Arena: Value City Arena
City: Columbus, OH

Michael Cole and Pat McAfee started the show in the ring and
said they are going to crown a new WWE Women’s World
Champion in a battle royal.

Main Event Jey Uso is out to the ring first and says he must
beat Damian Priest at Backlash to prove he is Main Event Jey
Uso. Damian Priest quickly interrupts and makes his way to
the ring.

Priest said one night last year Jey beat him so bad he had
to approach him in the locker and gained all his respect and
Jey told him they were next, and he is proud to stand in
this ring with him. Priest said he was half right and only
one of them was next. But Jey will be the first to fall and
be the first in a long line of who the machine is going to
feed him to make him look good as champion.

Jey stops him from leaving and tells him I am not getting
fed to you, you are getting fed to me. JD McDonagh comes in
and tries to attack Jey, but Damian warned Jey and Jey went
to superkick JD but hit Damian.


DIY VS. The Awesome Truth for the World Tag Team
Championship

After the Miz back drops Ciampa into the crowd, he tags in
from Truth and hit the Truth Crushing Finale’ on Gargano to
retain the titles.

Winners and still World Tag Team Champions: The Awesome
Truth

After the match they tried to all shake hands and Ciampa
slid out of the ring.

Damian is in the back yelling at JD and asked where Dominik
was. Dominik is now injured also, and Santos comes in and
says he will handle it tonight. Damian says handle your
business and stay out of mine.

Out to the ring next is Imperium. Gunther said he is not
going to talk about Sami Zayn but will say he held the title
for over 600 days and elevated it to new heights. He said
that also means for over 2 years he was walking with a huge
target on his back and to Sami Zayn he says thank you. He
then declared his participation for the upcoming King of the
Ring Tournament. He then put all the champions on notice.


After Gunther was done talking, The New Day came out. Woods
tells him he plans on being a 2-time king of the ring.
Gunther then said he is tired of this and told Vinci and
Kaiser to take care of Kofi and Woods.

The New Day VS. Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser

Woods hit the feet on Vinci while Kofi held him in a back
breaker position.

Winners: The New Day

Gunther gets mad and throws the chair he was sitting on and
walks out without Kaiser and Vinci.

In the ring Kaiser consoles Vinci until they get out of the
ring and Kaiser attacked Vinci. Kaiser lays Vinci over the
steel ring steps. Officials come to get Kaiser to the back,
but Kaiser runs full speed and kicks Vinci in the head
against the steps, the same thing he did to Kofi Kingston
that cost Kofi a few months of his career. Once in the back
Kaiser catches up to Gunther and said see I told you I would
get it done. Gunther nods in approval.


Andrade talks and says The Judgment Day did not want a
business partner and no one tells him what to do.

Drew McIntyre is out next and the crowd chants for CM Punk
as Drew sits down in the ring like Punk does. Drew says he
is targeting the King of the Ring and Sheamus comes out.
Sheamus tells Drew he is his friend, and he is there to tell
him the truth and a one arm CM Punk kicked your arse. Drew
tells Sheamus yes, we had banger after banger matches but
since you been back it looks like you have had burger after
burger. Sheamus said he can lose the weight, but he can’t
lose stupid.

Drew then tells Sheamus the people in the back were making
fun of him and he stood up for him because he is his only
friend here. Drew then tells Sheamus he is going to go out
and stay ringside to watch his back.

Sheamus VS. Shinsuke Nakamura

Sheamus hits a Brough kick out of nowhere and pins Shinsuke.


Winner: Sheamus

Cathy Kelly interviewed Sami Zayn about what happened last
week. Sami says he is angry and hurt and he can’t wait to
hear what Chad Gable has to say tonight. Big Bronson Reed
comes in and tells Sami never mind Chad Gable you have
bigger problems to worry about. Sami tells him anytime
anywhere.

Cathy asked Sami to elaborate, and Reed attacked Sami.

Out next is Chad Gable along with Alpha Academy. Chad says
Sami found him in the corner and laid the championship on
his shoulder. And it was his moment, and it should have been
him not Sami. Chad said he wasted his time training Sami,
and he has been training a bunch of losers. He then called
Tozawa a loser, called Maxxine dumb as a box of rocks and he
turned to Otis and said don’t even get me started on you.
Chad said Otis is the biggest disappointment of them all.

Chad said we are going to move on from this and concentrate
on Gable and you are going to help me no matter what. He
forced Otis to say no matter what.


Ricochet is getting ready, and Dominik comes in and they
exchange words and as Dominik turns to leave, he looks right
at Liv Morgan.

Nia Jax talking about tonight’s battle royal and called
herself a monster and will eliminate all the women in this
battle royal to win the championship.

Ricochet & Andrade VS. JD McDonagh & Santos Escobar

Andrade elbowed Escobar out of the ring and hit JD with the
Shadow for the win.

Winners: Ricochet & Andrade

After the match Priest comes in and attacked Ricochet &
Andrade. Priest then tells JD he doesn’t need either one of
him or Dominik they need him.

We saw a video of Zoey Stark who lists her accomplishments
and said she is just getting started.

Jackie Redmond interviewed Candace LeRae and Indie Hartwell
until there was screaming which was Nia Jax and Liv Morgan
yelling and being held apart by officials.

Becky Lynch comes in and takes the microphone and passes
Maxxine Dupri and she told her this is her first time
fighting for a world title and to show the world why it
won’t be her last.

Battle Royal to crown a new WWE World Women’s champion.

Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Maxxine Dupri, Candace LeRae, Indi
Hartwell, Shayna Baszler, Ivy Nile, Katana Chance, Kayden
Carter, Liv Morgan, Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, Natalya, and

Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch team up to eliminate Nia Jax so
it comes down to these two.

Becky threw Liv over the top rope, and she climbed through
the second rope and the fight continued till Becky hit a
manhandle slam on the apron and Liv fell to the floor.
