SmackDown Live

The Miz opens the show with MizTV. 
The Miz plugs his upcoming reality show before welcoming Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods to the ring to reveal which one will compete in MITB. Miz says New Day has never reached their full potential because they are holding each other back. 
Woods puts Miz over as a living legend, but he also calls him selfish. Miz reminds them that he has done things none of them have ever done. He says Kofi has failed too many times and Big E doesn't take himself seriously, but he puts over Woods as someone with potential. Then he gets angry when they refuse to reveal which member will be in the MITB match. 
Big E challenges The Miz to a match instead of revealing who will be in MITB. Miz says no answer, no match. The New Day starts throwing pancakes at Miz and yelling "Shame" until he runs away. He runs into Paige backstage and she books Miz vs. Big E for right now and sends him back out to the ring.

Nakamura plays a clip of him beating Styles last week just to rub it in. Nakamura jokingly says their match will be a pillow fight at first. AJ says this isn't the Nakamura they wanted on SmackDown and Shin tries to take a cheap shot. They take the fight into the crowd for a moment. Nakamura uses a chair to get the upper hand after AJ beats him back to the ringside area. He drops AJ across the announce table before hitting the Kinshasa. Then he reveals it will be a Last Man Standing match.
