PLAY BY PLAY

Drew McIntyre arrives backstage.

And is immediately attacked by Damian Priest! The Archer of Infamy and the Scottish Terminator are #OnSight with each other, and the brawl is on! Priest gets the edge, but then Drew RAMS him into a road case! Security and producers pull these two apart, but it takes a lot of them! Will these two have to be sent home so they can make it to tomorrow night’s Steel Cage match?

Tiffany Stratton is here!

Savannah, Georgia fires up as the WWE Women’s Champion struts her way to the ring. And even after a red hot battle last week, it is still Tiffy Time! Tiff has the mic to ask, “Savannah, Georgia, what time is it?” “TIFFY TIME!” Tiff says that is right. So much can change in over a year. This time last year, she was walking into Money in the Bank with all the hype in the world. Some thought she was in over her head, but here she is, standing as THE WWE Women’s Champion! The fans cheer that! And along the way, she has beaten some of the best. On the Grandest Stage of Them All, she beat Charlotte Flair!

And just last week, she kicked Nia Jax’s face off! And in two weeks at MITB, someone will have the same opportunity as Tiff had. So word of advice to whoever wins: If you try cashing in on Tiff, just know- Wait! Alexa Bliss is here! Savannah fires up all over again as Lil’ Miss Bliss makes her way down to the ring, then grabs herself a mic. Bliss says she and Tiff haven’t been formally introduced. Alexa is a former women’s champion, and a former Miss MITB. And Tiff, Alexa has had her eye on you. Tiff caught Alexa’s eye when Tiff beat Charlotte at Mania. And Alexa felt a little bad for Charlotte, but then remembered you can’t feel bad for a narcissist who calls herself The Queen.

Alexa doesn’t need to do stuff like that. But what she does need is the briefcase hanging up there, because Tiffy… Is it okay if Alexa calls her that? Tiff says yes. Alexa tells Tiffy that this is all business. Tiff cashed in on Nia, just like Alexa. But the difference is, Alexa actually liked Nia. She doesn’t know Tiff. So Tiff better pray that Alexa doesn’t win. If you think that rise to the top was quick, just wait for the downfall. But wait! Now Charlotte Flair makes her way out here! The fans boo The Queen, but she struts out in her black feathered robe, gets her pyro, and also gets a mic. Charlotte puts the robe aside and is dressed for her match.

Charlotte tells everyone that if there’s one thing she’s known for is humility. She might be the most humble 14-TIME champion in the history of the WWE! Now, she wants to humbly congratulate Tiff for beating her at Mania. “Tiffany, sweetie, you’re doing great. But it’s not gonna last forever.” And the thing is, Charlotte’s done everything there is to do in the WWE except win the Women’s MITB. So when she does win, and she cashes in, not only will Charlotte take that title back, she plans on taking back the spotlight! Fans chant “Charlotte Sucks!” but Charlotte says when she wants something, she doesn’t wait, she just takes!

Tiff tells “Char” that she is lowkey giving hypocrite. Didn’t Charlotte say that cashing in was the “easy way?” Then why is Charlotte trying to qualify? ANd to be honest, Charlotte and Alexa are both a little… vintage for Tiff. They were the standard, she’s the upgrade! Whether they like it or not, but as long as Tiff is champion, it’ll always be Tiffy Time~! Tiff drops the mic, waves tootles, and then holds up her title on the way out. But will it still be her title after Money in the Bank? Or will she be the prime target for Miss MITB 2025? Well, speaking of that match, Giulia makes her entrance! Will MITB succumb to the Beautiful Madness? Or will wrestling royalty take over?

Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifier Triple Threat: Charlotte Flair VS Zelina Vega VS Giulia!

SmackDown returns as Zelina makes her entrance, going full Prominence Burn with her entrance attire. One month as Women’s US Champion, could the inaugural Queen of the Ring soon add “Miss MITB” to her list of accomplishments?

