Ricochet once again got SmackDown off to a hot start, facing off against “The Honorary Uce” Sami Zayn. Ricochet had his work cut out for him as he had nearly all of The Bloodline, including a returned Paul Heyman, at ringside in the corner of Zayn.

Logan Paul, however, was in the corner of Ricochet offering him some backup.

Ricochet attempted a Standing Moonsault but Zayn got his knees up in time, nearly grabbing a two-count victory in the process. Zayn followed up on this with a Blue Thunder Bomb but Logan Paul distracted the referee, disabling The Master Strategist from earning the win.

In the final stages of the match, Jey Uso attempted to help out The Master Strategist but his plan backfired, prompting Zayn to confront Jey. Ricochet capitalized on the commotion, earning the victory with a Shooting Star Press.

In a back and forth match, Moss fought valiantly but was no match to the numbers game. Whilst Jey Uso was unsuccessful in his distraction attempts earlier in the evening, Sami Zayn was more fruitful in helping Sikoa capitalize on the interference. With Zayn in his corner, Sikoa capitalized by hitting the Spinning Solo on Moss, earning the win and retaining his title.
