Ricky says Trick shouldn't be overlooking him. He says Trick is looking at the new US champ. Trick says he should focus on who his dentist will be when he kicks his teeth down his throat. Yachty speaks up and Ricky punches him. Ricky slides out. Trick turns his back and Ricky hits him with the mic from behind. 

Alexa Bliss is interviewed. She says Charlotte Flair feels physical and emotional pain. Bliss says she will get revenge on Jade's crew even if she has to team up with Tiffany Stratton.

Solo Sikoa talks to Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga. Solo asks if they saw what happened to Jimmy and says Roman won't like it. Tama says they saw and are tired of getting dragged into Solo's war. Tama says Solo's obsession with Roman is tearing the group apart. Tama says they told him to stay back and they didn't listen. Tama says they now have no gold and now Solo is helping LA Knight. Talla says they got word from the elders and says him and Tama are out. Solo says they can't leave and Tama says they just did. Solo says he brought them here and they can't just leave. He says nobody leaves him.

Thoughts: I'm interested to see where things go. They fired the other MFT's. I think Tama does have enough talent to be like a US Title level guy but I think Talla and Solo need to be part of a group.

Solo says he hates the family and The Bloodline. He says he hates Fatu, The Uso's and Roman. Solo says one thing they have in common is that they don't like Bloodline. LA says Solo should hate Roman and so should Jimmy, Jey and Jacob. LA says Roman did more to them than Solo and they are under him again.

LA thinks he will join him again and asks why this is different. Solo says he has nothing to lose and no family. Solo says it's just him now. He says the enemy of his enemy can be friends. Solo says they can work together, be partners and take out Bloodline.

He says it doesn't matter. Sami says the universe is giving him a chance to redeem himself after he behaved well after losing The Royal Rumble.

Miz and Kit disappears and Dan looks for him. Los Garza come in and ask Matt where Dan is. Matt tells them to find him themselves. 

Finn Balor talks to Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga in the back. He says Tama is now reminding him of the Tama he used to run with. Tama says it was a long time ago. He says Shinsuke is in his past too and we saw how that went.

Danhausen comes out with The Miz and Kit Wilson, who are acting like zombies. Dan talks on the mic. Dan does MizTV's intro and says welcome to Danhausen.

Thoughts: Green wrestled here like she was a rookie and knew nothing about wrestling. I didn't like that and it made things very awkward. Green lost as expected and it wasn't much of note.

Jade beats up on Green after then Bliss and Tiff come out to save her. Michin and B-Fab come out and the faces fight them. The heels get the edge, triple team Tiff and Jade hits a jade end on Tiff.

Seth says he brought him into his vision and it's time to right the wrongs. Seth says sometimes the easiest way to get out of a situation is to run through it. Bron says the dog always makes it out in the end.

Trick Williams and Lil Yachty are interviewed. Yachty says they were looking past him but he has earned himself a tricky situation. Trick says he's tired of pretending Ricky is on the same level.

KJ throws her off the top. KJ falcon arrows her for 2. G rolls her up for 2. KJ powerbombs her for 2. G sunset bombs her off the buckles. G running knees her then northern lights bombs her for the win.

Thoughts: I don't agree with Giulia winning here. She's just not exciting enough as a face and she doesn't really have the fire for it. I don't know how much longer this Giulia experiment has to go on because it's not working. If Kiana gets away from this feud, even if she loses, she will be better off. This was just so-so.

Blake Monroe debuts on SD after and attacks Giulia. She drops her with a gotch style piledriver.

Cody Rhodes comes out. Sami Zayn comes out before he can say anything. Sami thanks all of his ride or die fans. Sami says he regret how some things went down last week. He says he was provoked but he's a good guy, the last real good guy. He says he regrets getting physically involved and says it was a mistake. Cody asks if it was a mistake. 

Sami says this is not how he wanted things to go with Cody. Cody says enough and says this is how Sami wanted it. Cody says things are really looking up for Sami when he's supposed to be a guy who doesn't get many breaks. He says Sami isn't a victim, he's exhausting. He says he doesn't get how he can be best friends with Kevin Owens. He says Owens would have came out and stabbed him in the front and not the back. He says Owens also has been WWE champ.

Sami says to keep Owens' name out of his mouth. Sami says Cody is only champ because of him and should be thanking him. He says the reason Cody won't be WWE champ at NoC is because of him. 

Gunther comes out and asks what the drama is about. He says he doesn't care and wants the title. Gun says he would be champ if Sami didn't screw him. Gun says Sami is wrong though as Sami won't leave with the title, and he will. Jey Uso comes out. He wants to run it back and Gun says not on his time. 

Jey says he will punch his ticket to Summerslam when he wins KOTR. He gives out warning shots to Cody and Sami. Jey says he will tap him out like a little b!tch again. They all end up fighting. The lights go out and Oba Femi comes out. 

Cody gets distracted and Jey superkicks Cody. Oba stares down Jey. Gunther rainmakers Jey. Sami hits Gunther with a title. Cody hits a cross rhodes on Sami. Cody holds his title up at Oba.

Overall thoughts: Storyline wise, the show was good. They've got a lot going on with Sami/Cody/Gunther, LA and maybe Solo vs Bloodline, Danhausen turning Miz/Kit into zombies and Tiff/Chelsea doing their thing. I can't say I'm that into it though. Wrestling wise, the show was below average. We had a lot of women's matches and those were only so good and wrestling wise, I didn't love a single thing here. I also thought there was way too much talking here and I got tired of seeing Byron Saxton after his 3rd appearance. Smackdown moves back to 2 hours next week and I'm excited for that. The show just drags at 3 hours and there's too many commercials. They also just don't have the starpower. I'd blame that on a mix of relying on older talent, NXT Black and Gold focusing on indy wrestling over producing stars, AEW's existence and WWE making some bad choices on picking future stars (Priest, Solo, Balor, Giulia, Jade and others). I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and would say it was okay overall.
