Tiffany Stratton continues the abuse, slamming both women against the ring post, stairs, and tables. She throws them both in the ring and lays them on top of each other. She then climbs the ropes and hits the Prettiest Moonsault Ever! Tiffany poses over both women while Damage CTRL look on laughing. Bianca and Jade look annoyed like they may come down, but Tiffany is too busy celebrating.

The show concludes with Stratton taunting everybody.

Naomi hits a variation of Dakota's scorpion kick and a big knee. She then dives from the ring onto Bayley on the floor! This is a fun one. The two get to their feet and Bayley hits a Bayley to Belly on the table. Then out of nowhere Tiffany Stratton shows up! She knocks Bayley out and repeatedly slams Naomi against the table!

Bayley vs. Naomi went to a no contest due to interference

Some Naomi chants start up and she goes for a split legged moonsault, but this time Bayley gets her knees up! She hits a running knee and seemingly knocks Naomi out. Bayley then climbs the ropes again and goes for the elbow drop, hitting it this time. Naomi kicks out at two!

Naomi gets a quick pin, but Bayley doesn't lose. Naomi then locks in a submission, but Bayley transitions it into a pin, forcing Naomi to let go to kick out. They then hit each other at the same time and things begin to fire up. They start trading blows in the middle of the ring. Both are getting cheers, but the crowd is more behind Bayley.

Back from break and Naomi is in charge. She hits a corner bulldog and then climbs to the top for a crossbody. It gets a nearfall, but the champion is still in this! Bayley gets the upper hand and hits a back suplex. She then climbs the ropes in the hopes of hitting a diving elbow drop. She nails it, but Naomi lifts her knees at the last second! Bayley is in pain.

Naomi hits a high kick and then a big facebuster using the ropes for momentum for another two count. These two are fighting hard, but the crowd isn't super loud for a babyface vs. babyface match.

Bayley and Naomi begin trading pinfall attempts, and this one is clearly very even. Both women then get up and hit a double crossbody. Things remain quite even, including with Naomi going for the Rearview, but either is definitely in charge.

We then go to what is likely the last commercial break of the show.

Bayley comes out next and gets loud cheers from the crowd. We then see Damage CTRL looking on from the press box, with Bianca and Jade in the other looking focused. Mike Rome then offers the big-match intro.

Naomi vs. Bayley

Naomi gets a good pop from the crowd and Bayley did too. The two women begin to chain wrestle, with Bayley keeping the upper hand early on. Naomi counters for a quick pin, but only gets a one count. Bayley goes for a boot, but doesn't get it. She then hits a few armdrags.

Back from break, Cody Rhodes is backstage at the O2 arena. He says how the title can make the man or the man can make the title. He brings up wrestling in front of 16,000 fans and living up to his promise of bringing the title all over the world. He then talks about AJ Styles and calls him the modern excellence of execution, a comparison to Bret Hart. Cody says AJ rarely misses, but he doesn't miss either and he looks forward to fighting in France.

It is then revealed that Cody and AJ will have a contract signing next Friday, plus night 1 of the WWE 2024 Draft will start.

Naomi makes her entrance and the fans love her. She will be challenging Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship and clearly a lot of women on the roster have their eyes on this one.

This match will start after the break.

We then go up to Kayla Braxton in a luxury box with the returning Damage CTRL. They haven't been seen since WrestleMania. Dakota Kai cuts a scathing promo and makes it clear they're the most dominant force in WWE. As she talks, she gets interrupted by Jade Cargill's music! Jade and Bianca Belair are then shown walking out to the luxury box right next to Damage CTRL! Damage CTRL then yells at them.

From there, Naomi's music hits as she makes her way out!

Carlito then decides to go to the ropes. He climbs up, but Elektra Lopez gets on the apron. Zelina pulls her down and climbs up going fora rana. Lopez catches her and slams her into the barricade. From there, Santos uses the ropes to low blow Carlito behind the referee's back. He then throws Carlito into the ring post and hits the Phantom Driver. This one is over.

