We see a recap of WWE Backlash.
AJ Styles opens SD Live
AJ Styles comes to the ring, with the announcer saying he requested to be introduced as the face that runs the place.
Styles says he has done everything he has promised, including beating John Cena at SummerSlam and winning the WWE title.
Styles says everything he says it gospel, and he calls himself the champ who runs the camp. I guess he is talking about camp WWE.
As he is bragging, John Cena's music hits and he comes out.
Dean Ambrose's music hits and he makes his way down, clearly intent on getting his rematch. He says Styles made the biggest mistake of his life on Sunday when he hit a low blow to win the title.
He says he will bury Styles, and that's when Cena turns Ambrose around. He mocks Ambrose and says Stone Cold was right when he called Ambrose out on his podcast. He says Ambrose has no balls and he is surprised the low blow hurt him.
Ambrose calls Cena a lazy part-timer and says he is better off doing awards shows and movies because he can't keep up anymore.
Shane McMahon makes his way to the ring.
Shane calls Styles out for taking the easy road and kicking Ambrose below the belt. He books Styles vs. Cena for the title at No Mercy and Ambrose almost loses his mind, until he finds out it's a triple threat with all three men.
Then he books Cena and Ambrose vs. AJ and a partner of his choosing, if he can find one.
A five-way match to determine the No. 1 contender to Becky Lynch's title is announced for later tonight.
The Usos vs. Hype Bros
the Usos won
After the break, Maryse and The Miz head to the ring to celebrate his win at Backlash
They trade their usual insults, but Ziggler admits he is in a slump. He asks if Miz wants to earn some respect by giving him one more title shot, but with nobody at ringside to help him.
Daniel Bryan comes out and says Maryse is the only reason Miz is still champion. He declares Ziggler will get his rematch, which causes Miz to freak out.
Miz says he won't defend the title until he gets what he wants, which is a renegotiated contract. Bryan gets in the ring, so Miz and Maryse leave through the crowd.
Styles is shown trying to recruit Baron Corbin to be his partner, but Corbin says he would rather be fighting AJ than fighting alongside him.
Corbin is in the ring, Apollo Crews apparently asked for a rematch.
Corbin attacks Crews while he is posing in the ring and ends up hitting End of Days outside the ring. Then Jack Swagger's music hits and he heads to the ring in street clothes.
Corbin decides to leave instead of engaging Swagger in a fight. Swagger says he is now on SmackDown as of 12:01 this morning.
Becky Lynch comes out, and is interviewed about being the first SD Live Women's Champion, and the fight she went through at WWE Backlash.
The Fatal 5 Way #1 Contender Match
Nikki Bella vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya w/ Becky Lynch at ringside.
Alexa Bliss won and is the #1 contender to the SD Live Women's Championship.
Shane is in the ring to present Slater with his new contract.
Slater wastes no time signing the contract and grabbing the mic to celebrate. He thanks Shane, Bryan and his wife, Beulah. He also thanks Rhyno and says they will face anyone, any time, anywhere.
As he is listing off his kids' names, The Ascension come out.
Shane books the match for the titles and has the crew take the table and carpet from the ring.
Heath Slater and Rhyno vs. The Ascension for SD Live Tag Team Championships
Heath Slater and Rhyno won
Randy Orton addresses Bray Wyatt
Orton says Wyatt is afraid of him, and that's why he was attacked at Backlash. He calls out Wyatt to come to the ring and face his fear. Wyatt comes on the titantron and gives one of his sermons.
Wyatt then appears at ringside laughing at Orton. Randy tells him to get in the ring right now, and Wyatt takes off his jacket like he is going to fight. Then the lights go out, and when they come back on, Erick Rowan attacks Orton from behind.
Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere and then looks around to see Wyatt is no longer at ringside.
John Cena and Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles and James Ellsworth
Miz came out of no where and attacked James Ellsworth
So, now it is Miz as AJ Styles partner.