It was an instant classic, and now the former NXT Women’s Champion is going to be one step away from a new prize! Will she make this the Beautiful Madness in the Bank and snatch a title just as quickly?

#DIY speaks.

Tommaso Ciampa says, “Ever since we came to SmackDown last year, we have turned this tag team division into the best on the planet.” Johnny Gargano adds, “We did that!” The Profits hold the gold, but every time DIY takes a step forward, Motor City Machine Guns are breathing down their neck. Shelley, Sabin, the only thing they ever did was piggyback off Gargano’s friendship to get into this company. MCMG likes to say that they are your favorite tag team’s favorite tag team. Talk about egotistical sociopaths! And if that wasn’t enough, there are the young rookies, Fraxiom, adding to the delusion! Frazer goes on social media shouting from the mountaintops, “Oh, thank you, MCMG!”

How pathetic! Add Fraxiom to the long list of people trying to hold DIY back! Conspiring against them! And after last month, the brutal TLC, it is clear that something needs to change. That change begins tonight, when Ciampa takes on Sabin 1v1. And Ciampa promises that when this entire story is done, you are looking at the THREE-TIME WWE Tag Team Champions, D I Y! Ciampa storms off, but will the Sicilian Psycho scratch Sabin off their hitlist? Or is it time for the Machine Guns to fire back?

Zelina returns backstage.

The Women’s US Champion is clearly upset over her loss, but Chelsea Green walks over. She has her Secret Her-vice stand down, there is absolutely no threat here. But it is amazing how Zelina manages to be a champion and yet still a loser. How does she do it? Zelina ROCKS Chelsea, and then the Secret Her-vice mugs Zelina! But Mia Yim SMACKS Alba with a kendo stick! Piper DECKS Mia, B-Fab runs up and it is chaos! Nick Aldis shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH! Everyone just calm down!” Mia says Zelina got Chelsea, but she & B-Fab need to get after the Secret Her-vice tonight! Aldis likes the sound of that! They’ll do it TONIGHT!

B-Fab says see you later! Will Piper & Alba pay for Chelsea’s crimes? Or will there be no getting past the Green Regime?

Chris Sabin w/ Alex Shelley VS Tommaso Ciampa w/ Johnny Gargano!

SmackDown returns as DIY makes their entrance. The bell rings and Ciampa circles with Sabin. They tie up, Ciampa pulls Sabin’s ear, and he puts Sabin in a corner. The ref counts, Ciampa lets off, but Sabin avoids the cheap shot! Sabin arm-drags Ciampa and the two reset. The fans rally, the two circle, and they knuckle lock. Sabin spins to wrench and headlock. Ciampa powers up and out but Sabin runs him over! Cover, ONE, but Sabin arm-drags to an armlock. Ciampa endures, fights up, but Sabin hammerlocks. Ciampa slips through, but Sabin puts the hammerlock right back on! Sabin grinds the arm, Ciampa reaches out, but Sabin pulls him back.

Ciampa again tries to get free but Sabin just puts the hammerlock right back on him. Ciampa ELBOWS Sabin down, shakes out the bad arm, then he whips Sabin into buckles. Ciampa stomps away, the ref counts, but Ciampa stops at 4. The fans boo but Ciampa soaks up the heat. Ciampa stalks Sabin while Gargano talks trash. Ciampa wrenches and CHOPS Sabin, then snapmares for a STOMP! Sabin clutches his face but Ciampa pushes him to a cover, ONE!! Ciampa is frustrated but he stomps Sabin’s hand! Ciampa stomps Sabin around, drags him up, and whips. Sabin ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls to RANA!

