WWE SmackDown is coming at you live from Allstate Arena from Chicago, Illinois!

• Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky) retained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship over Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox by pinfall due to some interference from Bayley and a mysterious person in a hoodie that attacked Nox from the crowd.
• A video package was aired to hype Imperium and Gunther’s title defense.
• Backstage, Sami Zayn is nervous. Jimmy Uso think Roman Reigns is going to make Zayn a full-blown Uce tonight. Jey Uso is concerned that they might be setting Zayn up for a disappointment, though.
• Footage is shown of what LA Knight tied up, wearing the Uncle Howdy mask with his mouth duct taped. We aren’t sure what happened, but LA Knight is here and looking for a fight. He went to the ring and called out Bray Wyatt, eventually attacking him. But then, Uncle Howdy showed up on the stage, surrounded by smoke and mostly in silhouette. He started laughing, so Knight booked it out of there.
• More results to come.
