The show kicked right off with the SmackDown Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte, a rematch from Saturday. Wasting no time, we were greeted with the official holding up the title and the two women were already in the ring as the show began.
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte - SmackDown Women's Championship match
The two had a little back and forth before Charlotte almost got the roll-up pin. She indicated to Becky that she was seconds away from a win. She kicked Becky towards the turnbuckle but the champion slammed her against one turnbuckle after the other.
Both connected with a pair of sick clotheslines, neutralizing one another. The Queen hit the neckbreaker and then ate a knee to the face. Becky Lynch used the bottom rope to propel herself into a kick to Charlotte's gut.
After an incredible back and forth, Charlotte slingshotted Becky headfirst into the turnbuckle. Charlotte jumped the ropes and threw herself onto the champ. Becky Lynch hit Charlotte with a Bexploder but it was not enough to keep her out.
The Queen began with a barrage of chest slaps and Irish whipped Becky into the ropes before hitting a suplex. Charlotte began the ascent to the top but got her legs pulled from under her by the champ, who climbed on top herself and missed a crossbody
She got Charlotte down and once again climbed to the top turnbuckle but The Queen stopped her in her tracks again. Becky just got in an armbar out of nowhere from the top turnbuckle. Charlotte had her arm gripped and tried to power out, successfully lifting and slamming her. The champ kicked out.
After the break, Becky Lynch once again took the title and walked away. Charlotte was having none of it and dragged her back in. The champ pushed Charlotte towards the referee and tried to hit her with the title. The ref saw it and was about to DQ her but she didn't connect so it was fine.
Charlotte then tried the roll-up pin and almost got pinned herself. She missed a moonsault outside and was a second away from being counted out. Back inside, Charlotte landed the natural selection but the champion wisely rolled out of the ring. The brawl ensued outside the ring and the two got counted out.
Result: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte ended in a double count-out
After the match, Becky walked away and Charlotte speared her through the entrance screen, shattering a part of it and injuring herself.

The Miz TV with AJ Styles & Daniel Bryan
The Miz complained right off the bat that Paige told him he must be "professional" with his two guests. The Miz asked Styles how his family is after his war with Samoa Joe. Styles seemed touchy but Miz assured him that he has a kid too and it didn't work out bad for Styles since he did win the match, which is true.
He asked him how he felt now that he has an opponent who didn't use psychological warfare, a guy who, if he went to Styles' house would tend to his garden, a guy who won't attack him from behind. He unenthusiastically introduces Daniel Bryan.
AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan shook hands in a show of respect. Miz told them no one wants to see that. Bryan took a shot at him for beating him fast. The Miz hit back saying that he's going to act professionally. He asked Styles where Bryan ranks among his opponents. He also tried to instigate a war between the two.
Bryan understood what Miz was doing. He also said that AJ Styles had earned the right to think he's better, but that he knows that he can beat AJ Styles. The champ told him that since he's come back, Brian has never faced anyone like him.
Styles said he's not moving out of the way for Bryan and then asked him how it feels to punch The Miz in the face. The Miz lost it and said that his win was a fluke at Super Show-Down.
He said he's reviewed the footage and his shoulder was up. He then took a shot at Styles saying that the title has never been more irrelevant. He asked him "You know why the WWE title never headlines PPVs? Look in the mirror". He then set him up with a match against Shelton Benjamin.
AJ Styles vs. Shelton Benjamin
AJ Styles and Shelton Benjamin began the competition in a series of holds, with Benjamin slowing AJ Styles down early. Styles began to fight back and stopped him in his tracks by lifting his legs to the face. He jumped for the Phenomenal forearm but Benjamin quickly caught him with a flying knee.
Benjamin knocked AJ out of the ring on and sent him into the barricades outside as we headed for commercials. AJ hit a huge phenomenal forearm as we returned and got the very easy three count to win the match.
Result: AJ Styles def. Shelton Benjamin

One night in Milwaukee Pt.II
Aiden English was out and he gave us a "director's cut" of One Night In Milwaukee. He played the rest of the footage and it showed Lana saying "I want you....to know how much you mean to Rusev." Aiden English then went close to her and things looked to be heading a certain way but he paused it. He refused to show the rest of the footage.
Aiden said that "Everyone knows what happens next" and called out Rusev. He told him to kick Lana to the curb and reunite Rusev Day. Lana came out and Rusev was forced to make a choice. Lana then revealed that if he didn't play the rest of the footage, she will. She revealed that he got hacked. His password was "IheartRusev".
The rest of the footage played and it showed Lana stepping back and rejecting Aiden English, telling him he misunderstood. After being exposed, Aiden English said the offer to Lana still stands and that if she gets bored of Rusev Day, she can still have Aiden Nights. Rusev chased him and beat him down, forcing him to flee the arena.