Santos Escobar defeats Carlito by pinfall

Santos continues to build momentum, but Carlito continues to struggle.

As we return from the commercial break, Santos Escobar is in charge. He hits a big chop on Carlito and then running knees, causing Carlito to sink. Instead, Santos picks him up and puts him on the ropes. Escobar then hits a super rana! One, two, but Carlito kicks out before three. A frustrated Santos then clubs away at Carlito and locks in a hold.

Zelina fires Carlito up from ringside and the fans get behind Carlito. He hits several strikes and a few clotheslines. Carlito then hits a back elbow and a running knee lift. Carlito goes for a pin but Santos kicks out at two.

Carlito dominates early on, but Santos hits a big kick. He hits the ropes only to run into a dropkick. Carlito then hits a dropkick-baseball slide variation followed by a dive to the floor.

Carlito then celebrates by putting Zelina Vega on his shoulders we go to break. Interestingly, Wade Barrett kept mentioning Carlito not winning gold since returning and how he seems frustrated backstage.

Next up, Carlito comes out with the Latino World Order. The group all goes to the back, except for Zelina Vega, who comes out with Carlito to the ring. Then Santos Escobar comes out with Elektra Lopez. From there, we see another interview with Legado as a whole from earlier in the day. Santos again denies being involved in the attack on Dragon Lee.

Carlito vs. Santos Escobar

The two men start off immediately brawling. Carlito hits a back elbow and a Vader-style body attack. Carlito then clubs away at Santos.

Backstage, Paul Heyman is still in shock and Nick Aldis shows up and grabs him. He brings Paul to the parking lot and reveals a car accident. He says one belongs to Kevin Owens and one to Tama Tonga. Paul says it wasn't authorized. Nick says with the draft next week, there will be a lot of executives around and that can't happen. The action must stay in the ring. Heyman says he understands. Nick says to make sure he tells The Bloodline as losing isn't the thing that has consequences, seemingly hinting at Paul's career being on the line. Could Nick Aldis fire him?!

Tama loses his temper and grabs a chair, but Nick Aldis gets in the way. Solo Sikoa has Tama stop as the crowd chants "you suck" at this new Bloodline. Wow, what an angle. They are firing on all cylinders here.

Solo and Tama pose on the ramp as Heyman looks on in fear. "What is happening in The Bloodline?" - Corey Graves. We then go to break.

Tama enters the ring and he and Solo throw up the ones as medical and staff help a bloody Kevin Owens out. Paul Heyman looks terrified. Despite being hurt, Kevin staggers to the ring and pulls Tama Tonga to the floor. He tries to fight him, but Solo levels Owens!

As security and referees come out, Tama and Owens fight in the ring, but Solo levels KO with a Samoan Spike. Tama then repeatedly beats up Kevin in the ring. He starts to hit security. This is chaos!

Solo Sikoa says last week he had to lose a brother in order to find a new one. The crowd is loudly booing him. He then says his MFT is Tama Tonga. He looks to the ramp and Kevin Owens is shown in clear pain! Tama Tonga drags him out and throws him down the ramp. Owens is COVERED in blood, wow!

Back from break and Paul Heyman has a microphone. He says he doesn't know if there's a list of the best backstage manipulators, but if there is, he'd be near the top. Paul then says he will take this chance to explain the politics going on and is interrupted by a loud "We want Roman" chant. Wow! He is so over. Paul Heyman says as The Wiseman for - before he can continue, Solo rips the mic out of his hand.

"Solo sucks" chants and when he talks, the crowd starts to boo him, almost Dominik Mysterio style. This is great.

Monday on RAW:

- A Battle Royal to crown a new Women's World Champion.
- DIY vs. Awesome Truth for the World Tag Team Titles.

