Wade Barrett checked in on color commentary while Cody headed to the ring. Sign Guy held up an &#8220;At least We Are Pat McAfree&#8221; sign. Cody announced that he was medically cleared to wrestle. He wondered what was next for him.<\/p>\n<p>Ricky Saints made his entrance and joined Cody inside the ring. &#8220;You boo what you don&#8217;t understand,&#8221; Saints said before introducing himself to the crowd. He said he&#8217;s young and successful, and everything the fans wish they were. Saints said he and Cody are no strangers. He said this is a revolution and welcomed fans to &#8220;Friday Night Saints.&#8221; The fans booed and then chanted for Cody.<\/p>\n<p>Cody said Saints knows how he feels about him and that he&#8217;s glad to have him on Smackdown, but he wanted to know what the difference was between now and the last time he stepped up to him. &#8220;You,&#8221; Saints responded. Saints spoke of Cody&#8217;s black eye and said he probably has staples in the back of his head. Saints said Cody&#8217;s three title reigns have aged him 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Saints said he stood in the background and congratulated Cody on milestone after milestone when it was a detriment to his career. Saints said he hoped that Cody had the same energy for him. &#8220;Because I&#8217;m here to relieve you of your duties, champ,&#8221; Saints said.<\/p>\n<p>Cody recalled telling the fans that he was cleared for action. Cody asked Saints if he wanted to face him tonight. Saints nodded, and then they shook hands. Saints was about to leave, but he stopped and said, &#8220;One more thing, actually.&#8221; Saints said he wasn&#8217;t there to make a statement; he was there to change who the show is about. Cody said he&#8217;s easy to find, hard to beat, and then dropped the microphone&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tessitore and Barrett spoke at their desk and then recapped footage of Fatal Influence&#8217;s debut on last week&#8217;s show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Cathy Kelley tried to interview Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, but she exited when Rhea Ripley arrived. Ripley said she tried to take on Fatal Influence alone last week and was ambushed. She said she was willing to put any differences with Flair aside to help out. Bliss said it was nice, but Flair said all she needs is Bliss, adding that three is a crowd.

Roughly an hour before showtime, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WrestleTix\">WrestleTix<\/a> listed the venue as being set up for 7,241 with 6,233 tickets distributed. The listed capacity is 19,199. The last time WWE ran the BOK Center, they distributed 8,864 tickets for the June 2, 2025, Raw.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast team announced that the Cody vs. Saints match was official for later in the show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Fatal Influence trio made their entrance. Jacy Jayne had a mic and insulted the crowd as they walked to the ring. Jayne said last week was just a small taste of what they will bring to Smackdown. She said there&#8217;s nothing Fatal Influence loves more than embarrassing a legend, and who better to start with than Flair&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Charlotte Flair (w\/Alexa Bliss) vs. Jacy Jayne (w\/Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid). <\/strong>Barrett gushed over the confidence that Jayne displayed by starting her Smackdown career by facing Rhea Ripley and now Flair.\u00a0 Flair went for a Figure Four, but Jayne scrambled and got to ringside, where Bliss startled her going into a PIP break. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Jayne rolled through a crossbody block and got a two count. Jayne followed up with a superkick, but Flair dropped her with a big boot. Flair performed a top rope moonsault and got a two count. Jayne slipped away from a bodyslam attempt and chop-blocked Flair before hitting her with a running knee strike that led to a near fall.<\/p>\n<p>Jayne went for her finisher, but Flair caught her with a big boot. Flair bridged into the Figure 8, but Henley pulled Flair&#8217;s arms while the referee wasn&#8217;t looking. Bliss took out Henley, but Reid dropped Bliss and then went to the apron. Flair knocked Reid off the apron with a big boot. Flair turned around, and Jayne hit her with the Rolling Encore before pinning her.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jacy Jayne defeated Charlotte Flair in 10:05.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Afterward, the Fatal Influence trio put the boots to Flair. Bliss tried to help, but she was outnumbered. WWE Women&#8217;s Champion Rhea Ripley ran out and dropped Henley with a superkick on the floor. Ripley entered the ring and put Reid down with a kick. Ripley headbutted Jayne and set up for Riptide, but Jayne slipped away and shoved Ripley, who stopped just short of colliding with Flair. After a tense moment, Flair and Ripley shook hands&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Jayne and her Fatal Influence sidekicks are off to a good start. I&#8217;m still concerned that they&#8217;ll be fed to Ripley, Flair, and Bliss, but perhaps Ripley and Flair will have a meltdown that allows the heels to go over. It&#8217;s logical to establish Jayne first, but I hope Henley and Reid get to establish their personalities.