Tonight, WWE celebrated the last edition of SmackDown before their next big event, Backlash. In one of the most outstanding moments of the evening, an intense triple threat match took place; however, during the match, Jade Cargill and her allies returned to cause chaos in the division.

The match began with an intense exchange between Alexa Bliss and Fallon Henley, where Bliss's agility initially prevailed with a rolling senton. However, the members of Fatal Influence managed to isolate Alexa until Rhea Ripley received the tag, clearing the ring with a Fallaway Slam and an apron cannonball. Despite the dominance of the Australian, Jacy Jayne and Lainey Reid regained control through distractions.

After withstanding the attacks from Fatal Influence, Rhea finally managed to tag in Charlotte, who entered punishing her three opponents. "The Queen" was close to sealing the victory after hitting a double Natural Selection on Jayne and Reid, but the count was interrupted. Chaos erupted when Fallon Henley threw Charlotte into the announcer's table and Jade Cargill appeared unexpectedly, knocking Ripley off her corner. This distraction left Alexa Bliss vulnerable, allowing Jacy Jayne to finish her off with a Rolling Encore to secure Fatal Influence's triumph.

After the match, the situation became even darker for the faces. Although Fatal Influence chose to retreat in the presence of Cargill, "The Storm" did not come alone; when Charlotte and Rhea tried to defend Bliss, they were ambushed by B-Fab and Michin. In a clear display of numerical superiority, Cargill knocked out Ripley with a superkick while her new allies took care of Flair and Alexa.
