Dean Ambrose's surprise WWE World Heavyweight Championship win back at "Money in the Bank"—as well as the triple threat match for the title set at "Battleground" next month, and Roman Reigns's 30-day suspension—has changed the main event landscape at the drop of a hat. This episode of "SmackDown" continues pushing the momentum toward "Battleground."
- The opening segment sees Seth Rollins coming out and ranting about winning his championship back. He issued an open challenge to anyone on the roster, and out comes Sami Zayn. The match is made for later in the night, as the "SmackDown" main event.
- Cesaro def. Alberto del Rio. It was a pretty good match, as is the norm for "SmackDown."
- Sheamus def. Apollo Crews via countout. It was a rematch from "Money in the Bank."
- The Club and the Usos confront each other backstage. Jimmy Uso vs. AJ Styles is made for later that night.

- Sami Zayn does a backstage interview saying he wants to end his feud with Kevin Owens.
- Charlotte and Dana Brooke do a backstage interview against Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. Becky Lynch and Dana Brooke have a match up next.
