Overview
- SmackDown, which aired Friday at Boston’s TD Garden, made Chelsea Green the episode’s focal point after she revealed a broken orbital and was granted 30 days by GM Nick Aldis to be medically cleared to keep the WWE Women’s Championship.
- Jacy Jayne defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the WWE Women’s United States Championship, creating an immediate change in the women’s short-term title picture.
- The MFTs (Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga) captured the WWE Tag Team Championship in a triple-threat match, ending the previous champions’ run and adding Haku to their on-screen presence.
- Baron Corbin retained the U.S. Championship over Carmelo Hayes, and Gunther beat Matt Cardona in a match that grew out of the Chelsea Green storyline.
- CM Punk and Kevin Owens staged a heated, personal face-off that pushed their Toronto WWE Championship match forward while Randy Orton’s ambush of Cody Rhodes spilled into the crowd and left that feud unresolved for next week.
