As the explosive 2021 WWE Draft changed the landscape of Raw and SmackDown, SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch helped Sasha Banks overcome Bianca Belair, only to have Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair command the spotlight. Plus, Brock Lesnar laid waste to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, Seth Rollins invaded Edge’s home and so much more.

Brock Lesnar laid waste to WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns & SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos.
Fresh off his victory over " The Demon" Finn Bálor at WWE Extreme Rules, Universal Champion Roman Reigns was suddenly interrupted by Brock Lesnar. Chaos ensued between the two Superstars, and that paved the way for The Beast to dismantle Reigns and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos en route to his Universal Title Match against The Head of the Table at WWE Crown Jewel.

Happy Corbin (with Madcap Moss) defeated KEvin Owens.
With his cackling friend Madcap Moss in his corner to cause the distraction, Happy Corbin hit End of Days (or "Happy Days" depending who you ask) onto the unforgiving ringside floor. He then overcame KO with a second End of Days inside the ring for the win. (Via WWE.com)
Seth Rollins invaded WWE Hall of Famer, Edge's home.
During his epic rematch against Edge on the Sept. 10 edition of SmackDown, Seth Rollins delivered a Stomp that sent his opponent away in an ambulance. Weeks later, The Rated-R Superstar emerged to confront The Visionary of Drip. One problem, though: His adversary wasn’t there.
Instead, Rollins showed up at Edge’s home! Although Beth Phoenix and the kids were not there, Rollins let himself in and made himself at home – a horrifying moment for The Rated-R Superstar. (Via WWE.com)

Liv Morgan vs. Carmella ended in a no contest.
In the wake of her victory over Carmella at WWE Extreme Rules, Liv Morgan gave the self-proclaimed “Most Beautiful Woman in All of WWE” a rematch on the blue brand. Before the match could begin, though, Carmella exited the ring and had her people put some sort of protective mask on her face. She then used the apparatus to attack Liv before planting her face-first into the canvas. (Via WWE.com)
The Street Profits & The New Day defeated Alpha Academy & The Dirty Dogs.
Newly-drafted SmackDown Superstars Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods used tag team precision to get the pin on Robert Roode and the victory for The New Day and The Street Profits. (Via WWE.com)
Sasha banks defeated Bianca Belair.
Sasha Banks returned to SmackDown to battle The EST of WWE in a highly anticipated WrestleMania Rematch with SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch looking on from the commentary desk. Becky found herself in a war or words with the combatants, and before Belair could get back in the ring, The Man held her hair against the apron where the official couldn't see it. This allowed The Boss to roll up The EST of WWE for the pinfall.
Before the dust could settle, newly drafted SmackDown Superstar and Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair attacked Banks and Belair. As the blue brand went off the air, Flair and Lynch raised their respective titles into the sky. (Via WWE.com)
