SmackDown Live

The man to kickoff the show is AJ Styles, who is now on RAW, but is using the Wild Card rule to make an appearance on SmackDown.

Styles is glad to be back in SmackDown and explains the Wild Card rule... and he's interrupted by Sami Zayn. Zayn tells Styles that his "toxic ego" has gone out of control. 

He's interrupted by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Kofi tells Styles that he does not "live here anymore" and asks him what he's doing on SmackDown tonight.

Kofi and Styles look like they may face off tonight, but Sami Zayn tells Kofi to not offer Styles a shot at the WWE Championship. 

Kofi says that he's a fighting champion and that he will put the title on the line tonight against Zayn or Styles. 

Ali vs. Andrade Cien Almas 

Andrade and Ali are on the top, and Ali lands a Spanish Fly from the top rope... and out of nowhere, Randy Orton attacks Ali but Ali retaliates with multiple punches; Orton then lands an RKO on both Andrade and Ali!

Ali vs Almas ends in disqualification

Shane comes to the ring and talks about what The Miz did to him last night. He says Miz failed to get the job done last night just like he will in their cage match at MITB. He says picking new champions was easy and invites them to the ring. Daniel Bryan and Rowan come out.

The Usos comes out as part of the wildcard rule while Shane is trying to hand over the titles. Shane says they aren't on SmackDown anymore. The Usos say Roman told them to drop by anytime because this is his yard. They tell Shane that people should have to earn the tag titles and suggest they fight Bryan and Rowan for the belts right now. Shane agrees and books the match for right now.
