Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn Kicks Things Off
After a recap package showing highlights from WWE Night Of Champions from this past weekend in Saudi Arabia, we settle back inside the arena where new Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn makes his way out to kick things off.
Sami Zayn thanks all the loyal fans for having his back, although it has been funny that he has been booed out of the building. Those fans who boo him now are those who were cheering a few years ago.
He could tell those people to kiss his ass, but he won’t, because he is a good guy. Everyone told him that if he wanted to win the title, he had to be more selfish and do things he didn’t want to do. He did it the right way. People told him he could never win the big one, and he could tell them to kiss his ass, but he won’t, because this is a celebration.
We are celebrating Sami Zayn as the new WWE Champion. He will always be a WrestleMania main eventer, Grand Slam Champion, and WWE Champion. Nobody can take that away. Cody Rhodes enters. He wanted to be the first to join him in the celebration. He congratulates Sami on winning the title.
They shake hands. Before Cody can leave, Sami wants to know why he is really out here… but Jey Uso interrupts them. He also congratulates Sami on the win. But also, he is here for Bloodline business.
This is his warning shot. Jey needs to bring that gold back to the family. Cody Rhodes asks Jey when he reverted to running errands for the Tribal Chief. Sami shoots this down. We aren’t doing this because it is his time. And as far as Jey goes, the title is still in the family. No one is touching this.
He tells them both to stay away from him. Adam Pearce shows up (he is standing in for Aldis) to tell him we need to find a challenger. He books a number one contender’s match between Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, and the winner will face Sami Zayn for the title on next week’s Raw.
– Backstage, there is a little dissension between Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair before Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green chime in. They have a big match tonight with Jade Cargill and The Baddies.
Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green & Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill, B-Fab & Michin
Now we head back inside the arena for our first match of the evening, as a six-woman tag-team tilt gets things officially off and running inside the squared circle.
Jade and Tiffany start us off, they tie up then Jade shoves Tiffany down. Tiffany hits a dropkick then Michin tags in and takes the mid rope hip attack. Michin avoids a cartwheel Alabama Slam then yanks Tiffany down by the hair.
B-Fab tags in and Tiffany takes a double suplex, the crowd with a “we want Chelsea” chant. Tiffany flips out of a back suplex and tags Charlotte who comes in with a crossbody per usual. Charlotte boots Jade then punches down Michin.
Fall away slam from Charlotte to B-Fab then some chops. Charlotte heads to the apron, boots B-Fab then hits a cannonball senton onto Michin but Jade levels her with a clothesline. On that note, the show heads into a mid match break.
When the show returns, we see the action still in progress.
