From PW Insider:
- Raquel Rodriguez won a Gauntlet match to become the top contender for Ronda Rousey's Smackdown Women’s Championship, defeating Shayna Baszler.
- Rey Mysterip pinned Angel Garza. Karrion Kross and Scarlett were in the crowd. Rey Mysterio dared Kross to fight him but it didn't happen.
- Bray Wyatt cut a promo demanding LA Knight apologize to him since he's obviously not Uncle Howdy. He then attacked the cameraman filming him.
- Roman Reigns cut a promo promising to beat Kevin Owens and John Cena next week. It was noted Sheamus vs. Solo would also take place on next week's show in Tampa. Sami will take care of his past next week in Owens.
- WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated Hit Row.
- Braun Strowman & Ricochet defeated Imperium in a Street Fight. There was a deal where New Day, dressed as toy soldiers, were inside one of the gift boxes. The finish saw Ricochet come off Braun's shoulders, recreating the old Jimmy Snuka-Andre the Giant spot.

This show sounds pretty dire outside of the street fight
First off Raquel runs through the Smackdown women's division AGAIN in a Gauntlet to regain momentum, because we definitely needed to see that again.
Garza still exists and is a jobber for Rey. Kross storyline still sounds as hilariously bad as it did before
The Bray shit continues to go f***ing slower than a snail glued to a table. And randomly attacking the cameraman when LA Knight I guess doesn't show up is... a choice? Shit's starting to lose me badly and I was willing to see where it went.
Roman getting paid mad money to just cut two promos after being away for weeks, what a f***ing job he has, I can't even be mad lmfao
Usos win LOL, shocker. I'm curious how Top Dolla looked in this match after the thing everyone's gonna remember him for no matter what he does next.
Street fight sounds fun, wish New Day would just stay on NXT for a few months but it is what it is.

Demanding an apology while offering no help against Uncle Howdy who's clearly there mainly for Bray feels like such a heel move lol #LAKnightIstheFace

Saw the order of eliminations for the gauntlet match. Obviously Raquel was going to win but surprised that Liv didn't even get one fall in the match and she lost to Raquel who had already been in the match. It's like she's back to the same spot she was before the title run. Also, cool to see Xia get some pins, she never got a fair shot under Vince.

Yeah, this show sounds really bad.
Also this kind of does a lot to convince me that Bray actually is Uncle Howdy and that that was just some double they won't explain.

It sounds like next week will be more like what many expected this week to be.
Shayna is just Ronda’s pin eater at this point.
Liv is very over, yet she apparently gets no shine in the match.
The USO’s win, what a shocker.
Etc.

Has anyone who was there commented on what the gauntlet was actually like? All I've seen is complaints about the winner/elimination order, but nothing about the actual match or how the crowd was.

That’s just what we call him after Dom and Rhea beat his ass for like the millionth time.

It sounds like a good show. I have to do research but I like that Rey Mysterio wrestled Angel as Rey wrestled Angel's uncle Hector Garza. So, I have to find out the last time someone wrestled an Uncle & Nephew.

I have to look it up before next week.

Book your most over face in the match to do nothing and lose to another face who isn't over and has already been in the match. Real schrewd booking there. Seems like they are just going to continue to push Raquel down everyone's throats no matter how unover she is.

In terms of overall most recent to do it, here's a contender I never would have guessed: The Tonga Kid/Tama/Sam Fatu wrestled Chavo Jr. in 2019 and Chavo's uncle Hector back in 1989.
