Later Rhodes, sporting a significant black eye, stood in the ring awaiting Cena's explanation for his actions. Emotionally charged, he challenged Cena to confront him. But to no avail.

In a notable title match, Chelsea Green dressed in homage to Cactus Jack, faced off against Michin for the United States Championship in an intense Street Fight. The confrontation was fierce from the start, with Michin arriving armed with a trash can full of weapons.

The battle saw Green take a fire extinguisher blast to the face, setting the stage for high-stakes maneuvers, including Michin's attempt to put Green through a table with a senton. However, the match took a turn when Alba Fyre interfered, attacking Michin and securing Green's victory, a decision that stirred mixed reactions among fans.

Continued Rivalries and High Stakes Matches

Braun Strowman's feud with the Bloodline saw him go head-to-head with Solo Sikoa. Despite Strowman's early dominance, Sikoa's tactic of using the steel steps shifted the momentum.

The match, filled with power moves and unexpected agility from both competitors, unfortunately ended in disqualification due to Tama Tonga's interference, leading to a confrontation between Strowman and Jacob Fatu.

Meanwhile, the SmackDown tag team division showcased its depth with a triple threat tag match featuring Pretty Deadly, Motor City Machine Guns, and Los Garzas as three teams battled to earn the right to challenge the champions.

The match was a fast-paced brawl from the start, culminating in Pretty Deadly securing a surprising victory to become the No. 1 contenders for the tag titles. This win emphasized the division's competitiveness and the excitement surrounding tag team matches.

Emotional Confrontations and Revelations

The episode also delved into personal conflicts, with Bianca Belair addressing Jade Cargill's attack on Naomi following her Chamber victory. Naomi's emotional confession, stating she attacked Cargill for Belair, mirrored Rikishi's historic rationale for his actions. The segment, full of drama and intensity, was further escalated by Cargill's retaliation against Naomi in the ring.

Tiffany Stratton returned to action in a non-title match against Piper Niven. Without Chelsea Green at ringside, the match was an even playing field. Stratton showcased her resilience, eventually securing a victory with a moonsault. However, her celebration was cut short by Charlotte Flair's surprise attack, setting the stage for future confrontations.

In a less prominent yet impactful match, McIntyre faced Jimmy Uso. Despite the match's brevity and a portion occurring during a commercial break, McIntyre's victory, followed by Priest's retaliatory attack, added depth to their ongoing storyline.

The main event featured Shinsuke Nakamura defending the United States Championship against LA Knight. The match was a back-and-forth affair, with Nakamura displaying his signature style. Despite a referee mishap, Knight managed to reclaim the title with a BFT, ending the show on an unexpected note in Philly.
