They talk about Bryan’s vision of the future- Bryan wants the IC title to be the weekly title that’s fought over.

Owens mentions the tag titles, Owens never has won it, Owens pitches Bryan on being a tag team- he pitches TEAM KO- Bryan says that would be you and KANE. Dolph with his Smackdown hat on and Roode come out, then Profits, then Cesaro/Nakamura- all of a sudden Smackdown’s tag team division is STACKED? Brawl happens, then SCRAP IRON comes out to break things up.

LAW AND OTIS!!

THEY DOLLED UP A COURTROOM- FAROOQ IS THE BAILIFF JBL IS THE JUDGE!!

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REAL LAWSUIT HAHAHAAH

Miz shushes his lawyer and states his case. He has to right the wrong of Otis having the contract

Otis: I think I deserve the contract because I won the mitb contract. Miz’s lawyer says “That’s a good argument” and Miz fires her.

Bianca Belair video

Wow her Smackdown gear is immaculate

Backstage: Bryan/KO and SP celebrating- Bryan asks them to FIST HIM- KO and SP leave- Sami comes up to Bryan, says he heard the bad mouthing, he says HE decides how it’s defended, he’s already defended it enough- including beating Bryan at Mania.

Zelina Vega vs. Bianca Belair

Bianca easily handles Vega, Vega gets the upper hand, tries for like a codebreaker, BIanca catches her, pop up punch, deadlifts her, presses her, KOD gets three

Shorty G interview

Why did you ask for a match against the freak lars sullivan?

I can’t get no respect- didn’t get drafted, so I’m gonna prove that I belong, so I called out Lars Sullivan

Shorty G vs. Lars Sullivan

He gets killed.

Alyse interviews Seth Rollins

Oh nice he has his jacket back

She asks about Murphy joining in on the fun with the mysterio family

Tonight, he’ll define Murphy’s role FOR him

Roman Reigns in his office, he pushes away some mediocre looking food spreads

Shorty G in the training room with Scrap Iron- QUITS being SHORTY G, I’m done being the punching bag- there’s only one man who can achieve anything he wants- CHAD GABLE.

Sasha/Bayley face off thing

Bayley cuts a promo, saying Sasha is NOT the boss of her DING DONG HELLO

Sasha comes out with the contract, wants Bayley to sign the contract

They tug of war the title, Sasha KNEES the crap out of Bayley, puts her head in a chair, tells her to sign the contract or else- Bayley fights her off, Sasha cranks her neck in the chair, makes her sign the contract

Bayley should go to wrestlers court cuz she signed under durress

Law and Otis:

Morrison is on the witness stand

He’s traumatized by Otis beating him

Rey Mysterio is a witnes for Otis, says he should be allowed to keep it, he won it fair

Asuka is on the stand, she’s ranting in Japanese, JBL asks Teddy Long if he got any of that. Asuka says HOLLA HOLLA

Tucker gives an emotional speech about Miz taking everything away from Otis, Miz asks JBL to treat him hostile- Tucker gets hostile with Miz- JBL says we’re gonna take a break and when they reconvene, he’ll have an answer

JBL makes his decision- something is missing- the truth- all the charges were the job description for wwe superstar- me and ron would be in jail for life- Otis also has a year to cash in. Right as he was about to rule, Miz says WAIT, I have evidence. It’s a briefcase. Ron gives it to JBL. It’s loaded with cash (Hence the cha ching sound). JBL says in light of the new evidence, he decides in favor for Miz- the winner of a match at Hell in a Cell will get the briefcase.

Seth Rollins vs. Murphy

MURPHY HAS HIS OLD PANTS BACK!

This is a really fun match, Murphy more than holds his own

Alayah watches backstage, her papi and hermano bug her while she watches

Seth targets Murphy’s shoulder after he kayfabe hurts it during the match

Murphy goes for a power bomb, his arm gives out, Seth hits knee, they trade blows

Murphy gets 2 with a rollup, Seth hits Falcon Arrow for 2

Seth goes for stomp, Murphy evades, another, counters, goes up top, Murphy meets him, Seth comes down, slams Murphy’s arm, hits stomp for 3

****

Alayah begs Papi and Dom to help, they do nothing, she runs out, comes down, she covers Murphy after a few shots from Seth, Dom runs down, Seth leaves- OR DOES HE he comes back, attacks Dom, Rey comes down with a chair, Seth flees. Dom and Rey yap about the situation as she sort of cuddles Murphy, who maybe half-smiles at them?

Roman Reigns

He has a mic, Jey Uso is on the tron sitting at his table- he’s looking at his food spread- I bet it’s great to be the tribal chief- or even cousins with the TC- but you’ve changed- you have your head so far up your ass, you lost connections with yourself and your family. ASK MY BROTHER JEY- HE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU! HE DID TWIN MAGIC!

Roman quickly gets the upper hand with the chair, Uso hits superkick, goes up top, HITS THE SPLASH, STANDS SUPER TALL. HE IS LOSING BIG!

Jimmy comes skipping down to join Jey.

Roman gets on the mic- it’s all games, it’s funny- cuz you don’t understand- I understand- if you make me quit, I’m not the universal champion, I’m not the face of the WWE, I’m not the tribal chief- if you can make me quit, I can live with that- but the question is, can you? When I make you quit, you will fall in line you will take orders, you will acknowledge me, you will respect me, and all that I do for our family- if you can’t, then you’re OUT. Your brother, your wives, your kids, your kids’ kids, they’re all outta the family. We will ALL turn our backs on you. THOSE are your consequences. THe cage comes down. Jey comes down, climbs the cage. Jey literally STANDS TALL.