<\/p>\n<p>WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella were watching the match on a television in their dressing room. Byron Saxton entered the room and asked them about being attacked by Fatal Influence last week. They spoke of getting even at some point, but said they needed to focus on their title match against Nia Jax and Lash Legend&#8230;<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1927644873\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Footage aired from earlier in the day of Damian Priest entering the picture as R-Truth was speaking with Axiom and Nathan Frazer. Priest thought Axiom was one of the Americanos. Priest told Truth that Axiom and Frazer are the kind of guys he was telling them about, and said he looks forward to facing them for the titles. Axiom and Frazer were surprised and quickly accepted. Truth asked Priest what he was doing. Priest assumed that Truth had granted them a tag title shot. Truth said they can&#8217;t be giving everybody title shots. Tessitore said the tag team title match was up next&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I believe Paul Heyman was arguing with Nick Aldis in the background. They go with long-distance shots at times, and it&#8217;s not always easy to make out who is involved, which kind of defeats the purpose.<\/p>\n<p>A SummerSlam ad aired&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Miz and Kit Wilson were backstage. Wilson set a trap using a &#8220;Free Human Monies&#8221; sign. They heard Danhausen coming and hid. Danhausen saw the sign and opened a briefcase. He took what he thought was $400 and said he could buy so many teeth with it. Miz and Wilson came out of hiding once Danhausen left. Miz complained that Danhausen walked off with $40,000 of his money. One of them opened the briefcase, setting off the trap that covered them in powder. Wilson said it worked&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Entrances for the tag team title match took place&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Damian Priest and R-Truth vs. Axiom and Nathan Frazer for the WWE Tag Team Titles.<\/strong> The challengers got the better of the champions before the early break. [C] In the end, Priest put Frazer down with a South of Heaven chokeslam. He followed up with a Razor&#8217;s Edge on Axiom before pinning him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Damian Priest and R-Truth defeated Axiom and Nathan Frazer in 9:35 to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After the match, Talla Tonga entered the ring and put down the champions. Solo Sikoa got on the apron and gave instructions, and then laughed when Talla performed a double chokeslam on Axiom and Frazer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Hour Two]<\/strong> Talla capped it off by chokslamming Priest&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> The match was laid out to let Axiom and Frazer put up a fight before Priest dominated them in the final seconds. The post match angle made Talla look great.<\/p>\n<p>Solo and Talla were still in the ring coming out of the break. Solo said Jacob Fatu made a big mistake. Footage aired of Fatu destroying Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and JC Mateo on last week&#8217;s show. Solo said Fatu took out his family. Solo said Fatu would be a dead man walking once he arrived at the building.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso made their entrance via the stage. Once in the ring, Jimmy said Solo isn&#8217;t the only one who has a problem with Fatu. Jimmy said Fatu made a mistake by putting his hands on Roman Reigns. Jey said Fatu used the Tongan Death Grip, which is a sacred hold and a last resort.<\/p>\n<p>Jey said whatever plans Solo has for Fatu would have to wait until Reigns is done with him. Solo said there was plenty of Fatu to go around. Jey cut him off and said they weren&#8217;t asking him, they were telling him. Solo laughed and said he didn&#8217;t have time for this, and told Talla they were leaving. Solo nodded at Talla, who dropped Jey with a big boot and then chokeslammed Jimmy. Solo told the Usos to tell Reigns that he isn&#8217;t his Tribal Chief. Solo said he and Talla don&#8217;t give a damn what Reigns says. Solo said whether Reigns likes it or not, Fatu is a dead man&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Sami Zayn approached Cody Rhodes and complained about Cody calling him sarcastic and condescending. Zayn wondered if it was because he called Cody the golden boy. Zayn said that wasn&#8217;t an insult because they all want to be the golden boy. Zayn said he&#8217;s tired of the misunderstandings between them. Zayn said they are the last of the good buys and need to stick together. Sami said that he and Cody are the same. Cody said there was a lot of truth in what Zayn said, but they are not the same&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tessitore hyped Cody vs. Saints for after the break&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;Did You Know?&#8221; graphic listed that Goldberg was born and raised in Tulsa&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> So will Goldberg complain that WWE didn&#8217;t list the county that Tulsa is located in, or because they failed to list the hospital he was born in? It seems like it&#8217;s always something lately.<\/p>\n<p>Footage aired of NBA star Jalen Brunson being asked about Roman Reigns&#8230; Danhausen said the New York Knicks scored a trillion points because he un-cursed them, so now they get to continue in the playoffs. Danhausen said Stephen A. Smith is still cursed (and an obnoxious jackass)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Cody Rhodes and Ricky Saints made their entrances&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Ricky Saints in a non-title match.