The show ended without an update on Bayley, so it remains to be seen if that was to write her off from the PLE.

That'll do it for the live results of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Be sure to join us for Crown Jewel's live results!

While the show was seemingly about to end, Bianca Belair saw Bayley ringside and climbed out of the ring. She then hit the KOD on her through the table to close SmackDown! Wow!

The EST hits a dive to the floor, and they get back into the ring. Bianca goes for the KOD, but Bayley slides out. Bayley goes for the hair again, but this time, Belair uses it as a weapon! She then hits the KOD on Bayley for the win!

Bianca Belair defeats Bayley by pinfall

Bayley, in desperation, keeps trying to pin Bianca, but Belair keeps kicking out. Bayley, in frustration, leaves the ring and clears the commentary table. She then attempts to powerbomb Bianca through it, but Belair fights out of it! She pulls Bayley on the apron, and they brawl. Bayley charges, but Bianca moves, and The Role Model hits the ring post!

The two begin brawling on the ropes. Belair flips off and jumps back for a superplex! Both women are again down as Bianca crawls over for the nearfall.

Bianca mostly misses a moonsault, and Bayley uses Bianca's hair to tug her out of the ring and slams Belair into the ring post! Bayley rolls Bianca back into the ring, hits an elbow drop, and nearly wins, but Belair kicks out at two!

Belair begins to gain control, and the pace picks up. She hits big punches in the corner as the crowd chants along. Bayley slides out and drops Bianca face-first onto the buckle. Bayley charges at Belair but gets it with a spinebuster. Bianca almost pinned The Role Model with that one!

We go to break with Bayley having regained control, and she mocks Belair. Back from break, Bayley throws Bianca to the floor and hits an elbow off the apron. This is Bianca's first match in two months.

She gets a one count, but The EST kicks out. Bianca begins fighting back, and the crowd erupts. She hits a backbreaker, and both women are down.

Next week on SmackDown: Carlito will finally go one-on-one with Bobby Lashley! This will be Carito's first singles match on SmackDown in 15 years!

Bayley is out next for her match. Bianca has a lot of aggression and tackles Bayley, hitting big shoulder blocks in the corner. She then hits multiple brutal suplexes on The Role Model. Belair's aggression is working.

Bianca Belair makes her way out to a big pop from the crowd. As a reminder, Damage CTRL is barred from ringside tonight.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley

We go to break before Bayley can come out.

Logan Paul begins trashing Rey, even touching him, and Mysterio smacks Logan in the face! A brawl breaks out, and Rey hits Logan with a microphone. Logan complains about Rey having a weapon as the segment ends.

The commentary team then goes over the card for Crown Jewel.

Back from break, the commentary team hypes Sami Zayn vs. JD McDonagh on the Kickoff Show for Crown Jewel.

Nick Aldis then hosts the weigh-in, welcoming Logan Paul and the United States Champion Rey Mysterio. Paul weighs in at 213 pounds, and Rey weighs in at 175 pounds.

Backstage, Nick Aldis is confronted by Paul Heyman, who asks to offer him some pearls of wisdom. There seems to be some tension between them.

Heyman suggests having a lot of medical personnel present at Crown Jewel because this is the most savage version of Roman Reigns anyone will ever see—a very ominous warning.

Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio in a weigh-in are next!

Butch is seemingly ready to put Kit Wilson through a table, but Pretty Deadly teams up and hits the Spilt Milk off the top through a table and beats The Brawling Brutes in their match!

Pretty Deadly defeats The Brawling Brutes by pinfall

We then go to a replay of the Knight-Reigns confrontation from earlier.

Pretty Deadly works together and nearly beats Butch, but Ridge helps and powerbombs Elton Prince through a table! Kit is in shock before getting a brogue kick from Butch in honor of Sheamus! It was almost over, but Kit kicked out! Ridge then brings another table in.

Pretty Deadly seems to mess up a double-team powerbomb, but Butch ends up saving Ridge. Holland eventually lifts Elton for a big press and catches him into a powerslam. Butch hits a kick on Elton, and Kit clotheslines Butch, leaving everybody down!

