WWE Women's Tag Title Match
Naomi, who is a replacement for Jade Cargill, stepped up to the plate with her partner Bianca Belair, who were defending tag gold against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. Despite being told to stay backstage, Tiffany Stratton came to Jax's aide but only created confusion, where Naomi got a sneaky pinfall over LeRae to remain Women's Tag Champs.
In other matches on the evening, Carmelo Hayes gained a massive win over Brawn Strowman via a count-out, but that did not stop the latter from giving the 'monster among men' a backstage chair shot later in the show. Johnny Gargano claimed victory via pinfall over Alex Sheley after distraction from Tommaso Ciampa.
