Bloodline reunion

After a WrestleMania recap, Jacob Fatu came out and talked about how he challenged Roman Reigns on Raw. He agreed with Roman that he’s not ready because everyone has told him that his whole life. He told Roman to come into the ring and prove that he’s not ready. The Usos then entered, and Jimmy said he supported Jacob’s desire to level up but added that the fans won’t be the ones to help him. He seemed to try to point him to Cody Rhodes’ direction and said, “You eat, you learn, you level up…. Run the play with us, join the family.” Jey said it’s too late because Jacob already opened his mouth, so he’d better be ready for war with Roman. Solo Sioka and the MFT’s entered, minus Talla Tonga. Solo pointed out that he was the one who brought him to WWE, not The Usos. He said he can help Jacob beat Roman because he will need an army, and he’s got one. Tama Tonga snatched the mic from Solo and asked what they were doing. He called Jacob a “lost cause” and asked how he could beat Roman if he couldn’t beat Solo. Jacob then superkicked Tama and said that the only person he should be talking to is Roman. He then challenged Solo for a match later tonight.

Giulia-Kiana tensions

Cathy Kelly was backstage with Giulia, asking about her United States Title match against Tiffany Stratton. Giulia was irked that the match was on SmackDown after WrestleMania instead of at WrestleMania. Kiana James said she tried to do what she could, and Giulia said she doesn’t feel any pressure tonight, just anger. Kiana then blamed Cathy for the questions that drove her and Giulia apart.

Women’s United States Championship: Giulia (c) vs. Tiffany Stratton

Following the picture-in-picture ad break, Tiffany hit a handspring elbow into the corner, followed up by a handspring stunner. She tried to go up top, but Giulia met her and hit a butterfly suplex from the top rope for a two-count. Tiffany caught Giulia with a thrust kick, but Kiana tried to trip her when she ran the ropes. Tiffany grabbed Kiana up on the apron and avoided Giulia, causing her to hit Kiana. Tiffany went for the rolling senton into the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Giulia caught her and locked her into a Rings of Saturn. Tiffany went for a pin to escape. After back-and-forth strikes, Giulia hit Arrivederci and tried to go for a Northern Lights Bomb, but Tiffany countered it into an Alabama Slam. She then hit the PME to win and became the new champion.

Danhausen Double Curse

Danhausen had a map for where all the superstars live, and he arrived at The Miz’s house because The Miz apparently said he wanted Danhausen to curse his house. Danhausen teleported into The Miz’s pool, which angered him to the point where he jumped into the pool after Danhausen threatened to curse him again.

Women’s Tag Title challenge

Tiffany Stratton did a short interview, where she said her story was the runner-up story, pointing out that she was the runner-up at the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, but now, she is the U.S. champion. Brie Bella’s music played, and Tiffany fangirled in front of her. Brie and Paige talked about their win at WrestleMania, and Paige, who has sort of lost her voice from Mania, said that SmackDown was her house. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss came out and said that they weren’t going to let one WrestleMania moment deter them from the tag titles and challenged them for tonight. Paige and Brie agreed, and there was an awkward silence, which highlighted how we hadn’t seen Nick Aldis yet. Charlotte was quick to fill the silence with a “Woo,” as a referee came in.

Women’s Tag Team Championship: Brie Bella & Paige (c) vs. Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss

Another non-match for the women’s tag division on SmackDown, as the match had already been going on during the commercial break. Charlotte and Alexa were in control of Brie, and as Brie was going for a tag, Jacy Jayne came running in and pulled Paige off the apron. The rest of Fatal Influence came out and attacked everyone else in the match. Fatal Influence got a ton of heat, with the crowd chanting, “You Suck.” Jayne looked into the camera and said this was their house, and they were going to take over SmackDown.

Royce Keys vignette

Another Royce Keys vignette played, focusing on Keys as an inspiration to the people of Palo Alto and on how Keys is fighting for them.

Cody Rhodes isn’t going anywhere

The crowd was mostly positive toward Cody throughout his promo. He said that he wanted to send a message when he walked up the ramp at WrestleMania. He wanted to show Randy Orton that even after taking his best, the punt kick, he was still standing. He wanted to send a message to Sami Zayn, who called him the “Golden Boy.” He also wanted to send a message to “outside forces” that have interrupted his WrestleMania plans for three years in a row. He said they’re 0-3, so they should send their best or just count their money and mind their damn business. He then told everyone from NXT, Raw, or SmackDown that he’s easy to find but hard to beat.

Tag Team Championship: Damian Priest & R-Truth vs. MFT (Tama Tonga & JC Mateo)

Solo gave Tama and JC a pep talk before this match. MFT’s had control of Priest, until a hot tag to Truth, who did John Cena’s Five Moves of Doom on JC. Tonga Loa distracted the ref during the AA spot. Tama hit Priest with Cut Throat, and JC hit a bridging German Suplex, which Priest broke up. Priest got a blind tag in, and he and Truth hit Rise Up to retain.

