WWE: Then. Now. Forever. Together.

We open with the tail end of the ongoing emergency involving a WWE Superstar. It’s all a bit confusing until the conversation reveals that Jey Uso was attacked, with Jacob Fatu riding with him to leave as we cut to ringside.

Drew McIntyre says “four letter, one word…uh uh…DREW” before claiming his innocence as he walks down toward ringside. He continues talking smack as he enters the ring, but is quickly interrupted by Nick Aldis. The GM of SmackDown tells the champ to leave, because he’s got 20 guys ready to go after McIntyre…and he’s about to let them.

Drew talks about scouting competition as six–he means five–men are gunning for a shot at his title. One such man makes a beeline for the ring as Cody Rhodes rushes down the ramp, but Drew makes a break for it as he escapes through the crowd. Cody runs Drew down saying he’s spent his whole title reign running like a little b—h. He talks about winning the Chamber match tomorrow, but is cut off by the arrival of Randy Orton.

Orton has his own thoughts on who is going to win the match tomorrow as he heads to the ring, but HE is the one cut off as Trick Williams makes his entrance. “Whoop that Trick” chants as the former TNA World Champion talks about being the hottest thing in the business today, ya feel me? He references Bruno Mars and how he wants to “cha cha to the Chamber,” let’s talk about it.

Since we’re in the KFC Center, he wants to add something to the menu. He seems to be referring to his shoes, but Je’Von Evans makes his way out as he wants to talk crazy. Namely, he wants to win the Elimination Chamber and become the youngest world champion so he can beat Randy Orton’s record.

LA Knight makes his entrance next, rounding out the five men not on their way to a local medical facility as Knight gets into the ring. He runs down the rest of the field before saying they all belong to the man they call the Superstar…and that means the title is coming to him, with everybody saying–“Whoop that Trick” says Williams.

Knight asks if he just said “whoop that Trick,” to which Williams says “yeah”…and Knight says okay before, well, whooping that Trick out the ring and up the ramp. Orton sees an opening and takes Evans out with an RKO before staring down Cody.

We head backstage to hear from Tiffany Stratton ahead of Elimination Chamber, but she is cut off by the Kabuki Warriors. Asuka says Tiffy Time is over, and no one is ready for Asuka. Tiffany claims she is, but Asuka eventually relents and backs off. Kairi Sane stares Stratton down before being called away by the Empress of Tomorrow.

We head to Superstar Arrivals for the night while commentary runs down the lineup for tonight’s show, including a focus on Oba Femi taking on The Miz.

Back at ringside, Solo Sikoa makes his entrance holding onto the Wyatt Sicks lantern as he heads to the ring for our opening match. He takes on Uncle Howdy up next, and we get a tease of the Wyatt Sicks to take us to commercial break.

-Commercial Break-

Back at ringside, we get a look back at last week and the message Uncle Howdy delivered to the MFT ahead of tonight’s match. The lights cut out sans fireflies for the entrance of Uncle Howdy, who makes good on his promise to come alone. He heads down the ramp and enters the ring to get this match underway!

Solo Sikoa vs. Uncle Howdy

The pair stare each other down, the animosity brewing as Sikoa points to the lantern while mocking Howdy. They lock up, and Solo gets sent into the corner before the ref intervenes for a break. Solo goes back on the attack but is seemingly nervous after a taunt from Howdy. They lock up again and Sikoa gets a side headlock, but Howdy sends him into the ropes. Shoulder tackle proves unsuccessful before they trade strikes, and Howdy sets Sikoa up for Sister Abigail…but Solo breaks free, leaving the ring for a breather. Howdy follows and takes a strike from Sikoa, but he dodges a spike to slam Solo’s arm against the ring post before sending him into the timekeeper area.

Howdy stares at the lantern for a moment, focused on it before turning his attention back to Sikoa. He continues the attack before bringing Solo back into the ring…and Sikoa responds in kind with some strikes before sending him out of the ring to take us to picture-in-picture!

Picture-in-Picture: Sikoa continues to lay into Uncle Howdy before taunting him by grabbing the lantern from where it was placed. He decides not to go any further, setting it back down as Howdy gets back in the ring. Sikoa slides into the ring himself, cutting off any momentum Howdy looks to gain before laying in some headbutts. He locks in a nerve hold on Howdy, who is struggling to break free as he finally gets to his feet…and manages to break the hold! Except that Solo quickly locks it back in, keeping Howdy grounded. Howdy fights back to his feet for a jawbreaker, but Sikoa locks the hold back in as we come back from break…

…where Howdy gets taken to the mat with a Samoan drop allowing for a nearfall. Sikoa looks to take Howdy back to Nerve Hold City, but Howdy takes a detour as he fights back to his feet to send Sikoa to the corner. He backs off for speed but runs into a spinning Solo Slam, and Sikoa follows with a splash from the top for a close two count.

Solo brings Howdy back up as he looks for a Sister Abigail…but Howdy counters with a Mandible Claw! It doesn’t last long as Solo counters with a spike, forcing Howdy to the corner for a couple hip attacks. On the third attempt, Howdy jumps up and lands a Sister Abigail to take Sikoa down for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Uncle Howdy

Howdy leaves the ring to retrieve his lantern, but is blindsided by the MFT who quickly take it back as they escape through the crowd.

