The Usos are upset with the decision, and before they can go to blows with The Street Profits, Adam Pearce appears. Pearce reveals that he's found the perfect special guest referee for The WWE Undisputed Tag Team Title match at SummerSlam. It's going to be Double-J himself, Jeff Jarrett! J-E-Double F. J-A-Double R-E-Double T!

Dawkins rocks Jimmy with a big right and plants him with a lifting neck breaker. Jimmy kicks out, but he's in trouble. A spinning splash in the corner and another enzuigiri rocks Jimmy. The ref is accidentally taken out, allowing Jimmy to avoid a pinfall and rock Dawkins with a superkick. However, when the ref comes to, Dawkins plants Jimmy with the sky-high! Jimmy's shoulder is up, but the ref counts the three anyways.

Angelo Dawkins defeats Jimmy Uso via pinfall.

Jimmy Uso faces Angelo Dawkins in the main event, and Jimmy catches Dawkins with a quick Samoan Drop. An enzuigiri sends Dawkins to the floor, but Dawkins responds with a pounce that launches Jimmy over the barricade and into the timekeeper's area.

Theory promises, again, that he's going to cash in at SummerSlam only to be interrupted by the injured Sami Zayn. Theory calls Zayn a suckup and asks what he's going to do with one arm. Sami laughs as The Usos music hits, and Theory is forced to escape through the crowd. Before he can, though, he's driven into the steel post by Madcap Moss.

Oh c'mon @_Theory1 why'd you have to do that?! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/4SXBfWJCd4

Before we can get to a finish, Theory lays out Madcap moss with the Money in the Bank briefcase.

A spine buster plants Theory, but he's able to kick out. Theory is able to respond with a slam of his own, but also only gets a near fall.

Back in the ring, the rolling dropkick rocks Madcap Moss, who is still struggling to get his bearings following his collision with the steel steps. Theory locks in a tight chin lock, further wearing down the former University of Minnesota football star.

Moss takes Theory to the floor and is all over Mr. McMahon's hand-picked Superstar. Theory avoids a shoulder tackle near the steel steps, sending Moss into them in the process and finally taking over.

Madcap Moss dominates Theory early with a series of takedowns. Madcap catches Theory out of the air and launches him overhead with a fallaway slam.

Before Madcap Moss can get to the stage, he's confronted by Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns' private council tries to convince Moss to give Theory the same kind of beating he gave to Happy Corbin, promising all kinds of money and success should he do so. Moss doesn't take the bait, and claims that Heyman is nervous about that SummerSlam cash-in.

McIntyre overpowers Ridge Holland and hits Sheamus's White Noise. After that, the Claymore takes Holland's head off.

Drew McIntyre defeats Ridge Holland via pinfall.

Drew McIntyre takes the fight to Ridge Holland early, but a distraction from Butch allows Holland to get the better of the former WWE Champion. After a big shoulder tackle, Holland hits a powerslam for a one-count.

Or...we get Ridge Holland instead of Sheamus for some reason. Alright.

Alright, well...we didn't get that match. But that's okay because up next we've got a hard-hitting war between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus! The winner goes on to face either Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar at Clash at the Castle in September.

That is...ya know if the match actually happens this week.

Lacey Evans isn't happy with the crowd, again.@LaceyEvansWWE | #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/ZKjgzxfQDr

Lacey Evans, again not getting the reaction she believes she's earned, grabs a microphone to insult the crowd. Evans says the story she told over the past few months is 100% true, and the WWE Universe just can't handle it. Evans tells the crowd to go to hell before leaving the ring before the match can get started.

Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther are backstage with Kayla Braxton. Last week Gunther chopped Ludwig into hamburger meat after he lost to Shinsuke Nakamura. Next week, Ludwig has a rematch with Nakamura, with that news angering the Intercontinental Champion Gunther. He then chopped Ludwig again, leaving his ally on the floor.

Next up are Aliyah and Lacey Evans, who were supposed to be in a tag team match last week. Lacey laid her out after not getting the respect from fans she thought she deserved, leading to the match-up tonight.

While the Raiders threaten the New Day, Woods and Kingston get the crowd chanting "U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly!" As the Raiders march down to the ring, they're blindsided by Jinder Mahal and Shanky. Three of the four men begin to dance in the ring as the Raiders back up the ramp.

The New Day attempt to crack jokes at the expense of Erik and Ivar, with Xavier Woods claiming they got into the Viking mindset by playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla and watching the Thor films. It doesn't take long before the Viking Raiders appear on the stage, with Woods calling them "imposters."

The Viking Raiders' music hits, but it's not Erik and Ivar coming to the ring. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have dressed themselves up like their opponents. Let's see how that plays out for them.

Theory is backstage hyping up his possible Money in the Bank cash-in when Paul Heyman interferes. The council to the Tribal Chief attempts to sweet talk Theory, hoping to prevent a cash-in at SummerSlam. Theory thanks him for his great advice, but he's definitely cashing in at SummerSlam. However, when he's the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, he may be looking for some council himself.
