RESULTS & UPDATES
We saw Roman Reigns getting past a checkpoint while entering the arena. Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso were there to receive him. Roman told them to relax as he was back to fix things. After Roman walked away, Solo said he would fix things.
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis was in the ring for the contract signing segment. One by one, Aldis announced AJ Styles, LA Knight and Randy Orton, who all came out and signed the contract for fatal 4-way match at Royal Rumble. When he announced Roman, Paul Heyman came out and said Roman would not sign that contract. As Heyman was walking away, Aldis said that if Roman did not sign the contract, he would make the match at Royal Rumble would be a triple threat match for the vacant Universal Championship. Heyman then tried to argue with Aldis and said Roman should have been in a singles match at Royal Rumble, and not data 4-way. LA Knight interjected and took a shot at AJ, leading to a brawl between them. Aldis and other crew members got busy in separating AJ & Knight, Orton pulled Heyman by his tie and told him that he would beat Solo tonight and then introduce Roman to the 3 most dangerous letters in WWE.
Santos Escobar, Angel & Humberto defeated LWO(Carlito, Jaoquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro) in a tag team match. Escobar took a blind tag in the final minute of the match and sneaked behind Carlito to roll him up for the pinfall.
Pretty Deadly were backstage and they say they were more prepared for their opponents tonight.
Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne defeated Pretty Deadly(Kit Wilson & Elton Prince) in a tag team match. Before the match started, Bate introduced his tag team partner Butch going back to his former name – Pete Dunne. Dunne got the hot tag after the commercial break to hit quick moves. He snapped Prince’s fingers before hitting Bitter End on him to get the pinfall.
Logan Paul joined The KO Show when he engaged with Kevin Owens back and forth for a long time. Owens gave Paul credit about hanging in WWE for far more time than any part-timer before. Paul convinced Owens to not go into their Royal Rumble match with his cast. Owens removed the cast. But as he turned around, Paul caught him with a sucker punch. Owens recovered after a few seconds and got up to start brawling. Paul slammed Owens’ hand into the steel steps.
Roman Reigns was in bad mood due to Randy Orton putting his hands on wiseman Paul Heyman. Solo Sikoa took blame for the loss last week and assured Roman that he would take them all out tonight.
Kayden Carter & Katana Chance(c) defeated The Unholy Union(Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) to retain WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Fyre and Dawn rushed the champions as the match started. The champs got into the match for some back-and-forth action. Carter countered a springboard move from Fyre into a Canadian Destroyer before she helped Chance to hit keg stand to get the pinfall.
The Final Testament group responded from the challenge from Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. They would face off next week.
We saw the footage of how Carmelo Hayes vs Austin Theory match was stopped due to concussion. Hayes was getting interviewed backstage when Theory and Grayson Waller interrupted him. Hayes asked to run the match again next week. Waller accepted the challenge on Theory’s behalf. Theory was angry at Waller for this and told him to stop doing this.
LA Knight defeated AJ Styles via disqualification after Solo Sikoa hit Knight with the Samoan Spike. Solo also hit Styles with the Samoan Spike before calling out Randy Orton for their match.

After the match, Knight and Styles got into the ring where Orton hit them with RKOs. Roman Reings came from behind to catch Orton with a Superman Punch.
