In a night filled with high-octane action and unexpected twists, the SmackDown ring sizzled on September 29, 2023. Fans were treated to a series of electrifying clashes that left them on the edge of their seats.  The evening kicked off with Paul Heyman and The Bloodline basking in the glory of their brutal assaults on John Cena and AJ Styles. However, retribution was swift, as Karl Anderson from The O.C. stormed the scene, attacking Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.

Karl Anderson found himself facing Jimmy Uso in a hard-hitting matchup. In a surprising turn, Solo Sikoa's distraction played a crucial role, allowing Jimmy Uso to secure victory over Anderson. But the fight didn't end there. Post-match, Solo Sikoa delivered a devastating Samoan Spike to the defeated Anderson. As The Bloodline made their exit, a shocking twist unfolded as Michin entered the fray, delivering a stinging slap to Jimmy Uso, leaving fans stunned.

Having issued a challenge the previous week, Bobby Lashley returned to SmackDown, calling out Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford of The Street Profits. The challenge was clear: prove themselves during Lashley's "The Grayson Waller Effect" segment.

In a thrilling contest, Austin Theory clashed with Cameron Grimes. Theory emerged victorious, capitalizing on a distraction orchestrated by Grayson Waller. He sealed the deal with an A-Town Down finisher. But the drama didn't stop there, as Theory engaged in a post-match confrontation with the watchful NXT competitor, Dragon Lee.

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, aiming to impress Bobby Lashley, joined forces with The All Mighty in a post-match assault. Their target? Rey Mysterio and his fellow LWO members, including Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro.

The night saw an explosive matchup between Charlotte Flair and Bayley, with Flair emerging victorious after a devastating Spear. However, tension filled the air as Bayley hinted at a Damage CTRL beatdown. Before the nefarious faction could strike, Asuka stormed the ring. Bayley proposed a Triple Threat Match, pitting The Queen and The Empress of Tomorrow against WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY at WWE Fastlane.

In a surprising turn of events, LA Knight came to John Cena's aid as he faced a 2-on-1 attack from Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