<\/strong> There was a quick handshake. Saints took Cody down with a couple of arm drags and then smiled at Cody as they were both lying on the mat. Saints was in offensive control throughout most of a PIP break. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Saints did his cocky Old School rope walk. Saints played to the crowd and then charged Cody, who powerslammed him. Cody followed up with a Disaster Kick and a Cody Cutter. Cody played to the crowd and then scooped up Saints, who slipped out and then spiked Cody&#8217;s face on the mat before covering him for a near fall. A &#8220;Cody&#8221; chant broke out.<\/p>\n<p>Saints hit a Revolution DDT for a near fall. Saints went for a Roshambo, but Cody countered with CrossRhodes and got the three count&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defeated Ricky Saints in 9:00 in a non-title match.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After the match, Gunther entered the ring and put Cody in a sleeper hold. He released the hold, and Cody fell to the mat. Gunther reapplied the hold while on the mat. A group of referees intervened. Gunther grabbed the WWE Championship belt. Gunther held up the belt and then dropped it next to Cody before exiting the ring&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> An enjoyable match. I wasn&#8217;t crazy enough to think that Saints would win, but I was hoping for a cheap finish so Saints could avoid being pinned clean during his Smackdown debut. Gunther attacking Cody was a fun surprise and I&#8217;d welcome a rematch. That said, all of the wrestlers moving from brand to brand without explanation makes it seem like WWE is doing the &#8220;transfer window&#8221; gimmick without actually announcing it.<\/p>\n<p>Danhausen made his entrance. Once in the ring, he said he found $400 in the back and spent it on his own merchandise to give to the fans. Danhausen threw some merch into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The Miz came out and complained about how bad things have been happening to him since Danhausen arrived. Miz entered the ring and said he realized that he is cursed. A &#8220;yes, you are&#8221; chant broke out. Miz said he would do the one thing he thought he would never do. Miz said he would be Danhausen&#8217;s mentor. &#8220;Mizhausen?&#8221; Danhausen asked. Miz repeated it. They were about to shake hands when entrance music stopped them.<\/p>\n<p>Kit Wilson came out and wasn&#8217;t happy. Miz put over the way Danhausen has connected with the crowd. He asked Wilson if he could say the same. Danhausen answered no for him. Miz said Wilson wasn&#8217;t in the same league. He was about to shake hands with Danhausen, but Wilson said no.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson wanted Miz to be his mentor. Wilson asked Miz to shake his hand. Danhausen told Miz to shake his hand instead. Miz went back and forth, and the fans did the &#8220;Yay\/Boo&#8221; bit. Miz opted to shake Danhausen&#8217;s hand, which drew cheers.<\/p>\n<p>Miz said there was only one thing left to do. Danhausen started to curse Wilson, but Miz hit Danhausen from behind. Miz and Wilson bumped fists and then attacked Danhausen. Miz performed the Skull Crushing Finale, and then Wilson hit Danhausen with a top rope elbow drop&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Royce Keys was shown warming up backstage for a match against Angel&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I can&#8217;t say that you could see this coming a mile away, because the live crowd believed Miz and was hot for the idea of him mentoring Danhausen. In fact, I wonder if some second-guessing is taking place backstage due to how much the fans wanted to see the Mizhausen alliance.<\/p>\n<p>A Blake Monroe &#8220;coming soon&#8221; video aired&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Angel and Berto were in the ring. Royce Keys made his entrance&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Royce Keys vs. Angel (w\/Berto).<\/strong> Keys dominated the match and won clean after performing the Ultimate Spinebuster&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Royce Keys beat Angel in 1:45.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cathy Kelley interviewed Women&#8217;s U.S. Champion Tiffany Stratton in a backstage area. Stratton noted that she was celebrating a birthday. She started to talk about holding an open challenge, but she was interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea Green said she tried to plan a surprise party, but Nick Aldis ruined it, so they are going out for martinis. Stratton said she couldn&#8217;t think of a worse way to celebrate her birthday. Green said they would discuss her third and fourth reign as champion.<\/p>\n<p>Giulia and Kiana James showed up. Giulia and James wanted Giulia to get a rematch. Stratton said she liked the idea of having a title match next week, but she said it would be against James instead. Giulia tried to play it cool, but she wasn&#8217;t pleased&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The production crew brought a Gingerbread Man costume to the ring&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Royce Keys wrapped up a phone conversation. He looked up and looked a person up and down. Jacob Fatu entered the picture. They both laughed and shook hands. Fatu said he&#8217;s known Keys for 14-15 years. Keys said he&#8217;s the same guy. Keys recalled how they drove ten hours in his &#8217;89 Honda Accord, with windows that didn&#8217;t roll down, to Vegas and back, and then had to work a 12-hour shift at a warehouse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Hour Three]<\/strong> Keys asked Fatu if he was going to go to the top or let Roman Reigns take food off his table. Keys questioned if being in WWE made Fatu forget the smell of the streets. Keys said people like them take everything they want. Fatu shook his hand again.