Backstage, Drew McIntyre is escorted out to the parking lot as he is told to stay home tomorrow and stay out of trouble. Nick Aldis is then confronted by The Vision, who try to get Logan Paul into the men’s Elimination Chamber match tomorrow. Paul talks about how much he can easily win that match and become the champion, and Aldis eventually relents enough to consider it…citing “politics” at play as he walks off.

Heyman confirms with Logan that he knows he can win the Chamber match, and the Maverick walks off before Paul tells Theory to keep his attitude in check before we go to break.

-Commercial Break-

Speaking of, we hear from the champs backstage as Rhea addresses having this match tonight before going into the women’s Elimination Chamber tomorrow. Ripley assures us that she is focused on both tasks, with Iyo cheering Rhea on for tomorrow.

This is interrupted by Jade Cargill, who tells Rhea she needs to focus on tomorrow and hopes she doesn’t get hurt tonight.

Elsewhere, Nick Aldis gets an update on Jey Uso by way of Jacob Fatu, who then asserts his claim to be considered for the Chamber match tomorrow. Nick says he’ll keep that in mind as we head back to ringside for our next match.

Tiffany Stratton makes her entrance first, and we get confirmation that she is facing Asuka up next ahead of both women entering the Elimination Chamber tomorrow.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Kairi Sane

Tiffy quickly takes the fight to Kairi, sending her out of the ring before bringing Sane back into the ring.

-Commercial Break-

Back from break, Stratton is back in control until she sends Sane to the corner…where Kairi takes her down to the mat! Tiffy fights back for another Alabama slam but Kairi counters, only to take a boot to the face sending her back to the canvas for a two count.

Sane manages to get back into it, sending Stratton to the floor with a DDT from the apron. She brings the former champ back into the ring, going up top but only taking a two count. She goes up top for a Insane Elbow but is shoved to the outside, leading to a confrontation between Tiffy and Chelsea before Kairi goes for a Meteora off the apron…only to get the drop on Chelsea instead!

Tiffy brings Sane back into the ring for a Prettiest Moonsault Ever and the win.

Winner via pinfall: Tiffany Stratton

We head backstage, where The Vision await an answer from Nick Aldis. He has some news, after conferring with Adam Pearce…and Logan Paul will get an opportunity to compete in the men’s Elimination Chamber match tomorrow. Heyman quickly asks what the catch is, and Aldis reveals that Logan will face Jacob Fatu tonight to see who enters that match.

Logan talks about selling the world’s most expensive Pokemon card, and married the world’s most beautiful supermodel…so he can beat WWE’s most dangerous werewolf.

With that, we head back to ringside as The Miz makes his entrance to face Oba Femi, and that match is up next.

-Commercial Break-

As we get hype packages for tomorrow night you can just about hear Miz cutting a promo, and that is hilarious to me. Anyway, we’re back at ringside as Oba Femi makes his way out to a big pop from the crowd before this match gets underway!

Oba Femi vs. The Miz

“Oba” chants as Miz escapes the ring for the microphone, saying they don’t have to fight…but Oba steals the mic, telling Miz to get one of his own. He obliges, saying this is a classic mis(Miz?)understanding, and as the locker room leader he tries to set things straight.

He talks about being a bright-eyed rookie like Oba, but Miz is interrupted by “Oba” chants. He tells them to stop as he says he didn’t go after the locker room leaders. He wants to guide Femi, he wants to be his Undertaker. Oba responds by saying there’s no passing resemblance, but Miz does look like a dead man to him.

Miz wants to help him out, guide him so that the crowd is forever chanting his name…but Oba points out that he doesn’t need Miz’s help with that. He does a survey of the crowd, who disapprove of him getting under Miz’s wing…and he tells “Mike” that he’s dying tonight.

Miz says they can make this a teaching moment about being the bigger man and walking away…but Femi is having none of that, making quick work of the former WWE Champion before sending him into the corner. Miz dodges a second corner attack, looking for a Skull Crushing Finale…but Oba blocks it, hoisting him up to send him crashing to the mat. He follows up with the Fall From Grace to pick up the win.

Winner via pinfall: Oba Femi

Oba celebrates the win as we cut backstage.

Carmelo Hayes is confused by Ilja Dragunov not dressing to compete, but Dragunov says he hasn’t been doing very well so he doesn’t deserve the shot. He wishes Hayes all the best of luck, and Hayes tells him if he doesn’t take this shot soon someone else will.

Back at ringside, Carmelo Hayes makes his entrance to issue the open challenge for his United States Championship…and that match is up next!

Sportsmanship between the competitors as we cut backstage for a segment advertising ESPN Unlimited while talking about the box that is set to be opened tomorrow night at Elimination Chamber. We see Johnny Gargano being wheeled away on a road case, and this gives Kit Wilson an excuse to call the other men in the segment toxic.

Sami Zayn shows up, and he is less thrilled as he considers the possibility that Fatu was the one who attacked Jey Uso. Jacob tells Sami to be very careful with what he says next, as Zayn addresses his own issues with Drew McIntyre.

Fatu calls Sami out by saying that he wasn’t the one who took a Claymore to lose their shot in the past, so if anyone should be looking out it’s him. Zayn backs off on this point, wishing Fatu luck on the match as Jacob walks away. Zayn is shaken by the whole affair, as we head back to ringside for our next match.
