Following the WWE Championship Ladder match earlier, the next match on the card was one of the TLC matches as the Swiss Superman Cesaro looks for redemption from his Backlash screwjob as he gets another chance to dethrone the Head of the Table for the soon-to-be defunct Universal Championship and bring back the iconic, fan favorite "Big Gold" World Heavyweight Championship.
Cesaro was stretching and warming up for the match and was approached by Liv and Luke.
Luke: ready man?
Cesaro: definitely, time to shut down the doubters
Liv: you got this Swiss Tony!
Cesaro nodded and fist bumped his friends and went to the gorilla to wait for his queue.
(In the ring)
The blue strap Universal title was hanging above the ring as the Tribal Chief's theme played and Roman walked out with Heyman and The Usos flanking by his sides.
Reigns ordered the special counsel and the Bloodline to hang backstage and the three people left while Roman went down the ramp and got in the ring.
Then Cesaro's theme played and the Swiss Cyborg made his way down the ramp, looking and checking out all of the weaponry and hardware he can use to his advantage. Cesaro removed his jacket, ran in the ring and started to trade punches with Reigns as the bell rang. Cesaro went for the suplex, but Reigns escaped and hits an early Superman Punch, fazing the Swiss Cyborg. However, Cesaro fired back and connected with pop up uppercut on the champion, knocking Roman down and making the champion roll out of the ring to regroup.
Cesaro pursued Reigns for more offense, but Roman fired back with a chair shot to Cesaro's midsection before slamming the steel furniture on the Swissman's back.
Roman measured for chair shot to the head, but Cesaro fired back with a chair of his own to the Tribal Chief's midsection. The Swiss Cyborg attempted to Irish whip Reigns to the steel steps, but the champion reversed it, making Cesaro collide with the steps instead.
Roman got a ladder and slid in the ring; he then got the ladder standing and aligned with the title. Reigns began his ascend to reclaim what's his, but he was stopped by Cesaro; the Swissman got Reigns and slammed him down with a powerbomb.
The Cesaro Section in the crowd were cheering for the Swissman while the challenger got a table under the ring, much to the delight of the crowd. Cesaro slid in the table and set it up in the ring. To make sure, Cesaro landed some chair shots on Reigns to keep him down for a while, hoping enough time to climb and grab the title.
Cesaro climbed the ladder and he is fingertips away from grabbing the Universal title, however Reigns recovered and ascended the ladder to connect a midair Superman Punch, making the Swissman fall and land through the table.
(Fast forward)
Reigns has set up another table in the ring, and goes to climb the ladder again, however Cesaro recovered and pursued Roman to the top of the ladder to land some punches before slamming Roman's head on the ladder; he then saw the table and an idea flew in his head.
Cesaro got in position on top of the ladder and got Roman in the position for the Neutralizer. The crowd saw what was going on and was cheering loud. Cesaro held the champion and jumped to hit a high risk Neutralizer from the top of the ladder through the table.
Jim Ross or JR, one of the special guest commentators at ringside was on his feet doing his iconic commentator calls.
JR: that's it Cesaro! This is your moment!
Cesaro nodded and began his climb while JR yelled.
JR: climb the ladder kid, make yourself famous!
The Swissman slowly make his climb on the ladder; he was fingertips away, but the Usos ran down, got in the ring and pulled Cesaro down to hit a Double Superkick.
The Usos helped their cousin to his feet and lead him to the ladder. Roman slowly climbed the ladder while The Usos hyped him up while Cesaro was down at ringside.
As Roman got his hand on the title, a familiar theme played which got the crowd to their feet.
The crowd popped big as the Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment walked out to the stage while the people cheered loud as the Bloodline were shocked in disbelief in seeing their cousin.
The Rock made his way down the ramp and got in the ring to stand face to face with his own family.
Roman and The Usos assumed that Rock will help them, but much to the shock, the Great One pulled Reigns down and hits him with a right hand and a fight ensued as The Rock landed right hands on The Usos while JR was going crazy at ringside.
