Tonight, we celebrate darkness, despair and decay. Tonight, we honor the depravity of life, and of those that are willing to travel the path less taken. In a battle months in the making, Finn Balor embraces his dark side, as he looks to harness the power of his Demon to dethrone the unstoppable force that is Braun Strowman. Alexa Bliss must face a monster from her past, and in our main event, John Cena defends his spot atop SmackDown Live against the disturbed and motivated Bray Wyatt.

Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Rusev- 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the United States Championship
Shinsuke Nakamura opened this match with his impressive arsenal of strikes, kicking and elbowing the former champion. Rusev responded with power, including a uranage and a release side slam. Nakamura looked several times for a move off the top rope, but Rusev continued to thwart the champion, eventually getting a near fall with the Machka Kick. The Bulgarian Brute began to work toward the Accolade, but Shinsuke slipped out of the way, delivering his reverse exploder suplex. Off the top rope, diving knee to the face! And then the Kinshasa, which scored the first fall. After the rest period, Nakamura lost the advantage, Rusev raking the eyes. A second Machka Kick, Accolade applied! Shinsuke was one step ahead, quickly fighting to the ropes. An incensed Rusev tried to follow up, but was dumped to the floor. Nakamura followed, slamming Rusev face first off the steel steps. Back into the ring, and then a middle rope Kinshasa! The challenger was down and out, but Nakamura wanted to make sure. Backing up, a third Kinshasa! A decisive victory, winning two falls to none, and the champion proved that No Mercy was no fluke.
Winner and still United States Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens(c) vs The Titanic Alliance- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The newly named Titantic Alliance of Big Cass and Big Show gave the champions all they could handle in this title match. Early on, they focused all of their offense on Sami Zayn, wearing the smaller man down. The heart of Zayn is unquestioned, and neither a spear from Show nor a big boot from Cass could keep him down. Cass looked for the East River Crossing, but Sami fired up, making the tag to Kevin Owens. The champions worked perfectly in tandem, taking down their challengers with dual suicide dives. Zayn was tagged back in, and piked Cass with a Brainbuster, Owens following up with a frog splash for an impressive title defense.
Winners and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
Kenny Omega(c) vs Baron Corbin- Intercontinental Championship Match
Kenny Omega was essentially fighting two men here tonight, as Randy Orton did his best to hand Baron Corbin the championship. The Viper's distractions played a key role early, as he helped Corbin stay alive and get a near fall with the Deep Six. Corbin set up for the End of Days, but Omega countered. The Cleaner decided he'd had enough, taking out Orton with a Tope Con Hilo! That left Omega and Corbin in the ring, and eventually a 450 splash and the One Winged Angel put the match away.
Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Kenny Omega
The New Day vs The Revival- #1 Contender's Match for the Raw Tag Team Championships
If anyone was ever going to make a case for The Revival as one of the best teams in the world today, they would use the film from this match. This was elementary, effective tag team wrestling from Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, taking any advantage available and bending the rules when necessary. Big E and Kofi Kingston did give the fans some hope, including a near fall off the Unicorn Stampede, but the ending was always inevitable. It was Kofi that would take the Shatter Machine, and now The Revival look ahead to The Shield at Survivor Series.
Winners: The Revival
