Liv Morgan def. Tiffany Stratton
Despite Nia Jax distracting the official on the ring apron and kicking the Money in the Bank briefcase to Tiffany Stratton to use against Liv Morgan, the Women's World Champion avoided the hit and rolled up her opponent for the three-count while grabbing the tights.
When Morgan attempted to use the briefcase on Jax after the bell, though, the WWE Women's Champion took it away from her and used it on Liv, Raquel Rodregez and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio before crushing her WWE Crown Jewel opponent with the Annihilator.

In the heated final moments of her tag team match, Bayley collided with her partner Naomi on the apron and effectively tagged Naomi into the match.

Roman Reigns agreed that he and Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso are equals heading into their Six-Man Tag Team Match against The Bloodline at WWE Crown Jewel.

Seconds after the match, however, Kevin Owens suddenly emerged to attack The Viper with a steel chair before their WWE Crown Jewel showdown. As he did, Gunther reentered the ring and locked Rhodes in a Sleeper to leave SmackDown in chaos.