<\/p>\n<p>Talla Tonga ran into the picture and put Keys down as Fatu was talking away. Fatu turned back and threw punches at Talla, but Solo showed up and fought with Fatu until Talla grabbed Fatu and chokeslammed him through a table&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It&#8217;s cool to see them establish a longtime friendship between Fatu and Keys. The relationship elevates Keys, while also giving Fatu an ally.<\/p>\n<p>The Gingerbread Man suit was upright in the ring when Sami Zayn made his entrance. Zayn said he loved coming to Tulsa. He said he had a beautiful morning at the Bob Dylan Center. He said Dylan was a folk legend in the &#8217;60s until he picked up an electric guitar, and then fans turned on him.<\/p>\n<p>Zayn said he could relate. He said he didn&#8217;t know what he did that was so wrong to deserve the fan reactions he&#8217;d been getting. He said he can deal with bad reactions, but he doesn&#8217;t deal well with disrespect. He complained about Trick Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Zayn said the Gingerbread Man represents Trick more than him, because it was a shell of a man wearing a costume. He said it&#8217;s easy to do what Trick does by dancing and using catchphrases. Zayn said he could do that in his sleep. He said leaving it all in the ring year in and year out is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Zayn said the Gingerbread Man represents Trick not taking things seriously. Zayn said he sees disrespect. Zayn teased punching the Gingerbread Man costume. He apologized and said he&#8217;s losing his marbles. Zayn apologized to the Gingerbread man and then shook the suit&#8217;s hand before kicking him in his gingerbread balls. Zayn ripped one of the arms off the suit and pulled off a purple button.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Champion Trick Williams&#8217; entrance music played. Trick headed to the ring and traded punches with Zayn. Trick got the better of it, and Zayn exited the ring and hopped the barricade. Trick stood on the ropes while his entrance music played and the fans chanted, &#8220;Whoop That Trick.&#8221; Trick checked on the Gingerbread Man and then held up the X sign&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> The X gag was funny for those who know it&#8217;s the sign that referees give to alert people backstage to an injury. But it didn&#8217;t seem like the fans in the building were in on the joke.<\/p>\n<p>A video package recapped Paige and Brie Bella winning the WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Titles by winning a four-way at WrestleMania 42&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Byron Saxton interviewed Nia Jax and Lash Legend. They said they were able to prepare for Paige rather than Nikki Bella, and noted that there would be two teams rather than four this time around&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviewed Trick Williams, who said Sami Zayn took out Lil Yachty last week and the Gingerbread Man this week. Trick said Zayn is messing with his money. Trick said he will face Zayn at WWE Backlash. A &#8220;doctor&#8221; exited Trick&#8217;s dressing room. Trick told the doc to tell him the news. The doctor indicated that it didn&#8217;t look good for the Gingerbread Man&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Entrances for the WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Title match took place&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Paige and Brie Bella vs. Nia Jax and Lash Legend for the WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Titles.<\/strong> Legend dropped Paige with a big punch and then threw more punches at her while she was down. Legend followed up with a splash and covered Paige for a two count. A short time later, Jax knocked Brie off the apron. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Brie hit a Bella Buster on Legend and covered her, but Jax broke up the pin. Jax tossed Paige to the floor and then returned to her corner and tagged in. Jax put Brie down and set up for her Annihilator finisher, but Paige kicked Jax off the ropes. Brie hooked Jax&#8217;s legs and got the three count.<\/p>\n<p><em>Paige and Brie Bella defeated Nia Jax and Lash Legend in 7:50 to retain the WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Titles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Meh. I was fine with Paige and Brie having a run with the titles, but I&#8217;m not crazy about seeing the powerhouse team take another loss.