Ricochet beats Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Rey Mysterio and Andrade in a gauntlet match to face "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles for the WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam. Sami Zayn is eliminated with an inside cradle by Rey after Rey ducks a big boot, and two referees have to hold Sami back after he is eliminated. After Andrade eliminates Rey, he rips at Rey Mysterio's mask and tears it up just before Ricochet runs in and fights him in the ring. After the match, Kayla Braxton interviews Ricochet, who says winning the United States title was so unbelievable he couldn't believe it, then says people believe only what they can see. After SummerSlam, everyone will believe, and so will he. Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles laughs at Ricochet's post-match comments.
Backstage, Mike Kanellis tells Maria Kanellis he won the WWE 24/7 Championship for them, then Maria tells Mike to get on his bike like he usually does so her baby can have a champion for a parent. Mike Kanellis gets on his back and Maria places her foot on top of him to win the WWE 24/7 Championship, then uses her pregnancy as a means of keeping people from attacking her, then tells everyone to come to her OB/GYN meeting on Thursday if they want to pin her.
It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. After Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross talk about Raw Reunion, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin closing out the show and Dolph Ziggler superkicking "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels on SmackDown Live, she says that Ziggler's actions were deplorable. Alexa then says that Ziggler is not the only person lacking a moral compass, and we see footage from earlier today where Becky Lynch attacks Fit Finley before going for the Dis-Arm-Her on Natalya. Alexa and Nikki question if someone like Becky Lynch should be Raw Women's Champion, and Alexa says she will make sure she knocks Becky down a few pegs when she faces her tonight. Becky then appears on the TitanTron, saying she can hear everything Alexa says and that Natalya has learned there is nowhere for her to run and hide. She then says she will see Alexa later.

Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler ends in a no-contest. During the match, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up, and Lesnar attacks Rollins, ending the match. After several ringside German suplexes, Lesnar hits Rollins with a F5 into the ring post before tossing Rollins into the ring, grabbing a steel chair and smacking Rollins with it. Rollins crawls to the bottom rope, but Lesnar grabs him and hits him with two more F5's, this time into an opened steel chair. Rollins is seen coughing up blood, and Heyman implores Lesnar to stop before Lesnar hits Rollins with another F5 into an opened steel chair.

Samoa Joe shows up. Joe announces that the "Samoan Summit" has been cancelled to "catastrophic failure of peace talks." He then says he is here to fight, not to talk, and calls out Roman Reigns so he can finish his beatdown. Roman Reigns shows up, and both men proceed to pummel each other. After Joe tosses Roman into the steel steps, Roman tosses the steps at Joe, then Drew McIntyre blindsides Roman only for Roman to smack him. Both McIntyre and Roman proceed to brawl in the crowd. Joe kicks Roman when they both get back over the barricade, then Joe and McIntyre take the boots to Roman in the ring until Cedric Alexander shows up to even the odds and save Roman. This comes to an end after Joe turns Cedric inside out with a clothesline, and McIntyre and Cedric go at it on the stage while Joe and Roman go in the ring. Joe and Roman's brawl soon goes to the announce table, and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) come to Roman's aid. The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) then go after The Usos, turning this into a multi-man brouhaha. Cedric Alexander is then seen on the minitron, where he takes out everybody else from above. McIntyre gets Cedric in the ring for a Claymore, but Cedric stops it with a drop kick. The O.C. knock Cedric off the top rope and almost hit him with Magic Killer, but Roman takes them and McIntyre out with Superman Punches.
