  • Tag Team Champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid successfully defended their title against Green and United States Champion Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown. Nia Jax and Lash Legend attacked both challengers after the match.
  • "I ended up in the emergency room, and I have a broken orbital bone," Green said, adding that "this feels different" from previous injuries, leaving her status uncertain.