Backstage, Heyman says Kevin Owens has to be somewhere they just need to find him. Solo is angry and Paul makes it clear he's not trying to anger him. Paul says respectfully that Solo is making decisions that aren't his to make yet. These are decisions that can only be made by one man, Heyman says. Solo asks if Heyman is done yet and intimidates him. Paul asks if Tama is coming with him and Solo laughs, holding up his thumb, before walking out to the crowd.

Solo is still in his suit and his theme is great.

Commentary notes Bayley vs. Naomi is tonight's main event. They said its a stark contrast to what happened on RAW, where we see Rhea Ripley open the show and reveal that she's injured and thus vacated the belt. They fully position Rhea as the babyface in that package.

From there, Byron Saxton interviews Bayley backstage. He asks what her thoughts are on what happened with Rhea. She says the injury makes her appreciate being champion more. She also inaccurately says she's the only women's champion in WWE right now, despite the Kabuki Warriors and Roxanne Perez all holding gold.

In the ring, Tyler Bate goes for the Tyler Driver, but Berto counters it and gets an inside cradle. He levels Bate with a clothesline and tags Angel in. The two hit a double team move and Berto hits a dive on Pete. Angel hits a Lionsault and then Montez hits a Frog Splash! Angelo tags himself in and then The Street Profits hit their finisher! This one is over!

The Street Profits defeat AOP, New Catch Republic, and Legado del Fantasma

The Street Profits will now be the contenders for A-Town Down Under. Great match!

The fireflies are out during this match with the crowd holding them up. Honoring Bray Wyatt or another teaser? They are still loud and into the match though. The Street Profits hit a huge blockbuster on Berto, but Pete Dunne stops the match from ending. This is great.

Tyler Bate tags in and he's a house of fire. He takes out both members of Legado. As everybody fights on the floor, Tyler and Pete do dual moonsaults and Ford dives over the ropes at the same time! This is chaos!

Back from break and AOP are again in control. Angelo Dawkins is getting beaten down, including taking a brutal powerbomb. Grayson Waller says he, Michael Cole, and Snooki are the WrestleMania GOATs.

AOP attempt to powerbomb NCR, but they fight out. Then all three teams begin to beat down the Authors of Pain! They knew they had to, as the Authors of Pain were too much. This then leads to the other three teams fighting it out, including a big kick from Berto for a nearfall!

Next up, Angel and Berto lift Tyler Bate up and throws him at everybody. Berto and Angel then hit a crazy Doomsday powerbomb dropkick for a nearfall, but Pete breaks it up. This is awesome. This match is insane. Bate and Dunne put in dueling ankle locks, but they're kicked away as we go to commercial break again.

Back from break and the Authors of Pain are in control. Akam and Rezar dominate Montez Ford, but Ford finally tags out to Pete Dunne. The New Catch Republic run in and the crowd erupts. They double team Angel, Berto, and AOP. Rezar tries to get back but Tyler hits the bop and bang. The Street Profits then come in and help Tyler Bate put Rezar on his shoulders! He starts an airplane spin, but Legado breaks it up to boos. This is so fun.

Profits go after Tyler Bate and soon both The Street Profits and New Catch Republic are on the ropes. AOP show up and we have a huge tower of doom spot!

Tyler Bate and Montez Ford start things off with both men showing off their athleticism and skills. They go back and forth, but Angel and Berto manage to cause chaos.

Notably, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller are special guest commentators for this match. The Final Testament are then out next. The entire group is here, but it is The Authors of Pain competing.

AOP vs. New Catch Republic vs. The Street Profits vs. Legado del Fantasma

Waller tears down the men in the match, saying he and Austin are the only superstars.

Back from break and Kayla Braxton interviews Naomi ahead of her title match tonight. Kayla asks if this match could get in the way of her friendship, or rather, if the friendship can get in the way of the title match. Naomi makes it clear that nothing will stop her in her first title shot in around two years. She says she'll walk into the draft as the new WWE Women's Champion.

Back in the arena, Legado del Fantasma's music is plaing and Angel and Berto make their way to the ring to join The Street Profits and New Catch Republic.