John Cena and Dean Ambrose won
Dean Ambrose put John Cena in dirty deeds, and stands tall neat the ring and Styles on the ramp to close the show.
What are your thoughts on the triple threat for the WWE World Championship at No Mercy
AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. John Cena?
I think it is going to be awesome.
Rating: 100/100
Great show as always. And incredible matches, and feuds, promos. As, we look forward to No Mercy.

RAW
Recap of last week on RAW
the show opens with Mick Foley in the ring. Mick talks about Clash of Champions in two weeks.
He brings out Charlotte to discuss the upcoming Women's Championship match against Sasha Banks. She is flanked by Dana Brooke as usual.
Charlotte says she has something to get off her chest tonight. She says an apology is in order, and when Brooke thinks it's about her, Charlotte says she would never apologize to Brooke.
She says Dana caused her to lose to Bayley and made a fool of herself for ending up in the Bank Statement. Brooke says she is sorry, but it seems halfhearted. '
This brings out The Boss.
Before anyone can say anything important, Bayley comes out to join the party.
Bayley thinks she should get a title shot after pinning Charlotte last week, but she seems hesitant to say it. Banks says they go way back, but when it comes to the title, she has no friends.
Brooke suggest Banks and Bayley fight for who should get the title shot and Charlotte tells her to shut up, threatening to slap her again.
Foley books Banks vs. Bayley for a title shot tonight and winner faces Charlotte at Clash of Champions . Charlotte gets pissed at Dana, and Dana slaps the taste out of her mouth.
The crowd chants Yes as Brooke is added to the No. 1 contender's match. The match is next.
Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Dana Brooke w/Charlotte on commentary.
Winner will face Charlotte at Clash of Champions for RAW Women's Championship.
Sasha Banks wins and faces Charlotte at Clash of Champions for RAW Women's Championship.
Bo Dallas vs. Brandon Scott
Bo Dallas won
Highlight Reel with guest Sami Zayn
After putting over Owens, he brings out Zayn, who he says is at the bottom. Zayn sarcastically thanks him for the introduction.
Sami asks why he is even there, and Jericho asks him why he would blow his friendship with KO.
Zayn says Jericho is a stupid idiot if he believes Owens actually cares about him, and the crowd starts chanting Stupid Idiot at him.
They go back and forth insulting each other until Zayn says Jericho was a big inspiration for he and Owens only to now be Owens' b****.
Jericho takes a cheap shot and hits the Codebreaker on Zayn before leaving the ring.
Cesaro vs. Sheamus in match 5 in the best out of 7 series
Currently 3-1
Cesaro won
Now 3-2
Chris Jericho vs. Sami Zayn is announced for Clash of Champions.
Nia Jax vs. Alicia Fox
No contest.
Jax grabs her by the hair and slings her into the barricade a few times before tossing her aside like she is nothing. She drives Fox through the barricade with a Spear and the ref comes out to check on her.
It looks like the match might be over as a few more officials come out to keep Jax away from Fox while they check on her. Nothing is announced, so it looks like this is declared a no contest.
The New Day head to the ring
Woods talks about how Gallows and Anderson tried to be entertaining last week, and he gets upset because being entertaining is The New Day's thing.
They criticize the Old Day skit from last week, and Kofi even references when Woods was being hypnotized by Bray Wyatt.
As expected, Gallows and Anderson come out.

Owens follows up and sends him into the barricade and the steel steps. Seth Rollins attacks Owens from behind and the ref calls for the bell.
KO won by DQ
Foley comes out as officials separate Rollins from Owens. Mick yells at him for not listening to his orders from earlier.
Foley restarts the match.
KO won.
Rusev cost a distraction for reigns which gave the win to KO
Rusev then attacked Reigns, and put him in the accolade, and him standing tall, while Lana looks on from the ramp.
So I am assuming we'll see Reigns vs. Rusev at Clash of Champions? For the US Championship.
