Opener Promo
After
a promo battle last week on SmackDown Live, Baron Corbin laid out the
SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon with a kick down low. Shane
comes out to the ring and calls out “The Lone Wolf”. A promo
battle takes place that ends abruptly when Corbin lays out Shane with
a cheap shot. Shades of last week on SmackDown Live.

Hot
off her victory over Tamina last week on SmackDown Live, Brie Bella
comes out to the ring and calls out the current #1 contender for the
SmackDown Women's Championship, Becky Lynch. Brie tells Becky that
her sister and her always had a saying. Brie doesn't care if Becky is
the #1 contender or not, if she wants to get to Nikki, she has to go
through Brie first as Brie challenges Becky to a match next week on
SmackDown Live.
A
cryptic vignette is shown with a muffled and distorted voice that
could barely be understood. It repeats “I've always had it under
control” over and over again. “I've always had it under control”,
“I've always had it under control”,“I've always had it under
CONTROOOOOOOOL.”

Last
week on SmackDown Live, Dean Ambrose came out to the ring still in
disbelief over his pair of seconds-long losses to Baron Corbin at
SummerSlam and to Randy Orton at Backlash. Even before SummerSlam,
Ambrose (who had and still holds a rematch clause in his contract for
a WWE Championship rematch) was cut in line by John Cena and Baron
Corbin who received their WWE Championship bout opportunities before
him.
Both
have challenged the WWE Champion AJ Styles and both have failed.
Perhaps the ending of this chapter for Dean Ambrose sees his
redemption in succeeding where John Cena and Baron Corbin have
failed. After all, that rematch clause is literally all that Ambrose
has left. Ambrose would go on to lay down a challenge to AJ Styles to
a WWE Championship match at WWE No Mercy.

Card Promo
The
WWE Champion AJ Styles comes out to address Ambrose's challenge from
last week and calls out “The Lunatic Fringe”. Styles accepts
Ambrose's challenge and the WWE Championship match is set for No
Mercy.
