We start the night off with The Dirt Sheet with Miz & Morrison.
They show the clip from Talking Smack where The Miz forced SmackDown to trade Mandy Rose to RAW. The Miz says that it wasn't a personal decision, and he isn't trying to break up the greatest couple in WWE history.
Miz and Morrison claim that Otis will get over it, and Mandy already has. After all, her former boyfriend Dolph Ziggler is over there.
Otis storms out and knocks out both Miz and Morrison before launching their chairs into the ThunderDome. Tucker sneaks in and catches Miz and Morrison trying to escape. Heavy Machinery, mainly Otis, lays out the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
The Miz tries to escape, but he's stripped down to his undies.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton asks Miz and Morrison if they thought it was wise to antagonize Otis. Miz pulls his phone out of his pants that he hasn't put on yet and makes a call.

It's time for A Moment of Bliss, with special guest Nikki Cross.
Cross, though getting planted with Sister Abigail by Alexa Bliss last week, became the #1 contender to Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship. Bliss brings Cross on and states that they are still best friends.
Nikki Cross hugs Bliss and seems happy to be here.
Bliss says that she has to ask the hard questions, and starts off asking why this title match against Bayley is any different from all the matches they had this summer. Cross says that the difference is that there's no Sasha Banks.
Bliss is happy with the answer and excited to see what Cross will do at Clash of Champions.
Bliss says that she wishes she could give an answer. The only thing she can say is that she's scared that she's going through some kind of change.
Lacey Evans interrupts and says that Alexa Bliss leaving the match last week threw her off her game. She also states that Nikki Cross doesn't have a mean streak, and that's why she'll never beat Bayley.
Nikki steals Evans' handkerchief and blows her nose in it before kicking Evans in the face.
Lacey Evans rolls to the floor to get some sanitizer. She's taken ou with a basement dropkick. Inside the ring, Cross goes for a sleeper, but Evans drives her into the corner.
Cross responds with a crossbody and rolls Evans up in a cradle for a very close call.

Graves asks what the extent of Banks' injuries are. The Boss says she's still here.
Cole goes into the statement that Bayley made last week, claiming that Banks was just biding her time until she'd attack Bayley. However, Bayley was playing her for a fool all these years. They were never friends.
Banks nearly broke down in tears when she went over the bond they had over their love of wrestling.
Banks says that Bayley is naive. She's nothing without The Boss. Now that their friendship is over, Banks promises to take the one thing that Bayley loves. She'll take the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Bayley blindsides her with a chair and wraps it around Banks' neck before she's stopped by security.
