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.”

Match #3

Normal Match

Carmella vs Maryse

Winner by pinfall: Maryse (French Kick)(*** ½ Great)

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.

Middle 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.
