LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso

This bout will start after the break.

Belair says she usually smiles through things, but this time, she can't let it go. She says she's been consumed with vengeance. Bianca said she talked to Nick Aldis, and she will take on IYO SKY for the WWE Women's Championship at Crown Jewel. She also revealed a big match with Bayley next week!

Damage CTRL is shown backstage, and the trio looks worried.

Back from break, Bianca is about to talk for the first time since Damage CTRL injured her.

She says she's just getting started after getting her lick back last week. She says one thing has been replaying in her head over and over. This leads to footage of Damage CTRL's attack on Belair two months ago that took her out of action.

Belair says it is still hard to watch. She says she got stronger while being out, but her mind could only think about how to make Damage CTRL pay.

Next, WWE shows a video package of Charlotte Flair vs. IYO SKY from last week and Bianca Belair's return to SmackDown.

Bianca then comes out with Damage CTRL, looking on from backstage with disgust.

The two begin trading pins, but Lee hits a big knee to the back of Cedric's head. Dragon calls for the end and hits his finisher for the win!

Post-match, Cedric offers his hand to Lee, and the two shake to applause from the crowd.

A video package then airs, highlighting Cedric! Much needed.

Backstage, LA Knight talks about The Bloodline and that they need to worry about who they're angering, not vice versa. LA Knight says tonight he will grab Jimmy Uso by his "pigtails" and ride him around the ring.

Up next is Dragon Lee!

Drago Lee vs. Cedric Alexander

This should be a good one, and it'll start once we're back from break.

Heyman says the match Cena must win, but he can't win. Paul then says it isn't a prediction. It is a spoiler. Then Solo Sikoa jumps John! He hits the Spinning Solo, tees up the Samoan Spike, and nails it!

Paul says Cena's loss to Roman in the past proved he isn't the greatest of all time in the ring, but he is the best when it comes to communicating with fans. He says John could've had a career for life being like Heyman until he messed with The Bloodline.

Paul said Jimmy or Roman could hurt Cena, but he would return. Instead, Solo will use his Samoan Spike to crush John Cena's windpipe, taking away Cena's biggest attribute left.

Heyman says he's out not representing anything but the truth. He offers Cena a handshake, and Cena accepts. Paul talks about drafting John Cena to SmackDown from OVW back in 2002. He mentions Cena being a real-life hero.

Cena questions if he still has it, but he doesn't want to lose this. So, Crown Jewel is a must-win situation.

As he fires up, Paul Heyman interrupts.

Cena talks about giving his heart and soul to the crowd, the energy the fans give back, and the support he's needed. He then says, most importantly, the fans have given him their respect. Loud Cena chants interrupt John.

John says the reason why Crown Jewel is so serious is that he fears he's in jeopardy of losing the fans' respect and support at Crown Jewel. Cena tries to talk, but loud "You've still got it chants" echo now. Fans adore this man.

John Cena is extremely over, as you'd expect. He mentions tonight being special and Milwaukee being sold out. Not sure if I'm reading too much into things, but John seems emotional.

He then notes that the energy is different for him, as it's special, but the energy is serious. He says it hasn't been this serious since WWE wanted to fire him 20 years ago.

Back from break and it's time for John Cena! This could be one of the last times fans see him, as he's possibly leaving after Crown Jewel next weekend.

RAW preview!

Seth Rollins vs. JD McDonagh and Natalya vs. Chelsea Green in a Trick or Street Fight confirmed!

Chelsea reverses a superplex and then hits a missile dropkick from the ropes. She gets arrogant and cockily covers Shotzi, but the horror-loving star counters the pin and picks up a quick victory!

Chelsea Green vs. Shotzi

We quickly go to commercial before the tag team champions can come out.

Shotzi was backstage talking to Nick Aldis earlier today, thanking him for allowing her to host NXT Halloween Havoc. Piper Niven and Chelsea Green interrupt and talk down to Shotzi. The short-haired star then asks for a match with Chelsea tonight.

Dragon Lee is shown backstage, but his interview is interrupted by a returning Cedric Alexander. Cedric reminds people of his past and says seeing Lee lights up the competitive fire in him. Alexander then challenges Dragon to a match tonight, and Lee accepts!

Back from break, Cathy Kelley runs into Logan Paul and asks what made The Maverick sucker punch Rey. He cuts the interview off quickly and walks away before having a stare-down with Kevin Owens, who has a Rey shirt on.

Owens then walks into Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. They argue and go back and forth, but the producers interrupt. Austin and Grayson gloat, and Owens shows back up, punching both. The segment also featured Jamie Noble!

Backstage with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman in the locker room. Heyman says he will give Knight a Green Bay Packers replica belt because it's the closest the Packers or Knight are to becoming champion. Jimmy Uso then shows up in pain. Roman tells Jimmy he needs to handle Knight tonight. Jimmy says he's on the injured list, but when Roman looks annoyed, he says he's off of it.

Heyman goes to make LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso for tonight.

Santos succumbs to the number's gain and takes The Street Profits' newish finisher, The Revelation. It's all over.

Logan Paul is then shown jumping Rey backstage! Santos tells Carlito to check on Rey. Escobar calls for the LWO in the corner and hits the big knees to Ford.

Dawkins hit his big splash in the corner and a kick, but as he got overconfident, Santos hit a running knee out of nowhere! The fans are ready for a tag, and Santos crawls over, tagging Carlito in! Montez comes in at the same time, and Carlito knocks down both members of The Street Profits, hitting a suplex and a sit-out spinebuster on Montez.

Montez Ford locks in another hold on Santos, but Escobar again fights out. He hits a few big strikes, but Ford cuts him off again with a big clothesline! Dawkins tags in, and The Street Profits hit a big double flapjack.

Back from break, Montez Ford is in control over Santos Escobar. Santos attempts a sunset flip to reverse things but gets kicked for his trouble. Montez clubs Santos down in the ring as Rey Mysterio is shown watching the match from backstage. Ford locks in a camel clutch, and the crowd starts cheering Santos on. He begins fighting out, hitting Ford, but a distraction from Dawkins leads to Escobar getting knocked back down.

The match officially begins, and Angelo Dawkins and Santos Escobar are putting on a show. They're both moving quickly, and trading holds to gain momentum. Santos eventually takes control and tags Carlito in to a big pop from the crowd. He lays out Dawkins, but a distraction from Lashley allows Angelo to take advantage, but it is brief.

Carlito hits a big dropkick and then hits a dive onto both Street Profits outside of the ring as we go back to commercial.

Back from break and Carlito and Santos are ready for action. Bobby Lashley's music then plays. Next, The Street Profits come out to new theme music! They are officially heels, that seals the deal!
