– The show opens with the exploding pyros, followed by the commentators who welcome us to the ThunderDome. Vince McMahon is in the ring and welcome us. He was going to tell us about SummerSlam but the lights go out … The Fiend enters the ring and faces Vince McMahon. The latter tries to leave but The Fiend prevents him from doing so. Braun Strowman arrives in the ring and faces the Fiend. RETRIBUTION circles the ring. The Fiend waves him goodbye and the lights go out … then come back on and the Fiend is gone. RETRIBUTION attacks Strowman. The SmackDown roster lands in the ring and a general battle breaks out. RETRIBUTION ends up fleeing. Braun Strowman gets up and attacks Drew Gulak then Jey Uso before leaving.

– After the match, Kalisto gets mad at Lince Dorado and they start arguing. Gran Metalik tries to calm them down.

– Jeff Hardy is still being examined by the doctor.

– We review images of the RETRIBUTION attack earlier during the show. We see that AJ Styles attacked Jeff Hardy from behind.

– Behind the scenes, Kayla Braxton arrests AJ Styles. Styles says he was trying to get rid of RETRIBUTION but Jeff Hardy got in his way. It’s a shame he can’t fight for the title. Hardy missed another opportunity. AJ Styles walks backstage and bumps into Sasha Banks and Bayley. They spend a moment between champions.

– Behind the scenes, Kayla Braxton asks Mandy Rose how she is. The wrestler replies that she does not know. It’s been a tough week. She doesn’t know what’s going on in Sonya Deville’s head. She wants to believe that there is good left in the world. She needs to talk to Sonya Deville. They have been through a lot. She wants to believe that the Sonya Deville she knew 5 years ago is still there. Rose suggests that they put it all behind them and come back as before.

– Sasha Banks and Bayley enter the ring. Corey Graves is with them and reminds them that they will defend their title against the same person at SummerSlam. Bayley says there are only 2 women who can hold 2 belts at the same time and that’s them. Graves says Asuka has beaten Bayley before and Sasha Banks needed Bayley’s help to win the title. Banks says they’ll destroy her at SummerSlam

Corey Graves wants to go back on the logic of their decisions. Bayley says everything they do is for one reason: to have all the gold. Graves says he watched RAW and they’ve decided Bayley is going to face Asuka first, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Asuka beat Bayley two weeks ago and she wants revenge for what Bayley did to Kairi Sane. Bayley says it was just a suggestion on Monday. Banks asks Bayley if she’s trying to put Banks’ game first? Naomi comes into the ring and says she can help sort it out, what do they say about a game against them tonight?

Banks asks if Naomi really wants to face them. Naomi says that’s it. Corey Graves suggests a Beat the Clock challenge. Naomi likes the idea and wants to know who she’s up against now. Naomi continues with a Drop Kick on Sasha Banks and Bayley.

– Beat the Clock Challenge – Singles Match

– Beat the Clock Challenge – Singles Match

Naomi vs Bayley

– After the game, Asuka arrives on the stage and speaks in Japanese. She goes on to say that at SummerSlam she will come theEmpress of all titles because no one is ready for Asuka. Sasha Banks runs up the ramp but Asuka knocks her down, then goes to the ring to attack Bayley and scare her away.

– Behind the scenes, Jeff Hardy learns that he may well fight for the title tonight.

– Behind the scenes, Kayla Braxton asks for a reaction from Sonya Deville after what Mandy Rose said. Deville says she has nothing to say to him. Dana Brooke shows up and says she’s sorry for what happened to her this week. Deville slaps her then leaves.

– Sonya Deville arrives on the scene. She says she heard what Mandy Rose said. What does she want ? She’s going to face him one way or another. Rose will be against her at SummerSlam. Since Deville doesn’t care about going bald or not, she raises the stakes. It will be a no-disqualification match and the loser will leave WWE! Hair or no hair, she is tired of seeing his face. May she wipe away the tears and bring out the big game … bitch!

– Behind the scenes, Nikki Cross says she and Alexa Bliss have been friends for a long time. When she spoke to Bliss on Tuesday, she was different. The Alexa Bliss she knows is warm, caring and funny. This person she spoke to was not Alexa Bliss. It scares her, she feels like something terrible is going to happen.

– Intercontinental Championship – Singles Match

AJ Styles (c) vs Jeff Hardy

At the end of the match, AJ Styles wants to do his Styles Clash on Jeff Hardy but the latter counteracts him with his knee brace and makes him a Twist of Fate. Hardy climbs on the third rope and gives him his Swanton Bomb for the victory by pinfall.

Winner: Jeff Hardy – New Champion

– After the game, Kayla Braxton asks Jeff Hardy how he feels after winning the title. If he had been told a year ago that he would become Intercontinental Champion, he would not have believed it. Life is a challenge. He is here to show that there is always hope.

– Behind the scenes, AJ Styles is not happy. Kayla Braxton is seeking comment on her loss. Styles says he was attacked by his illegal knee brace.

– It’s time for the Firefly Fun House. Bray Wyatt wants to say something to everyone. He loves us. Love can be a terrible thing. It can be a trap, it can bring down an angel with broken wings. Too much love can turn a field of sunflowers into a desert.

The story between Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss is a modern Shakespeare tragedy. We see a story with puppets. Wyatt stops them and says that’s not how it turned out. Love can only lead to pain and suffering. We need to be more like him. He is fueled by anger. He can’t wait to have his hands on Braun Strowman. The latter disembarks and attacks Bray Wyatt!

– After the commercial break, Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt fight backstage. Strowman carries a Chokeslam on Wyatt with a certain height. Wyatt is placed in an ambulance.
