Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville come out to introduce us to the WWE Draft. Sonya Deville announces that SmackDown’s first pick is Roman Reigns. The second pick representing RAW is Big E. The third pick representing SmackDown is Charlotte Flair. The fourth pick representing RAW is Bianca Belair.
Out comes Roman Reigns. We get a recap of Extreme Rules’ main event. Roman takes the mic and says We The Ones, because Roman is number 1. He asks Baltimore to acknowledge me. Heyman says Baltimore is a bunch of Baltimorons and isn’t surprising that Roman is number 1. The Demon was undefeated, but that Demon went up against an exorcist named Roman Reigns. A shark that surrounds the island of relevancy, Roman only swims forward, and this shark is looking forward to Crown Jewel, which will not be in Suplex City.
Roman Reigns will remain Universal Champion and he will smash Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel. Out comes Brock Lesnar and he gets in Roman’s face.
The two brawl before Lesnar suplexes Roman twice. The Usos come out and get suplexes themselves. Roman escapes and Lesnar dares him to come in the ring. Roman thinks about it and he says no. LeNar takes Jimmy and gives him the F-5. He looks at Jey and Roman tells him not touch him. Lesnar gives him the F-5 too. Roman leaves.
Charlotte Flair is asked about being drafted 3rd. Flair says Kayla needs to learn her manners and that she should be praised for being the first woman draft pick and that FOX knows a great queen when they see one.
Happy Corbin vs. Kevin Owens
Corbin wins with End of Days after a distraction from Moss.
Winner: Happy Corbin
Recap of Lynch/Belair at Extreme Rules.
It’s time for the next round of picks. The first pick in the second round, heading to SmackDown, Drew McIntyre. The next pick, heading to RAW, is RK-Bro. The next pick for SmackDown is New Day. The final pick for the second round to RAW is Edge.
Kayla is backstage with new SmackDown Superstar Drew McIntyre. He talks about being proud of his RAW accomplishments, and how he’s thinking about the past and the future. Drew recalls of being The Chosen One on SmackDown before and says it didn’t work out, and he’s always felt like he had unfinished business here. Drew then mentions the future and points his sword, announcing that he wants the Universal Title.
Post break we get a quick recap of Rollins Stomping Edge a few weeks back to win their match. Then a recap of Rollins demanding Edge show up tonight and admit that Rollins is better in every way. Edge has a mic, he thanks the fans for the pop when he came out. That’s why this is the best job in the world. It occurs to Edge he’s the only current talent who was on the very first episode of Smackdown and he’s always felt Smackdown was his home, but he’s excited to move to RAW and tackle that challenge. That brings him to Rollins, and how Rollins has been challenging him every week since then because Rollins knows Edge isn’t cleared yet. Edge appreciates the gamesmanship though, because Edge has show up and answer the challenge. He’s on his way to 100%, and tells Rollins to come out here and extract the words about superiority from him. Video from Rollins, he’s impressed Edge actually showed up in the center of the ring. But Edge wont say what Rollins needs him to say, he wont retire or tell everyone that Rollins isn’t Edge-lite. But most importantly Rollins doesn’t trust Edge, calls him a liar, and Rollins is honest. So while Edge showed up at Smackdown, Rollins went to Edge’s home. That leads to Edge sprinting out of the ring as Rollins starts knocking on the door. Oh, the door’s unlocked, how convenient. Rollins calls for Beth Phoenix as he moves into the house, questioning Edge’s security. He wanders through the kitchen, leaves the fridge door open like a total douchebag, and sits down to snack at the table. Some artwork done by Edge’s kids catches his eye, and he insults it.
He finally gets around to closing the fridge door, and the front door as well. More meandering, like most of Rollins’ promos. He sees a family picture over a fireplace, and is grateful the kids favor their mother. Rollins could just stay here all night, he’s that comfortable. Edge is on the phone, telling his wife and kids to head to her brothers not go home.
Round 3 of the Draft is up. The first pick of the 3rd round is Happy Cornbin and Madcap Ross to SmackDown. RAW selects Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. SmackDown selects Hit Row from NXT. The final pick of the third round is Keith Bearcat Lee to RAW.

The first pick in the fourth round of the draft is Naomi heading to SmackDown. RAW selects Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. SmackDown selects Jeff Hardy. The final pick for tonight is RAW going with Austin Theory.
Jeff Hardy is backstage and is about to be interviewed before Brock Lesnar shows up. Hardy backs off and Lesnar takes the mic. Lesnar says he has a public announcement. He wants to thank Paul Heyman, because now Brock is a free agent and Brock gets to do whatever he wants.
The Bloodline is backstage. Roman asks Heyman if he’s good friends with Brock. He asks if he and Paul are good friends. If they’re good friends, that means Paul looks out for him and his family. Roman asks Paul if The Usos were drafted to SmackDown. Heyman stutters and says there’s strategy and manipulation involved. Heyman tells Roman he is the wise man. Roman laughs and then he yells at him by saying he’s the wise man when he tells him to. Roman says he’s wise, and to follow the strategy and stick to the plan. He orders Heyman to go RAW and make sure The Usos are on SmackDown. Heyman understands. Heyman leaves. Roman tells The Usos to go with him and to make it clear they will be on SmackDown. If they’re not, leave him for dead on RAW.
Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair
Bianca and Becky get tangled up and Becky holds onto Bianca’s ponytail from behind. Sasha gets a jackknife cover from behind for the win.
Winner: Charlotte Flair
After the match, Flair gets a big boot on both Sasha and Bianca as she poses with the title in the ring. Becky poses with the title on the announce table and they stare at each other as RAW goes off the air.
