Nia Jax was in the ring next for a promo for her match against Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel. Jax said that there was no way Liv was beating her to win the Crown Jewel Championship, and Morgan showed up with Dominik Mysterio.

Liv told Jax she wasn't special and that Morgan knew what it would take to beat her. Morgan reminded Nia that she had beaten her once already and that she would do it again to become the Women's Crown Jewel Champion. Tiffany Stratton said she would cash in her Money in the Bank contract at Crown Jewel but added that she didn't know who to cash in on yet.

Stratton asked if Dominik would come with her if she cashed in on Liv and got the Women's World Title. Liv fired back at her, but Tiffany attacked the RAW champ. A brawl broke out before Nick Aldis came out and booked a match between Liv and Stratton.

Roman Reigns was out with Jimmy Uso next. Jimmy said he needed Roman to drop his beef with Jey and mend things with him to reunite the old Bloodline. Roman was about to speak, but Jey entered and said he wanted to get back at Solo for causing his championship loss on RAW.

Jey added that he still wasn't over everything that happened with the Bloodline, but he had to stand with his family and was now Roman's equal. He said all three of them were equal and should stand together and return to running things on SmackDown like they used to.

Jey still warned them that if any of them disrespected him, he would be gone before asking Roman if they would stand together. Roman took the mic and said "Yeet" before the three raised their arms in the ring.
