Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up, and introduces everyone to the newest member of SmackDown Live: United States Champion Chris Jericho, who heads to the ring and declares SmackDown Live "the new Show of Jericho." Shane announces that Jericho will defend the United States title tonight against Kevin Owens. Suddenly, AJ Styles shows up and tells him that SmackDown Live is the house that AJ Styles built, and says nothing would please him more than taking the US title from him at Backlash, assuming Jericho is still champion after tonight. Jericho reminds Styles about how he beat Kevin Owens last Sunday night, and is about to put Styles on The List when Kevin Owens shows up. He says that what is happening in the ring is the most pathetic thin he has seen in his career, and that he will take the US title back. He also tells Styles to get out of the ring as this does not even concern him. Styles gets out of the ring, walks up to Owens and proceeds to beat him up.
