WWE Smackdown Results returned as the introductions were made.
Angel and Adonis started it off, and Los Lotharios took control early on with a double team and quick tags as they already put up more of a fight against Hit Row than anyone else so far.
Top Dolla tagged in and took it over as he dominated both of them with a double slam for Adonis to hit a Heavy Hitter for the win.

Ronda Rousey vs. Natalya
Natalya went for a sharpshooter off the bat, and Ronda turned the tables and choked her out on the ropes and hit a knee before attempting a arm bar.
After exchanging strikes, Natalya hit a discus clothesline for a near pinfall, but Ronda slapped on an ankle lock for the submission. At least this wasn’t as big a squash as we expected.

After the match, Liv Morgan came out with a baseball bat. After an exchange, Ronda ducked a swing and Liv hit the ring post.
Ronda then hit a Piper’s Pit on the floor followed by a tug of war for the bat Liv won. Ronda blocked her swing and threw Liv into the time keeper’s area as security came to the ring to break it up.
Liv tried to choke her out with the bat, and security struggled to keep them apart.
Sheamus faces the Imperium
Imperium came to the ring and they quickly derided the Brawling Brutes and praised GUNTHER for looking like a champion.
After GUNTHER promised they’ll obliterate the Brawling Brutes, Sheamus came out and said Butch and Holland are stuck in Florida.

He dropped GUNTHER’s underlings, then tossed his weapon aside to face GUNTHER and he dropped him with a right.
The rest of Imperium grabbed him when he was readying a Brogue Kick and GUNTHER chopped and big booted away on him before taunting him with the title and then powerbombing him.
While Imperium left the ring, Sheamus asked if that’s all they got and told them they have to do better than that.
GUNTHER sent them after Sheamus, then used Sheamus’ sheleighleigh to knock him out.
Shotzi vs. Bayley
Shotzi came out with her tank! It’s great to see it back and in action.
Shotzi had the early advantage as her unorthodox style caught Bayley off balance, but Bayley wouldn’t be denied as she hit an arm drag off the ropes.

Her edge didn’t last long as Shotzi tripped her into the ropes to regain the momentum, and nailed a kick through the ropes and hung Bayley up in the ropes as we headed to commercial.
Bayley slammed Shotzi off the ropes face first and hit the Rose Plant for the win.
After the match, she nailed another Rose Plant and pulled a ladder out from under the ring. She put Shotzi inside the ladder, but Bianca Belair came out to save Shotzi and Bayley hit Belair from behind.
Belair powered her up for a KOD, but Bayley grabbed the ropes and pulled herself to the floor.
Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, and Johnny Gargano vs. Alpha Academy (Chad Gable, Otis) and Austin Theory
Gargano and Theory took it to each other, and Gargano hit a spear through the ropes and sent Gable to the floor as Drew intercepted Otis and sent him to the floor as well.
Owens tagged in and took out Theory and Gable on the floor with a senton.
Back from commercial, Gable was in control of Gargano with an armbar following a pin attempt.
Theory pulled Drew off the apron and threw him into the barricade, and Gable locked in an ankle lock on Gargano, but Gargano rolled through it for a pin attempt to break it.
Owens tagged in and went after everyone and hit a cannonball and senton on Gable for a pin attempt Otis broke up.

Drew and Theory squared off and Drew tossed him around like a rag doll, but Theory rolled to the floor to avoid a Claymore.
Drew followed him out but Otis ran him over and threw him into the steps. Otis was then caught between superkick by Owens and Gargano and put him on the announce desk.
Gable interceded, but Owens hit a stunner on the table and Owens hit a Claymore on Theory for the win. For good measure, Drew grabbed a strap and nailed Theory with it as Drew celebrated.
This was an okay show as it felt like it was on autopilot for most of it, but they had some good moments. What did you think about it? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Smackdown Results.
