Summary
Boston opened with Chelsea Green refusing to relinquish the WWE Women’s Championship despite a broken eye socket, and Nick Aldis gave her 30 days to get medically cleared.
Gunther then turned that confrontation into an impromptu match, dominating Matt Cardona before finishing him with a Boston Crab after consecutive powerbombs.
Nia Jax hit the ring immediately after the win and declared she wants Green’s title, while Lash Legend helped leave Tiffany Stratton laid out after a failed save.
The angle kept Green at the center of SmackDown’s first 25 minutes and set up a likely title program around whether she can return within that 30-day deadline.
