After looking at material about signing the deal a week earlier, SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair was interviewed and explained that she would never embarrass herself and say “I’ll quit!” and when Ronda Rousey does so, she will never appear on the WWE program again.
Next, we had a Happy Talk version where Happy Corbin doesn’t waste time insulting Madcap Moss because he had this request to bring the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Prize into the ring. Happy Corbin didn’t expect Madcap Moss to appear on his back and attack his old friend quite aggressively, causing him to retreat.

In the ring, we signed a deal for a Tag Team title match, and Usos didn’t waste time offending RK-Bro when Riddle wondered why the competitors didn’t have their names on their jerseys because he couldn’t separate them.
Randy Orton also returned the violations and we had a brawlwhere the Raw Tag Team Champions got better at it, which brought the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion to the ring to help their cousins and break the contract.
Bloodline got better from this 3-2 attack, but Drew McIntyre came into the ring and after getting The Usos out of the way he faced the face of a “tribal chief”, and the Scot threw himself into the champion and made him out of the ring after a. suplex.
