– Bianca Belair showed a KOD next to the ring
After the match, Lynch offers her opponent a handshake, which Belair accepts. After Lynch left the ring and Belair continued to celebrate her victory, a familiar music suddenly played. Bayley is back after her injury break! Another theme sounds halfway to the ring. Dakota Kai is now back in WWE as well, joining Bayley. There will be another surprise, Bayley promises. The last addition of this grouping is Io Shirai. The three women now go to the ring towards Bianca Belair and stare down. Becky Lynch comes to Belair’s aid, driving the returnees and debutantes away.

We are now shown a recap of the last edition of SmackDown, specifically the Old Fashioned Donnybrook Street Fight Shillelagh match between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. Out came the winner of that match and new No. 1 contender, Drew McIntyre. He talks about being the next challenger now and pokes fun at the lineup between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. After all, the two meet for the first time today… at least in Nashville. McIntyre doesn’t care who wins the Main Event today because in Cardiff, at Clash at the Castle, he’ll take whoever he gets and secure the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
For the next match, Special Guest Referee Double J – Jeff Jarrett heads to the ring.

As we are shown Kid Rock in the crowd, Riddle suddenly jumps over the barricade and grabs a microphone. He won’t let anyone hold him back, so he tells Seth “Freakin'” Rollins to come out.

Liv Morgan defeated Ronda Rousey via pinfall, countering Rousey’s armbar into a roll up.

After a hiatus, we are now presented with WWE Hall of Famer Kane. He announces the official WWE viewership figure of 48,449 and welcomes the Nashville crowd. Finally, as is customary for him, he lets the corners of the ring burn before this segment ends.
Before the match, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns grabs a mic: “Nashville… ACKNOWLEDGE ME!”. As Lesnar now also goes to the ring, he turns around halfway and gets into a red excavator, with which he drives to the ring. When the announcer announces the opponents, he is interrupted by Lesnar. He wants to introduce himself as the “Big Old Country Boy” and promises to be the “Last Man Standing” today.
