The WWE returns stateside after a successful trip to Saudi Arabia. Saturday's sven-match Crown Jewel PLE was probably the best event in the series, as the kingdom appears to have insisted on a full slate of WWE superstars, with the brand not only complying, but creating two new championships along the way. The men's and women's Crown Jewel championship belts may have stayed behind, but the red and blue brands each took home one of the inaugural championship rings.

For Monday Night Raw, Liv Morgan's defeat of Smackdown's Nia Jax gave her additional backing to her claim of being the best women's world champ of all time. And Cody Rhodes' defeat of Raw's Heavyweight champion Gunther added another impressive notch on the belt of the fighting champion. Those were just two of the matches however, and the fallout from the opening match will headline things on Friday's episode.

Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, working together for the first time in a long time, lost as Reigns was pinned by Solo Sikoa and The New Bloodline. In the end, Sami Zayn emerged to save his buddy Jey Uso from a neck-in-chair assault, but he ended up delivering a Helluva kick to Reigns. Jimmy Uso and Zayn had a confrontation on Raw, leading Jey to proclaim Sami Uso is family and to invite him to SmackDown to talk it out with Reigns.

Other fallout will include the US Heavyweight champion LA Knight's double BFT victory over Andrade and Carmelo Hayes, Tiffany Stratton almost (again) cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Jax, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton's match never getting underway because they brawled outside the ring, and what is next for Rhodes after beating Gunther.

Match Results

Roman Reigns Promo

The show wastes no time, bringing Reigns out with Jimmy Uso in tow, to address the crowd following being pinned for just the third time in five years. After his ring entrance and crowd chants, Reigns starts to lift the mic to speak in the middle of the ring, but before he can utter a word "Uuuuuuussoooo!" By gawd that's Jey Uso's music!

Jey Uso gets right to the point, telling Reigns he needs to hear "him out" Sami Zayn's music hits and the Raw star walks out to Roman's disgust. "Sami Uso" chants from the entire Buffalo crowd delay the mic talk. Zayn starts saying the kick to the face wasn't on purpose, but he was only in Saudi Arabia was to support Jey. But he admits it felt special to be in the ring with all four of them together, even though the moment didn't last long. Zayn says Reigns still has love for him and then proceeds to remind him of all the fun they had together. Zayn says he's willing to come back in the fold, but Reigns needs to apologize.

Reigns looks at Jey, looks at Jimmy, wearing a grimace, he finally speaks. Reigns questions that Zayn wants him to apologize to him, but Sami corrects him. Zayn wants him to apologize to Jey. Reigns walks up to Jey and says "I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I ever let you waste my time with this. It's not about him, it's about SOLO!" Zayn walks out the ring and Jacob Fatu appears on the monitor, telling Reigns that Sikoa doesn't beat to Reigns' rhythm and the latter will eventually have to acknowledge the new Tribal Chief. 

Bayley vs Candice LeRae

LaRae tries to fake an injury and roll up Bayley when she wasn't looking, but she was ready for it and reversed the attempt to get the three count.

Bayley wins by pinfall.

Randy Orton promo

Orton says he's wasting no time, calls Kevin Owens out to the ring, and they get to rumbling. Orton gets the upper hand, but when the security pulls Orton off of him, Owens gets a sneak shot in and then lands a banished Pile Driver on Orton and his surgically repaired spine.  The cart comes out to take Orton off in a neck brace. 

#DIY vs Pretty Deadly

After Tommaso Clampa confronts Johnny Gargano for being a fanboy for Motor City Machine Guns, he absolutely destroys Pretty Deadly without even tagging in his partner. Beef on the way.

DIY wins by pinfall.

Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair vs Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton (non-title match)

Getting to see Cargill and Jax in the ring together was about to be great until Stratton distracted her by attacking Belair, leading to Jax getting in a Samoan Drop.  After the break, Belair gets on a run and almost slams Jax, but ends up caught in a combo Blockbuster Samoan Drop. Cargill breaks up the pin attempt. Jax distracts the ref with Belair on the top rope, when Larae knocks her off. Naomi comes out to take care of Larae, Jax attacks her, but Cargill delivers a Superkick.

Belair lands a Kiss of Death on Stratton and gets the win.

Cargill, Belair win by pinfall.

Motor City Machine Guns vs A-Town Down Under (non-title match)

Something must've run long earlier in the show, because this was supposed to be a Grayson Waller Effect interview that devolved into a match. A double-kick was the first move that really got the crowd excited and then a Skull n Bones finisher ended things.

MCMG wins by pinfall. 

Tribal Chief Ceremony Promo

The New Bloodline makes their way to the ring and Sikoa takes the mic, admonishing Buffalo to acknowledge him. Music kicks in and Reigns walks out to confront the foursome. Sikoa instructs the OTC to acknowledge him. 
Buffalo," Reigns starts. "Do you acknowledge him?" The crowd erupts in boos. "Neither do I. I won't ever acknowledge you. I'm here to challenge you. One on one. Winner is the Only Tribal Chief" Sikoa breaks out in laughter and says there's no need to fight, he has the title.

"As a matter of fact, you can't be a tribal chief when there's no tribe. I challenge you to go back to the locker room and find four people who will team up with you and go to war."

"You talking about War Games? I only see four of you." Sikoa says his fifth is Sami Zayn, who emerges from the tunnel. Bloodline starts to wreck Reigns, and the Uso brothers race to defend. Fatu takes out the Usos with two Superkicks while Sikoa lines up a Samoan Spike and calls Zayn to the ring. He holds up Reigns for Zayn to attack, but Zayn Heluva kicks Sikoa. Fatu enters the ring and Reigns hits him with a Superman Punch before Zayn lands another Heluva kick. 

Reigns' Samoan Spear takes out Sikoa and the OG Bloodline stands in the ring. Jey Uso's finger is up, Jimmy Uso's finger is up, Zayn puts his finger up and then... Reigns joins them. The OG Bloodline is back.