Ciampa gets up, Sabin arm-drags again, and Ciampa bails out. Gargano cools Ciampa down, but Sabin PLANCHAS! Ciampa rolls in, Sabin lands safe on the apron, but Ciampa throws Gargano’s jacket at him! Sabin is stuck, WILLOW’S BELL! Sabin flops out and the fans boo, but Ciampa whips him into barriers! The fans are torn but DIY clap and pat themselves on the back while SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Sabin BULLDOGS Ciampa! The fans fire up while both men are down! Ciampa and Sabin crawl to opposite corners, then stand. Ciampa runs up, Sabin BOOTS him, then LARIATS! And LARIATS! Sabin blocks a kick, SWEEPS the leg, then PENALTY KICKS, but Ciampa blocks! Ciampa stands, but Sabin wrenches and STRAITJACKET GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up as Sabin runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! Cover, TWO! Ciampa scrambles to the outside and Gargano checks on him. Sabin goes to the apron, Ciampa dodges and hops up. Ciampa ROCKS Sabin, Sabin ROCKS Ciampa, repeat!

The CHOPS go back and forth and the fans “WOO~” with each one! Ciampa fires up, ducks a chop, and picks Sabin up for an APRON AIR RAID CRASH!! Cover, TWO!! Sabin survives and the fans fire up! Ciampa snarls and looms over Sabin. Ciampa drags Sabin up, brings him around, and reels him in.

Ciampa survives and the fans fire up again as Sabin climbs. Sabin aims as Ciampa rises, but Gargano distracts him!

The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but now Shelley is after Gargano. Gargano backs off, Ciampa runs up, but Sabin dodges! The BOOT hits Shelley, Sabin rolls Ciampa, TWO!! Sabin staggers, dodges Ciampa, and Ciampa tumbles out! Sabin builds speed to TRIANGLE JUMP PLANCHA! Down goes DIY! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Sabin rises, he fetches Ciampa into the ring, “This is Awesome!” as Sabin climbs a corner. Ciampa CHOPS first! Ciampa climbs up after Sabin, reels him in, but Sabin fires body shots! Sabin ROCKS Ciampa, Ciampa falls, and he clutches the leg! The ref checks Ciampa and Sabin isn’t sure what to make of this.

BUT CANDICE LERAE IS HERE! She HOTSHOTS Sabin!! PSYCHO KNEE from Ciampa!! Cover, Ciampa wins!!

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall

DIY does it again, and the Poison Pixie is the magic difference maker! Will this “change” be what helps DIY take over SmackDown?

Backstage interview with Fraxiom.

Byron Saxton is with Nathan Frazer & Axiom to bring up their meteoric rise in the WWE. They debuted on SmackDown just a month ago but have been undefeated in that time. How much pressure is there heading into the biggest match of their careers? Frazer says it has been a wild ride, and he’d be lying if he said this wasn’t the biggest night of their lives. Axiom says they can think back on those nights when they were dreaming of an opportunity like this. And tonight is that night! They could become the NEW WWE Tag Team Champions! They’re nervous, because the Profits are one of the best tag teams in the world.

But tonight, the Profits are just a step on Fraxiom’s path to greatness. Frazer agrees with amigo Axiom, because while DIY said that stuff about them, they’re not worried about what DIY said. They are only concerned with the Profits and that if they beat them again, they can become champions! They can make history! If they believe in themselves, if they’re on the same page, then they could take on any tag team on the planet! Byron wishes them luck, but will it be the combination of speed and agility that takes the titles?

Damian Priest heads to the ring.

But before he can properly make an entrance, Drew McIntyre is on him! They brawl again, and Priest sends Drew into barriers! Then he ROCKS Drew! Drew hits back, the fans fire up, and Drew sends Priest into barriers now! Priest ROCKS Drew, Drew kicks Priest, and then Drew POSTS Priest! Security hurries out here but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Producers and refs join in and separate the two. Priest grabs a mic to shout at Drew, “Where you going? You gonna go hide behind your phone? Nah, it’s Guepa Time! Tomorrow, I send your ass to the hospital! But tonight, I’m getting my pound of flesh!”

Priest DOUBLE LARIATS security, then leaps out to attack Drew on the ramp! They brawl, the producers separate them, and Aldis says for these two to be taken away! Drew and Priest are going to be like wild animals inside that Steel Cage, who will even survive Saturday Night’s Main Event?

