Overview
- SmackDown at TD Garden on Friday, Aug. 14 crowned Jacy Jayne as the new Women's United States Champion and MFT (Tama and Talla Tonga) as the WWE Tag Team Champions.
- General manager Nick Aldis gave Chelsea Green 30 days to be medically cleared to defend the WWE Women's Championship instead of immediately stripping her, a decision that followed Green's broken orbital injury and a post-match attack by Gunther, Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
- Baron Corbin retained the men's United States Championship by pinning Carmelo Hayes, while Gunther submitted Matt Cardona in an earlier singles match that spilled into a heated ringside confrontation.
- CM Punk and Kevin Owens traded searing personal barbs in a face-to-face promo that escalated their long-running feud and built direct heat for their Undisputed WWE Championship match next week in Toronto.
- Randy Orton ambushed Cody Rhodes during the planned main-event segment, preventing Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn from happening and extending the Rhodes–Orton feud with a brawl that spilled into the crowd and left Rhodes bloodied and the storyline unsettled.
