Cody Rhodes & Solo Sikoa Segment 

Cody Rhodes: So, Edmonton, what do we want to talk about? Wow, this is an extremely large crowd. If are you up there, say hello to our friends down here. Our friends down here, say hello to them up there. At Bash In Berlin, I was victorious, a hell of an outing by Canada’s own, Kevin Owens. I didn’t get to do this last week, because of the language barrier, but folks, we’ve got to welcome him back. The voice of the WWE, Michael Cole is back on SmackDown. I could go on further, but I have done this gig long enough to know, it is very likely, in any moment, I am going to be interrupted. Before I’m interrupted, however, allow me just to extend an invitation to The Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa: Well, I’m happy to see you guys, too. Cody, are you done? Are you done running your mouth to these people? Are you doing playing around? Are you ready to defend that Undisputed Title against a real challenger, like me? Because everybody knows it. You know it, and I know it. I could’ve been the champion. I had you beat at SummerSlam, if it wasn’t for Roman Reigns. So, I deserve a rematch.

Cody Rhodes: Certainly, the season premiere of SmackDown next week, there should be an Undisputed WWE Championship match. You, the formidable athlete. You, the effective and unhinged. You, truthfully, the number one contender in my book. You, the man who stepped outside the shadow of The Tribal Chief, a Tribal Chief that was trying to keep you down. You do indeed deserve a WWE Championship match. I’m not talking to you. I am talking to you, Jacob Fatu. Step up. I guess it was worth a shot, I mean, I’m crazy to wrestle any one of you, that’s for sure. But Solo, you believe it, don’t you? Every second, every minute, every hour, you indeed get better. And you sir are wearing the Ula Fala, which means The Bloodline revolves around you. But me, this, right here, the WWE Championship, the WWE revolves around this. And perhaps, one day, I will be looking up at those lights, courtesy of that iron thumb of yours. But I’ll tell you this, it sure as hell ain’t going to be next week.

Solo Sikoa: I see what you’re trying to do, right there. You’re trying to get my enforcer to turn on me. I see what you’re trying to do, okay? Cody, you want me next week? Guess what? You’re on. But we don’t have to wait till next week.

The Bloodline had a huge standoff with DIY and The Street Profits.

Nick Aldis: Woah, woah, woah. That’s enough, unless you want to be fined and suspended, I suggest you take a step back and simmer down. And that would be now. Bloodline, Profits, DIY, I know you want to tear each other apart. And guess what, you can, in the 8-Man Tag Team Match, in the main event of SmackDown, tonight. But not a moment sooner. Now, speaking of main events, next week, it’s Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. But Cody, I think you and I are on the same page, this whole Bloodline numbers game thing, it’s starting to get a little old, bad for business. So, I got a solution I think that’s best for business. That’s why, next week, Solo Sikoa, Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, in a Steel Cage.

– Pretty Deadly tries to hype up Tiffany Stratton ahead of her match with Bayley. They also take time to promote their upcoming musical. Nia Jax joins the conversation. The whole locker room is talking about how Tiffany was thinking about cashing in her MITB Briefcase, which is so stupid according to Nia. Tiffany says that she wouldn’t do that to her queen. She just wanted to help Nia. Chelsea Green is the one who continues to push that narrative. She’s jealous of their friendship. Nia knows that Tiffany would never lie to her. Nia would like to return the favor and help Tiffany during her match.

– Don’t forget, SmackDown will be returning to the USA Network next week.

– Kevin Owens runs into A-Town Down Under in the backstage area. Austin Theory implies that Kevin is a loser just like the Edmonton Oilers.

– We had back to Nick Aldis’ office as Chelsea Green starts complaining about how she was being treated at NXT this week. She pokes fun at Nick’s pocket square. Michin joins the conversation. Chelsea says that it’s fitting that Michin lost her match last week, since she also resembles trash. Michin says that she’s ready to whoop that pancake, right now. Maybe that’s what she’s asking for.

LA Knight, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade El Idolo Segment 

LA Knight: Let me talk to you. What are we, just a little over 30 days into this US Title Reign, and we’re already talking two successful title defenses, hit it, and quit it, YEAH! I’m crossing borders with this thing. As a matter of fact, what, I went from DC, I went to Berlin, to right here in the Big E. YEAH! And no matter where you go, it’s always the same statement, everybody looking is gunning for this thing. It doesn’t matter if it’s open challenges, it might be number one contenders, part-timers, world class athletes, cross-eyed halfwits, incels, all alike. But Nah-Nah. Nobody comes out with this, because I won’t let you, and that’s the way it’s got to be, because I made it that way.

Carmelo Hayes: Hold on, you’re really out here bragging about two successful title defenses? Come on. If anybody should be bragging, it should be me. Because I’ve been putting SmackDown on my back for the last couple of weeks, match of the night, stealing the show, effortless. And you, what you’ve been doing, LA Knight? You’ve been doing what you’ve always been doing, and that’s running your mouth. Now, instead of running your mouth, what you should’ve been doing is checking out the scoreboard, because you’d realize, that I’m up two strikes on Andrade. And by default, that means that I’m next in line for that United States Championship.

LA Knight: By the way, I just wanted to point out, the reason that the two title defenses is important, because it’s already as many in one month in ten months for my predecessor, YEAH. But also, while you’re standing here worrying about having the match of the night, I’ve never had to worry about match of the night. You know what I worry about? I worry about winning, which is why I’m a champion, and you’re not, YEAH!

Carmelo Hayes: Well, the good news is, there’s only one guy you should be worrying about, and I’m HIM.

Andrade El Idolo: Melo, Melo, Melo. Take it easy. Tranquillo. I know you beat me, yes, I know, twice. But remember, I also beat you, twice, too.

Carmelo Hayes: Well, you know what’s crazy, nobody remembers you beating me, twice, Andrade.

Andrade El Idolo: Hey, I remember, and everyone remembers. So, I have a question for you. Do you think you deserve an opportunity for the United States Championship? Do you think I deserve it?

LA Knight: Boys, I don’t know if you’d notice, but I’m a bit of a busy man, I don’t think I got time to hear you two have a tiff out here, okay? So, look, here’s what I want you to do. He beat you, twice. You beat him, twice. Whatever. If you guys want to fight over who’s going to get dropped on their head next by me, then go ahead and be my guess. It doesn’t make a difference to me.

Andrade El Idolo: Hold on. Wait. The championship was mine before.

LA Knight: I don’t know a word you just said, but you better fix your tone. Use your inside voice before I put your keester on the outside.

Andrade El Idolo: Did you understand what I said?
