• A recap of the Shane/Owens stuff from last week played, along with the announcement Vince McMahon would be there live tonight.
  
  
• Kevin Owens came to the ring, insisted Smackdown was now The Kevin Owens Show (starring Kevin Owens), and his first act of business would be to fire Sami Zayn, and that Tom Philips and Byron Saxton on commentary had to fit themselves into one suit now since they were indistinguishable. He canceled The Fashion Files (big boos from the crowd) and then called out Vince McMahon, but Shane's music played instead and out came... Dolph Ziggler.
  
  
• After Ziggler and Owens congratulated each other, Ziggler left and Daniel Bryan came out to remind Owens he didn't run the show, Bryan did. He told him Vince would be there soon, and Owens wouldn't like what he had to say. Owens calmly responded that Vince wouldn't like what HE had to say.
  
  
• AJ Styles retained the US Title via submission after making Tye Dillinger tap out to the Calf Crusher. Baron Corbin had tried to interfere but was knocked off the apron by AJ's Phenomenal Forearm, and Dillinger almost managed to score a pinfall in the flurry of moves that followed, but AJ was able to hold him off. After the match, AJ and Tye shook hands but then both were assaulted by Corbin who declared HE was AJ's next US Title opponent.
  
  
• Backstage Rusev talked about going home to Bulgaria as a loser and being shunned by his family. But he wasn't a loser, and he knew what he had to do to get his mojo back - he had to break a legend.
  
  
• Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers came to the ring and did a bit mocking pictures of Nakamura and making fun of the way he acts and speaks. He then criticized the (silent) crowd for laughing, because Americans were xenophobic and even if he was to become Champion they would taunt him for being a foreigner. So he advised Shinsuke not to even bother to come to Hell in a Cell, and if he did Jinder would retain again.
  
  
• Backstage Kevin Owens discussed with a worker backstage the changes he'd like made for HIS show, including private flights for his wife and kid to each show, and a limo for him and his buddy Jimmy (Jacobs). He saw Sami and taunted him with the prospect of having to go back to wrestling in armories. Sami retorted he'd rather do that than ever work for Owens.
  
  
• The New Day defeated The Usos in a Sin City Street Fight to become the 4 Time Tag Team Champions. As always the chemistry between the teams was excellent and built up well to an exciting finish.
  
  
• Nattie retained her Women's Championship in a rematch against Naomi, after Naomi was distracted after going for a crossbody to the outside of the ring and taking out Carmella and Ellsworth instead. This allowed Nattie to get the sharpshooter on her back in the ring and force her to tap out.
  
  
• English was singing backstage, admired by Kevin Owens who asked him to sing the lyrics to HIS new show. English was happy to comply.
  
  
• Ziggler showed up complaining that everybody should just love him for showing up but they only ever wanted big flashy entrances, so he'd give them one. He then did Bayley's entrance complete with inflatable wacky waving arm men, then the Ultimate Warrior's. He complained anybody could do what he'd just did but only he could do what he does in the ring, but none of them care about that so he doesn't care about them.
  
  
• Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros in a quick match. They shook hands with Mojo afterwards, but Zack refused and walked out of the ring.
  
  
• Backstage, Vince McMahon was seen chatting happily with Daniel Bryan.
  
  
• Kevin Owens came to the ring and waited for Vince McMahon, who came out to loud applause from the Vegas crowd. Owens suggested that Vince was intimidated by him, but Vince said he was nauseated by Owens words' about Shane and didn't believe Owens hadn't found back last week because he respected authority, but because Shane was beating his rear end. He didn't see how Owens could look at himself and have any respect, and rather than fight back he choose to sue instead. He claimed that if Owens filed a lawsuit, Vince would call his lawyer and declare,"KEVIN OWENS! YOU'RE FAAHHHHHHH!" - Vince wasn't scared of any lawsuits, he'd been in plenty and never lost one, because he was a billionaire and society was designed for people like him.
  
  
• Owens reminded Vince that Shane had put his hands on him, and Vince explained he didn't suspect Shane for hitting Owens, he suspended him for not finishing the job. Owens talked poo poo about the family so of course he got hit, and now Vince was going to reinstate Shane not as an authority figure but a wrestler, and Owens and Shane would face each other in a Hell in a Cell match at that PPV. Owens agreed to the fight but demanded Vince's word that he wouldn't be fired for beating "a McMahon" senseless. Vince gladly gave it and shook Owens hand... and Owens headbutted him (and drew blood!) and reminded him he'd given him his word. Vince staggered up, tried to throw a punch and Owens knocked him on his rear end, then booted him in the gut while he was down. Refs tried to clear him out and he was about to, till he saw Vince getting up so hit him with the Superkick instead, tossed out the refs and went up top. Adam Pearce rushed to the ring to try and stop him, Owens faked getting down then hit Vince with the Frogsplash. Owens left with a 1000 yard stare, and medics, Pearce and Stephanie McMahon helped Vince to the back.
