United States Championship Open Challenge
The first match of the night was Ilja Dragunov’s United States Open Challenge, answered this week by Carmelo Hayes. Despite Dragunov’s recent popularity, the crowd was solidly behind Hayes as he scored several near falls. Tommaso Ciampa then appeared from the crowd, pushing Hayes off the top rope behind the referee’s (and Dragunov’s) back. Dragunov then hit Torpedo Moscow and the H-Bomb for the win. Dragunov then saw the replay on the big screen and was very upset.
Come on, Ciampa! 😡 pic.twitter.com/frHVoXU1CY

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss were interviewed backstage and said they were focused on getting their tag titles back, and Bliss would take out Kairi Sane later tonight.
LA Knight was interviewed, saying he would beat Gunther and then defeat John Cena.
Alexa Bliss vs. Kairi Sane
Next up, one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, Kairi Sane, took on Alexa Bliss. Asuka got involved early, taking out Bliss behind the referee’s back. Bliss ultimately survived and defeated Sane with Sister Abigail. After the match, Nia Jax and Lash Legend attacked both teams, decimating them all. Later, they were interviewed backstage and blamed Asuka’s misting of Lash Legend for their loss at War Games.
Backstage, Nick Aldis asked Cody Rhodes if he was good and brought him in to see NXT Champion Ricky Saints and Oba Femi. Rhodes revealed that whoever wins tomorrow at NXT Deadline would face him next week at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Jade Cargill vs. Alba Fyre
Next, WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill took on Alba Fyre, who was accompanied by United States Champion Chelsea Green. Giuila and Kiana James then appeared at ringside and fought Chelsea to the back. This distracted Fyre, and Cargill capitalized, hitting Jaded for the win in under two minutes. Later backstage, Jade ran into B-Fab and Michin, and it appeared Michin would be facing Jade next.
Backstage, Fraxiom demanded a match with DIY when Dragunov interrupted, demanding a match with Ciampa for ruining his Open Challenge. Aldis made it official for next week, and Dragunov said that Fraxiom could have whatever was left over. Dragunov then ran into the MFTs, but they walked off.
Bo-Lieve in Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa cut and gave an in-ring promo, saying they handled Sami Zayn, and they could finally move on. He addressed The Wyatt Sicks, saying he would take everything away from Uncle Howdy. He continued, saying everything that belonged to Bray would belong to him, and all he had to do was Bo-Lieve. The MFTs were about to leave when the lights went out, and Wyatt Sicks appeared on the apron. A brawl ensued, and Talla Tonga and Erick Rowan were left in the ring. Rowan got the better of Talla, and the Wyatt Sicks stood tall to end the segment.
