The show opened with Nia Jax attacking Shayna Baszler before their match. Raquel Rodriguez came down and attacked Jax. Raquel went for a kick on Jax, but Jax moved and the kick hit Shayna. Rhea Ripley came down and tackled Jax. Shayna went after Jax while Ripley and Raquel went out at it with officials trying to separate them. Ripley said Mami is back. She said I’m back and I have something else to handle as she called out Judgment Day.
Ripley said we know there is no leader in Judgment Day, but we each have our own responsibilities to handle. Someone has to come up with a game plan so things don’t go down on Judgment Day. Mami gets taken out for two weeks by Nia Jax and things start falling apart for Judgment Day. Mami is the one who makes the plans, but at the end of the day, with me being out, I left that responsibility to someone and they disappointed me. I left that responsibility to Priest and you couldn’t handle the job. Finn is injured and you can’t compete tonight because you’re not medically cleared. Dom loses his North American Championship to Trick Williams at No Mercy all because you weren’t there to help him like I told you too. Now we have a Cody and Jey situation. They don’t fear us because there are tensions here. They are going to try to take your tag team championships from you. Priest said, with all due respect, you’re not saying anything I don’t know. Cody and Jey are coming for the titles, but when push comes to shove, I will push harder. I have the tag team titles. I have the Money in the Bank briefcase. I’m not trying to start anything, but where is Dom’s title? Ripley told Dominik tomorrow you have a rematch on NXT against Trick Williams. If you don’t come home to me with that championship, then don’t bother coming home. Jey Uso came out. He told Ripley we miss you. It looks like there is a new Tribal Chief on Monday Night and it appears she has bigger balls than Roman Reigns ever did. Priest told Jey he is tired of hearing him and was ready to go after him. Dominik held him back and said he will take care of Jey. Jey superkicked Dominik. JD McDonagh attacked Jey from behind. Jey made a comeback on JD until Dominik and JD double-teamed Jey. Cody came in the ring and gave Dominik the Cross Rhodes. Adam Pierce came out and announced that it will be Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs Finn Balor and Damian Priest for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at Fast Lane.
Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci) vs The Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis) (w/ Maxxine Dupri)
Otis went for the Caterpillar and dropped an elbow on Kaiser. Otis picked up Kaiser on the middle rope, but Vinci grabbed Otis’ leg causing him to fall to the mat. Kaiser hit an enziguri on Otis and pinned him.
===Winners: Imperium
They showed a picture of Becky Lynch’s laceration on her arm that needed 11 stitches to close from her match with Tiffany Stratton at No Mercy. Michael Cole said Lynch will be at NXT tomorrow searching for her next opponent. Backstage, Adam Pearce told Tegan Nox that her match with Becky Lynch is postponed due to Lynch’s injury. Chelsea Green interrupted them and told Nox she should be glad her match is postponed because some people are not championship material. Nox challenged Green to a match and Pearce made it official.
Bronson Reed vs Cedric Alexander
Alexander gave Reed and enziguri for a two-count. Reed hit Alexander with a Cross-body and a running senton. Reed hit Alexander with the Tsunami and pinned him.
===Winner: Bronson Reed
Backstage, Drew McIntyre said he’s not doing MIZ TV. He’s still going to go out there and say what he has to say, but not on MIZ TV. If Miz gets involved in his business, he’s going to regret it.
Intercontinental Championship Contract Signing
Tomasso Ciampa said next week he will have his family at ringside to see him win the Intercontinental Championship from Gunther and he signed the contract. Gunther said he will defeat Ciampa. Ciampa said since you didn’t sign the contract yet, we can change the date to tonight. Gunther agreed, signed the contract and pie-faced Ciampa. Ciampa got Gunther in the Sicilian Stretch before Gunther escaped and left the ring.
Backstage, JD McDonagh interrupted Priest. Ripley said JD is on to something as we don’t want Cody, Sami, Kevin, or Jey on the same page. Ripley said Kevin already doesn’t like Jey so this could be the wedge we need to divide them.
Xavier Woods vs Ivar
Kofi Kingston joined the commentary team for this match. Woods tried to powerbomb Ivar, but Ivar fell on top of him. Ivar missed a splash off the top rope. Xavier caught Ivar in a rollup and pinned him. Ivar attacked Woods after the match. Kofi came in for the save, but Ivar hit him with a spin kick. Ivar powerbombed Kofi on top of Woods and gave them a moonsault.
===Winner: Xavier Woods
In the ring, Seth Rollins said he is fighting Shinsuke Nakamura with a bad back because he has to set an example for his daughter that he will always give 100%. Nakamura appeared on the video wall and said Rollins is looking for sympathy. Nakamura attacked Rollins from behind and gave him a Kinshasa and hit him with a chair. He slammed Rollins on a steel chair and gave him another Kinshasa, counted to 10, and held the title over his head.
Backstage, Becky Lynch told Tegan Nox that she wanted to put the title on the line, but she is not cleared to compete, but when I am cleared, get ready because we are going to go. Natalya told Tegan we got off on the wrong foot. I’m proud of you. You’re going to get your shot at Becky and when you do, you’re going to nail it.
Chelsea Green (w/ Piper Niven) vs Tegan Nox
Natalya came to ringside. Nox dove on Green from the top rope, gave her the Shiniest Wizard, and pinned her.
===Winner: Tegan Nox
Backstage, Jey Uso said he and Cody Rhodes will win the tag team titles at Fast Lane.
In the ring, Drew McIntyre said I don’t have to answer to anybody in the locker room. The only people I answer to are my fans. I’m going to stop being the savior and interfering in fights I didn’t start in the first place. While I haven’t been saving the day the last few weeks, nobody has stepped up so you’re all a bunch of hypocrites except Cody who’s cleaning up his own mess. Forgiveness when it comes to Jey Uso is weakness, not strength. The Miz came out and said I stuck up for you last week and you told me to shut up. Miz said he will be the bigger man and walk away. The Miz left the ring, Drew turned his back, and Miz came back in and hit him with a mic in hand. Drew picked up Miz and drove him into the corner and was pounding on him when the officials broke them up.
Drew McIntyre vs The Miz
McIntyre pulled the top turnbuckle pad off and drove him face first into the exposed turnbuckle. McIntyre gave The Miz a Future Shock DDT and pinned him. After the match, Drew McIntyre said he’s not the same guy I was 30 seconds ago. I’m sorry for my actions and now that I’ve said I’m sorry, I’m magically forgiven.
===Winner: Drew McIntyre
Backstage, Trick Williams said he will defend the North American Title against Dominik. Dominik, JD McDonagh, and Rhea Ripley interrupted them. Ripley said Dominik will not be coming to NXT alone and he will be walking out with his North American Championship.
Cody Rhodes said The Judgment Day backed themselves into a fight against himself and Jey Uso. He heard Judgment Day will be at SmackDown so he will be there too with Jey Uso. Then they will win the tag team titles at Fast Lane.
Intercontinental Championship Match
Gunther (Champion) vs Tomasso Ciampa
Ciampa and Gunther exchanged chops. Gunther gave Ciampa two power bombs and locked him in the sleeper hold. Gunther won the match when Ciampa passed out. After the match, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci laid the boots to Ciampa as Gunther left the ring. Johnny Gargano came in and attacked Imperium.
===Winner: Gunther
