During the pre-show, Charly Caruso says that Nikki Bella is sharp and focused for her match against Alexa Bliss and is getting ready to take on that "East River rat" Carmella. Also, Miz TV is a go tonight with Dolph Ziggler as the special guest, and Bray Wyatt will be facing Kane tonight.
Kane beats Bray Wyatt by count-out after Randy Orton appears on the TitanTron, saying that he is viewing the world the way he sees it and that he will turn his world right-side up. After he dares Wyatt to "come catch his prey," Kane is back up and fights Wyatt again, but Wyatt leaves the ring.
Charly Caruso interviews Baron Corbin, who says that Jack Swagger is dumber than he looks if he thinks he can make waves, and if he's stupid enough to get in the ring with him, he'll leave him lying where he stands. Corbin runs into Swagger, who wants to see who the better man is between them. Corbin says he only does his talking in the ring, and Swagger says he's going to Daniel Bryan so he can "continue this conversation."
Bray Wyatt tells Randy Orton that his time is coming backstage.

Bray Wyatt continues to look for Randy Orton backstage. Bray then sees his rocking chair underneath a smoking brown light. We find out it is inside a container when Randy Orton closes and locks a slide-down door on Bray, and asks him what it's like when the hunter is now the hunted.

It's time for Miz TV, and tonight's special guest is Dolph Ziggler. Miz tells Ziggler his career could be over, but it will not be forgotten. We see a video package of Dolph Ziggler's career that mocks more than celebrates, and after Miz opens his mouth, Ziggler threatens to slap the hell out of him. Ziggler says that he has had some magical moments, and says he put his career on the line as he can't just walk away and yet if he can't deliver, he doesn't belong here. At the same time, Miz says he's not done yet, and that he will deliver Sunday and that The Miz won't take his career from him...ever. Miz says he has something to brighten his spirit after he ends Ziggler's career on Sunday: Kenny and Mikey from the Spirit Squad. An angered Dolph gets in Miz's face asking if he wants to go, but he gets attacked by Kenny and Mikey. Kenny and Mikey end up eating a superkick, but Miz ducks out of the ring before he eats one, too.
Bray Wyatt is still stuck in the storage container.

AJ Styles shows up. He says that SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity, and that he took his opportunity to be the new face that runs the place and became just that before becoming World Champion. Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up. Ambrose is not too thrilled about John Cena costing him last week's match. Cena shows up, and Styles tells Cena to shut up before he can even say a word, as he knows what he is going to say, saying it is an insult for Cena to compare himself to "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Styles tells Cena that he makes history while Cena chases it. Ambrose tells Cena to shut up, saying that Cena is going to spin anything he says. He tells Cena he can't work him, that Cena had no respect for him even when he came in and kissed his ass, and that he fought wars while John Cena was away doing other projects and whatnot. Cena fights both Styles and Ambrose. Cena stands tall at first, then Styles hits Cena with the Phenomenal Foream, then Ambrose hits Styles with Dirty Deeds.
On Talking Smack, AJ Styles shows up and says that his being underestimated has become key to his success, as he has risen above those underestimations, proven himself over and over again and has beaten opponents all around the world to win world titles, and become the best that he has ever been and risen to where he is now. He says he has been looked over before, and he has fought through that to become a champion. He proclaims that he will face anyone and everyone that Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon put in front of him, as he is a winner.
