Rhodes looked confused as he realized what had happened. The show ended with Orton looking bloody and not very satisfied with his victory.
Orton was bleeding from his ear as Rhodes rolled him back into the ring. He hit a super Cody Cutter, but there still wasn't a ref to count the pin.
The American Nightmare hit two Cross Rhodes in a row, and then he seemed to rethink his strategy. He looked down at a bloody Viper with a smile and lined up for the Punt Kick.
Orton begged for mercy, which caused Cody to stop. He looked conflicted about what to do as a new ref arrived to check on Orton. The Viper hit a low blow to both Rhodes and the referee at the same time.
He grabbed Cody and hit the RKO as the original ref climbed back into the ring to count the pin.
Orton hit the draping DDT and signaled for the RKO as the crowd gave him a combination of cheers and boos. Cody countered the RKO and hit Cross Rhodes, but it only got him a two-count.
Rhodes ended up colliding with the official, so when Orton hit the RKO, there was nobody to make the count. The Legend Killer got that look in his eye and backed up for the Punt Kick.
Rhodes avoided the kick and hit Cross Rhodes. Randy rolled out of the ring, so Cody hit a suicide dive that ended up taking out the referee again because he was behind Orton when he got hit.
The American Nightmare slammed Orton's head into the ring post several times and yelled at him as he hit him repeatedly with punches. He picked up the steel steps and hit The Viper in the face with them.
As soon as the bell rang, Rhodes hit a Cody Cutter and then put Orton in a Figure Four, but The Viper made it to the bottom rope to force a break. Orton took control and choked Cody against the middle rope. He slowed things down and started taking The American Nightmare apart piece by piece.
Rhodes began to mount some offense and sent Orton over the top rope, but when he tried to follow, Randy poked him in the eye. Every time Cody tried to take control, Orton seemed to have a counter for him.
Brandi ended up throwing a drink in Orton's face before Cody started fighting back. He hit a snap powerslam, followed by the Disaster Kick. He hit the Dusty Bionic Elbow, but The Viper countered Cross Rhodes.
Rhodes was out first for the main event. He wore a black skull mask with red wings for his entrance. When it was time for Orton's entrance, he tried to sneak attack Cody from behind, but he got caught.
Rhodes went out of the ring and started beating on him. He sent Randy over the barricade into the crowd. The match hadn't even started yet, but they were fighting all over the arena.
They continued to brawl throughout the crowd as fans chanted Orton's name. The Viper taunted Brandi Rhodes in the front row before they finally got into the ring so the match could officially get started.
Joe Tessitore and The Miz were serving as hosts between segments. They talked about the return of Bronson Reed and how many Tsunamis he hit on Femi.
All that is left on the card is Rhodes vs. Orton in a grudge match.
Jade and the Baddies vs. Flair, Bliss and Paxley Part 2
The Baddies kept Bliss away from her corner for a long time while double and triple-teaming her. Bliss hit a strange move that sent B-Fab into the corner and allowed her to make the hot tag to Charlotte.
The Queen unloaded on Michin with chops and hit a nice release German suplex. Flair maintained the upper hand, but Cargill made a blind tag and took her out with a kick to the face.
She lifted Charlotte onto her shoulders for a spinning Sandstorm, but Tatum broke it up at the last moment. Flair put Michin and Jade next to each other so she could hit a moonsault on both at the same time, but it only got her a two-count.
B-Fab dispatched Bliss by sending her into the steps. Cargill was able to get the win by pinning Flair with Jaded after her and Paxley's heads collided.
Jade and The Baddies vs. Flair, Bliss and Paxley Part 1
T-Pain was shown sitting in the crowd before we went backstage to see Heyman getting angry while talking to someone on the phone. Back in the arena, The Queen made her entrance for the six-woman tag match. Kelly Kelly's titantron was shown for a moment during Paxley's entrance.
Tatum and B-Fab started with a basic lockup. B-Fab talked some trash, but it didn't faze the former NXT champion. She unloaded on B-Fab and hit a rolling kick to the back of the head for a two-count.
She was able to fight off Michin, too, but Cargill attacked her at ringside to give her team the upper hand. The Baddies isolated Paxley for a moment, but she eventually tagged Bliss in to take over.
She almost hit Sister Abigail, but Michin saved B-Fab and allowed her to take control again.
Up next, Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin will take on Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley.
Breakker had to resort to raking the eyes to escape Femi's grasp, but when he tried to run around the ring for a Spear, Femi laid him out. Austin Theory showed up and got slammed through the announce table, but the distraction allowed Bron to hit the Spear.