Aldis then reveals they may lose their titles if they keep goofing around and the Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match starts now. The Street Profits then come out with B-Fab and Bobby Lashley, though they stay at the ramp. The Profits shake hands with Triple H before getting into the ring. New Catch Republic them come out next.

This one will start after the break!

Grayson takes the microphone and calls Awesome Truth the secondary champions. They then give Triple H a bit of lip, but The Game reveals they will now be known as the WWE Tag Team Champions. The belts look awesome—similar to past belts but without a giant W. Wow! Very cool.

Waller then teases, shaking Triple H's hand, but mocks him. Aldis then says if they disrespect Triple H again, he'll permanently make "A-Clown Down Under" disappear.

It was good to see him praise Pearce and Aldis, as both have done quite well. Triple H says history needs to be represented well, and those who make it need to be represented. This leads to Nick Aldis welcoming A-Town Down Under, Grayson Waller, and Austin Theory. They then come out to a lot of boos.

The screen went to static and a QR code popped up during Triple H's entrance. It may have been another Uncle Howdy teaser! Random, or will the debut involve Triple H in some way?

Triple H gets loud chants and he again praises the business WWE has been doing. He claims 15,000 strong are in the building and the crowd cheers him on. He then says both Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis are doing a great job leading their respective brands into the future and the future is bright.

Aldis is standing by a podium. It looks like the SmackDown Tag Team Titles will be re-named. He introduces Triple H, who comes out to a big pop from the crowd.

We're back from break, and WWE hypes up the RAW stars in the UK. It is then revealed that we will be hearing from Cody Rhodes later tonight!

From there, we see SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis in the ring.

Next, we see a recap of The Bloodline saga from last week, including the debut of Tama Tonga. From there, Solo Sikoa is shown suited up and arrives in a limo. Paul tries to welcome him when Tama Tonga arrives. Solo intimidates Heyman and demands that he be taken to Kevin Owens.

What will The Bloodline do next?

Knight goes for the BFT, but AJ gets away. On the apron, AJ manages to jab The Megastar in the eye. He then hits a Phenomenal Forearm, and this one is over! AJ wins!

AJ Styles defeats LA Knight by pinfall

Although it was not a clean win, AJ will now fight Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Backlash France.

Back from the break, Knight is hitting repeated strikes while the crowd loudly chants, "YEAH!" Both men hit the ropes and run for a crossbody, and collide in mid-air, leading to a double down. They both get up and do the yay/boo punch spot, but the crowd chants "YEAH" instead of yay for Knight. The commentary points out that LA believes his career won't be complete without a major title win.

Knight hits repeated kicks and strikes, including a running knee in the corner, and the crowd loves it. The Megastar then puts AJ on the ropes. He gets pushed away, but the Knight runs and jumps the ropes and hits a beautiful superplex for the nearfall!

LA Knight repeatedly slams AJ's face against the announce table. AJ returns to the ring, and Knight follows, only to get hit. However, Knight manages to toss AJ back to the floor and hits a dropkick through the ropes.

While we go to break, Wade Barrett notably mentioned Mia Yim being horrified by AJ Styles' recent behavior. Is there more drama in the stable to come? That was possibly a teaser.

A sign in the crowd reads, "I yeeted all over myself." Well, that's something.

AJ Styles and LA Knight face off and then lock up. The crowd is firmly behind The Megastar. Knight backs AJ up, but Styles hits a cheap shot and locks in a headlock. Knight fights out and puts on a headlock of his own. AJ goes for a dropkick but misses as the crowd chants "LA Knight." Knight then hits a few strikes and sends AJ to the floor.

A replay shows LA Knight defeating Santos Escobar and Bobby Lashley in a Triple-Threat Match. The winner of this bout will decide Cody Rhodes' number one contender. AJ Styles' music then hits next. From there, highlights are shown of AJ defeating Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio last week to earn this spot against Knight.
