AJ Styles shows up to start tonight's show. He says that if Kevin Owens was the face of America, he is a bit of an upgrade. He then says that it is not about Kevin Owens, but the United States title. He mentions John Cena's U.S. Open Challenge, and says it is time to bring it back, as the US title has been overlooked for too long, and from now on, whenever you see someone with the US title around their waist, you know they are the best. He then issues an open challenge, which is answered by John Cena. Cena asks Styles if he allowed to answer the open challenge, as a reference to Kevin Owens not wanting to face AJ Styles or Chris Jericho will US champ. Styles says he's allowed to take him on. John Cena accepts the challenge, then Kevin Owens shows up and says nobody wants to see them in a match again, and that everyone should care about him. He tells Cena to get out of the ring. Cena tells Owens the problem is that he doesn't want to see him, but that he can't see him, and if he wants him out of the ring, he will have to get in the ring and do something about it. After that, he'll go through AJ Styles. All of a sudden, Rusev Spears Cena from behind, and Owens gets in the ring to fight Styles. Owens hits Styles with a pop-up powerbomb, while Rusev beats Cena down and puts him in the Accolade.
John Cena and AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens is official for later tonight.
Jinder Mahal beats "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger. After the match, Mahal says he speaks the truth week after week but is still disrespected, and that everyone still cheers for Orton.

After this, Charlotte wants to know how Lana is in this match, while Tamina, Natalya and Lana tell her to shut up while Natalya tells Charlotte she is riding on family coattails. Becky notes the irony of Natalya being part of the Hart family. Shane then makes Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch vs. Natalya and Tamina for later tonight. Everyone leaves, then Carmella shows up with a petition from her attorney asking that James Ellsworth be unsuspended. Shane takes the petition and tears it up, and tells her to take that to her attorney.

"The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin ends before it can begin when Nakamura attacks Corbin before the bell rings, and referees and officials have to pull both men apart.
AJ Styles meets up with John Cena in the locker room. Cena tells him the open challenge is a great idea, but tells him to hold off on it until he's gone again because he knows he will accept the challenge. Styles says he knew he would be the first person to accept the open challenge, and that he will be holding the United States title for a long time. He has also not forgotten what happened the last time they were both in the ring together. Cena says he respects Styles for wanting to take on the best, and that respect is earned, not given. He tells him he will handle his business with the US title later. Tonight, he has his back.

Sami Zayn finds Maria and Mike Kanellis. Maria demands an apology. Sami says he's done that twice, and finds an apology pointless. Sami says it's them who are in the way, not the other way around. He comes to the conclusion that Mike is the lover, and Maria is the fighter. Maria slaps Sami and Mike hits him with a vase. Maria tells Sami that was brought to him by the power of love, and that sometimes, love hurts.
