Ali vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

The match between Nakamura and Ali never happened since Shinsuke and Sami attacked Ali. We also see Kevin Owens being seated in the crowd and Shane McMahon being served with a lawsuit backstage.

Shane comes to the ring with a group of security guards after the break. He stares at KO as Greg Hamilton does his introduction. He invites Owens into the ring to talk about the lawsuit. He reveals Owens has filed the largest wrongful termination suit in history. He says KO would get $25 million if he were to win. Owens tells him to shut up and explains his case.

Owens lays out his case and says he knows he can hurt Shane by going after his wallet and his pride. KO says Shane didn't read the lawsuit very well because it also says if he wins, he gets to come back and Shane gets fired.

Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks

After a failed distraction from Bayley, Flair locks in the Figure Four. Bayley attacks her to cause a disqualification.

Baron Corbin comes out after the break to be crowned King of the Ring. He revels as someone places a cape and crown on him. He invites Chad Gable to the ring.

Corbin makes some more short jokes, so Gable tackles him and breaks the throne. He breaks the scepter over Corbin's body and rips his cape. Corbin retreats as Gable breaks all his stuff.



Heavy Machinery vs. The B Team

Daniel Bryan comes out to talk about how Rowan betrayed him. He says he treated Rowan as a friend and equal when they won the titles. Rowan comes out and says he is sick of hearing Bryan talk about being equals.

Rowan says Bryan tried to turn him into a puppet just like everyone else. He says Bryan disrespected him and Bryan tells him to do something about it because there is nothing, he can do that is worse than lying and breaking their friendship. Harper attacks Bryan from behind and they proceed to tear Bryan apart. Roman Reigns' music hits and he heads to the ring.

Harper and Rowan eventually get the upper hand and powerbomb Reigns into the ring post. They expose some of the concrete floor before they have to beat up several security guards. Rowan breaks off part of the barricade and uses it as a weapon to hit Roman. He and Harper clean off the announce table and put Bryan through it with a double slam. SmackDown ends with Harper and Rowan standing over the bodies of Reigns and Bryan.
