One week later, 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.

Ever since winning the SmackDown Women's Title, Ronda Rousey has found herself in a peculiar situation with Shayna Baszler who is always giving her uncalled for help.
Even last week, when Ronda Rousey wanted a one-on-one match with Raquel Rodriguez, Shayna again assisted Rousey in her victory.
Tonight, Rousey and Baszler were in the ring to clear the air about their foggy and ambiguous partnership which brought out Raquel Rodriguez who voiced her frustrations with Shayna Baszler constantly costing her matches with Rousey.
Moments after Rousey sided with Raquel on the issue, a two-on-one beatdown took place as Raquel Rodriguez falls victim to Baszler and Rousey's sadistic playbook.
It turns out all the drama was merely a set-up to keep Rodriguez away from Rousey's Title.
🔵 MAIN EVENT: Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross - Steel Cage Match: 17min*
Once the Steel Cage doors were shut, the fight was on. Drew McIntyre used the unforgiving walls of the structure, slamming Karrion Kross’ face multiple times into the chain-link.
As the match progressed, the action seesawed between the two competitors, McIntyre hitting a spinebuster before Kross locked in the Kross Jacket. Kross then hit a Doomsday Saito as Scarlett was barking at him from ringside to “take him down.”
As McIntyre was gearing up for a Claymore, Scarlett scaled the cage, distracting The Scottish Warrior so Kross could slap on the Kross Jacket and nail the Kross Hammer.
McIntyre looked to escape the cage after a glorious superplex, but Scarlett once again played spoiler, spraying McIntyre with pepper spray before he could exit. This enraged McIntyre, who trapped Kross in an ankle lock and blasted him with a Claymore out of nowhere to leave Kross laying.
Scarlett then locked the cage door but made an error as McIntyre escaped by going over the Steel Cage, which gave him enough time to win before Kross could crawl through the door.
Drew McIntyre wins.
