The Bloodline stands tall over Roman Reigns as Solo Sikoa continues to talk smack. We then see Jimmy Uso still laid out on the stage.

That's how the show ends!

Roman attacks Solo and then lays out the Tongans! He sees the Ula Fala and goes for it, but Solo Sikoa low blows The Tribal Chief! Jacob Fatu then lays Roman out. They stomp away at Roman, and Solo gets the Samoan Spike ready and nails Roman with it. Solo then hits another Samoan Spike as "Solo sucks" chants can be heard.

Jey Uso wasn't here to save Roman. Solo says, "This is my ring now, this is my Ula Fala."

Solo repeats it and adds "or else." Roman snaps and says, "Or else what?! " Solo laughs. He says Roman never changed. Solo says since Roman will never change, he never will either. He snaps his fingers, and The Bloodline comes out with a bloody Jimmy Uso!

Solo says all Roman has to do is acknowledge him. Loud "OTC" chant. Roman says he acknowledges Solo, and the crowd boos. Roman asks if that fixes things. Solo says that's not good enough and demands Roman to acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. The crowd chants, "NO."

Solo Sikoa then interrupts Roman! Roman says he heard Solo tell Jey that the family and The Bloodline were stronger now. Reigns says he doesn't see it. He says he doesn't see anything saying they're better off. Roman says if anything, they're divided and broken. Roman says after everything they went through in the spring and summer, they're divided like this.

Reigns says he told his father he could fix this. He says he wants to take them back to the promised land and asks what he has to do to fix this. Solo is laughing.

Will Roman Reigns acknowledge Solo Sikoa and step away for good?

We're back from break, and Roman is in the ring as the crowd chants OTC loudly. He says, "Maybe for the last time, acknowledge me." Wow.

Candice LeRae and Nia Jax vs. Bayley and Naomi

This should be quite interesting.

Next up, Naomi comes out! She will be with Bayley against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae next!

That'll be after the break.

Backstage, we see Byron Saxton with Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. They will have their "game seven" match next week. Things quickly go awry, and they talk smack before a fight begins. Carmelo uses the staff holding Andrade back to snatch his chain and hit him with it. They are then broken apart.

Backstage, Nick Aldis is with Randy Orton. Orton asks to get his hands on Kevin at Crown Jewel. Nick says he can't do it right now. Orton is confused. Nick says he can't because it's coming from above. Does he mean Triple H?

Randy says he knows he needs to talk to. Oh, this is interesting..

He says how he's treated shows what WWE thinks of him. He says what hurts the most is Randy Orton "betraying him". Great promo here. Fantastic stuff. He says he can't believe Orton chose Cody over him. Kevin says that, with all of the disrespect shown by WWE and Randy breaking his trust, he doesn't know if or when he can come back. Wow.

From there, we get a recap of the Kevin Owens drama. We get a video of him talking in his car that was released on social media recently. He says he's never been as unhappy as he is now. He says being asked not to come to work is unfair and ridiculous, given all of the ambushes and attacks that go on. He called Cody WWE's "little golden boy."

Cody invites Gunther to join him on SmackDown next week! He says he'll ask him what he wants to talk about.

Cody said he won't disparage Gunther. He brings up Gunther's attributes and says he's not afraid of The Ring General. He told people not to bet against him. Cody brings up the pretty belt, and he says when he came back to WWE, he wanted to take the John Cena schedule. He says he has bled, sweat, and paid the price, and he's not done paying the price, but it's almost skin deep, and the real reason he thinks he's leaving Crown Jewel as champion is his daughter.

He says when his bones turn to dust, he needs his daughter to know that his name will be linked with the title forever.

Cody Rhodes is here and makes his way out to a big pop. The Crown Jewel Championship is in the ring. Cody is so over. He takes the microphone and points out the packed crowd. Cody says the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion will be decided. He said there are so many what-ifs in the history of the sport. He said what if the NWA Worlds Champion Harley Race took on the WWWF and battled Bruno Sammartino. He brought up Nick Bockwinkel and Ric Flair battling or Goldberg and Stone Cold.

Cody says when these matches did happen, there were clever outs or unsatisfactory winners. He says when Crown Jewel comes around, there will be a definitive Crown Jewel Champion.

Backstage, Roman Reigns is sitting down, and Jimmy Uso gives him a jump scare. Jimmy says he thinks Roman should talk to Jey, but Reigns says he already talked to Jey, and it didn't work. Reigns then said he's going to fix things tonight. Jimmy asks how he'll do that, and Roman says he's going to acknowledge Solo. What?!

Lash and Jakara stare down the tag team champions post-match. From there, we get another look at the Crown Jewel Championship.

Cody will be here after the break!

