Sami tells Roman he isn’t even as good as the Usos and then the Usos attack Sami and Kevin. Roman then yells at the Usos and says this is my ring and I didn’t tell you to come out here. He walks out in the ring but shoulder bumps Sikoa on his way out.

Back in the locker room Roman is yelling at the Usos and tells them to get out.

Grayson Waller makes his Smackdown debut with the Grayson Waller Effect show with guest AJ Styles. Grayson first says AJ is a first-round Hall of Famer and then asks AJ what winning the new World Title would mean to him.

AJ said he sat home with an injury, and it was the longest he has been away from the ring in his entire career and when he got cleared, he got on it and he knew there would be an opportunity and here it is, and he want this new championship more than the air that he breathes.

They then talk about Seth “Freakin” Rollins being on a movie set and AJ said he is happy for him. Grayson stands up and says he is ready for the end of the match when they announce the new World Heavyweight champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins. This led to a stare down and words exchanged off mic between the two.

In the back, the L.W.O. are talking about their match tonight.

Austin Theory is out to the ring next. Austin says Lashley and Sheamus double teamed him and Lashley is following him. Sheamus comes out and Austin says you have something to say and Sheamus gave him a Brogue Kick and left the ring.

The Usos are in the back getting ready and Paul Heyman comes and says the Tribal Chief forgives you. Paul tells them the Tribal Chief will not be with them tonight, but they don’t need him, it’s the L.W.O. and you’re the Usos you can beat them and don’t make that a prediction, make that a spoiler.
