"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cody talks about his match with Kevin Owens at Saturday Night's Main Event before American Made (Chad Gable, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile) shows up. Gable says they are here because the transfer window is about to open and that General Manager Nick Aldis is about to bring him to the blue brand, then says the fans in Minnesota are simple-minded and offers to speak the truth to them and Cody. Gable goes on to call Cody a beacon of what he wanted to be, then says that while it is easy to look the part, it is harder to be a good friend like Kevin Owens. He then calls Otis "a bad friend" who left him high and dry like Cody did to Owens. Gable says that Cody is not only "a terrible friend," but also "the definition of superficial," as he only cares about what everyone thinks about him, and if others have to fall by the wayside, so be it. He then says that he would never team with the one guy who made Owens' life a living hell like Cody did, and tells Cody that he deserve what is coming to him. Cody says he is disappointed that Gable is spewing vitriol at him when he sees a lot of himself in Gable, as he has taken things that were not necessarily special and made them special, then brings up the "Shorty G" gimmick. This leads to a "Shorty G" chant before telling Gable that he is looking at "Stardust," which leads to a "Stardust" chant, then says he knows why Gable has garnered the fans' attention and what he is aiming for, then says Gable has so much to lose when he fails again. Cody says that if he learned anything from WrestleMania 39, he could look nowhere else but himself, and asks what happens when Gable goes for his end game again and does not get it before stating that he will take his anger out on the rest of American Made. Gable says that he is a man who will always take an opportunity and that he would whup Cody's ass if he was not wearing a suit right now. Cody tells him to talk to Nick Aldis and get a match with him tonight, then warns Gable that having Kevin Owens on his mind is no good for him.

Nakamura stays silent, and Knight says Nakamura has only sneak attacked him and hit him with the mist. Knight then puts his sunglasses on and threatens to beat Nakamura up, then Andrade shows up and says he is here for Nakamura, but Knight says Nakamura is in debt. All of a sudden, Andrade and Knight are attacked by Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu.

Andrade and Knight both end up recipients of a Samoan Spike by Solo, then Solo proclaims that his Bloodline is still powerful and dares anyone to take a shot at him so they can lay them out. Solo says he is tried of people not taking him seriously and thinking he is a joke, then says that he is still Tribal Chief and the head of the table and that he still has the ula fala.

He says that he will cross the bridge with Sami Zayn when he comes to it and that The Usos were going to rejoin Roman Reigns anyway.
