WWE Smackdown Results returned as the OC were backstage talking about doing something for AJ Styles’ birthday, and Styles apologized for ruining Night of Champions for them, and the OC will take out Hit Row later on.
The OC (Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) w/AJ Styles and Michin vs. Hit Row (Top Dolla, Ashante Adonis) w/B-Fab
Adonis went after Anderson as soon as the bell rang and kept the heat on with a clothesline, but then jawed with Gallows before tagging in Top Dolla to double team Anderson.

B-Fab tripped up Anderson and drew the attention of Styles and Michin, and Anderson fought back with a spine buster and tagged in Gallows.
Gallows ran through Adonis and Top Dolla, and they closed it out with a Magic Killer on Adonis.
Dolla hit Anderson and Gallows with a big boot, and Styles nailed him with a Phenomenal Forearm.
The Grayson Waller Effect
Without wasting any time, Waller introduced Asuka as his guest, and after a recap of her win, Waller told her she’s got to keep her head on a swivel with the Money in the Bank coming up and how Belair will be coming for her again.

IYO SKY came out and after a brief exchange, Bayley came out to clear the air by saying after they both qualify they will win the MITB match.
Shotzi had to have her say as she came out, but was quickly cut off by Evans coming out, and she was cut off by Zelina Vega.
Asuka ended it all by saying no one is ready for her and Belair attacked her from behind but Asuka held her own as officials ran out.
Money in the Bank Qualification Match – Lacey Evans vs. Zelina Vega
Evans quickly took command with an aggressive offence, but Vega managed to slip in a pin attempt. Evans made her pay with a clothesline and pin attempt, then slammed Vega’s head into the mat.
Vega kept fighting back with some shots and kicks here and there, and stayed alive long enough to put Evans into position to hit a Code Red to qualify for the Money in the Bank match as the first woman.
We love Vega, but can’t figure out why Evans keeps getting rebranded and seems stuck in neutral when it comes to climbing the ladder. She’s so much more talented and deserves a title at some point.
