In-Ring: Shane McMahon, The New Day, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn

Shane McMahon opened the episode and ran down the card for the night. He announced that Daniel Bryan would be back next week, then The New Day came down to the ring. They talked about their appearance at Raw last night, which brought out Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and led to Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston being made.

Jinder Mahal did an interview saying he’s going to defeat AJ Styles tonight and Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.

Another Bludgeon Brothers vignette aired.

Becky Lynch defeated James Ellsworth