Back from break and Ridge slams one member of the group onto a trash can and the bout is still chaotic. He locks in the Boston Crab on Kit Wilson as Butch locks in the anklelock on Elton Prince. Pretty Deadly lock hands to stop from tapping. Elton escapes and uses a bar stool to hit Ridge!

Between the shillelagh, which may be a tribute to Sheamus, and Pretty Deadly's hand being dragged through glass, this one is a lot of fun.

Elton Prince's fingers get snapped, but he backdrops Butch onto the bar. Ridge slams him, but Kit drives Holland into the ring post. This is already a physical match.

Pretty Deadly throws Ridge back in the ring, and they begin double-teaming him, stomping and punching Ridge The Fridge repeatedly. They grab the shillelaghs, but Ridge fights them off and tosses them outside the ring. Butch is back and hits a moonsault off of the top on all three men as we go to break.

While Pretty Deadly were doing the slow-mo in their entrance, Butch ran and attacked them. It made for a great visual. The two teams fought to the ring, and the bell rang.

Pretty Deadly gets clubbed immediately, and the action is wild. Butch hits Kit with a suplex on the apron and brings out some weapons. Remember, anything goes in this one. The Brutes are using shillelaghs to beat down the pretty pair.

The Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook match is next! The Brawling Brutes' Butch and Ridge Holland will battle Elton Prince and Kit Wilson.

The Brawling Brutes vs. Pretty Deadly

This match will begin after the break.

Backstage, Damage CTRL is bragging about their attack on Bianca. Bayley "jokes" about challenging IYO next after Belar loses.

Nick Aldis shows up and bans IYO and Dakota Kai from ringside for Bayley's match tonight. When Bayley protests, IYO grins and tells her teammate, she can handle Bianca—more tension between the two.

John Cena is selling a raspy voice after last week's attack. He mocks Solo for that being all he said. John then says even with half a voice, he will still cook Solo. Cena says Solo only has a job because of his cousin. He calls Sikoa a bargain basement Taz rip-off. Cena leaves with a verbal victory.

Cena and Sikoa stand toe-to-toe as the crowd chants for The Champ. Solo says he's mad that he has to wait until tomorrow to fight him, but he has orders from The Tribal Chief. And those orders are to allow Cena to say goodbye to the fans while he still can.

Solo takes the mic and asks why Paul is wasting his breath talking to the fans. Sikoa says they didn't come to speak to them. They came to talk to John Cena face-to-face. Cue Cena's music to a massive applause.

Paul Heyman has a microphone. He asks how many fans realize that 'this is what you call the end of days for the Doctor of Thuganomics' in reference to John Cena. He says they don't blame Paul or Roman Reigns.

Heyman says Roman turned to Solo to take care of John. He even says Sikoa has a future as a Tribal Chief!

Back from break, Solo Sikoa makes his way out alongside Paul Heyman. Solo's entrance is still fantastic.

A recap of the Paul Heyman-John Cena segment from last week is shown with Solo Sikoa viciously attacking Cena.

Backstage, Solo is shown with his taped thumb, and his face-to-face segment with John Cena is NEXT!

Charlotte hits an exploder suplex on Chelsea and manages to outdo both champions. She fights both women off before hitting a big boot on Chelsea and wins! Wow, that was sudden.

Shotzi and Charlotte Flair defeated Piper Niven and Chelsea Green by pinfall

The commentary team again noted that they may have earned a title opportunity.

Piper Niven and Shotzi start things off. Piper's power advantage gives her the advantage early on. The Unholy Union is shown watching backstage! Piper hits a shoulder breaker and tags in Chelsea.

Loud Shotzi fans, and she fights back, tagging in Charlotte. Flair hits a big crossbody on both Chelsea and Piper. She then hits both of the champions with chops.

After a break, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven wait for Shotzi, who comes out in her tank. Her partner is Charlotte Flair, which makes sense given their recent history.

