WWE made a stop in Roanoke, Virginia, for its weekly Saturday Night's Main Event house show. The event emanated from the Berglund Center Coliseum and featured top stars from RAW and SmackDown rosters in action.
The house show kicked off with a singles contest between Candice LeRae and Bayley. However, it ended in DQ after Damage CTRL interfered in the match. Later, it was turned into an impromptu six-woman tag team where LeRae was joined by Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox. The babyfaces stood tall at the end.

Next up, Omos was in action against Mustafa Ali. The Nigerian Giant picked up the victory over the high flyer in a short match. Dolph Ziggler also defeated Baron Corbin in the fourth match of the night.
Dominik Mysterio then came out to address the fans in attendance. The Judgment Day member stated that the prison changed him before issuing an open challenge. Dom's challenge was accepted by Butch. However, the Bruiserweight fell short as Dominik secured victory.
Let it be known that @DomMysterio35 won the match here in #WWERoanoke by himself.
