NEXT: After finally turning away recent rivals American Alpha, The SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos are already three-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions with six combined successful title defenses.

NEXT: Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Carmella and Tamina battle it out in a Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match to determine who will challenge Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam!

INTERVIEW: Natalya says that everything has led to this moment for Carmella, Tamina and her. They banded together to prevent Charlotte from stealing their opportunities upon her arrival from RAW. Tonight is the night that they must make sure that Charlotte does not win.

INTERVIEW: Becky Lynch starts off with a quick message for Natalya. They were embroiled in a bitter rivalry last season and Becky still has not forgotten her mission to face Nattie in a Submission Match, Sharpshooter versus Dis-Arm-Her! As for tonight, it's every Superstar for themselves if The Welcoming Committee get any funny ideas she'll collect three of their arms and have it so Charlotte and her are the last ones to battle it out!

INTERVIEW: Charlotte says that the legacy of The Welcoming Committee will be futility because all of their plotting since she's arrived on SmackDown Live still won't prevent “The Queen” from eliminating them all tonight and going on to make history by winning the SmackDown Women's Championship at the biggest party of the Summer, SummerSlam!
