AJ Styles heads to the ring to defend the U.S. title against Baron Corbin.
AJ gives a quick promo before the match telling KO he has no idea what he is in for at Hell in a Cell. As the announcer gives the official introductions, Corbin attacks Styles and beats him down in the corner. Tye Dillinger runs out from the back and clips Corbin's knee. He clotheslines The Lone Wolf out of the ring and continues pounding on him at ringside. After a few officials get Tye to back off, Corbin acts like his ankle is broken. Styles pounces with an elbow to the face before locking him in the Calf Crusher.
Corbin is limping backstage when Renee tries to interview him. He yells at her about feeling violated and says he is going to get even.
Charlotte heads to the ring to talk about her father's illness and thank fans for their support.
Charlotte thanks everyone and says she learned life is fragile and unexpected. She promises to make every moment from here on out as big as possible. Before she can continue, Natalya comes to the ring with two guys behind her carrying something. She says she is happy Ric is doing better, but now it's time for something more important.
Natalya talks about how powerful women have been leading the charge to break down barriers. She says it's time to focus on one woman, which is obviously herself. She unveils a picture of her holding up the women's title. Charlotte is unimpressed.
Becky Lynch comes out and says Natalya is out of her mind if she thinks she is the best. Bex says the only place the title is going is back to her, which brings out Naomi. She says Nattie doesn't represent all women. She just represents her cats. Before she can ask for a title match, Tamina and Lana head to the ring.
Lana calls Natalya a "Crazy cat lady" and says this is Tamina's time. Nattie gets angry and claims she will be the women's champion forever. As she heads up the ramp, Daniel Bryan comes out. He books Naomi vs. Tamina vs. Charlotte vs. Becky for a shot at Natalya's title at HIAC.
