WWE SmackDown Minneapolis, Minnesota
Commentators Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
– The blue show starts live tonight with the arrival of WWE SmackDown, Vince McMahon.
– Vince McMahon nWe say it’s a privilege to be here tonight, and the introductory words are then, now, always, together, and then he’s leaving SmackDown welcoming. Credits started, and then the commentators greet us and the music of Mad Riddle sounds. He picks up the microphone and says he wants to show a video of RK-Bro’s exploits before Roman Rains kicks his ass.
– Matt Riddle says he’s been waiting a long time for this moment and his whole family is watching it now and more importantly, Randy Orton is watching it from home. He says we wish him all the best, we miss him and love him. For 20 years he killed legends, and he even burned the Undertaker. For the past 20 years, Randy Orton has sacrificed himself to provide the best for his fans, thanks to Riddle. He says he will face Roman Reigns for the title tonight and will dedicate this match to Randy Orton. Randy Orton’s music is performed at the request of Riddle.
– We have a review of the match between Madcap Moss and Baron Corbin.

– We’re banging on again to pick up the microphone with grandson Corbin and complain about Pat McAfee’s criticisms. She threatens him that he will kick his ass if he insults her again, and then he tries to leave, but Pat McCaffy gets up and wants to respond to him. He asks the crowd to help expel Baron Corbin from the stage in the best way possible with laughter. New day music hits and they step into the ring.
– Natalia tells Megan Morant that she will destroy Rhonda Russ. He says the sharpshooter is in a very dangerous grip and Rhonda Roosey is not here tonight.

– Kayla Broxton is with the new Intercontinental Champion Gunther, but he is quickly interrupted by Ludwig Kaiser, who is teaching a wrestling history lesson. He claims to have been crowned the first champion (Bad Patterson) in a tournament in South America (Brazil) and won by a French-speaking Canadian. It became a worldwide champion, but after Ricochet became champion, it became one of the worst titles. Now that Kundar has received the title, he will regain the pride and glory of the title. Gunder concludes by claiming that he is the new Intercontinental Champion.
– Commentators announce the program for next week’s MITB for Women with two qualifiers – Alia vs Shatsi Blackheart and Men’s Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Jain. Richosette will qualify for the rematch for the Intercontinental title against Gunther.
