Tonight s SmackDown didn t take long to put some Championship gold on the line, as the first match of the night was a match for the Women s Tag Team Championships between Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax against Natalya and Tamina. Baszler and Jax were in lethal mode tonight, and they immediately did some damage to the pair with a big Samoan Drop to Tamina on the outside of the ring that left Natalya in a two-on-one scenario, and Baszler and Jax quickly capitalized. They kept Natalya in their corner and switched up on doing damage to her arm and wrist, and Baszler was looking pretty confident about their win.
Roman Reigns kicked off SmackDown with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso and started talking about Cesaro and how the network and WWE didn't want the Swiss star as champion.
