SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with a recap of Bayley's heel turn from Monday's Raw.

Bayley comes out at the top of the show just like she always does, but this time you can hear a few boos in the crowd. She grabs a mic and when the music stops, a lot more boos can be heard. You can also hear people chanting her name and she says the reaction is confusing. She talks about how people were shocked by what she did but everyone should have known she would be loyal to Sasha Banks.

Bayley says she has been trying to lift up the entire division with her whole heart and she is trying to show people what it means to be loyal. She promises to defeat the selfish Charlotte at Clash of Champions. Charlotte comes out and agrees that she is selfish and says she is genuine about it. This brings out Sasha Banks.

Before Banks can get to the ring, Charlotte nails Bayley with a big boot. She tackles The Boss and beats on her until Bayley hits her with a steel chair. She gives the chair to Banks so she can use it on Flair.

As Roman comes out onto the ramp, Rowan attacks him from behind. Bryan eventually tries to stop him but Rowan shoves him to the floor. He powerbombs Reigns into the ring post before bringing him into the ring. He grabs Reigns by the skull with The Iron Claw and slams him to the mat. He picks up a mic and taunts Reigns by saying Bryan had nothing to do with it. He says Bryan is worse than everyone because he thought he could control Rowan. He says if Bryan wants to show how big of a man he is, he can try to slap him in the face again.
