The Usos battle Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed in a Tornado Match
Tonight, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso battle Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a Tornado Match. Last week, Jey was noticeably off his game. Not only did he seem distracted around his brother, but he also refused to help LA Knight after The Vision interrupted their match. Will Jey be ready when he and his brother once again engage Reed and Breakker in a wild brawl?
:raw:
– Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video of Asuka and Kairi Sane's betrayal of IYO SKY last week.
– Rhea Ripley then makes her way to the ring.
Ripley wastes no time in addressing Asuka and Sane, then says she always knew it would come to this but she thought they may be able to settle in the ring. She says what they did to SKY last week crossed the line, then recalls Asuka and Sane calling SKY family and says they're going to settle things in the ring tonight. She tells Asuka and Sane to come and get her.
SKY's music hits and she makes her way to the ring. She tells Ripley that it breaks her heart to admit Ripley was right about Asuka and Sane. SKY tells Ripley that she still loves them, but the lights go out and Asuka and Sane appear on the Titan Tron.
Asuka says she taught SKY everything she knows and mentored her, then says SKY is acting like none of what Asuka did actually matters. She says she made SKY who she is and became a Women's World Champion because of her, but SKY tried to forget about her. She demands that SKY apologize to her and be more like Sane, then says Sane and SKY could both be her students again.
Sane says that she, Asuka, and SKY could be a family again, and Asuka adds that it's too late for Ripley. Ripley tells SKY that she has to trust her, then says she can't go back to Asuka and Sane. SKY tells Ripley she's sorry and says she needs time, then heads to the back.
Asuka and Sane blindside Ripley from behind and beat her down, capturing SKY's attention. SKY runs back to the ring and pulls Asuka off of Ripley, and Sane begs SKY not to do this. Asuka sprays her mist into SKY's eyes, causing Ripley to trip Asuka and fire off right hands on her. Sane goes after Ripley, but Ripley catches her with a headbutt and sets up for Rip Tide. Asuka comes to Sane's aid, and the pair send Ripley crashing into opposite corners shoulder first. Sane and Asuka then deliver spinning back fists to Ripley before Asuka cinches in the Asuka Lock on Ripley and Sane connects with an In-Sane Elbow on Ripley as Asuka still has her held in the lock.
– Rusev makes his way to the ring. Judgment Day follows.

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Rusev
The bell rings and Rusev delivers a pair of suplexes to Dominik. Dominik looks to fly over the top rope and out of the ring, but Rusev catches him and delivers a Fallaway Drop to him over the announce desk. He stares down the Intercontinental Championship belt, then dumps Dominik back in the ring and goes for a pin. Dominik kicks out.
Rusev lands a knee on Dominik's midsection during the commercial break, then lands an elbow on him and wears him down with a submission hold. Back from the break, Dominik lands a kick on Rusev's head and follows it up with a jawbreaker.
Dominik connects with a hurricanrana on Rusev and follows it up with a splash to him in the corner, then dials it up for a 619 on him and dropkicks him into the opposite rope before dialling it up for another 619. Dominik then looks to fly off the top rope, but Rusev sees him coming and sets up for The Accolade. Dominik manages to escape Rusev's grasp, then grabs his Intercontinental Championship and looks to head to the back.
Rusev intimidates Dominik back into the ring, where Dominik hits Rusev with his Intercontinental Championship across his spine and subsequently pretends that Rusev hit him with his Intercontinental Championship. While both the referee and Rusev appear confused, Dominik takes advantage and rolls up Rusev for the win.
Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Dominik Mysterio

– Jimmy and Jey Uso are backstage preparing for their match. Jimmy asks Jey why he didn't help them last week. Jey tells Jimmy that he didn't help Jimmy and LA Knight because Knight is the reason they've been losing matches. Jey tells Jimmy he told Jimmy that they shouldn't be helping LA Knight.

– Akira Tozawa and Maxxine Dupri walk backstage and Tozawa tells Dupri he's proud of that. Becky Lynch comes by and tells Dupri that she's useless and is 5'9 inches of disappointment. Dupri tells Lynch that AJ Lee is better than her and Lynch smacks Tozawa for laughing at the comment. Dupri gets in Lynch's face for attacking Tozawa and then Lynch beats up Dupri and walks to Seth Rollins. Rollins asks Lynch if she feels better and she says a little. Rollins heads to the ring and Lynch asks if he wants her to come with him and he says he needs to do this on his own.
– We come back from a commercial break and Seth Rollins makes his way out to the ring.
Fans chant for CM Punk and Roman Reigns as Rollins addresses Cody Rhodes and says that Rhodes holds three wins over him. He says that doesn't bother him since it's irrelevant because it's the past of two different men than the current iterations of them. He says the winner at WWE Crown Jewel doesn't just win the Men's Crown Jewel Championship but gets to decide the next ten years of wrestling. He says he will walk WWE into golden age, then says he's taken Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed under his ring to give him their knowledge.
Cody Rhodes' music hits, and he makes his way out. He says "SmackDown" is not Breakker and Reed's show, but he believes Paul Heyman sent them last Friday rather than Rollins bringing up questions about who's really in control of The Vision. Rollins says every decision goes through him and says he sent Breakker and Reed on Friday. Rhodes says if everything goes through Rollins, then he assumes that he allowed Heyman to make Brock Lesnar's ring announcement at Wrestlepalooza. Rollins reiterates that every decision runs through him, but Rhodes says he likes to think about where him and Rollins will be in twenty years, possibly talking to the future stars in the back and reminiscing about their old days together. He recalls Rollins backing him at WrestleMania 40 and thinking he was his friend, but Rollins tells Rhodes to quiet down and claims that he was never his friend. He says he'll never raise Rhodes' hand and says the future of professional wrestling is him and not Rhodes.
– We then head backstage, where Rhea Ripley approaches IYO SKY. SKY tells Ripley that she talked to Pearce and got them a tag team match against Kairi Sane and Asuka at Crown Jewel.
