Backstage, Becky Lynch said Indi Hartwell never lost the NXT Women’s Championship, so she will get her shot tonight. She knows Lyra Valkyria is here tonight to poke holes in her game as she will get a title match tomorrow night on NXT.
In a pre-taped segment, Ivar was shown as training to be the Vikings as their Warrior.
Backstage, Rhea Ripley said I know you and The Judgment Day has history between them, but it was all built on respect. We did everything we could to take your championship off of you and you held on to it. Now you’re dealing with Drew and were concerned because at the pace you’ve been running, you need insurance from The Judgment Day. Rollins said you lost faith in your boy. You don’t think Damian Priest is going to cash in his contract on my title and that’s why you’re out there wheeling and dealing. You’re making deals with The Bloodline, flirting with Drew McIntyre, and now you’re coming after me. What would I want with you? Ripley said you need me because right now you’re just a World Champion but you can be The World Champion. If you decided to join us, Priest could always cash in his contract on somebody else and then we would all hold gold, but without us, I’m not sure how you’re going to accomplish having a title reign like Roman Reigns. We can have people acknowledge you. Rollins said I don’t want to be anything like Reigns. Ripley said that’s not a no and told Rollins to think about it.
Backstage, Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae were talking. Natalya came in and wished Hartwell luck. Natalya mentioned that Tegan Nox was injured in her match against Lyra Valkyria last week on NXT.

Backstage, Nick Aldis told Adam Pearce we got off on the wrong foot and that was totally on me. There was no need to have you escorted out of the building on SmackDown. I’m trying to establish my authority as General Manager on SmackDown. I want to have healthy competition between our two brands and do everything I can to prove SmackDown is the number one brand, but I don’t want it to tarnish our professional relationship. I’m offering my hand and I hope you accept my apologies. Pearce said okay. It’s water under the bridge. As a matter of fact, as a gesture of goodwill, stay and see how the flagship operates on Monday. Aldis said I appreciate that and thank you.