He rolled Oba back in the ring and hit a second Spear, but it still wasn't enough to keep him down. Logan Paul showed up and the ref immediately ejected him, but it was just to distract the ref so Maxxine could sneak the brass knuckles to Bron.
As Femi was about to win, Bronson Reed made his return and attacked him with a steel chair.
Reed looked like he has dropped a lot of weight and is in the best shape of his career. He helped Breakker to his feet so he could hit another Spear to a defenseless Femi.
Reed hit the Tsunami a few times as officials tried to call him off.
Breakker began to build up a head of steam as he leapt from the apron and sent Femi over the announce table with a clothesline. When they brought the fight back into the ring, Bron hit a gutbuster for a two-count.
He started looking more confident and talked a lot of trash. Femi tried to fire back, but Breakker sent him out of the ring and drove his spine into the apron.
Oba broke out of a sleeper and started to fight back with big right hands. They traded shots until The Ruler started hitting clotheslines and uppercuts. He hit a chokeslam, but Breakker kicked out at two.
Paul Heyman was in the ring to give us an intro before the match. Once again, he hyped whoever wins as the future of WWE. He gave each Superstar an introduction in his signature style.
The bell rang and neither man moved. They stood there staring at each other for a moment before locking up. They fought for control, with Femi pushing Breakker to the corner to show off his power. Bron pushed him before locking up again. He pushed Oba to the opposite corner and began barking at him.
Breakker tried a shoulder tackle, but Femi didn't go down. When Bron tried to get a bigger running start, he ended up running into a brick wall and Femi sent him down to the mat.
Oba followed him out of the ring and dropped him onto the apron, but Breakker was able to send him into the ring post. He tried to run at Femi on the apron, and Femi hit him in the chest so hard that it echoed in the arena.
After Williams regained the U.S. title from Corbin, we went to the most anticipated match of the night between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker. It was shocking that this did not end up as the main event. It had the best build.
Corbin slowed the pace down and tossed Williams into the steel steps a couple of times. Trick tried to fight back, but one big clothesline put him right back down.
They ended up colliding with clotheslines at the same time to take each other out. Both men started taking shots at each other as they got back to their feet. Trick hit the Book End as he started to fire himself up, but he missed the Trick Shot and got hit with Deep Six, giving Corbin a near-fall.
He tried to bring the title into the ring, but Yachty held onto it. The distraction allowed Williams to hit a big spinning kick, but he only got a two-count.
Corbin used the belt behind the ref's back, but Trick managed to kick out at two. The Nomad went for his finisher, but Williams hit the Trick Shot for the pin and the win to regain his United States Championship.
WINNER: TRICK WILLIAMS WINS THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
As soon as Williams hit the ring, the ref called for the bell and he started taking it to the champion. He clotheslined Corbin out of the ring and slammed his head into the announce table a few times.
The champ sent Trick into the ring post and threw Yachty into the timekeeper's area. Trick Willy started to build some momentum when they got back into the ring. He hit a few of his signature moves as the crowd chanted for him.
He stomped The Nomad in the corner and hit a fireman's carry slam for a two-count. Corbin knocked him off the apron and into the announce table to regain control.
Yachty shocked the crowd by hitting a hurricanrana from the middle rope and a crossbody from the top rope, but it wasn't enough to get the pin.
Corbin hit the End of Days, but he saw he had 90 seconds left, so he decided to inflict more damage instead of going for the pin. He hit a second EOD with a minute left.
The Nomad brought a table into the ring and set it up with 30 seconds left on the clock. He put the musician on the top turnbuckle for a superplex, but Yachty countered and the clock ran out.
WINNER: LIL YACHTY SURVIVED FIVE MINUTES
And angry Corbin grabbed Yachty and chokeslammed him through the table as the announcer revealed Williams would get his title shot right now.
The stipulation for this match stated if Yachty could survive five minutes against Baron Corbin, then Trick Williams would earn a U.S. title shot. Corbin came out on a pretty nice motorcycle for his entrance.
Corbin grabbed a mic and gave Yachty one more chance to back out, but the rapper took a cheap shot and almost got the pin right away to kickstart the match. The Nomad chased him until he caught him and started throwing Yachty into the barricade.
Corbin took out a few members of Yachty's crew before the rapper found his kendo stick under the ring and started using it against him. At the halfway mark, Corbin wiped him out with a clothesline.
SNME opened with Quavo performing on the stage. When he was done, Lil Yachty and Trick Williams were shown preparing for their entrance backstage. Yachty had a whole entourage with him.
