Review: Really good match. I’m glad they kept the title on Sasha and not continue her curse of not retaining the title the first time.
Kevin Owens confronted Jey Uso and joked about Jey getting Roman his coffee. Jey asked if Kevin thinks his family is a joke. Kevin said he just wanted to check up on him.
Kayla Braxton interviewed Jey Uso about what he did last week to Daniel Bryan and him joining Roman Reigns. Jey said it was nothing personal but family is forever. She rips Jey for listening to Roman or else he is out of the family. Paul Heyman interrupted saying Roman didn’t authorize this interview and tells Jey that Roman wants to see him.
Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio was backstage. Rey can’t find Aliyah and Dominik tells him that his match is next. Dominik leaves but then Rey gets attacked by Corbin until Dominik saves him.
Paul Heyman tells Jey that he has to do an interview that is authorized by Roman. Jey said he wants to talk to him but Paul said he will talk to him to see what is going on. Roman comes out and asks him why he was doing the interview. He tells Roman that he needs to talk to him first. Roman tells Jey that Kevin was disrespecting the bloodline. Jey says he’ll handle Kevin. Roman rips Paul Heyman for not dealing with this sooner and tells him to get Adam Pearce.

Review: The match was decent but it just dragged and went on longer than it should’ve. Murphy and Aliyah coming out when Rey already took care of Seth and the whole storyline with Aliyah and Murphy is just so cheesy, it is so hard to take it seriously.

Review: The match was okay, nothing special. I was surprised that Ruby Riot got the win and I can’t be mad at that. Really cool move on WWE’s part.
The Street Profits confront Big E backstage as they try to get a scoop of the New Day for Survivor Series. Big E tells them if they lay down and win, Kofi and Woods won’t beat them up too bad. They all laugh suddenly. Billie Kay interrupt them to give the Profits a resume for someone to give them scoop of the Raw brand. The Profits said they were on the Raw brand with her and they left.
The #StreetProfits thought they were slick. 😂#SmackDown @WWEBigE @MontezFordWWE @AngeloDawkins pic.twitter.com/7F06nMy1dP

Review: The match was pretty good. I think it could’ve gone either way but it was what it was.
Rollins caught up with Murphy backstage and tells him to tell him he saw what he think he saw. Murphy admits he saw it. Seth thinks Murphy has seen the light and welcomes him back. Aliyah shoves him angrily about it and Murphy stops her to tell her to trust him.

Review: The match was really good. I don’t think it was main event worthy but it did what it needed to do.
Overall Review: This wasn’t one of their best shows on the level of what they have done in recent weeks but it was mostly an average solid show. The opening with Sasha and Bayley was by far the best thing on the entire show.
Grade: 6/10
