA Knight or Andrade. AJ offers Melo advice and says Knight is relentless. Melo puts his hand over AJ's mic and pushes it down.

Loud "AJ" chants as he takes in the moment. Notably, Hardy botched introducing AJ Styles, calling him The Phenomenal Forearm.

AJ takes the mic and says he's done many things he regrets, but he's here to rebuild his legacy. He says this is still the house that AJ Styles built. Then Carmelo Hayes' music hits!

AJ Styles has been absent for months now, and he's coming out slapping hands and Too Sweeting fans, so it looks like he's a babyface. The commentary is putting him over big, too.

SmackDown begins with The Bloodline, DIY, and The Street Profits arriving. From there, popular artist Hardy is here. He welcomes AJ Styles!
