We go on with the show and find Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser in the ring, with the first launching an open challenge for the Intercontinental title, even if the former Walter always states that no one is worthy to challenge him for his title.
The call is answered by former Intercontinental champion Shinsuke Nakamura, who does not want to challenge Gunther immediately but rather Ludwig Kaiser for the moment. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA VS LUDWIG KAISER Nakamura manages to put Kaiser in difficulty from the very first moments of the match, even if the latter manages to hit the opponent a few times.
Kaiser tries to hit him with a right but Nakamura responds with a kick and finally inflicts Kinshasa, definitively closing the match. WINNER: SHINSUKE NAKAMURA Post-match, Gunther gets into the ring and for penance, he hits Kaiser with three chops (one more devastating than the other), given the defeat he has remedied.
When I saw that, I said to myself “if these two split, I'm going to see the Aew”.
Shinsuke Nakamura started strong
Shinsuke Nakamura then walked out and got in Gunther’s face. The Intercontinental Champion said that the challenger had to earn his opportunity, so he faced Kaiser in the match.
After a recap, the 237821 in a week, of the Women's Money in the Bank, the winner of that match, Liv Morgan, enters the ring. The 28-year-old ex-Riott Squad managed to cash in on the briefcase on the same evening, managing to win via roll-up against Ronda Rousey and becoming SmackDown champion for the first time ever.
At first, she is interviewed by Michael Cole but in reality, the promo is the same as in RAW. Indeed, she is interrupted by Natalya who, in turn, is interrupted by a slightly bruised Ronda Rousey. The former SmackDown champion congratulates Liv on her victory and lets her know that defending her title is not the same as winning it.
After that, even though she is not dressed to fight, she asks the audience if they want to see Rousey vs Natalya take on each other in Texas, with the WWE Universe yelling yes. NATALYA VS RONDA ROUSEY I recognize the fact that Natalya is helping Rousey in the ring and behind the scenes, she is also giving her a huge hand, but she is still a very unlikely opponent alas.
Having said that, Ronda first performs a suplex and finally an Angle Lock to poor Natalya who tries to resist but gives in. WINNER: RONDA ROUSEY.