I guess will see.
Rating:
50/50
Decent show leading to Clash of Champions. And also, great main event, and backstage moments.

RAW
We seen a recap of last weeks RAW main event, and seeing Triple H returning and coming out of nowhere and turning on Seth Rollins allowing Kevin Owens to become the Universal Champion!
Mick Foley and Stephanie are shown talking about what happened last week. Foley wants to know why Stephanie hasn't returned his calls. She claims to have had no idea Triple H was returning last week.
Stephanie says she was embarrassed last week.
Stephanie and Mick are in the ring to welcome Kevin Owens, who comes out wearing a suit.
Owens says the celebration was everything he had hoped for, and when the fans chant "You deserve it", he says he knows he does.
Then he says he doesn't deserve a crowd full of idiots trying to steal his thunder.
Seth Rollins' music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Rollins gets in Stephanie's face and asks how she could do this to him.
KO and Rollins exchange some harsh words and he accuses Stephanie of lying about not knowing Triple H would interfere.
Rollins attacks Owens and sends him out of the ring. Stephanie says Rollins is suspended indefinitely and Foley pipes in saying "No he's not."
He suggests giving Rollins a rematch for the title instead, and he books the match for Clash of Champions.
Charlotte vs. Bayley w/ Dana Brooke at ringside
Bayley won
Bo Dallas vs. Kyle Roberts

Gallows and Anderson are in the ring when we return talking about how they will retire New Day as tag champs. They bring out three old guys dressed as The New Day
the real New Day come out.
New Day eventually chase Anderson and Gallows out of the ring before showing the imposters how it's done.
One of the guys tries to hit Big E with his cane, but it does nothing to Big E. New Day attack their imposters and send them out of the ring.
The New Day will face Gallows & Anderson at Clash of Champions for the Tag Team Championship
Darren Young vs. Jinder Mahal W/ Titus O'Neil at commentary
Darren Young won even with the appearance of Titus, and then Darren attacked Titus O'Neil at ringside from behind, and it took refs to get them apart, and ended with Darren and Bob Backlund standing tall in the ring.
Alicia Fox and Nia Jax have a confrontation backstage and it looks like Foxy is channeling her old crazy gimmick!
Braun Strowman vs. Sin Cara
Braun Strowman won via Countout
Braun attacks Sin Cara after the match!
Sasha Banks comes out
Banks looks a little emotional as Sasha chants break out in the crowd. She talks about how every story has a final chapter.
She talks about the original women's revolution in WWE and how they laid the foundation for what the current division is doing.
She makes fun of bra and panties matches and the " stupid" butterfly title before talking about how much it means to be called Superstars.
Banks starts to tear up as she talks about why she does what she does in the ring. She says SummerSlam pushed her beyond her limits.
She says she met with doctors today, but as she is about to reveal what it is, Dana Brooke heads to the ring. She puts over Charlotte despite having been hit in the face by her earlier in the night.
She says she will use Banks and her broken body to finish what Charlotte started.
Banks ends up putting her into the Bank Statement and then picks up a mic to say the bad news she had was for Charlotte because she will get a rematch at Clash of Champions.
That promo was powerful. And I ain't going to lie listening to her speak I thought the worst, but I look forward to her getting her title back.
Maybe we'll get Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley at Clash of Champions for the Women's Championship. I think that would be incredible.
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
Kevin Owens won.
Roman Reigns comes out,
They come face to face, but Owens decides to retreat. This brings out Chris Jericho to put Reigns at a disadvantage. Before anything can happen. Foley's music hits.
Foley says Reigns will face Owens next week, and if Reigns wins, the Clash of Champions main event will be a Triple Threat.
The show ends with Reigns in the ring and Owens heading up the ramp. Jericho tries to attack Reigns from behind, but he gets Speared.
Rating:
50/50
Great show, and matches, and build up to Clash of Champions.
