Damian Priest, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega Segment
Damian Priest: Hershey, Pennsylvania. It’s nice to hear that energy, because I know the last few days weren’t easy. Saturday Night’s Main Event, we were forced to say goodbye to the career of John Cena. I can’t tell you how much I agree with that emotion, I really do. But I think I could speak for all of us, when I say to someone who inspired so many, when I say to the man, without a shadow of doubt, he is the greatest of all-time, we say, Thank You Cena! I feel that, thank you for that. Now, let’s talk about some good times, good times, like, last Friday Night SmackDown, when Zelina and Aleister got their asses dropped by The Terror Twins. Yeah, that business has been handled, so now we could look to 2026.
Zelina Vega: Oh, Damian. You are such a hypocrite. You really think that getting your Mami to fight your battles for you makes you a real man? Newsflash, you didn’t even get the pin. And you call that salvation? You just can’t stand the fact that Aleister broke you. You made your decision, and now you’ll have to live with ours, or more importantly, his.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Nia Jax & Lash Legend. Nia has no time for Byron calling Lash’s victory over Alexa Bliss last week an upset. She clearly beat Alexa, handily. And no matter how great Little Lexy is, she didn’t stand a chance against her, because she was whooping her little tail all over that ring, because that’s what The Boujee Bully does. Now that they’re done with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, they’re moving on. Nia says that, once they annihilate The Kabuki Warriors, they’re going to slide into that tag team championship match and become the new Tag Team Champions. Byron points out that Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will get a tag title shot on the 1 Year Anniversary of Raw on Netflix. Nia calls Byron annoying. Those tag titles are theirs. Forget Rhea and Iyo, forget The Kabuki’s, forget Charlotte and Alexa, it’s about The Irresistible Force and The Boujee Bully now, and they’re coming for those Women’s Tag Team Titles.
– Coming out of the commercial break, Aleister Black viciously ambushes Damian Priest in the backstage area as he was getting directed towards the trainer’s room. Black drops Priest with The Black Mass against the wall.

Cody Rhodes, Nick Aldis, Drew McIntyre Segment
Nick Aldis: All right, so I’ve brought you guys with me here today to document everything, because, unfortunately, it’s come to this. I have to make sure I catch everything on camera, because there’s no way of knowing what Drew will misrepresent if I don’t. Okay, first things first, thank you for inviting me into your home.
Drew McIntyre: You’re welcome.
Nick Aldis: It goes without saying that this could have happened at the office, but out of respect and in the interest of good faith, here I am. And given the stunt you pulled in DC, I’m really questioning why I still came. But, Cody wants you reinstated. We all want you reinstated. You’re a top talent in WWE, obviously an integral part of SmackDown. So, I have a proposal. I think that you’re gonna like the terms. You get a one-on-one match with the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. The title will be on the line. And secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you’ve repented, I’d like a public apology to Dan Engler for that heinous attack. He’s lucky he’s not in intensive care. There’s also a hefty fine, but I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that. So those are the terms. Take it or leave it.
Drew McIntyre: I get my match for the WWE Championship?
Nick Aldis: Yes.
Drew McIntyre: The thing I want more than anything. I’ve got no choice. No, absolutely not. No, this is what Cody wants. This is what you want. You’ve created an unsafe working environment. I accept these terms, I’m just gonna get screwed again. So no, I don’t accept your terms.
Nick Aldis: Instead of another monologue about all the ways you’ve been screwed, why don’t you just tell me what you want?
Drew McIntyre: Okay, what I want is what’s fair. Fair, that’s it. If I come back, if I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes. That’s deserved. I’m learning how much you’re willing to protect your golden boy, but I want to pick the stipulation.
Nick Aldis: I can live with that, okay.
Drew McIntyre: Last, but my no means least, I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut after we finish here. I want you to get your little lawyers together, and I want you to draw up some documents that say Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me before that Championship match or he is stripped of the WWE Championship.
Nick Aldis: You know, I really hate this but get the match in the ring. You got a deal.
Drew McIntyre: Pleasure doing business with you, buddy. Come on mate, how quick can I see those documents? How quick is it gonna take to draw them up?
Nick Aldis: Well, I have to tell Cody and then I have to talk to legal, but maybe by the end of the day.
Drew McIntyre: End of the day, fantastic. Fantastic.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Nick Aldis. Nick says that things between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre have gotten way out of control. Nick can’t do anything to Cody, because the altercation didn’t take place at a WWE Live Event. Cody will now have to deal with the local authorities. AVA is pissed about what happened at Saturday Night’s Main Event with Drew McIntyre stealing the spotlight from Oba Femi. While there’s no love lost between him and McIntyre, he tells it like it is, and he’ll have to do the same with Cody Rhodes later on tonight. Apparently Drew McIntyre sent some comments. The Miz joins the conversation. You want to know why people were shocked at Saturday Night’s Main Event? It’s because, he who shall not be named ruined it. He wouldn’t mind getting his hands on Carmelo Hayes. Miz tells Nick that he wants a match with Joe Hendry next week. Nick likes the sound of that, he’ll give AVA a phone call, or he can just say his name. R-Truth appears behind Miz. Truth says that he believes in Joe Pesci. Miz storms out of the office.

Cody Rhodes & Nick Aldis Segment
Cody Rhodes: Hershey, PA! What do you want to talk about? Okay, did I go to Drew McIntyre’s home? Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water? Did things get physical? Yes. But Drew McIntyre has stated that WWE currently is an unsafe working environment. That’s all of you, he said that, we, collectively are an unsafe working environment. So, Drew, you’re surrounded by MMA stars, second-generation wrestlers, NIL, College and Pro Athletes. What would be a safe environment for you? Staples? And besides, that little yard brawl was one tenth of what should happen, right here, right now, with me and Drew McIntyre in this very ring.
Nick Aldis: Cody, I don’t think you appreciate the situation you’ve gotten yourself into or me or the company, actually. See, Drew is claiming an unsafe work environment, and you and I know that’s a load of crap, but the problem is, is when you show up to his house and started a brawl, you made his point for him. And to make things worse, I had to make a bad deal, because you made me look like a liar. So, I’m telling you this as your friend, yes, you’re the champ, QB1, but you’re not above the law, and I can’t help you with that one. Cody, you should’ve trusted me to get this thing over the finish line, but you didn’t. So now, when Drew comes back, if he pays that fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler, Cody, you can’t lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
Cody Rhodes: Nick or what?
Nick Aldis: Or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
Cody Rhodes: You want me to aqueous to that demand and your demand. Okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre. But, in the spirit of all these demands, I should ask you something. I feel like, Nick, I feel like you’ve forgotten who you’re talking to, right? Ask our mutual friend, Wade Barrett, right there, who you’re talking to. Ask Marty on the camera who you’re talking to. You should say my name, because you know it. I’m the one that sent the tweet that changed the game. I’m the one who came back in here and won the Royal Rumble, not once, but twice. I am the reigning King Of The Ring. I unseated “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns. And I even defeated the greatest of all-time, John Cena for this title. I’m QB1, damnit. And here you are saying, that I’m not above the law. As long as I have this title, I am the law. Mr. Aldis, my friend, your demand, his demand, remember one thing, while I’m holding this, I don’t work for you, I work for them. And you, my friend, you work for me.

– Jackie Redmond had a backstage interview with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Why did they attack Nia Jax and Lash Legend, and what message are they trying to send?
