• Paul Levesque & Nick Aldis introduced the SmackDown Tag Team Champions A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller). After some bragging from Theory & Waller, Levesque presented a new set of titles for them before naming them the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Levesque went to shake their hands, but Waller left Levesque hanging. Aldis said that if they tried to pull a stunt like that again, he would guarantee that A-Town Down Under would cease to exist in WWE. This segment was followed up with the #1 Contender’s Match for the new titles.

• Nick Aldis confronted Paul Heyman in the parking lot, where he showed the cars of Kevin Owens & Tama Tonga. Aldis told Heyman to keep The Bloodline in control because Tama Tonga’s actions would have repercussions for the WWE Draft. After all, losing was not the only thing that had consequences.
