WWE SmackDown Montréal, Québec, Canada
The commentators are Michael Cole and Pat Mcafee.
– Tonight is the 1200th episode of WWE SmackDown, the blue show kicks off with the arrival without any music from Ronda Rousey. She stands in the center of the ring and says that last week she paid her fine and she demands to be reinstated. She asks Adam Pierce to come to the ring, because she won’t leave until she gets what she wants.
Adam Pierce comes with security and says he understands why Ronda is upset, but she can’t sabotage the show to get what she wants. He asks her to calmly leave the ring. Ronda responds by telling Adam Pearce not to force her to use violence. Security comes into the ring to meet him, but Ronda Rousey attacks them. She ends up wearing a Jujigatame on a security member.
Adam Pearce asks the police to come and Ronda lets herself be led away to the boos of a hot Montreal crowd. We follow the police who take Ronda Rousey by car and another crosses her. We see Roman Reigns getting out of that oncoming car and the Montreal fans are exploding.

– Behind the scenes, we find Sami Zayn who presents himself in front of Roman Reigns’ box. A member of security is in front and he tells her that the Tribal Chief wants to see him. Sami Zayne complies and settles on the sofa with Roman Reigns who asks him how he is. Sami Zayn says he’s fine, but complains regarding Jay being a bit on his back lately. He says he saved Jay last week, but he seems ungrateful because there was no thanks. Roman Reigns is pensive and ends up saying that he agrees with him, but that Jey is part of the family. Roman goes away for a few seconds and he receives a call that Sami takes, because he has the phone next to him. It’s Jey calling and Roman tells Sami to answer. Sami responds and says he will pass the message to Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief asks what’s going on and Sami says the Usos might not be there tonight because they’re having trouble at the border, but he is there. Roman asks Sami Zayn if everything is going well with Kevin Owens and to tell him that he owes nothing to anyone. Sami ends by saying that they haven’t spoken in a while, but he must know.
– After the commercial break, we find the Maximum Male Models (Max Dupri, Maxxine Dupri, Mace & Mansoor) in the ring, but they are very quickly interrupted by Hit Row (Top Dolla, Ashante Thee Adonis & B-Fab). Max Dupri says that Hit Row does not correspond to the standards of MMM and more particularly Top Dolla. He doesn’t continue, as Ashante and Top Dolla are busy getting rid of Mace and Mansoor. Hit Row launches into an improvised concert with a very receptive crowd.
– We have a promo from Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux. Scarlett says a tongue may not be steel, but that doesn’t stop it from being sharp. Karrion Kross hails Drew McIntyre and says his return has completely unsettled him. He says he may not want to be called the chosen one, but that’s who he is just like Roman Reigns. He says Roman succeeded where Drew McIntyre failed. He ends by saying that Drew McIntyre has been cast many times and they have been wrong.

– It’s head-to-head time with first the entry of Undisputed WWE Champion, Roman Reigns. A microphone is given to Roman Reigns who asks Montreal to recognize him. He says he’s gone every week now and he hears a lot of bullshit. He says that everyone who says they are the face of the company is a liar and more specifically Drew McIntyre, because there is only one person carrying the company on his back and his name is Roman Reigns. He says there is no debate, as Drew McIntyre is not on his level when suddenly the Scotsman’s music is heard.
Drew says he would have liked to say all this to her face, but like he said, he hasn’t really been around lately. He says Roman Reigns has been pulling the strings behind the scenes for several years to remain champion with the help of The Usos and Wise Man, Paul Heyman. He says that in Clash At The Castle he will finish off the Tribal Chief, but he doesn’t continue, as Roman Reigns attacks him and a fight breaks out. Drew gets the upper hand by sending him flying with a Belly to Belly Overhead Suplex and tries his Claymore, but Sami Zayn comes out of nowhere to save Roman by taking the hold for him. Roman then carries his Superman Punch and then attempts to finish off the Scot by preparing for the Spear, but Drew surprises him with a Claymore.
The show ends with Drew McIntyre celebrating with both belts.
