WWE SmackDown Live Updates, Results and Highlights From MITB Qualifiers, US Title Match, More

Legend showcased her strength early on, steamrolling her opponents.

Flair seized control momentarily, laying the former basketball player out on the arena floor.

It was the Beautiful Madness, though, who entered the break with momentum on her side as she laid out The Queen to grab the upper hand.

Backstage, WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green stressed over the possibility that someone will be coming to cash in Money in the Bank, expressing her concerns to Tiffany Stratton and Paige.

When her tag team partners for later in the night left the room, Nikki Bella appeared and reiterated her threats to take the title off of Green, regardless of who she has watching her back.

After consecutive weeks of interfering in each other's matches, SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis met with Punk and Owens backstage.

Seeing as how he can't have their issues bleeding over to more matches and shows, he demanded they bury the hatchet.

"He's got nothing I want," Punk said, so if Owens stays out of his way, he will stay out of the Prizefighter's.

Before she battles for champions Charlotte Flair and Giulia for a chance to compete in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Lash Legend and her Irresistible Force teammate, Nia Jax, joined Cathy Kelley for an interview.

Legend gave props to her opponents but reiterated that she plans on leaving tonight with a win and becoming Miss Money in the Bank.

Back from the timeout, champion and challenger battled atop the steel structure.

A huge superplex brought both crashing to the mat.

Corbin took a shot at Lil Yachty at ringside, one that the rapper repaid moments later when he slammed the cage door on the heel's face.

Williams delivered a Trick Shot, but Corbin shockingly kicked out at two, something no other Superstar had done to that point on the main roster, per Michael Cole on commentary.

The Nomad recovered and delivered the Deep Six, but similarly failed to keep his opponent down.

Still seeking revenge after months of torment, Williams fought back, delivered a trifecta of Book Ends, and pinned Corbin to retain his title.

WINNER: TRICK WILLIAMS

Not nearly as good as their previous encounter at Sunday Night's Main Event, this was still an electric start to the show and one that, hopefully, puts this feud in the rear view mirror for both men's sake.

Williams fed off the crowd's energy early, taking the fight to Corbin and beating him down in the corner as chants of "whoop that trick" rained from the stands.

The heel recovered, however, and drove the champion to the mat with a Death Valley Driver for a two-count as the show headed to picture-in-picture commercial break.

A hot start from Williams, coupled with an appropriately timed takeover by the villain, led to a strong start in our first match of the night.

Finn Balor was shown arriving at the arena ahead of his triple threat main event against CM Punk and Gunther.

From there, the entrance videos transitioned to the women's match, with Charlotte Flair, Lash Legend, and Giulia shown entering the building.

In the arena proper, a steel cage lowered from the ceiling and a video package hyped the ongoing rivalry between Trick Williams and Baron Corbin over the United States Championship as the match kicked off the show.
