“In the end, everybody pays the toll. TICK TOCK.” - The biggest interest was what happened last week on SmackDown involving Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux - both of whom returned to WWE after being released last year and instantly made a big impact. This week, we saw the impact from afar as they were restricted to a backstage segment. Kross, however, has his sights set on and . Given the positioning, Kross could very much challenge Roman Reigns post-Clash at the Castle should The Tribal Chief retain the title. It will be interesting to see how this situation builds up, but it's also possible that he helps Reigns defeat McIntyre to retain at Clash at the Castle.
Contract signed. The match is on! vs Shayna Baszler is the direction for Clash at the Castle 2022, and it's a good one. Baszler is a two-time NXT Women's Champion and a legitimate contender for the title. We were admittedly surprised to see storm in with a bag of money to pay her fine, meaning that WWE only wrote her off TV for a little while. While Liv Morgan is expected to retain against Shayna Baszler, her feud against Ronda Rousey is also expected to resume by the time September rolls in. If they can drag the feud until Extreme Rules 2022 (October 8th), WWE can easily squeeze in another month into Morgan's title reign. However, Rousey dethroning her under her new heel persona seems to be heavily hinted at.

This week has been amazing for the United States Championship and the Intercontinental title. The US title hasn't been handled with much respect for years, but the handling of the Intercontinental title has probably been worse. If you ask any WWE fan which last great Intercontinental title reign they can remember, they are likely to say The Miz in 2016. However, Bobby Lashley on RAW and Gunther on SmackDown have been the perfect superstars to elevate the title, and WWE has been hinting at truly elevating them in the last few weeks. This week, RAW featured an incredible US title match between and Ciampa, while SmackDown was headlined by an amazing Intercontinental title match between Gunther and Shinsuke Nakamura. The tradition of the Intercontinental title not being defended on premium live specials may continue for a while, but it should fill the void in case the World Champion of the brand isn't present.

The team of & advance in the Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament! The team of & advance in the Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament! Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez faced Xia Li and Shotzi in the first round of the Women's Tag Team title tournament. The outcome was never in question, but what role will they play in the tournament? If Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai are the top villains in the tournament, these two will be the top babyfaces. However, given that they are a randomly paired team, we don't see them getting past Sky and Kai in the finals - something we expect them to reach. However, they are likely to advance in the next round as well. WWE subtly hinted at them being the top babyface team of the tournament.#2 WWE s genuine moves with the midcard titles
