After the events that saw Damage CTRL make a surprise appearance and assist Lacey Evans in defeating Asuka, the Empress of Tomorrow challenged Bayley to come face her without playing games. However, Asuka was blindsided by Lacey Evans and a brawl ensued that saw Evans stand tall!
Tonight, Lacey Evans and Asuka collided in singles action!
Lacey Evans defeated Asuka in an impressive performance!
**COMING UP: The Bloodline is here TONIGHT! + Dominik Mysterio competes, + Ronda Rousey vs. Raquel Rodriguez for the SmackDown Women's Title!
🔵 The Brawling Brutes take out Legado del Fantasma in a sneak attack: 9min*
Three weeks ago, Friday on SmackDown, Legado del Fantasma made their unexpected debut where they surrounded and neutralized The Brawling Brutes!
Then two weeks ago, La Familia declared war on The Brawling Brutes and vowed to take over SmackDown and there's no better way than going after the Brutes who have garnered a lot of momentum.
Last week, The Brawling Brutes returned to SmackDown and called out Santos Escobar, however, Legado del Fantasma only appeared via satellite and let The Brutes know that La Familia operate on their own time and will meet The Brutes whenever they want.
Tonight, Legado del Fantasma's address was cut short when The Brawling Brutes marched like a troop to do battle! Sheamus, Butch, and Ridge Holland successfully took out every member of Legado del Fantasma to earn revenge!
**Still to come: LA Knight vs. Johnny Gargano + Karrion Kross' doomsday address and Legado del Fantasma reveal their plan to "take over".
🔹 BACKSTAGE: Gunther chops down Ludwig Kaiser following his defeat.
Two weeks ago, Shinsuke Nakamura made a shocking appearance as the fourth participant in the Fatal 4-Way Match for a shot at the US Title.
The King of Strong Style won that match and now has a date with the Ring General Gunther at Crown Jewel!
Last week, Imperium confronted the new challenger. After terrorizing Nakamura, Ludwig Kaiser challenged Shinsuke to a match that he then lost.
Tonight, Gunther made sure Ludwig Kaiser learnt a lesson when he humiliated him with three chops to the chest. The U.S. Champion doesn't tolerate defeat on his side of the fence.
***/ ANNOUNCEMENT: Bray Wyatt will be live at Crown Jewel tomorrow!
🔵 LA Knight w/ Alpha Academy vs. Johnny Gargano w/ Street Profits: 9min*
Livid at the outcome of the six-man tag team match from two weeks ago, Gargano and Street Profits demanded a rematch against LA Knight and Alpha Academy as Chad Gable's issues with Johnny Gargano continue.
Johnny Gargano and The Street Profits managed to get the win but LA Knight turned his attention to Gargano for a match.
Johnny Gargano wins!
🔹 VIDEO: Xia Li wants to protect Shotzi from her own self.
In a video package, Xia Li highlights her self as "The Protector" who sought to protect Shotzi but the latter wasn't for protecting so Li had to terminate her and lock her in a cage three weeks ago.
🔵 Drew McIntyre obliterates Karrion Kross during doomsday address: 9min*
Drew McIntyre is set to face Karrion Kross for the first time tomorrow at Crown Jewel! When Karrion Kross made his SmackDown debut, he targeted the Scottish Warrior just one day before McIntyre's career-defining clash with Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle!
Tonight, Drew McIntyre got the last laugh before Crown Jewel when he ambushed Karrion Kross during his doomsday address!
🔵 Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Raquel Rodriguez - SmackDown Women's Title Match: 11min*
After defeating Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez was congratulated by the SmackDown Women's Champion Ronda Rousey who even offered her a match for the SmackDown Women's Title this past week!
Tonight, Raquel Rodriguez and Ronda Rousey enter battle but this time the SmackDown Women's Title is on the line!
In the closing moments, Shayna Baszler again gets involved and gives Ronda Rousey an uncalled for assist to help her defeat Raquel Rodriguez!

🔵 Hit Row make their own fashion show while disrupting Maximum Male Models: 7min*
The heated rivalry between Maximum Male Models and Hit Row continued during Maximum Male Models' fashion show which saw Hit Row make their own fashionable poses while ruining Maxxine Dupri's show!
🔵 Dominik Mysterio vs. Drew Gulak: 7min*
Last week, in a footage that Dominik and Rhea claimed to have been blocked by WWE Production, we see the exclusive invasion by the two members of Judgment Day on Rey Mysterio's home where they ruined the legendary Luchador's 4th of July celebration with his family from a month ago.
This just adds a new layer of sickening mind games on the side of Dominik ever since parting ways with his father Rey.
Tonight, Judgment Day's presence was felt on SmackDown as Rhea joined Dominik in his match with Drew Gulak.
Dominik wins.
🔵 MAIN EVENT: Braun Strowman decimates The Bloodline as Roman Reigns looks on in terror: 14min*
With New Day at his corner, Braun Strowman looked to make a strong statement to his opponent at Crown Jewel, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, by defeating The Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn last week. Braun Strowman struggled to stay at his game but in the end managed to defeat Sami Zayn only to be speared by Roman Reigns immediately afterwards!
The Head of the Table stood tall with The Usos and Solo Sikoa after clearing the ring of The New Day and Strowman.
Is this a sign of Reigns getting back in control? Or will Strowman have more reasons to forcefully take down The Tribal Chief?
Tonight, The Bloodline faced a similar fate when Braun Strowman completely transformed into a Monster of Monsters to wipe out Solo Sikoa and The Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos while Roman Reigns retreated and looked on at the scene of destruction! This is the same Monster that will be challenging Roman Reigns tomorrow night for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship!!!!
Crown Jewel streams live TOMORROW!
