It's time for Miz TV. The Miz has gathered some interesting guest's for tonight's installment: The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman). Wyatt tells Miz not to sit down, as he is not safe here. Miz insists he is not Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns' partner at Night of Champions. Wyatt makes it clear that he wants Ambrose and Reigns to suffer, and for people to pay for their sins. As for what he wants most, he wants the WWE Universe to know that regardless of how many people show up Sunday night, he wants those people to know that they all fall down. Ambrose and Reigns show up, then Ambrose beats up The Miz before he and Reigns stare down with The Wyatt Family. Reigns tells Wyatt he makes him sick, especially after they took out Randy Orton and Jimmy Uso, and that Wyatt will pay for the latter. Reigns says that Wyatt has to surround himself with monsters because he can't beat him by himself, then tells Wyatt they've found a third person for their team.

Ryback is in the ring. He is proud to stand inside as Intercontinental Champion in Memphis, Tennessee, especially since Kevin Owens has him all shook up. He knows Kevin has no respect for him, the ring and what it means to be a champion. Owens shows up soon after Ryback says that, and Owens talks about how Ryback mentioned how the book "The Secret" helped him overcome tough times as well as recent injury. Owens has read the book - which he has brought with him - and says he feels sorry for him and anybody who's read "this piece of garbage." Ryback says the only piece of garbage he sees is Owens, who says the book is an excuse and a crutch for weak people. He can't blame Ryback for reading it, but he can blame him for being both the strongest and the weakest guy in the locker room, and says it's a travesty that he's the Intercontinental Champion. Ryback tells Kevin Owens what he's all about, and respects Owens' long road to where he is now. He admits he had an elevator ride to the top and fell flat on his face, but he has since picked himself back up and got back up to where he is now. Owens tells him that the first chance he gets, he's going to take the Intercontinental Championship. Ryback tells him that he'll get his chance at Night of Champions, as he's asked Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for this match. Owens walks away soon after.

Charlotte beat Nikki Bella to win the WWE Divas Championship...by beating Brie. Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) tries to run interference, but it backfires. Stephanie McMahon shows up and declares that Charlotte is winner, but only by disqualification as Brie Bella put her hands on Charlotte.
