<p>After Santos, Rey Mysterio, and Montez Ford all ended up on the outside, Bobby Lashley interfered when the referee wasn&#8217;t looking and planted Mysterio with a slam on the apron.

<p>Charlotte Flair made her way to ringside to help even the numbers since Iyo Sky brought out Damage CTRL. The match was even throughout with the two women securing near falls and cancelling each other out several times. </p>



<p>Asuka locked in the Asuka Lock and Sky was forced to push herself towards the rope, where Bayley was able to help. Flair knocked Bayley down on the outside, which then caused the distraction and allowed Sky to hit the knees to the back of the neck followed by the Over the Moonsault to retain. </p>

<p>Cena ran to the back to help Styles get the medical care that he needed following the assault. Styles was then put in the back of an ambulance before Karl Anderson told Cena that this is why he told him not to get involved with The Bloodline. </p>



<p>Back in the ring, Paul Heyman had the contract and claimed Cena&#8217;s partner hadn&#8217;t signed which led to Jimmy Uso insulting Cena, bringing him back out to the ring. </p>



<p>Cena tried to fight the two men and had control of the brawl until the numbers game took over and Solo Sikoa hit the Samoan Spike before Uso landed two Splashes. The Bloodline stood tall over Cena as SmackDown went off the air. </p>
