WWE SmackDown, broadcast from the O2 Arena in London, England, delivered several significant developments, including a major shakeup within The Bloodline and multiple title-related confrontations ahead of Night of Champions.
The show opened with United States Champion Trick Williams and rapper Lil Yachty celebrating Williams' recent marriage. The celebration was cut short when Ricky Saints interrupted, striking Lil Yachty before delivering a cheap shot to Trick Williams. This incident has set the stage for a United States Championship match between Trick Williams and Ricky Saints at Night of Champions.
Later in the night, a women's tag team match saw B-Fab and Michin defeat Tiffany Stratton and Alexa Bliss. The contest was impacted by outside interference when Jade Cargill interfered, tripping Stratton as she attempted the Prettiest Moonsault Ever. Following the match, Chelsea Green emerged with a kendo stick, clearing the ring.
The Bloodline Sees a Divide
Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga confronted Solo Sikoa. They told Solo Sikoa that his obsession with Roman Reigns was tearing the group apart, and they had word from 'the elders' that they were leaving.

Championship Contests and Challenges
Rey Fenix defeated Nathan Frazer in an excellent lucha libre exhibition on SmackDown to retain the AAA Cruiserweight Championship. Fenix hit the Mexican Muscle Buster for the victory, then helped Frazer up and embraced him afterward.
After the match, Damian Priest and R-Truth were interviewed about defending their WWE Tag Team Championships when AAA Tag Team Champions Erik and Ivar of The War Raiders interrupted to challenge them to a title versus title match.