Mizhausen Part 2

We get the aftermath of The Miz jumping into his pool, with Danhausen in the golf simulator room. Miz took a low blow from a driver, as Danhausen took Miz’s Slammy. Danhausen ran into Maryse while walking out of the house, and Miz threw a bowl of chocolate powder at Maryse’s face. Danhausen rode off on their daughter’s bike.

Trick, Yachty, Gingerbread

Trick Williams, Lil Yachty, and the Gingerbread Man are out to celebrate Trick’s U.S. Title win. Yachty said he’s here to stay. “If you’re the anointed one, I’m the prophecy.” If Trick is Michael Jackson, Yachty is Quincy Jones. If Trick is Mike Tyson, Yachty is Don King. If Trick is Michael Jordan, Yacthy is Phil Jackson. Yachty added that the U.S. Title open challenge is done, and Trick said that if anyone wanted to face him, they would know how to find him. Pyro went off and cash rained down, but the Gingerbread Man attacked Trick and Yachty with a candy cane cane. He took off the mask to reveal himself as Sami Zayn, who knocked Trick out with a Helluva Kick.

Royce Keys to join the family?

Keys was backstage with the Andre trophy. Solo sarcastically clapped for him and said that the “big man,” likely Talla Tonga, wasn’t happy about the loss, so he gave him the day off, which explained his absence. Solo told Keys that there was room in his family.

The Miz vs. Danhausen

The crowd was really into Danhausen, who won this match after telling the Miz, “You are cursed.” That’s when pyrotechnics went off from the corner posts while Miz was on the middle rope. Danhausen rolled him up for the win. We then got a Benny Hill sketch that Wade Barrett called out, which ended with The Miz running into Kit Wilson while he was chasing Danhausen under the ring.

Blake Monroe to debut

A Blake Monroe vignette played, with a voiceover that said, “She is beauty, grace, and will punch you in the face.” The vignette only said that Monroe will be “coming soon.”

Fatal Influence steps up to Rhea

Rhea Ripley came out and gave credit to Jade Cargill, saying she’s here to prove she’s a fighting champion and inviting anyone to challenge her. Fatal Influence came out, and the crowd heavily booed them. Jacy did well to play along with the boos, which relentlessly came down whenever Jacy, Fallon Henley or Lainey Reid tried to speak. Rhea said she’s used to the numbers game, and Jacy said Fatal Influence is always ready to throw down. Nick Aldis made his first appearance of the night and said he’d been thinking of a way to punish Fatal Influence for their actions earlier in the night. He said she’s standing in the ring, pointing at Rhea, and set up a match.

Jacy Jayne vs. Rhea Ripley

This was a fine showcase for Jayne, who had a nearfall after hitting a pump knee and stacking Rhea for a pin. Jacy cut off Rhea on the ropes, but Rhea caught Jacy with a Cheeky Nandos kick. She hit the Eradicator with a running kick for a two-count. Rhea landed a headbutt and was going for Riptide, but the rest of Fatal Influence came in and attacked Rhea to force the DQ. Fatal Influence gang up on Rhea, and Jacy lands the discus elbow she had teased earlier in the match.

The Usos meet Jacob

Jacob Fatu is preparing for his match against Solo. The Usos came up to him, and Jimmy pointed out that the MFT’s will be in the match, so they have his back. Jacob didn’t want it and stormed off, and Jey admonished Jimmy.

Old enemies become friends?

Charlotte is still reeling from Fatal Influence and asks who they think they are. Rhea entered the medical room, and Charlotte asked if they had a problem. Rhea noted they have a Fatal Influence problem, but Charlotte wasn’t interested in working with Rhea and walked out. Alexa tried to cool the tensions by saying it wasn’t Rhea, “she’s just like that.”

Brock tribute

A tribute video for Brock Lesnar was played with “I Stand Alone” by Godsmack playing in the background. Archived interviews were playing alongside highlights from Brock’s career. Among those featured were Paul Heyman, Paul Levesque, John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Undertaker, and Dave Bautista.

Ricky Saints to SmackDown

Ricky Saints will officially debut on SmackDown next week after his highlight package, which welcomed fans to the revolution.

Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa

The MFT took every chance to help Solo, but Jacob didn’t want The Usos’ help, so they were standing on the ramp throughout the match. Jacob eventually took out MFT with a suicide dive. He ducked a Samoan Spike from Solo, then hit a superkick, a pop-up Samoan Drop and a Best Moonsault Ever for the win. The MFT attacked Jacob, and The Usos were about to jump in when chairs were introduced. However, Jacob fought off all three members, set chairs around the necks of JC and Tama, and hit hip attacks in each corner. He then hit a splash on Tonga through the announce desk. Jacob stared down The Usos in the ring and said to tell Roman that he’d see them on Raw.
