Becky Lynch heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Becky says she is glad to be back and on top, and that she missed the fans. She says that when she had to give up the Raw Women's Championship, it was one of the hardest things to do as she was also giving up an identity. She says she had to work back to where she once was, and while she has a new life and new priorities, and she is deadler than ever now that she has a family to fight for. On the subject of SummerSlam, Becky says she is sorry for absolutely nothing, as she has been in WWE long enough to know that everything is about timing and preparation, and all she needed was an opportunity. Suddenly, Bianca Belair shows up. Bianca says she is not here to make excuses, and tells Becky Lynch that she is not okay with what happened at SummerSlam, as she has been working too hard and too long for Becky to erase it all in twenty-six seconds. She then proposes that the two of them tear it down for the SmackDown Women's Championship tonight, then Zelina Vega shows up and says Bianca has been reduced to crying for a rematch. Zelina tells Bianca that she has embarrassed herself once before and that nobody wants to see that again, and that she should fall back and let her have the match with Becky Lynch. Suddenly, Carmella shows up. Carmella tells both Bianca and Zelina to step out of the way so Becky Lynch faces the most beautiful woman in WWE, then mentions being Sasha Banks' last-minute replacement before Becky showed up. Suddenly, Liv Morgan arrives. Liv says Carmella and Zelina are undeserving of the title picture when they lose week after week, and tells Becky that if she is looking for a contender, she is right here. Bianca tells Carmella, Zelina and Liv that they have lost their minds and that this is all between her and Becky, then asks Becky to give the people the match they want, which is the two of them tonight. Becky says "Nah," and leaves. After Becky leaves, Zelina and Carmella make fun of Bianca, and Bianca punches Zelina. As Carmella attacks Bianca, Liv pushes Carmella out of the ring. Zelina and Carmella keep Bianca out of the ring, but Liv levels them, too.
Bianca Belair beats Zelina Vega, Carmell and Bianca Belair in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match to face Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

Suddenly, the door opens and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) come out, saying Roman has not arrived yet. When The Usos ask if Heyman will re-join Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman asks why he would tear down all they have worked to build up and that he did not know Lesnar would be here. When The Usos asks why they were sent back to the locker room, Heyman says Roman sent the order, not him, but The Usos doubt this.

Happy Corbin heads to the ring. He asks the fans if they ever thought he would have a smile again, saying he thought his career and life was over and at rock bottom, but now, he looks incredible. Corbin also says that he did it all by himself and that he is the happiest man in the world before we see a video package where Corbin goes from rags to riches after taking $35 and getting lucky in the Las Vegas casinos. Corbin then says he was "the mayor of Jackpot City" and says he deserves it after betting on himself, and says he has new expensive clothes and that his wife welcomed him home with roast beef on the table. Corbin says again that he deserves it, then asks the fans to call him "Happy Corbin" before saying that there is something that could make him happier and asks Big E to come to the ring. Big E arrives. Big E says he is happy for Corbin and glad he does not smell anymore, and Corbin makes up for stealing the Money In The Bank contract by buying it for $20,000. Big E declines. Corbin goes for $50,000. Big E declines again. Corbin says Big E might cash in and lose it, and after Big E reminds Corbin that he also cashed in and lost it, Corbin admits he did and puts out one last offer: $100,000. Big E is tempted, but he says "Hell no." He then says he has a list of things Corbin can spend $100,000 on, such as a half-eaten sandwich, a pencil he found outside, and an Arkansas Razorback plushie. Corbin says it is fine, and that he is way too rich and way too happy for this. He then tells Big E to be miserable, cash in, lose and regret not taking the $100,000. Big E tells Corbin he is tired of him and his game and tells him to leave before he slaps him. Corbin leaves.
We hear from Edge, who says he defeated a generational talent in Seth Rollins. He says he does not like having to go to a dark place to find a savage version of himself, as it affected him wherever he went, but he did it. Edge says that the albatross around his neck that is Seth Rollins is over and done with, and that he is now moving on to the WWE Universal Championship. We then hear from Seth Rollins, who says that he has only one thing to say to Edge: congratulations. He says he has had a week to think about things, as it has been a great match and a great victory for Edge while it was a loss for him. He says their match taught him something about himself, and as much as he hates to admit this, Edge has his respect and admiration for what he has done for himself, and says that if he has to fight his way to the Universal Championship, he should be more like him.
