By Richard Trionfo on 2018-08-28 21:56:00

We are in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

The New Day make their way to the ring for their Celebration after winning the Smackdown Tag Team Championship last week.  Big E has pancakes in the top of a replica Stanley Cup.

Xavier Woods starts off and he says that they did what they do best and that is become your Smackdown Tag Team Champions.  Kofi says the Bludgeons are tough but they had them out like a light.  Big E says there is no other place that they would rather celebrate than in the 6.  Big E says he waited a long time to be able to say they are . . .

Booker T interrupts before Big E can utter those two words and he makes his way to the ring.

Booker T says that he is the ruler of the Smackdown world.

Xavier asks doeth their eyes deceive him?  Is it the master of the Spinaroonie?    They bow before Booker and get on their knees.

Booker says he has a royal decree.  He says the WWE will bear witness as Lord Xavier the Wise, Sir Kofi the Brave, and you there . . . Big E access to the most royal club of them all.

Big E stops Booker and he wants to know where is his regal name.

Booker says he already has BIG in his name.

Big E says that Booker went FULL SAXTON on him.

Booker wants to know that Big E didn't just say that.  There is only one who should be in the FIVE TIME Champion Club.  Booker welcomes them to the Five Timers Championship Club. 

Booker starts to leave the ring, but The New Day stop Booker so he can do a Spinaroonie.

Xavier does his own Spinaroonie.  Kofi goes next and then Big E gets some help from Kofi and Xavier.

We see a table being set up since the New Day will be on commentary for a tag match.

We go to ringside where Cesaro and Sheamus show that they are not pancake fans.

Paige is in the office and she is with Rusev, AIden English, and Lana.  Paige says that they deserve to be in the tag title picture after what she has seen.  They will face the Usos and Sanity in a Triple Threat match.

The winner will face the Bar and get a chance for the Tag Titles.

We take a look back at what happened last week when Becky Lynch talked about how Charlotte took her big day away from her.

Jeff Hardy is in the back and he has "RKO" painted on his face as we go to commercial.

Jeff Hardy makes his way to the ring.

Jeff says that since returning to Smackdown, Randy Orton has an obsession with him.  Randy has gotten inside his head and altered his mind.  Jeff says Randy has eradicated rational thought from him.  Randy made him think he could fly and that is why Jeff did this . . . and we see what happened last week.

Jeff says when he put Randy through that table, he felt alive.  He felt reborn.  He felt rebroken by faith.  Jeff says he knows that Randy can hear him so he wants Randy to come out so Jeff can finish what he started.

Randy Orton's music plays and he makes his way to the stage.

Randy says that Jeff Hardy has found himself and he is back on that pedestal.  You know who you truly are.  Randy says he appreciates being given the credit for it.  Randy says the truth is that he is not finished with Jeff.  This version of Jeff Hardy is the identity that he is going to take away.  This is the career that he is going to end.  Randy says he knows what he has to do and that is to leave Jeff a heap of broken bones in the ring.  

Randy asks Jeff if he thought Randy was going to get in the ring on Jeff's terms?  Randy says Jeff is not as dumb as these Canadians.  You can call him what you want but the only thing you have to call him are the three most destructive letters in wrestling . . . R . . . K. . .

Jeff says that Randy is going to hell and Jeff is going to join him at Hell in a Cell.

Randy drops the mic and backs away.

Carmella is getting ready in the back and Renee Young asks her about her match against Charlotte and how the buzz is coming off her.  Carmella says the only reason Evolution exists is because of the attention she brought to the women's division.  Becky threw an epic temper tantrum.  Charlotte never pinned her and she beat Charlotte twice.  Tonight, she will complete the trifecta.  Becky and Charlotte are chump change and Mella is Money.

R Truth shows up and wants to know where Carmella went.

Tye Dillinger wants to know what Truth is doing.  Truth says when the time is right, the Truth will set her free.

Billie Kay says she thinks she is clairvoyant.  Billie explains that she could see the future.  Just like she predicted last week that Peyton would beat Naomi.  Billie says she sees the Raptors having a dismal season.  She sees Naomi having nightmares about losing again tonight.
