Sami Zayn retained the Undisputed WWE Championship over Trick Williams in the main event of Friday Night SmackDown on October 30, winning a restarted No Disqualification match with a low blow and a shot with the title belt, WWE.com reported. The result also locked in Zayn's next defense: a champion versus champion match against Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel.
The finish took a turn before the restart. Williams had Zayn pinned when Johnny Gargano pulled the referee out of the ring, and a disqualification was called. General Manager Nick Aldis then restarted the bout with no disqualifications allowed and cleared ringside personnel, Wrestling Inc said. Zayn won the second go with the low blow, followed by the belt shot, and kept the title.
In the other title match, Chelsea Green retained the WWE Women's Championship over Nikki Bella. Bella hit a Rack Attack but carried too much momentum and pulled Green into the ropes, so the referee did not count the pin. Bella then locked in the Fearless Lock, and Green escaped and rolled her up for the win, according to WWE.com and Wrestling Inc. WWE.com said Green will face Women's World Champion Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel.
Rey Fenix retained the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship over Ricky Saints. Wrestling Inc reported that Fenix countered with multiple cutters and finished the match with the Mexican Muscle Buster after Saints had blocked an earlier attempt and gone for a Revolution DDT. WWE.com, Wrestling Inc, and khelnow all list Fenix as the winner.
The Demon Finn Balor returned during Danhausen's segment, which centered on the reveal of his Minihausens clones. Gunther attacked Danhausen and the clones, and The Demon then emerged and hit a Coup de Grace off a ladder, putting Gunther through the announce table, WWE.com and Titan Quisitor reported.
Also on the show, Jade Cargill defeated Tatum Paxley by pinfall with a pump kick into Jaded. Alexa Bliss, Michin, and B-Fab, the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, were at ringside, and the distraction around Paxley set up the finish. Tiffany Stratton's Money in the Bank cash-in attempt on Liv Morgan was interrupted. Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez of The Judgment Day attacked Stratton before it could be completed, and IYO SKY ran in for the save. No title changed hands.
Cody Rhodes opened the show with a segment on his Last Man Standing match against Randy Orton at Crown Jewel. WWE.com quoted Rhodes as saying, "The Last Man Standing will be the only man punting. That's me."
Crown Jewel takes place November 7 in Riyadh. Its card now includes Reigns against Zayn, Rhodes against Orton in a Last Man Standing match, and Green against Morgan.
