Charlotte Flair appears to start tonight's show. Last week, she arrived at SmackDown Live, and she wants to know why she has not been granted a SmackDown Women's title match yet. Naomi shows up instead of Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan, who tells Charlotte there are no kings or queens on SmackDown Live, but there are champions, and she finds it amazing she's begging for a title shot. Naomi decides to give her what she wants, right here, right now...and belts her in the face. Shane finally dances in and makes the match official, then Shane tells Charlotte she has to earn her opportunities here. If Charlotte beats Naomi tonight, she'll be able to face her again for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship next week. After this, Charlotte and Naomi continue to brawl.
Natalya confronts Commissioner Shane McMahon for giving Charlotte Flair a chance at a title shot. Carmella shows up with James Ellsworth, and agrees with Natalya, but James Ellsworth says Carmellla should be the face of SmackDown Live, not Natalya. Tamina also shows up, also angry about Charlotte Flair getting a chance at a title shot. After some arguing, Natalya tells Carmella and Tamina that she has a plan. The three of them then leave.
Jinder Mahal beats Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper and Mojo Rawley in a Six-Pack Challenge to become #1 contender for the WWE Championship after The Bollywood Boyz (Harv and Gurv Sihra) crawl out of the ring and stop Sami Zayn from hitting Jinder with his Helluva Kick. Renee Young interviews Jinder Mahal after the match, and Jinder Mahal accuses the crowd of racism for booing him before announcing that they will accept him as their new WWE Champion. After the match, Randy Orton shows up and congratulates him, but tells him his prize won't be the WWE Championship. Instead, it will be an RKO. Before he can take out Jinder, he's got to take out Bray Wyatt and burn down his House of Horrors. Bray appears on the TitanTron, and wants Orton to feel his pain. Bray then states that nothing will compare to the House of Horrors, and promises that Orton won't be able to walk out.
We get a look at "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura.
Renee Young interviews AJ Styles, who doesn't care who he faces for the United States Championship. Baron Corbin suddenly shows up and says Styles didn't pin him and that he and Sami Zayn stuck their noses in his business. Styles says he's in the business of winning, and tells Corbin he can give him an encore performance tonight. Corbin says he's okay with that, and tells Styles to just remember that "he asked for it."

Kevin Owens quickly beats Gary Gandy in a Face of America Challenge. Before the match, Owens dismisses ring announcer Greg Hamilton and introduces himself (and hails from Montreal, Quebec, Canada as opposed to Marieville) before asking his opponent to state his name. After the match, he tells "the lazy citizens of the United States of America" to shut up, put the hot dogs down and listen to him as he states that he will become "The Face of America" and that Chris Jericho and AJ Styles will not take the United States title from him. He then guests on commentary for the next match.
