[HOUR ONE]

-They opened with a recap of the Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa interactions last week followed by their match with Jey winning via interference, thus requiring Solo to show up tonight and be “delivered” by Jey to Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief.

-They showed Chad Gable signing fan autographs outside the area, then arrival shots of Sol Ruca and Sol Ruca.

-Michael Cole introduced the show as they panned the audience. He touted a crowd of over 11,000.

-Stephanie Vaquer made her ring entrance. They recapped last week’s verbal exchange with Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan. She said live that she doesn’t want to talk because wrestling is her first language4. She called Liv to the ring to fight. Liv’s music played. She came out with Roxanne Perez and Raquel. Rodriguez. She said that Becky alleged that her holding the title negates all the progress people like her have made. She said she doesn’t care and he’s not a champion for anyone but herself. She leaned heavily into her awkward laughter.

Vaquer told her to head to the ring. Liv accepted the invite and said she’d regret it. Vaquer outmaneuvered Raquel and Perez, but Liv then tackled her. Vaquer made a comeback and kicked Vaquer in the face. Raquel and Perez regrouped and attacked her. Becky came out for the save. The three heels voerwhelmed them. Perez gave Vaquer a Pop Rox. Liv’s music then played as the heels gloated.

-Jimmy and Jey were dancing and elated backstage. They obnoxiously called Solo out of their locker room. He looked forlorn as he walked down the hall. They ran into LA Knight. Solo and Knight locked eyes. The Usos told Solo that the Tribal Cheif was waitiing, so let’s roll. They entered the locker room labeled Roman Reigns. [c]

(1) DOMINIK MYSTERIO vs. JD MCDONAGH

The bell rang 17 minutes into the hour. Cole said it was an impromptu match that developed during the commercial. He said Dom and JD were complaining that Dom wasn’t in the tournament to determine who Roman would face next month in Mexico. That led to Je’Von Evans coming out to call out Big Cass, which led to a match with JD.

Evans cleared JD from the ring early. Cole said he admired Evans for calling out Big Cass. Dom tripped Evans from ringside, opening up JD to blindside Evans from behind. Evans lifted his knees on a JD splash. Dom pulled JD to ringside. Evans clothslined JD over the time keeper’s area. He then played to the crowd and circled the ring before hitting a flying crossbody onto JD who was sitting on a chair in the time keeper’s area. He applauded and then threw JD back into the ring. JD took over, working over Evans’ ankle and ramming his leg around the ringpost. They cut to a double-box break at 4:00. [c/db]

JD remained in control after the break.
