AJ Styles vs Randy Orton. Orton seems slightly off his game. Styles wins clean. Orton does not snap. He is very calm about the loss. He shakes the hand of AJ Styles, with a grin. (82)

Sasha Banks vs Bayley. BLOOD FEUD is strong, as they furiously flail at each other early. Sasha appears to have things in hand, but eventually does a needlessly complex flying move and injures herself as Bayley moves. Bayley capitalizes on this misstep with a Bayley to Belly for the win. (58)

Raw Tag Titles. Braun & Curt Hawkins vs The Hardyz vs Sheamus and Cesaro. Braun is still kinda worse for wear after the match with Miz earlier, surprisingly, but refuses to get much help from an eager to help Curt Hawkins regardless. Sheamus and Cesaro are able to muscle through the wounded Braun in a weird variant of a 2 on 1 handicap match as Matt and Jeff kinda just... do their own thing for the most part-- Jeff pretending to throw his shirt to people appearing bored, and Matt shouting WONDERFUL and DELIGHTFUL for various offense but making no attempt to involve himself, while Hawkins is never tagged in. Smackdown now has BOTH pairs of tag titles! What does it mean??(65)

Owens and Zayn vs Roode and Nakamura. Roode and Nakamura are strong, but Owens and Zayn are just the more experienced and capable team, and get the pin on Roode after a Helluva Kick. (80)

A returning James Ellsworth rips off Paul Heyman's schtick for Brock, but to introduce Carmella as the REIGNING, DEFENDING, etc as Carmella taunts the crowd a bit. (50) Rusev (w/ Aiden English) vs Carmella for the Universal Title. Immediately after entrances, a returning BIG CASS slides in the ring, appears to go for a big boot on Rusev, but his leg gives out and he crumbles in a heap. Carmella yells at him for being worthless, and kicks Rusev straight in the balls for the intentional DQ. (66) While Rusev is selling his groin injury and Aiden English is trying to help him up, Randy Orton slides in, RKOs Aiden English out of nowhere, and he gets a trademark crazed look in his face, backs into the corner. Rusev is conscious, tries to get up to stop him, but can't recover fast enough. He shouts NOOOOOOO! as Orton gives Aiden English the PUNT~. Orton scrambles out before a now recovered Rusev shouting ORTONNN!!! can get to him. EMTs come and Aiden is taken on a gurney. Rather than pursue Orton, Rusev stays with Aiden, going with as he's loaded into an ambulance. (77) (Orton's heel turn was a complete success)

Carmella is celebrating and preparing to leave, but Daniels orders her back to the ring, as he isn't going to let a world title match go down like that. She goes back to the ring. Daniels says Carmella is hosting an open challenge for the Universal Title, against any superstar on the roster, and if she's disqualified she loses the title. No one immediately shows up... Daniels says he knows a lot of the men on the roster must be hesitant to battle a woman, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, here! Finally, Asuka answers the call! (64) Asuka completely destroys Carmella, and is the new Universal Champion! (60) Asuka celebrates this momentous win a bit, as the dual champion, teasing the end of the show, but Roman Reigns interrupts, saying this show isn't over yet, and calls out Joe (89)

Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe, I Quit. A pretty lengthy match. Both men show much tenacity. Late in the match, as he's being choked out for like the 4th time, this time longer than usual, Roman gurgles out some response to the ref that could be construed as an I Quit, but it's kinda unclear. The ref calls for the bell and awards the match to Joe as Roman is basically unconscious and unable to continue. The argue about whether Roman really quit as we fade to black (81)
