AT THE CHASE CENTER<br \/>\nAIRS ON USA NETWORK, 8:00 p.m. EDT<br \/>\nBY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Match Results from Last Week and Exclusives<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Night two of the Draft took place. See last week\u2019s Raw and Smackdown primers for results.<\/li>\n<li>In the opening promo segment, Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion Becky Lynch revealed she was the number one pick for Raw. Raw Women\u2019s Champion Charlotte Flair (now of Smackdown) interrupted followed by Bianca Belair. A match was set up for later in the evening between Flair and Belair.<\/li>\n<li>Damian Priest defeated Jeff Hardy to retain the U.S. Championship. Jeff was interviewed afterwards regarding his move to Smackdown until Austin Theory interrupted. He attacked Jeff and took a selfie.<\/li>\n<li>Shayna Baszler defeated Dana Brooke. She was going to do a post-match attack on Dana until Doudrop came out.<\/li>\n<li>Humberto Carrillo &amp; Angel Garza defeated Mustafa Ali &amp; Mansoor.<\/li>\n<li>WWE Champion Big E &amp; Drew McIntyre defeated Dolph Ziggler &amp; Robert Roode.<\/li>\n<li>Kevin Owens stunned Akira Tozawa after Tozawa interrupted Kevin from cutting a promo.<\/li>\n<li>Rhea Ripley &amp; Nikki Cross (no I\u2019m not calling her ASH, deal with it) defeated Natalya &amp; Tamina to retain the WWE Women\u2019s Championship.<\/li>\n<li>Goldberg &amp; Bobby Lashley discussed their upcoming match at Crown Jewel. Goldberg said Lashley was dead. Cedric Alexander &amp; Shelton Benjamin attacked Goldberg.<\/li>\n<li>New Day (Kofi Kingston &amp; Xavier Woods) defeated Shelton Benjamin &amp; Cedric Alexander.<\/li>\n<li>Raw Tag Team Champions RKBro (Randy Orton &amp; Riddle) brawled with A.J. Styles &amp; Omos. Randy had called out Omos earlier in the evening.<\/li>\n<li>Bianca Belair defeated Charlotte Flair via DQ when Becky Lynch pulled Bianca from pinning Charlotte. Becky tossed out Charlotte and then gave Bianca her (I think it\u2019s called) Man Slam. Sasha Banks made a surprise appearance and attacked Becky and Bianca, giving them both running knees. The show closed with Sasha standing over Becky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Arena<\/h4>\n<p>WWE returns to the Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. for the first time since September of 2019, just under three weeks after the arena opened. It is home to the multiple-time NBA Champion Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n<h4>Advertised Matches &amp; Segments<\/h4>\n<h4>Bianca Belair &amp; Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair &amp; Becky Lynch (Raw &amp; Smackdown Women\u2019s Champions)<\/h4>\n<p>Becky Lynch will defend the Smackdown Women\u2019s Championship against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair in a triple threat match at Crown Jewel.<\/p>\n<p>A contract signing was to take place this past Friday on Smackdown between those women, but things broke down. Bianca attempted to KOD both women, but Sasha escaped. She successfully put the move on Becky. Later Becky signed the contract; however, we didn\u2019t see the other women do as such. Earlier I noted what took place on last week\u2019s Raw. We must note that on the October 1 edition of Smackdown, Sasha beat Bianca after Becky distracted Bianca while doing guest commentary. Charlotte arrived to attack both women.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Sasha and Bianca will apparently put their differences aside and team up to face both women\u2019s champions who are also apparently putting their differences aside. In last week\u2019s opening promo, Charlotte noted that she made Becky relevant, taking her from Becky \u201cPre-Show\u201d to Becky \u201cTwo Belts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: There are a lot of moving parts and let\u2019s be honest. This is just WWE putting on what appears to be a big tag team match and the truth is they will likely not deliver a finish or there will be but there\u2019ll be a distraction. What is the point of watching the match? The action will be good, but that\u2019s not really the point. In addition, why would Bianca and Sasha want to team up? Why would Becky and Charlotte want to team up? If I were any of those women I would go to management and say hell no, I\u2019m not teaming with this person. What are you going to do about it? They won\u2019t. The match will go on, or maybe it won\u2019t, and that\u2019s another problem? We\u2019ll see in what way we have our time wasted.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>WWE Champion Big E and Drew McIntyre Face to Face<\/h4>\n<p>I mentioned Big E and Drew McIntyre defeating Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Prior to that, they were face to face in the ring. Drew talked about having Money in the Bank cashed in on him the way Big E did the same to Bobby Lashley. He acknowledged Big E deserving the WWE Championship, but he wanted to challenge for it. Since Drew lost to Lashley in a Hell in a Cell match, he was not able to challenge for the title if Lashley was champion.<\/p>\n<p>Later it was announced that they would go one-on-one at Crown Jewel for the WWE Championship. Drew is on his way to Smackdown effective October 22, the day after Crown Jewel. Big E is now a resident of Raw. They go \u201cface-to-face\u201d tonight.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1098573529\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: What is a face-to-face? Is that the brother or sister of a contract signing? Cousin? Anyway, they\u2019ve done a million of these. It\u2019s either ending in a fight or a stare down or a brawl with others. On to more important things \u2026 Brock Lesnar is challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel. They wouldn\u2019t have Lesnar win the title and Drew win the WWE title and take it to Smackdown would they? Lesnar is a free agent, so technically he can take the title to Raw. None of this is likely, but I wouldn\u2019t put anything past WWE. That said, I expect Big E to beat Drew since he\u2019s leaving Raw and \u201chas to do the job on the way out.\u201d What nonsense. Again, the match should be good, but that\u2019s not the point.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>King of the Ring and Queen\u2019s Crown Tournaments<\/h4>\n<p>WWE\u2019s preview for tonight points out the brackets in both the King of the Ring and Queen\u2019s Crown tournaments. On the Queen\u2019s Crown side Doudrop is set to take on Natalya while Shayna Baszler takes on her opponent from last week, Dana Brooke. Zelina Vega advanced to the semi-finals by beating Toni Storm while Carmella advanced by beating Dana Brooke. They will go one-on-one for the right to go to the finals. Carmella and Vega have been partners on several occasions recently.<\/p>\n<p>On the King of the Ring side former WWE Champions Kofi Kingston and Jinder Mahal go one-on-one while Xavier Woods takes on Ricochet. The potential exists for Kofi and Woods to go one-on-one. Sami Zayn advanced by beating Rey Mysterio while Finn Balor defeated Cesaro.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: These tournaments are a consolation prize. WWE does not have big plans for anyone involved. Perhaps we\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised, but I would be pessimistic about the futures of the participants involved here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
