Ridge picks up both Usos, slamming them with one arm each. The Brutes hit their powerslam/roundhouse combination for the pin, but Jey is just barely able to break it up.

As Sami goes for a chair, he's cut off by Sheamus. Sami and Solo are stalled by Sheamus, but Imperium runs down to the ring to take the Celtic Warrior out. Due to the distraction, Ridge and Butch both eat superkicks. Butch is dropped with the One D, and Jey pins him for the win.

The Usos defeat The Brawling Brutes via pinfall.

Jey tags in but is taken out by an aggressive Butch. The scrappy young star of the trio works over the joints of Jey but is saved by Jimmy. As Butch goes for a moonsault, he's rocked with a pair of superkicks in mid-air by The Usos. Somehow, someway, Butch kicks out.

Jey is getting upset at Sami Zayn, which allows Butch to rock him with a step-up enzuigiri in the ropes. Ridge Holland tags in, and runs right through the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions. A big slam takes out Jimmy for a two-count. Jimmy counters a lariat but doesn't see the tag when Butch tags back in.

As he slams Ridge with a Samoan Drop, Jimmy's caught with a nasty kick from Butch, leading to another two-count.

Thanks to some help from the Bloodline, the Usos turn things around on the floor. Back in the ring, Butch eats a brutal double spinebuster for a near-fall.

Ridge catches Jey with a big kitchen sink knee that turns him inside out. While Jey recovers, the Brawling Brutes batter Jimmy with the 10 beats of the Bodhrán.

#SmackDown will be 🔥 next week.

Kai catches Rodriguez with a scorpion kick after she's distracted by Damage CTRL. Rodriguez's former tag team partner follows with a big boot in the corner, but before she can finish the job Shotzi runs them down. As Shotzi attacks Damage CTRL, Rodriguez rolls up Kai for the three-count.

Raquel Rodriguez defeats Dakota Kai via pinfall.

Scarlet throws a fireball in Drew's face, and Kross hits him with a low blow. He continues to beat down the Scottish Warrior before locking in the Kross Jacket, accepting his challenge for Extreme Rules.

Drew McIntyre is in the ring, and delivers some big news. Karrion Kross's first "major" match on the main roster takes place at Extreme Rules. It won't be just any match, however. McIntyre is carrying a strap in his hand, and says that at the premium live event it will be a Strap Match!

Scarlet appears on the stage to distract Drew, but he's heard this song before both figuratively and literally. He shakes off Kross's attack and sends him into the ring post. While Kross recovers, McIntyre ties the strap to their hands.

Beware @Gunther_AUT, @WWESheamus is coming for that #ICTitle.#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/L4xhWgSbkY

Strowman avoids the diving splash and picks up the 360lb Otis for a hellacious powerbomb. 1-2-3.

Braun Strowman defeats Otis via pinfall.

Otis plants Strowman with the World's Strongest Slam and follows with a Vader Bomb, only securing a two-count.

Otis slams Braun into the barricade and ring post before bringing the big man in the ring for a discus lariat. However, Strowman catches Otis with a spinebuster that, again, forces him to the floor. Gable is encouraging his #1 guy when they're both met with a rampaging Strowman.

Next up is a real Clash of the Titans, as we've got Braun Strowman facing Otis. The Monster Among Men sends Otis to the floor with a dropkick. When he runs for the train, Gable falls in front of his path, distracting him and allowing Otis to take the former Universal Champion out.

Mace slams Woods and follows with a springboard elbow drop for a two-count. MMM pose over the body of Woods as Maxine Dupri takes pictures. Max is furious with her for causing a distraction, and he's right to be upset. Kofi sends Mace to the floor, and Woods catches Mansoor with the BackWoods!

New Day defeats Maximum Male Models via pinfall.

After the match, Max Dupri flips out on his group, screaming at them and slamming his jacket on the ring.

Up next, we've got tag team action. The New Day faces Maximum Male Models' mån.sôör and ma.çé, who I will be calling Mansoor and Mace to save myself time.

Sami Zayn runs into Madcap Moss and Ricochet backstage, who tell him that he's not really an "Honorary Uce." Before they can go further, they're blindsided and demolished by Solo Sikoa. Looks like Solo and Sami are best buds.

"I'm ready for you @RondaRousey, let's get Extreme!"

Morgan batters Lacey Evans with the stick, even using it for a leg sweep into the barricade. After setting Lacey up on a table on the floor, she moves to the top rope for a big diving senton!

Evans locks Morgan in a head-scissor but is caught with a series of desperation kicks. She rolls to the floor and grabs a kendo stick. Rolling back in, she aims to take Morgan's head off. Morgan ducks hits a codebreaker, and sends her opponent into the ropes for ObLIVion!

Liv Morgan defeats Lacey Evans via pinfall.

Lacey Evans catches Liv Morgan out of the air with a big boot to the sternum. She dominates the champion, cutting her legs out from under her and sending her to the floor in a nasty crash and burn moment.

SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan faces Lacey Evans next. Morgan's getting ever more confident in recent months, partly due to her victories over Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. Could Evans take an overeager Morgan down a peg?

Jey tears Sami's shirt off, and Roman says he'll never wear that shirt again.

He'll never wear it again because Roman got him his own Honorary Uce shirt. Sami is elated and celebrates with the majority of The Bloodline.

Roman tells Sami to take the shirt off, and Jey encourages it, screaming at Sami.

Just as everything has wrapped up nicely, Sami cuts them off. Sami wants to publicly show his gratitude for the Bloodline, and publicly acknowledge the Tribal Chief. Everyone is tense, save for Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.

Roman says he likes Sami but wants to know why he's talking right now. He follows up, asking why Sami has their shirt on.

The Usos promise another dominant victory for the group tonight before handing Roman Reigns the microphone. Reigns calls for Solo, saying that the elders may have sent him, but he answers to the Head of the Table now. He demands Solo acknowledge him, and he quickly falls in line.
