Live Coverage.

• Corey Graves & Wade Barrett welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
• A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) kicked off the show by hosting a new edition of "The Grayson Waller Effect", with WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes as the special guest. Waller continued to interrupt Rhodes's entrance, saying that he was the hero of the story because they did not know "the real" version of him and said he was only using his "friends" (Kevin Owens & Randy Orton). Rhodes put over Owens as a competitor and a friend before asking Waller if he was just using Theory, emphasizing that everyone noticed Waller was using him and they were waiting for Theory to notice him. Waller responded by showing a video package of the multiple times Owens had betrayed his friends to get what he wanted.
  This immediately backfired on Waller as Owens made his appearance. Owens said he did not have the kind of relationship he had with everyone else he turned against before asking Nick Aldis to come to the ring and make a tag match main event to evade any more nonsense. After Aldis made the match official, Owens asked Aldis if he could still attack A-Town Down Under, to which Aldis responded by asking him to "make it quick". Owens & Rhodes then brawled with A-Town Down Under to end the segment.

• The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga) came to the ring for a promo ahead of Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu's title match. Sikoa addressed three items: Item number one was that Roman Reigns was "done". Item number two was that he had next from whoever wins between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes to bring back the WWE Undisputed Title to The Bloodline. Item number three was Sikoa saying there was an issue with the tag titles. Sikoa then called Fatu and told him to give the title to Tonga Loa because he could not be a tag champion while injured. The Pride (Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab) interrupted and said it was "demotion season" for The Bloodline.

• Kevin Owens & Cody Rhodes spoke backstage ahead of their match against A-Town Down Under and hoped Rhodes understood what he meant earlier tonight on his promo, to which Rhodes responded by saying that he would take his word and go from there.
