Sami Zayn tells Nick Aldis he is on SmackDown to see if he can get some revenge on the New Bloodline. Carmelo Hayes interrupts their conversation, so Zayn crumples his card to Nick and throws it at his head. Zayn asks Aldis for a match with Hayes, and the GM agrees.
#2. Braun Strowman vs. Austin Theory (w/ Grayson Waller) – Winner: Braun Strowman
After Nick Aldis earlier offered an ultimatum, Kevin Owens believes he deserves the Winged Eagle Championship. He is the rightful WWE Champion. But he will agree to meet him, so long as there is no security.
Chelsea Green has a championship celebration. They did it! They have officially turned the blue brand in to the green house. She would like to give recognition to the woman has seen her through it all. And that woman is herself. If not for her, these people would be stuck with one of those she-trolls in the back. As for Michin… good riddance. Lastly, she challenges the fans to ask themselves what Chelsea Green can do for them, but what they can do for Chelsea Green.
Michin interrupts this. She is taking a page out of her book, as she introduces Chelsea to her kendo stick friend. After taking out Piper Niven, Michin enters the ring. A scared Chelsea Green gets out of there untouched.
Backstage, Nick Aldis asks around to see who attacked the Street Profits. Pretty Deadly blame it on Angel Garza, although it was probably DIY. Profits go looking for Legado Del Fantasma and a fight breaks out.
#3. Street Profits vs. Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo (w/ Elektra Lopez) – Winners: Street Profits
Backstage, Apollo Crews reveals to Street Profits and Motor City Machine Guns that it was DIY who attacked Profits. He knows that because he saw it happen.
#4. Sami Zayn vs. Carmelo Hayes – Winner: No Contest
This match was thrown out after Strowman chased Hayes away, and the New Bloodline showed up to attack Zayn. Strowman returned to the ring to help out, but the numbers game caught up with him. Officials made their way out there to stop this, but it only really did because The Bloodline decided to. And as they posed in the ring, Kevin Owens enters.
After the break, Nick Aldis asks Kevin Owens to give the title back. KO says he won’t give it back until he gets a rematch with a fair referee who won’t rob him of his victory. Aldis reminds him that this isn’t a negotiation. He either hands it over, or he never steps foot in a WWE ring again. Cody Rhodes enters. Aldis asks him to turn around, walk away, and let him handle this. Rhodes tells him he isn’t walking away, and respectfully, he doesn’t want KO to hand over the title. He doesn’t want him to become a martyr.
Cody isn’t doing this for himself anymore, he does it for his family, the fans, and his colleagues. It is Cody’s responsibility to take back the title. He wants a match where the referee cannot stop what he is going to do to him. Cody suggests they settle this in a ladder match. Nick Aldis confirms the ladder match will take place at the Royal Rumble. Kevin Owens likes the sound of that. He extends his arm out for a handshake, but Cody does not shake. As KO begins walking away, he aggressively pushes Aldis in to Cody. The show ends with KO holding up the Winged Eagle Championship.
