Seth Rollins came to the ring to kick off the show. He brought a steel chair with him.
A video package played, recapping Seth’s beatdown of Brock Lesnar at Super Showdown.
Rollins said he feels alive tonight. He said no one on the planet can lace his boots. He said anyone who wants to take the Universal title from him should ask Brock Lesnar how that goes. He said Brock has been in WWE since 2002, and no one has ever done to Lesnar what he did to him at Super Showdown.
Baron Corbin’s music played. Corbin entered to a chorus of boos. He told the crowd that the feeling is mutual. Corbin insulted the crowd in San Jose. He said he walked the streets there today, and he’s the best thing in town.

Corbin says he was granted a rematch, and that he gets to pick a special guest referee for his rematch. Rollins said that no one likes Corbin, not the fans, not even his own dog, so who would want to be his referee?
Sami Zayn’s music played. Zayn came to the stage, and said he’s on Team Corbin on this one. He said he has known Seth for a long time, and cares about him as a person. He said being champion is not good for Seth, who is caught in a pool of toxic masculinity with Brock Lesnar.
Zayn said that it would be better for Seth as a person if Corbin were to become champion. He said that he stands to gain from Corbin being champion, because Corbin might grant him a favor.
Seth asked Zayn who would have his back if he came to the stage and slapped the taste out of his mouth. Kevin Owens entered, and said he has Sami’s back. Owens said he’s there tonight as a wild card, “…whatever that means anyway.”
Rollins challenged Owens to face him later on tonight. Rollins walked up the stage, right past all three heels, and his music played.
The announcers plugged a sit-down interview with Becky Lynch, and the tag title match.

Cole tried to ask Lynch a question. Evans cut him off, and said he should start with a lady. Becky said she’s obsessed with being champion. She’s mad at Lacey for costing her the Smackdown Women’s Championship.
Lacey said it’s not obsession that drives Becky, it’s fear of returning to obscurity. She promised to take Becky’s title and make her Becky One Belt at Stomping Grounds.
Becky told Lacey to put on her granny’s knickers that she calls wrestling gear, and she’ll see her in the ring later.
Bayley and Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans and Alexa Bliss was announced for later tonight.
They cut to the locker room, where Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were having a chat. Alexa said that Bayley has made her feel unwelcome in WWE, and has treated her poorly.

**********
Back from break, they showed a highlight package of fans enjoying Super Showdown. Cole said that WWE is the only cross-cultural form of entertainment. Huh?
Miz introduced his guest, Samoa Joe. They both had their gear on, so a match is coming.
Joe said Miz is pushing a false narrative by calling him the new United States champ. He said Rey Mysterio stole the title from him, and Joe won it back. Miz was incredulous, and threw to a video of Rey relinquishing the title to Joe.
Miz said that Rey was a gentleman, and relinquished the belt to Joe, but Joe beat him up anyway. Miz said that Joe crossed a line by insulting Rey’s son, and that families should be off limits. Joe said the lines don’t apply to him, and maybe he should start talking about Miz’s family.
Braun Strowman’s music played. He said if Joe is looking for a challenger, maybe he should stop talking and get these hands. Strowman entered the ring.

Don’t besmirch Chuck’s good name.

**********
Becky Lynch came to the ring before a commercial. Lynch and Bayley vs. Lacey Evans and Alexa Bliss is next.

**********
Shane McMahon was shown backstage. Sami Zayn asked him if he could be a second referee for the Rollins vs. Owens match later, in case Corbin asks him to be the guest ref at Stomping Grounds. Shane agreed.
Isn’t it funny that while ratings have been in a downward spiral, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have been largely absent from TV, but Shane has been all over every show?
Remember when Hulk Hogan used to take himself off Nitro during the NBA Playoffs so he could claim credit for a ratings bump once the playoffs were over?
**********
Cole congratulated John Cena on being announced as a cast member for the next Fast & The Furious movie.

Paul Heyman was in the ring for a promo. He mocked the crowd for cheering for a thug like Rollins, who beat up Lesnar with a chair and bragged about it.
Heyman said Rollins made a mistake in beating up Lesnar, because Lesnar still has Money in the Bank. Heyman said no more advance warning for when Lesnar is going to cash in.
Heyman said he’s not saying that Lesnar is there tonight, but he’s not saying he isn’t either. He said that Lesnar could be the referee at Stomping Grounds. He said that Lesnar is going to put a non-PG beatdown on Rollins when he is at his most vulnerable. He said that’s not a prediction, or even a spoiler, but a threat from the past and future Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
**********
They cut to the 24/7 geeks in the elevator. EC3 pulled out a plastic fork in case they needed to start cannibalizing each other. R-Truth had a cell phone, but no service. Carmella instituted an elevator rule where you can only talk if you’re holding her hat.

A sweaty, out-of-breath Shane McMahon cut a promo. He said he grew up in WWE, so he knows when something special comes along. He said Roman Reigns is special. He said he’s won every title imaginable, and the Royal Rumble twice. Roman has only won the Rumble once.
Shane said Roman has wins over Lesnar and Undertaker, but no wins over Shane. Shane thanked Drew for coaching and encouraging him in his victory over Roman.
Drew said that he’s going to hurt Roman at Stomping Grounds. He said Shane is the best in the world, but Drew is the most dangerous man. He promised to physically assault Roman and beat him until he’s unrecognizable.
The lads, wearing matching leather jackets, poured champagne into Shane’s World Cup trophy, then drank from it.

Jey hit a splash, but Dawson jumped in and stole the pin. Half the match took place during the commercial, so I have no idea whether or not it was any good.
Chuck caught up with Rollins backstage. He said he’s ready for Sami and Kevin tonight, just like he was ready for Brock at Super Showdown.
Firefly Fun House is next.
