** Smackdown Live **
- The Usos Promo: The new WWE Smackdown Live World Tag Team Champions kick off the show. The Usos say that they told everyone that they had the tag team division on lock and you come out of the Cell a changed man, so they want The New Day to come out and listen to them. The New Day arrive and head to the ring. The Usos say that both teams went to war and all the other teams suck. The Usos give props, show respect and state that they are both running the tag team division. The Hype Bros. suddenly interrupt. Mojo states that the same two teams are getting all the credit every week and he's sick of it. Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable interrupt next. Gable tells The Hype Bros to get to the back of the line. The Usos mock both teams and tell both to get to the back of the line. Both Breezango and The Ascension interrupt next.

Owens calls Sami Zayn his guardian angel and now knows that he must make Smackdown Live a personal paradise. Owens calls out Sami Zayn. Owens tells Zayn thank you from the bottom of his heart. Zayn says that he's finally opened his eyes, he needs to stop listening to the fans. Shane promised him the land of opportunity on Smackdown Live but has failed to use him. Zayn says that when he tried to warn Shane about what Owens was capable and he told Zayn to mind his own business, that was the final straw. Zayn says Owens will always be his brother and when Shane climbed to the top of the cell, he knew Shane only cared about himself. Zayn thanks Owens because Owens was right the whole time.

- Bobby Roode Promo: Roode says his pay per view win was glorious until Dolph Ziggler jumped him after the match. Ziggler interrupts and mocks Roode. Ziggler says he exposed Roode for what he is, a fraud. Ziggler says he proved he's the better man and better wrestler. Ziggler says that Roode realized that, panicked and had to cheat to win. Roode informs Ziggler that all he did was prove that he was smarter than Ziggler. Ziggler wants a rematch, anytime, anyplace. Roode says he's sick of Ziggler talking, take the rematch now.
