Rey was boiling from inside and he was the one to start the talking. He started by saying- “I acknowledge you Roman..I acknowledge you for the rat bastard that you are.” He continued bragging about him more and said that he wants to find him inside the Hell in a Cell.
Just when Roman Reigns was about to acknowledge the challenge, Rey attacked him with a kendo stick. He kept on hitting the Kendo stick until it was broken. Reigns regained some life and hit back Rey with a Superman punch. When Reigns was setting up for a Spear on Rey, Dominik came out of nowhere and attacked Roman with severe kendo stick strikes.

However, Roman caught him and power bombed him outside the ring. Once again Rey struck Roman with a Kendo stick from behind to take him out of the ring. But, when he got near his son to check on him, Roman ended the segment with a boot on Rey’s face.
Backstage- Roman Reigns visits The Usos locker room, but before he could start, Jimmy lashed with his words on Roman. Jimmy said to Roman that he is tired of him with the Head of the Table shit. He said let’s just end this with a fight. Reigns however said- What are you doing Jimmy? Why do you want to fight me? I am doing all this for us, I want all of us to be together. You are the older one and you should understand that this is all for us, for our family. Once Roman was done talking, Jimmy walked away.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. King Corbin- The rivalry between Nakamura and Corbin continued this week as well. As the match started, Rick Boogs played his guitar to distract Corbin. Nakamura took advantage and was the first one to start the offense. Corbin, however, took control soon and planted a Deep 6 on the Japanese star. He looked good until a roll-up pin cost him the match. Nakamura secured yet another win over Corbin and also walked out with the Crown in his posession.

Chad Gable vs. Montez Ford- The two stiff competitors got a roll-up throw on each other. A classic display of wrestling moves was on display from Chad Gable to take down Ford. Chad went for arm drags and looked in control. The momentum shifted soon though as Ford was countering Gable’s moves with some classic moves of his own. He then threw Gable out of the ring and dived onto him from the ropes.

Bayley’s Ding Dong Hello- Special guest Seth Rollins- Rollins looked excited about the interview and termed the show as a “proper” show and a “proper” interview, unlike the last week. He first praised Bayley for what she is doing to Belair for the past few weeks and termed her a master manipulator. The two then started laughing in ecstasy. Bayley then played a clip of Seth Rollins knocking out Cesaro three weeks ago on WWE Smackdown. After watching the clip, it was pin-drop silence at first, but the two again started laughing with ecstasy.

Just when the two were laughing, Cesaro made a surprise visit and laid a furious attack on Rollins. He not only attacked him but also humiliated him by taking off his pants. After Cesaro was done, Bianca’s music hit, and the Smackdown Women’s Champion came out. She mocked Bayley by laughing at her while Bayley was standing in the ring unamused.

Back in the ring- Jimmy Uso makes his way to the ring. He talks about the fact that last week due to the referee’s mistake The Usos lost the match. He then blamed Roman Reigns that in the second match of the day, he stuck his nose in their business and cost them the match.

"I feel like you got us disqualified on purpose." 😳