Solo Sikoa talks with JC Mateo backstage.

Solo knows JC knows, but then Jacob Fatu walks in. Solo says big tag match tonight! Fatu & Mateo, same page, baby. But Fatu wants to talk with Solo in private real quick. Why? Anything he has to say to Solo, he can say to JC. JC’s family now. What is on Fatu’s mind? Fatu says first thing on his mind is that he doesn’t trust JC. He doesn’t know JC. He doesn’t like JC. And he damn sure doesn’t like what Solo’s got going on. See, Fatu didn’t need the help at Backlash. At the end of the day, JC ain’t blood, and he damn sure ain’t family. Solo has JC stand down, and Solo says that aggression is what he is talking about!

Just take that aggression and transfer it to Jimmy Uso & Rey Fenix. Speaking of Jimmy, Solo knows Jimmy is upset that Roman Reigns left. Jimmy is all sad. But y’know who never left? Solo! And he never will. He wants Jimmy to come back, but the only way that can happen is if Fatu and Mateo work together as a family. YADAD- NO, Solo, stop that. That’s not even it. You saying it wrong. But see you out there tonight. Yarrrrrda mean? Solo says he doesn’t hear the difference. But can the Samoan Werewolf and the Imperial Unit tear down #BigJim and the Firebird?

Charlotte Flair walks backstage.

But Alexa says, “And that’s why it’s important to have friends. Because when you don’t, there’s no one there to lift you up when everything falls apart.” Charlotte asks, “What’d you say?” Alexa says she wasn’t talking to Charlotte, she was talking to Lily. But see you at MITB. Oh… Sorry. Alexa leaves The Queen behind, but will Charlotte show she can do bad all by herself?

Mia Yim & B-Fab VS The Secret Her-Vice w/ Chelsea Green!

The Head Baddie in Charge & Miss Fabulous made sure the Green Regime didn’t bully Zelina Vega, and now they’re stepping right up to the Hot Mess’s personal security. Will Mia & Fab kick some serious lass tonight? Or will Alba & Piper pave the way to Chelsea’s “reelection?”

SmackDown returns and Michin makes her entrance, followed right by B-Fab’s. They go to the ring together, and the teams sort out. Piper starts with B-Fab and they tie up. They throw hands in the clinch, then end up on the ropes. Fab keeps firing shots but Alba tags in. Now Alba & Piper mug Fab, then THROW her down! Piper runs to BLAST Mia, Alba sets Fab up and Piper SENTONS! Chelsea applauds, Alba adds a SUPERKICK, and Alba covers, TWO! Alba drags Fab up and puts her in the corner to stomp a mudhole in! Tag to Piper and Chelsea taunts Fab while another Piper stomps another mudhole in!

Tag to Alba, she stomps a mudhole, then argues with the ref so Piper can pull Fab’s hair! Alba KNEES Fab down, tags Piper, and Piper drags Fab up. Piper straitjackets to the COBRA CLUTCH! Fab endures, the fans rally, and Fab fires body shots! Piper ripcords but Fab ducks the lariat, only for Piper to hit a SCRAPBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Fab survives, Chelsea is frustrated, but Piper SLAPS Fab around! Piper kicks Fab around, drags her up, and Piper reels Fab in for a suplex. Fab slips free, reaches out, but Piper keeps her from Mia. Fab wrenches and KNEES Piper down! The fans fire up and Fab crawls, but so does Piper!

Hot tags to Michin and Alba! Mia dodges Alba, ROCKS Piper, then LARIATS Alba! And LARIATS! Mia DROPKICKS Alba and the fans fire up! Mia runs up, whips, but Alba reverses. Mia RANAS Alba away! Mia dusts off, but Piper is in! Mia ROUNDHOSUES Piper, then kicks off Alba to ASAI DDT Piper! Mia has Alba again, but Chelsea distracts everyone! The ref reprimands, but ZELINA is here! She YANKS Chelsea down and KNEES her in the face! The fans fire up for the US Champion, and she runs away! Piper chases her, but Fab LARIATS Piper! But Alba rolls Mia up, TWO! Mia stands, Fab tags in! Mia makes Alba EAT DA FEET!

