The night began with a video set reviewing the 1,000-day reign of tribal leader Roman rule.
–Already in the ring, Austin Theory welcomed the show To tell the crowd that they have the privilege of seeing Reigns’ 1000 day celebration today, but they should be celebrating the greatest United States Champion of all time: Austin Theory. After this, Theory would call Pretty Deadly to the ring; However, when they try to talk, they are soon interrupted by Brawling Brutes, so a fight ensues:
-Austin Theory and Freddy Deadly defeated The Brawling Brutes
-The OC defeated Hit Row
– Backstage, Paul Heyman asked Solo Chikova To make sure tonight is special for the Romans, that is to keep the Usos away. Also, Paul has asked Adam Pearce to beef up security at the arena.
-Grayson Waller delivered The Grayson Waller Effect with Asuka As a special guest. After looking back at her win at Night of Champions, Asuka would say that no one would ever take the title away from her. However, first Io Skye, followed by Bayley, Shadzi, Lacey Evans and Jelena Vega interrupt her and start telling her how they will win MITB to take down Asuka.
The champion would leave the ring only to be attacked by former champion Bianca Belaire until separated by multiple referees.
– Jelena Vega defeated Lacey Evans To qualify for MITB
In another MITB qualifying match, LA Knight defeated Montez Ford
Triple H came to the ring to kick off the 1000 Days of Roman Reigns as Universal Champion.. After an introduction about how Reigns is living up to WWE history, the Tribe Leader will be joined by Solo Chikova and Paul Heyman in the ring to a standing ovation from the crowd. As if that weren’t enough, The Game tells him he has something: a new Universal Championship

However, after Reigns holds up the new title and asks the universe to recognize him, The Usos arrive to disrupt the celebration. Roman would demand that Jey kick his brother like Jimmy kicked him. However, Jimmy will tell Reigns because it’s time Roman can’t see how he’s treated Jey and act like a real brother. The Usos will tell Solo Chikova that he is also his brother, to which Reigns asks which side he is on. I’d say he recognizes the tribe leader, but surprisingly, he’ll pass on the Usos because they’re his brothers.
As the 3 brothers confront Reigns, they tell him that they can still fix things and rule Smackdown together again, however, they can no longer live under Reigns’ abuse. The tribal leader, on the verge of tears, embraces Jimmy, seemingly the union of The Bloodline… but, of course, it’s a trap, as Reigns declines the offer, and then Solo Chikova presents Jimmy with a gift. Samoan Spike knocked him out and left the ring with the tribal leader, thus closing the final segment of The Bloodline.
