• Nick Aldis spoke with Nia Jax to see if she knew who was behind Jade Cargill being attacked, but Jax said she wanted to take care of her on War Games.
• WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes came to the ring to call out Kevin Owens for their face-to-face. Owens appeared from the crowd and said he felt insulted because "The Great Cody Rhodes" wanted him here but Rhodes was wearing a tracksuit while he had his best outfit (sweat pants and a sleeveless tuxedo-themed t-shirt). Owens said it was Rhodes's fault he Piledrove Orton because Rhodes somehow decided to team with Roman Reigns after everything he had done, especially with Owens's fighting The Bloodline for four years. Rhodes responded by saying he teamed with Reigns because he felt it was the right thing at the time and said Owens was causing self-sabotage for trying to be the top guy of the company. Rhodes said he would beat sense into Owens, no matter where it would be and the ball was in Owens's court. Owens responded by saying they would do it on his own time.
• The OG Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso & Sami Zayn) spoke about trying to find a 5th member of War Games. Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes were pitched, but Roman Reigns shut those down quickly and said they did not need a fifth. When asked what would be the strategy, Reigns said he did not know.
