The undefeated MMA fighter Jake Hager made his entrance letting out a battle cry while he pounded his chest and then stared down Geiz who was not unfazed or intimidated by Hager. The Inner Circle muscle got in the ring and was now ready for action.
(Geiz vs. Jake)
As the opening bell rang, the two men locked up like two rams as they have a mighty test of strength. Applying of what Suzuki taught him, Geiz used his strength to push Jake off as he laughed and stick out his tongue, exactly like Suzuki. Hager was not intimidated as he attempted to go on the offense with a right hand, but Geiz ducked and hits a dropkick, knocking Jake down, forcing him to roll out, so he can recover.
(Minutes later)
As Geiz went for the Death Wish knee strike, Jake countered and locks in the Ankle Lock.
Geiz hanged on, and managed to get out of the hold by rolling through to make Jake collide with the turnbuckle. Then Geiz capitalized on the opportunity by nailing Hager with a piledriver, but it was only good for the two count.
(Fast forward towards the end)
Jake kicked Geiz in the gut, and attempted to finish it with the gutwrench powerbomb, but the Sniper escaped and locked in the Coffin sleeper hold on the MMA fighter. The Sniper of the East took down Jake and applied the grapevine on the hold. Hager struggled to reach for the ropes as he can't roll over.
Hager slowly began to fade as his eyes were shut closed. The referee raised Jake's arm three times and called for the bell, giving Geiz the win via technical submission.
The referee handed him his United States title and raised his arm while Geiz stood over Jake.
(Few minutes later)
It was time for another grudge match as Billie Kay defends her SmackDown Women's title against the Queen Slayer Anna Jay.
For the past few weeks, Billie has been targeting Anna on behalf of her best friend and life partner Peyton Royce, who was currently off on maternity leave as she was pregnant with Josh's second child.
Billie was in her locker room all ready to go and was currently doing some last minute stretching; she then heard a knock on her door.
Billie: it's open
Her love Travis came in and the American Nightmare walked in with a smile.
Travis: all ready to go, babe?
Billie: you damn right I am
Travis: not only you're fighting for Josh, you're fighting for Peyton too
Billie: Peyton is my best friend, she and I are literally sisters
Travis: yeah, that's the main reason why we're neighbors with Josh and Peyton; we may live in different houses, but we're still together
Billie: yeah, I'm fighting for Peyton, and I know she is watching at home very proud
Then Billie's phone rang, and the Femme Fatale's eyes lit up as she saw it was Peyton.
Billie: it's my bestie!
Travis: oh, answer it!
Billie answered and saw her best friend on camera.
Peyton: hey sister!
Billie: hey bestie, how are you?
Peyton: doing fine, I have a bump forming
Billie: oh wow; who's there with you?
Peyton: the girls; Charlotte and Becky are making food for me, Bayley, Kairi, Carmella and Sasha are feeding my dogs and Liv and Asuka are keeping me and Madison company
Travis: looks like you're taking care of
Billie: are you watching the show now?
Peyton: yeah I am; Geiz had a great match against Hager
Billie: now you will watch me beat up the homewrecker in you and Josh's lives
Peyton: yes! Do it!
Billie: I'm dedicating this match to you, my life partner and the little bundle of joy inside you
Peyton: love you Billie; go and kick some ass
Billie: yes ma'am
The two best friends ended their call.
Travis: good luck babe
The American Nightmare gave the SmackDown Women's Champion a kiss for good luck, which Billie smiled as she kissed back. Travis then smacked Billie's bottom for good luck, making her blush.
Billie: so cheeky
Travis smirked. Then Billie left to the gorilla to waited for her cue.
(Kay vs. Jay)
The two women stared daggers at each other after the introductions were made. As the bell rang, Anna stepped up to taunt Billie.
Anna: where's your best friend, huh? Wait, where's Josh?
The insults fired at Peyton and Josh lit a fuse inside Billie as the champion fired a right hand slap followed by a forearm, stunning the challenger.
Billie brought Anna to the turnbuckle and landed punches while the referee warned her for a possible disqualification. As Billie went for the offense, Anna fired back with slap and a poke to the eye; then she takes down the champion with a running bulldog for an early cover, but Billie was able to kick out.
(Minutes later)
Anna attempted to lock in her Queen Slayer submission, but Billie fought back and connected with a suplex, but still had the hold on; Billie got up and connected with another suplex and then hits a third one in the style of Peyton's Venus Flytrap pin, but Anna was able to get her shoulder up.
(End of match)
Anna had the Queen Slayer locked in, but Billie managed to reach for the ropes using her feet to force a break on the hold. Anna tried to go for an offense, but Billie fazed her with an enziguri before ending with the Shades of Kay kick for the pinfall win to retain her SmackDown Women's title while also fighting for her life partner, Peyton. But Billie knew in her mind that it's not over between her and Anna.
(A few minutes later)
Following Billie's successful title defense, Alexa is attempting to use that momentum in her match against the homewrecker in her and Alex's lives, Tay Conti. The Goddess was all warmed up and ready as she was approached by the love of her life.
Alex: hey babe, you want me to be in your corner?
Alexa: no, it's alright babe; you need to focus on your match, especially it's against a jerk
Alex: well he can't escape because he's trapped inside with me in a cage
Alexa: bring that title to us, babe
Alex: I will, go kick her ass
Alexa: that's my job
The two shared a kiss as the Goddess left with the mission on hand.
(Alexa vs. Tay)
Tay waited for the Goddess to come out while she had an overconfident look on her face. Then her look changed as Alexa's theme played and the Goddess dashed down the ramp, slid in the ring and then takes down Tay by raining right hands while the bell rang. Tay tried to escape, but Alexa got her while connecting punches.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu artist managed to roll out of the way to catch her breath while Alexa taunted her in the ring.
Alexa: come on! Fight me!
Tay rolled back in and the two women started to trade punches. Alexa got the advantage by connecting multiple forearms while Tay went down on her knees; then Alexa followed it up by connecting with a dropkick for an early cover, only for Tay to kick out at one.

Alexa then climbed the top turnbuckle and looks to hit the Twisted Bliss, but the Goddess shook her head and was thinking of other things as she got down.
The Goddess picked the Brazilian jiu-jitsu up, but Tay fired back with a right hand followed by an enziguri to faze Alexa. She then set up Alexa for the DDTay, but the Goddess managed to escape the hold and strikes from out of nowhere with an RKO, much to the shock of the packed AEW crowd in Daily's Place.

Josh: talk about my wife like that, huh?!
The Fallen Warrior slammed Sammy's face on the table again before throwing him back in the ring for an early cover.

(Fast forward towards the end of the match)