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast team spoke at their desk. Tessitore spoke in a borderline somber tone as he recapped the situation with the Gingerbread Man. Tessitore said Trick Williams wanted the fans to know something, and then acted like he was too choked up to say the words. An &#8220;In Memoriam&#8221; graphic listed the Gingerbread Man as 2026-2026, along with &#8220;Rest In Pieces&#8221;&#8230; [C]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> You know, the memorial graphic is nice, but it&#8217;s bullshit that the Gingerbread Man didn&#8217;t get a memorial video package. I&#8217;m going to spend the rest of the weekend hate-tweeting about this injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Footage aired of Tiffany Stratton meeting Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O&#8217;Connell at Vikings headquarters. They hugged, and she showed him the Women&#8217;s U.S. Championship belt. Footage was shown of Stratton, Otis, and Maxxine Dupri visiting a local school. They also showed Dupri at last night&#8217;s Timberwolves game&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Vikings headquarters and a playoff game? Tiffany Stratton would have lived my dream day had she followed up meeting KOC by watching the Minnesota Wild eliminate the Dallas Stars last night, rather than seeing the Timberwolves eliminate the Denver Nuggets. I&#8217;m just more of a hockey guy, but she couldn&#8217;t go wrong, as it was a rare great night for Minnesota&#8217;s male sports teams.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast team listed the following for next week&#8217;s Smackdown in Jacksonville: Gunther explains why he attacked Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton vs. Kiana James for the Women&#8217;s U.S. Championship, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss vs. &#8220;Fatal Influence&#8221; Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid, and a funeral for the Gingerbread Man&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I&#8217;ll be disappointed if Gingerbread Man doesn&#8217;t sit up during the funeral, leading someone to call him GingerTaker. Oh, and I&#8217;ll stop hate-tweeting now that WWE is giving Gingerbread Man the respect he deserves, but I won&#8217;t actually admit that they did right by him. That&#8217;s how you do the angry online fan thing, right?<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Sami Zayn complained to Nick Aldis, who said everyone was grieving over Gingerbread Man&#8217;s death. Zayn told him to stop. Aldis booked Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn for Backlash. Zayn was pleased before he made his exit.<\/p>\n<p>Danhausen showed up. Aldis said he would give Danhausen a match against The Miz and Kit Wilson at Backlash if he could find a tag team partner&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>An ad for Raw listed a contract signing for the Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu match for WWE Backlash, and Oba Femi&#8217;s open challenge&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Usos made their entrance through the crowd&#8230; [C] Solo Sikoa and Talla Tonga made their entrance for the main event&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso vs. Solo Sikoa and Talla Tonga.<\/strong> Solo performed a Spinning Solo Slam on Jimmy. Solo followed up with a running hip attack. [C] A graphic listed that the first hour of Backlash will air on ESPN2 at 5CT\/6ET on Saturday, May 9.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the match, Talla had both Usos down on the floor when he cleared the broadcast table. Jacob Fatu jumped off the barricade out of nowhere and hit Talla to end the match.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso fought Solo Sikoa and Talla Tonga to an apparent no-contest in roughly 10:30.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fatu ran Talla into the ring post casing twice. Fatu grabbed the top half of the ring steps and battered Talla with them. Fatu entered the ring. Solo barked at him. Solo went for a Samoan Spike, but Fatu beat him to the punch with the Tongan Death Grip. Fatu attempted a suicide dive on Talla, who caught him. Talla brought Fatu onto a piece of the ring steps in front of the broadcast table, but Fatu put him in the Tongan Death Grip and then used a Samoan Drop to put Talla through the table.<\/p>\n<p>Fatu returned to the ring where the Usos were waiting. The Usos looked like they were prepared to fight, but Fatu simply walked between them with a shoulder bump and exited the ring. Barrett said Roman Reigns didn&#8217;t need the Usos to tell him that he has a massive problem at Backlash. Barrett also recapped highlights from the match. Tessitore said Backlash was only eight days away while hyping Reigns vs. Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Fatu stood on the stage with a mic and told the Usos to tell Reigns that he will dog walk his ass at Backlash. The executive producer credits were shown as Fatu glared at the Usos to close the show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Talla&#8217;s evening ended with him being put through a broadcast table, and yet it was still his best night to date. I find it interesting that Fatu didn&#8217;t get physical with the Usos tonight. My guard is still up for a potential alliance between the three. Either way, they are doing a nice job of building up Uso on short notice. I just hope we have a better understanding of the babyface\/heel dynamic coming out of Backlash.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this was a solid show. It felt like they could have trimmed the fat and produced a strong two-hour episode. I will be back shortly with my weekly same-night audio review of Smakdown for <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/dot-net-membership-benefits\/\">Dot Net Members<\/a> (including our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/prowrestlingdotnet\">Patreon<\/a> patrons).