Fab is in, she has Alba for the NECKBREAKER REMIX! #Fab-U-LOST! Cover, Fab & Mia win!

Winners: Mia Yim & B-Fab, by pinfall

Mia & Fab bail out before Chelsea & Piper can get in! The Green Regime suffers a humiliating defeat, will they pack it in before it gets worse? Or will Chelsea have to resort to some extreme measures to get back in power?

Backstage interview with The Street Profits.

Byron is now with the WWE Tag Team Champions, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins, and says there is a belief out there that all the pressure to win tonight is on them. What? Well, Fraxiom beat them once, and if they do it again, the Profits have to say goodbye to the tag titles. Dawkins says, “Hold up, fam. This is a big night for Fraxiom, this is a big night for us! They got one up on us, and that’s cool, props to them. But tonight, it’s about these! This right here is Gucci! This right here is food on the table! This ain’t no friendly exhibition, and we gonna see under the bright lights if the moment’s too big for Fraxiom.”

Ford adds, “Oh, oh, Fraxiom’s on a roll! Fraxiom’s undefeated! Fraxiom’s the best tag team in the world! All LIES! Okay? Cuz tonight, it’s like he said, we’re gonna see if the moment’s too big for ’em, cuz we gonna walk out of Savannah, Georgia the same way we walked in: YOUR WWE Tag Team Champions!” But then in steps Solo Sikoa with JC Mateo & Jacob Fatu. Solo chuckles, because the family is about to handle their business first. Will nothing stop Solo’s Bloodline from rising from the ashes? Or is that more a Fenix thing?

Legado del Fantasma sits at the table.

Santos Escobar wants to tell Los Garza this. “Angel, Berto, you’re mi familia. And yes, like any other familia, there are a lot of beautiful moments, bonding moments. But sometimes, there’s fighting, there’s bickering. I just know what we are capable of when we come together.” Berto says this is just another stupid pep talk. Santos says it is more than that! This is business. And on June 7th, Worlds Collide in Los Angeles… They will come together as the best this house has to offer, against the best they have to offer. Legado has shown who they are, where they come from, and what they are about across the globe!

And now, this is the opportunity to stand victorious. And this time, it will be in front of their people! Santos will drink to that. Angel stands with Santos, but Berto is reluctant. Santos tells Berto to trust him. See the vision. Berto raises his glass after all, but just to drink. Santos tells Angel to let him be, because soon, Berto will understand. Salud. Legado is set to face AAA’s best in Pagano, Psycho Clown & El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr! But who will be the best of the best when Worlds Collide?

Jimmy Uso & Rey Fenix VS Jacob Fatu & JC Mateo w/ Solo Sikoa!

SmackDown returns and we’re backstage with #BigJim and Fenix. Jimmy gets them fired up. Last week, they were opponents. But tonight, they’re teammates, carnal. What’s Fenix say? Fenix says tonight, for the first time ever, they will show all the beautiful people of Georgia who they are! Jimmy says he’s with it! Vaminos, carnal! ANIMO, UCE! Jimmy makes his entrance first, followed by Fenix. The teams sort out and Jimmy starts against Fatu. The fans rally behind Jimmy as he and Fatu slowly circle.

SmackDown returns and the fans rally for Jimmy as he endures a bearhug from Mateo. Jimmy fights up, fires body shots and elbows, but Mateo shoves him to ELBOW him, JAB him, and YUKON LARIAT him! Mateo then GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULTS! Solo loves it, but he wants Mateo to focus. The fans rally while Mateo and Fatu stare down. Fatu tags in, and he HIP ATTACKS Jimmy!

Backstage interview with LA Knight.

