Before the next match, Jeff Hardy says that demons are all around us, tempting us, taunting us and tearing us apart at times. He has had his share of demons, but he stands before the fans a better man. He says they will always be around and the only way to deal with them is to tackle them head-on. On Sunday, he will deal with one in the form of a serpent in Hell In A Cell, and while Randy Orton may think he will inflict pain, he does not know an opponent like him who has dealt with his own personal Hell. While Orton may be a demon, he is a daredevil, and he has no fear. Jeff says he has prepared his entire life for this, and he will unleash an entire lifetime of suffering, pain and agony on Orton until he fades away and classifies himself as obsolete. As for tonight, he cleanses himself of a demon of his recent path in "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura. After this, he is going straight to Hell.
Jeff Hardy beats "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura by disqualification. After the match, Randy Orton rams Jeff Hardy's head into the steel steps outside of the ring, then grabs a steel chair and smacks it into his back. Orton continues to hit Jeff Hardy with the steel chair, then lies in wait for the RKO. Jeff Hardy sees it coming and goes for the Twist of Fate, but after Orton escapes it, Jeff Hardy hits Orton with the chair. Jeff Hardy hits the Twist of Fate on Orton followed by the Swanton Bomb.
Kayla Braxton interviews The Miz and Maryse. The Miz cuts Kayla off, and says that tonight, his wife is taking the spotlight, and he demands a little respect by having Maryse's name announced first. Maryse says it took Daniel Bryan three years to get back in the ring, and that it took her five months after giving birth to come back. She is ready to go out there tonight, make Miz proud and show her daughter how to punch Brie Bella in the face. The Miz then calls Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan's marriage "a marriage of convenience," as he needs Brie Bella to fight his battles and cannot possibly fluster his wife.
We see footage from earlier today where "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles says that Samoa Joe knows his temper is his greatest temper, and that the easiest way to get him to lose it is to involve his wife and daughter in their feud. He knows that Joe wants to get into his head to get an advantage, but after 20 years of friendship, he knows a lot about Joe, too. He knows about Joe's family, and between the two of them, he would never mess with another man's family due to his integrity. He says that Joe's strength are running his mouth, intimidation and being a piece of garbage, but that will all be his weakness as nobody will have the upper hand on him and the talking will stop and the intimidation will end. Styles says that Joe has gotten a taste of what happens when he talks about his family, and on Sunday, he will learn how phenomenal he is, as SmackDown Live is the house that he built. He says that it is not for rent, and he is "for damn sure" that it is not for sale.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Charlotte Flair. Charlotte has asked for a match tonight because she thrives on competition. She says that unlike Becky Lynch, she doesn't just talk about it; she does it. She says that Becky is the one with the opportunity and the one who is insecure, not her, and that Becky will learn it is easier to talk the talk on Sunday. She hopes that Becky is watching tonight.

Naomi and Asuka leave after some comedic banter between each other, during which Naomi confused the world "kagayaki" (a Japanese word meaning "to shine") with "teriyaki."
Brie Bella beats Maryse by disqualification in what is Maryse's first match on SmackDown Live in over eight years. During the match, Brie grabs the microphone and tells Maryse that she always knew she was a little coward. Miz grabs a microphone, taking offense to that statement, and says Brie doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as Maryse. Miz then says that Brie - and the entire city they are in - do not deserve this match, and says this match is over. He says that he and Maryse will see her and Daniel Bryan at Hell In A Cell. As Miz and Maryse leave, Brie runs up to Maryse, sends her back to the ring and goes on the attack. The match ends with The Miz dragging Brie out of the ring during a Yes! Lock. Daniel Bryan goes after The Miz, and as he does, Brie is suddenly hurt by The Miz, and The Miz attacks Daniel Bryan from behind as he checks on Brie. Maryse then attacks Brie Bella from behind, but Brie fights back with a Lou Thesz Press. Miz gets back in the ring, but Brie sees him coming. Maryse goes for a French Kiss DDT, but Daniel Bryan attacks The Miz after Brie reverses the DDT. Brie punches Miz in the face, then Daniel Bryan clotheslines Miz out of the ring.