JR: bah gawd! The Rock is laying the SmackDown on his own blood! Right hands to the champion and right hands to the Usos!
The Rock took down Roman with his signature spit punch; he then laid out Jimmy with a Samoan Drop and finishes Jey off with the Rock Bottom.
Then The Rock got Roman and flattens him with the Spinebuster; the Great One proceeded and nailed the Tribal Chief with the People's Elbow.
Cesaro got back in the ring and saw The Rock the only man standing as he laid out the Bloodline single handedly. The Swiss Superman got a ladder as he stared down at the Brahma Bull.
The Rock stared at Cesaro for a few seconds then he nods and points at the title before leaving the ring. Cesaro set up the ladder and climbed to the top; the crowd cheered as they watch the Swissman unbuckle and claim the Universal title. The Swiss Superman has broken through the glass ceiling.
Cesaro got down and raised the Universal title. As per stipulation, Cesaro is officially the final Universal Champion as The Rock got back in the ring and handed the Swissman the iconic World Heavyweight Championship.
The Rock nodded and left Cesaro to celebrate his big victory of dethroning the Head of the Table as the new World Heavyweight Championship. The crowd cheered as the Swiss Cyborg raised Big Gold over his head.
(Backstage)
Luke and Liv were cheering and clapping for their friend.
Luke: yeah! Let's go! New World Champion!
Liv: now I'm so ready for my championship match
Luke: you got this babe. And I can't believe The Rock was here
Liv: I know, I was so surprised!
Then they see Cesaro walking with the title on his shoulder.
Luke: there he is!
Cesaro: this title looks better on me
Luke: oh yeah, look at this, it's so beautiful
The Nomad said as he tapped the Big Gold title.
Luke: all up to you now babe, so we can all hold titles
Liv: oh yes babe. I got this
Liv tapped Big Gold for good luck and left for her second chance match in another TLC match.
(In the ring)
The ring was set and the SmackDown Women's Championship was hanging above the ring. Big Time Becks' theme played and the champion Becky Lynch made her way to the ring.
Big Time Becks had an arrogant and confident smirk on her face as she checked out all the hardware around the area. She armed herself with a chair and got in the ring to wait for her opponent.
Then Liv made her entrance with the crowd right behind her as they showed support for the Jersey native. Liv was in focus mode as she ran down the ramp and got in the ring; she ducked a chair shot from Becky and disarmed the chair from Big Time Becks with a dropkick and the bell rang.
The two women traded punches and Becky pushed Liv to the ropes and the Jersey native ducked a right hand and took down Becks with a Headscissors Takedown.
Liv grabbed the chair and used it to hit Becks in the gut and her back. She neutralized Becks for the mean time by nailing a DDT on the chair.
Liv went out of the ring and slid a ladder in the ring. Also, Liv got a table and slid the hardware in the ring as well. The Jersey native leaned the table on the turnbuckles and set the ladder in the center.
Liv made the climb to the top, but Becky got back up and pulled Liv down and kneed Liv in the gut. She then saw the table in the corner and then puts the Jersey native through the table with a Bexploder suplex.
(Fast forward)
Liv slowly recovered and saw Becky climbing the ladder; she got back up and hits Becky in the back with a chair repeatedly until the champion descended back down.
Liv got the chair and nailed Becky with a chair aided Jersey Codebreaker; she then placed the chair on the canvas, ran to the ropes and takes down Becky with the ObLIVion on the chair.
Liv took the opportunity and climbed the ladder slowly as she was inches away from the title that was taken away from her by a screwjob. Liv got the title in her hands and unbuckled it; the match was over.
The crowd cheered loud while Liv got down and raised the title while she was crying happy tears. Liv Morgan has finally achieved her dream of becoming champion and proved the corporate doubters wrong.
As Liv went to the stage, she was joined by her boyfriend Luke, the Intercontinental Champion and Cesaro, the new World Heavyweight Champion. The photographers got a shot of the three champions before the main event of the match, the career versus title match between Luke and Vince.
The new SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan gave her boyfriend a good luck kiss before she and Cesaro went to the back and watch the main event.