Piper misses a splash in the corner and Lash hits one of her own. Lash tries to lift Piper and fails, but then hits a HUGE slam! Chelsea Green causes a distraction on the apron but Jakara pulls her away and slams her into the barricade! Piper takes advantage and goes for a Vader Bomb, but Lash moves.

Legend then manages to hit her finisher, which is a really cool move that lifts Piper up and nails her for the shocking win!

Piper runs in the corner for a Cannonball, but Lash moves. Legend hits a big chop and forearm. She then goes to chokeslam Piper, but can't do it.

Next up, Piper Niven is out alongside Chelsea Green! Piper will be going one-on-one with Lash Legend.. NEXT!

Backstage, Nia Jax is with Nick Aldis. She is on the phone with Tiffany Stratton, who is apparently out with the flu. Nick says SmackDown has a deep roster and to find someone else to be her partner. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell walk in. Nia doesn't seem happy, but Candice says that, as the first WWE Speed Champion, she wouldn't mind helping her out.

Nia says Candice better hold up her end of the bargain, or she'll end her. Then she takes a shot at Speed, saying it'll take less than three minutes.

After the break, Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns are shown arriving at SmackDown. Roman and Jimmy say they were listening to a Travis Scott song that is not out yet. THEN JEY USO SHOWS UP. He and Roman have a staredown, and Jey goes to leave. Roman grabs Jey's arm. He tells Jey he's proud of him, and we all are. It's very tense. Jey tells Roman, "No Yeet," and walks off.

Roman tried. He tells Jimmy, "I told you."

DIY leaves while Montez and Angelo are upset with B-Fab. From there, we go to a replay of the Nia Jax-Tiffany Stratton-Naomi drama from last week.

Corey reveals a Naomi and Bayley vs. Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton match was scheduled tonight, but something happened. Corey promised to give information when we return from break. Is the match canceled?

Ford takes out both members of Pretty Deadly with Superkicks. He goes to the top, but Elton Prince crotches him. Kit Wilson tags in, and they go for a double Superplex, but Dawkins stops it. DIY hit Meet In The Middle and pick up the win, but at the same time, Montez Ford pins the illegal man!

DIY defeats The Street Profits and Pretty Deadly by pinfall

The referee notes that The Street Profits pinned the wrong man, but this was chaotic! Both teams arguably deserved the win.

Back from break and Tommaso Ciampa hits an Air Raid Crash off the ropes on Kit Wilson, only for Ford to hit a 450 splash for a near fall. This match is complete chaos. DIY and The Street Profits go back and forth with strikes, and The Street Profits hit a huge double suplex. Pretty Deadly tries to steal the win but fails.

This is DIY's first TV match in two months. The crowd chants, "You look stupid". Ford gets a roll up pin on Elton, but he kicks out as we go to commercial break.

Tommaso Ciampa chases Elton Prince outside the ring, but Kit Wilson levels him. Angelo Dawkins then nails Elton Prince. Gargano hits a dive on Pretty Deadly as Johnny goes into the ring. Ford hits a kick on Johnny and goes for a dive, but Gargano moves. Ciampa hits a big knee for a near fall. Pretty Deadly then start to double team both Ciampa and Ford, taking control.

Back from break, and The Street Profits come out alongside B-Fab. Pretty Deadly and DIY are already in the ring. Surprised to see DIY get the "jobber" entrance.

The Street Profits vs. Pretty Deadly vs. DIY

This should be fun. It has Triple Threat Tag Team Rules, which means one member of each team is in the ring at once.

Two #1 Contenders Triple Threat Tag Team Qualifiers will be taking place, and the first is next!

Jey asks Solo if he was trying to bring the family together, why'd he get Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga. He says the same about Jacob Fatu, saying they kept them away for a reason. He says if Jacob Fatu keeps staring at him, he'll knock him out. Jey then tells Solo next time he sees Solo, it'll be different. Solo stops Fatu from attacking and Jey leaves.

Wow.

Sikoa says he's trying to unite the family. Solo then tells Jey to stop calling him his little brother. Solo says he is Jey's Tribal Chief. He says he has a place for him in his Bloodline, he just has to acknowledge him. He told Jey not to follow Jimmy's footsteps. Solo then asks Jey if he's in or out.

Jey pleads his case, saying this needs to end. He mentions his own issues with Roman and leaving to go to RAW, become his own man, and become champion. The crowd chants, "You deserve it." Jey says fighting over the Ula Fala isn't it and that it is earned, not taken. Jey says if Solo wants to take Roman's power, do it, but don't divide the family.

Solo then asks if Jey is done wasting his time.

Jey is SO over. Solo gives Jey "permission" to do his rope dancing. Jey then takes the mic and says he's not here to fight Solo. Jey says at the end of the day, he still cares about Sikoa, and he's still his little brother. Jey then says Jimmy and Roman aren't here yet, so he's here to talk one-on-one, Uce to Uce.
