WWE SmackDown

CMLL Martes de Arena Mexico (4/23/2024) Results: Místico, Atlantis Jr & Flip Gordon vs Infernales

- Kevin Owens approached Sami Zayn backstage and wondered what would happen if Zayn did something that upset The Bloodline. While Jey Uso secretly listened in the background, he noted that he has had to bail Zayn out plenty of times in the past. Owens told Zayn to strike first, rather than waiting for The Bloodline to turn on him. Jey then confronted Zayn, who lied about his conversation with Owens.

.- Becky Lynch returned and joined Bianca Belair's team for the Women's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series. Team Belair brawled with Team Damage CTRL and stood tall.

- In an interview, Becky Lynch discussed her return. She made it clear that she wants payback because Damage CTRL put her on the shelf. Lynch stated that everyone wants to go to war until "The Man" comes around.

- In the main event, Drew McIntyre and Sheaus beat The Usos to win the WarGames Advantage for Team Brawling Brutes at WWE Survivor Series.

- Butch faced Santos Escobar in a SmackDown World Cup Semifinal. A timely assist from Legado del Fantasma helped Escobar score the win.

- Ricochet took on Braun Strowman in the other SmackDpwn World Cup semifinal. Imperium (Gunter, Giovanni Vinci, and Ludwig Kaiser) distracted Strowman, and Ricochet pinned him for the win. After the match, the trio attacked Strowman, but Ricochet made the save. Strowman fought them off when they gained the upper hand. He then helped Ricochet up and raised his hand.

- Sarah Logan, under the new name of Valhalla, accompanied The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar) to the ring for their match against Hit Row (Top Dolla & Ashante "Thee" Adonis.) Erik and Ivar then defeated the Hit Row duo.

- Bray Wyatt came to the ring. He said he thinks he thinks he has a good grip on who he is. He said he knows people want to see The Fiend and the monster within, and they want to see the "human tornado" destroy himself. Wyatt stated that it's hard to explain the burdens he has had to face. He denied attacking LA Knight last week, but he was interrupted by Uncle Howdy, who said everyone lies. He said "open your eyes" and warned that a snake in a cage is still a snake. Backstage, LA Knight responded and said he didn't believe anything Wyatt said.

- Later in the show, Knight was found backstage, clearly the victim of another attack.

- Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey attacked Shotzi and Raquel Rodriguez backstage ahead of their match. Baszler and Rousey came to the ring, seemingly thinking that they had taken Shotzi out. But Shotzi came to the ring by herself, so she faced the duo on her own. Rousey and Baszler took control, but Rodriguez, favoring her arm, came to the ring. Rousey yanked the powerhouse's injured arm, and Baszler stomped on it. Rousey then trapped Rodriguez in an arm-bar and made her tap out.

- In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Ricochet discussed his win over Braun Strowman and shared his thoughts ahead of the SmackDown World Cup Finals.

- In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Santos Escobar stated that he has a plan to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