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven vs. Shotzi and Charlotte Flair

Shotzi and Charlotte pose together. The commentary team notes that if the pair wins, they could earn a title shot.

Footage of Shotzi's win last week is shown, and then Chelsea Green and Piper Niven mock her backstage. Shotzi and a mystery partner will battle the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions NEXT!

Back from break, and we get a replay of Logan Paul jumping Rey backstage and The Street Profits defeating Santos and Carlito last week.

Logan Paul is then shown walking backstage. He shakes hands with Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. Teasing an alliance??? Once Logan leaves, Lashley tells The Street Profits that Logan will take over when he shows up, and the three of them need to do that. Then they're interrupted by... B-Fab?! She asks to talk to Lashley, and he does. Could she be joining?

Cathy Kelley interviews Bianca Belair backstage. She says she wants vengeance, but Damage CTRL jumps her! Belair starts fighting back, but Nick Aldis and other WWE officials break it up before we go to break.

Austin Theory slowly gets to his feet and is hit with the Stunner! This one is all over.

Kevin Owens defeats Austin Theory by pinfall.

Grayson Waller looks mad as KO celebrates his win.

Back from break, Kevin Owens is beating Austin by the commentary table. Grayson provides a distraction, and Theory uses the ropes and ring post to pick up the momentum. He delivers a big punch in the ring for a nearfall, but Kevin kicks out. Waller tells Kevin Patrick he seems like the type to get with "swamp donkeys."

Austin hits a blockbuster for a nearfall but can't keep Owens down. He clubs the former champion in the corner and puts him on the ropes, but the two begin trading punches. Kevin counters and hits his cool twisting superplex variation! He then hits a pop-up powerbomb!

Back from break, Kevin Owens is ready while Grayson Waller is on commentary. In Gorilla, Austin Theory is interviewed by Kayla Braxton, who calls him ugly and promises to mess up his face.

The match starts, and Grayson Waller continues to hammer home insults on Owens' look. Austin gets the advantage early and hits punches in the corner, but KO counters and knocks Austin out of the ring. He does the crotch chop to Waller and then rolls to the outside and levels Austin with a clothesline and senton.

Knight says Roman Reigns better not miss because if he does, LA Knight won't stop coming for him. The two begin to go face to face, but officials and Nick Aldis run out to interrupt it. Roman leaves angry.

The commentary then runs down the rest of the show, including a Solo Sikoa-John Cena face-off. Then Kevin Owens' music hits!

Kevin Owens vs. Austin Theory

This match begins after the break! This will be Owens' first singles match on SmackDown since January.

Roman calls himself the star, then The Megastar. He credits himself for turning the business into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Roman then calls LA Knight a cosplay redneck version of "his cousin," aka The Rock. He then promises to smash Knight.

Knight says he isn't here to finish something. He's here to start something. He wants to start the LA Knight era. Knight says Roman is a megastar because he carries the title, but Knight is The Megastar because he lives it every single day.

LA Knight chants before Roman can speak. Reigns says typical, he'd tell the crowd to acknowledge him, but they know exactly who he is. He then says Knight doesn't seem to understand who The Tribal Chief is. He then "introduces himself" to Roman, calling him The Tribal Chief, The Head of the Table, and The Face Of WWE.

Roman gives him credit for getting popular and tells the fans to chant for Knight, then says it is the last time it'll ever happen.

Roman Reigns, alongside Paul Heyman, slowly makes his way to the ring and soaks up the moment. Roman's "final boss" aura stands out. Notably, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso aren't with their Tribal Chief.

LA Knight has a microphone in his hand, and he's very over. He points out that Roman has been champion for almost 1,200 days. He calls it impressive but says it'll be impressive how quickly it could end. Knight calls it a hostile takeover. He says he's coming to take over everything Roman stands for and that which he thinks he owns.

Then Roman Reigns' music hits!

Before the show properly begins, a recap video is shown highlighting the LA Knight-Roman Reigns saga from last week. Knight being disrespectful towards Roman was a great contrast to most of Reigns' rivals.

From there, the commentary team welcomes us before LA Knight's music hits!