Byron Saxton wants to note the impressive win we just saw, but The Mega Star says, “NAH NAH! You gotta 86 that trash, cuz we’re standing in my locker room right now, so lemme talk to ya! You wanna talk about anything with those cross-eyed halfwits, let’s talk about Solo Sikoa being in Money in the Bank. Let’s talk about the fact that he’s got himself a first-class, front-row seat to watching me monkey rip that case down off that ladder. And what that means is, you think about it, the odds are against me, it’s 1-in-6 chance, but the odds are against everybody. But the odds have been against me ever since I stepped foot, and still I stand here the man they call The Mega Star! YEAH!

“But then I think about it. I’m gonna return to the city that helped make me, Los Ange. I’m gonna walk into Money in the Bank, and what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna show up and I’m gonna show out. But before I get there, I gotta walk through the darkness. Now, what do I mean by that? What I mean by that is tonight, in a little bit, the lights are gonna turn out and out walks Aleister Black. Then the lights are gonna turn out a little bit later, and out’s gonna walk Shinsuke Nakamura. And through all that, the man who’s gonna walk out and shine a little light on a couple guys who are living spooky season year round, NAH NAH! It’s championship season!

“And what that means is that this man has to go through two of ya, on the job, all day, every day, dropping BFTs on everybody, which means one of ya catching three the hard way. Cuz I hit it and quit it, moving on to Money in the Bank. But with or without the case, you gotta understand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I am walking, talking, living, breathing Money in the Bank, with everybody saying…” “L! A! KNIGHT!” “YEAH!!” Knight is ready to make this his night, but will LA be heading home to LA to win the big one?

R-Truth is here!

Savannah cheers but Truth isn’t worried about rapping his theme song as he goes to the ring. Truth steps inside, grabs a mic, and he tells Savannah, “Make some noise! WHAT’S UP!?” “WHAT’S UP?!” Truth will tell ’em what’s up. Everyone keeps asking him, “How’re you gonna handle fighting your childhood hero, John Cena, on Saturday night?” The fans boo, but Truth says they don’t get it. He’s not fighting his childhood hero, John Cena, tomorrow night. The man we all see now, the man who attacked Truth, Truth doesn’t recognize him. But Truth has been thinking about his childhood hero, John Cena.

Truth couldn’t figure out where it went wrong, or how he could’ve prevented this. Then he realized the problem. “What?” Truth says he realized the problem! It’s power. It’s always power! Cena used to call Truth his friend, his brother, but the more power and fame Cena got, the more disconnected he became. The text messages were less. The replies were slower. The phone calls stopped! Truth felt like Cena was always annoyed with him, because no matter what Truth did, it was wrong. Truth blames himself. Then Truth thought he did something to upset Cena, or getting on his nerves. But then Truth talked to others, and they said they felt the same way!

“John Cena isolated himself with power! He was like that goblin fella on Lord of the Rings! He became corrupted with all the power he gave himself. That’s you, John Cena! That’s you! Staring at your championship, calling it Your Precious! It’s not the championship, it’s your ego, dawg!” The fans cheer that. Truth says Cena stopped having fun, and now he’s mad when someone else wants to have fun. The fans also cheer that. Truth doesn’t like who Cena has become. And he doesn’t believe Cena is happy. “What?” “He’s not happy.” Cena is the greatest of all time. He is, y’all! Truth doesn’t know if he can bring Cena back, but he’s gonna try.

Truth says Cena will not take Truth’s joy away from him! The fans cheer that! Truth says, “You wanna ruin wrestling? So if I wanna save wrestling, I gotta save you! Now, I don’t wanna have to put my hands on you, but if I have to… I will beat the ever-living Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect right back in yo ass!” The fans love that! Truth tells he’ll leave us with this. “I miss my hero. I can’t deny it. So Saturday, we fans again! If Cena wins, WE RIOT! WHAT’S UP?!” The fans fire up for that! Will Truth be the one to stop Cena from ruining wrestling and his own legacy?
