While Sheamus dug deep trying to find excuses for his loss last weekend, a peculiar interference by The Street Profits followed.
The Street Profits had turned their back on the WWE Universe while they look for a new way to rise to the top in WWE. A few personal insults to McIntyre & Sheamus made them forget about their own rivalry and they attempted to fire back at The Street Profits themselves, a tag team match was sanctioned where Sheamus & McIntyre won!
Tonight, The United States Champion Drew McIntyre was made an offer by Sheamus to join him in The Brawling Brutes considering their great chemistry from last week. The Street Profits again interrupted claiming they could never lose to a team that doesn't exist but now that Drew and Sheamus have at least a little to agree on, they can call themselves a team while against The Street Profits, who promise to win this time.

🔹 BACKSTAGE: Shotzi & Xia Li blindside Raquel Rodriguez.
Shotzi claimed that Raquel Rodriguez shouldn't be on SmackDown and Zelina backed her up on that but Raquel had back up of her own in the form of fan-favorite Liv Morgan two weeks ago Friday on SmackDown. Shotzi & Vega ended up exciting the interview area after a stare down with Morgan.

The former multi time FBW Tag Team Champions and the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions of all-time The New Day interrupted Alpha Academy's second SmackDown Tag Title Quest while they call out The Usos several weeks ago.
The New Day called out Chad Gable and Otis for what they did to Big E prior to WrestleMania. It was Otis' sudden alliance with Gable and the attack by the pair on Big E that took him out of action with a serious injury to his neck. The New Day are out for retaliation!
Tonight, the returning Xavier Woods will take on Otis!
Otis is not 100% himself in this match, feeling a little dizzy and out of place, is it because of the expired Booty-O's he just ate!?

Rey Mysterio stood in the way of The Bloodline's terror over Friday Night SmackDown and finally had a match with Roman Reigns two weeks ago.
During that Universal Title main event, Rey Mysterio put up a massive resistance to the danger of Roman Reigns, but the latter retained.
Last week, Rey Mysterio's address to the WWE Universe was cut short by The Bloodline's The Usos, who looked to continue what Roman Reigns started and end the Mysterios' legend.
However, when the SmackDown Tag Team Champions surrounded Rey Mysterio, a returning Dominik made his way out to rescue his father!
Dominik, who was put aside from an injury he suffered at the hands of The Bloodline, came back at the right time to fend off The Usos!

🔵 Sonya Deville slaps Adam Pearce on "In-Zayn": 8min*
Sami Zayn gave a platform two weeks ago, Friday on SmackDown, to his former ally Sonya Deville where she gave inside details on her fall from being a WWE Official. She exposed the alleged corruption of WWE Official Adam Pearce, who is allegedly taking bribes from multiple WWE Superstars, his unfair agendas against some certain WWE Superstars, and other details "too dark for TV".
Then last week, the liberator Sami Zayn knocked on Adam Pearce's office to address Sonya Deville's claims and before Adam Pearce can debate the exactitude of his alleged actions, Sami Zayn promised him an exclusive visit to his "In-Zayn" show next week where he can give his own insights on the happenings backstage.
This week on a highly-anticipated "In-Zayn" installment with Sami Zayn, the Liberator invited both Sonya Deville and WWE Official Adam Pearce to have a civilized conversation. On the show, Adam Pearce completely denied any responsibility to what Sonya accused him of and called her delusional and crazy as well as "sour" for losing her WWE Official status. Sonya Deville was not pleased by this direct answer and reacted swiftly with a slap to his face before exiting the show.
🔵 Edge and Damian Priest reveal their new member of Judgment Day: 10min*

After a cryptic introduction about "controlling the future of WWE", Edge welcomed Rhea Ripley to join him in the ring in a shocking turn of events!
For weeks, we've seen Rhea Ripley transition to a much darker character in her rivalry with Ronda Rousey and now everything makes sense!
Followed Rhea Ripley was her opponent Bianca Belair, who considers a win tonight against Ripley a stepping stone in her road to the Undisputed WWE Women's Championship!
