The show opens with a recap of the Usos’ recent clash with RK-Bro before Michale Cole welcomes us to SmackDown. At his side, as always, Pat McAfee.
It’s Randy Orton and Riddle who head straight for the ring. Riddle says he’s excited to be back on SmackDown, also with his best friend Randy Orton. But they wouldn’t be here to talk, it’s because the Usos went to RAW and challenged them to a title unification match. Orton tells the Usos to come out if they want an answer. The music of the Usos is already playing, and they’re about to make their way towards the ring. The Usos hyped themselves up and asked RK-Bro to leave the titles in the ring for the sake of simplicity. Orton insults the Usos once more and then accepts the Usos’ challenge. Both teams lift their title belts in the air. The Usos leave the ring and Randy Orton poses in a corner to his music, giving the Usos a chance to knock out Riddle briefly. When Orton tries to come to his aid, the Usos quickly disappear up the ramp.
After the commercial, RK-Bro stand backstage at Adam Pearce. He states that the officials above him are still checking whether they even want to unite the titles. He hopes to get an answer later today. Riddle just wants to get his hands on Jimmy Uso, so Pearce books that match for tonight.

Kayla Braxton stops the Usos backstage to catch some voices, but they ignore her and enter the Roman Reigns dressing room.
A flashback to the latest events surrounding Madcap Moss and “Happy” Baron Corbin is shown. The latter is being interviewed backstage by Megan Morant. There he refers to Moss as his former lackey. Moss was funny at first, but he got in the way of his career and was also responsible for ending his streak of undefeated matches. He looks forward to seeing Moss fall flat and become the laughing stock of SmackDown.
Drew Gulak is backstage with a microphone asking Moss for his opinion on what he just heard. He says he’s relieved to have left Corbin behind. Cole stated that Gulak is making a “tryout” on the broadcast team.

Backstage with Adam Pearce, Charlotte Flair can’t believe Ronda Rousey got her wish for an I Quit match granted. Drew Gulak interrupts them and asks Pearce how he did on his first backstage segment. Flair continues to get very upset and says Gulak can get his review if he interviewed her in the ring.
The Winner Takes All match between RK-Bro and the Usos will take place at WrestleMania Backlash.
No sooner said than done, the Queen’s order will be implemented immediately. Drew Gulak announces Charlotte Flair, who also goes straight to the ring. Once there, she’s asked if she’s worried about the “I Quit” match and all the attacks Rousey might use to force her opponents to submit. Flair counters that she didn’t turn down the match, but rather wanted to protect Rousey by sending her back to the end of the line. Rousey has a fragile ego, which is why she had to run to the officials. Gulak points out that Flair resigned at WrestleMania (unseen by the referee), but Charlotte doesn’t want to know, she just fixed her bra. She didn’t give up and that’s why she’s still the champion. Giving up isn’t part of their DNA, winning is. Gulak didn’t deserve to interview her, so she orders him out of the ring. Gulak complies, but before he’s out, Flair attacks him and then takes him in the figure four. He taps off as she makes the figure eight move, but Flair holds the move for some time while punching Gulak in the face. She tells him to say “I Quit”. He yells the words out, but Flair only exacerbates the move until the referee saves Gulak.
We see how Sami Zayn got counted out against Drew McIntyre last week.
Backstage we see Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. The latter says that the mat is sacred and that Gunther defends the honor of the sport and punishes the weak and stands for dominance (partly in English, partly in German). Gunther adds that everyone obeys the Ring General.
Before the next match, Zayn states that he wasn’t running from McIntyre because he wasn’t afraid. He’s just a good strategist, all of this is part of the plan. Today he will defeat McIntyre in the ring.

Ricochet is interviewed by Kayla Braxton. He praises Jinder Mahal, who can’t hold a candle to him in the ring. His title will now be defended.

Morant interviews Sheamus, Ridge Holland and Butch and asks them about the tensions of the past week. We see Butch stubbornly sit in the corner of the ring after his loss to Xavier Woods. Sheamus just laughs at that. tensions? That’s what they call civilized entertainment where he’s from. Butch needs to get his aggression under control, but he’s not her enemy. They ask Butch who the real enemy is, he knows: “New Day!” Sheamus wants to continue talking to Morant, but Holland points out that Butch has run away.
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are signing merchandise backstage when Butch attacks them. Sheamus and Holland support him a short time later before officials can separate the two teams.
Chapter 2 of the Lacey Evans story. She continues to speak about her family relationships in her childhood and about abuse by her father. He was wanted by the police, which caused them to travel from campground to campground, from state to state. But although the “Child Protective Service” was involved from the beginning, no one saved her from her family. That’s how she learned to take care of herself because nobody else would. She always keeps her head up no matter what life throws in front of her. That doesn’t make her a better WWE Superstar, but no one is better than her.
Natalya and Shayna Baszler took a good look at the promo and roll their eyes. They complain that nobody respects legends like themselves. Raquel Rodriguez introduces himself and shakes hands, which seems to annoy Natalya even more.
