By Richard Trionfo on 2018-08-07 21:59:00

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.

Randy says last week Jeff Hardy called him out.  Let's see how that turned out for him as we see footage from last week's Smackdown.  Randy says the question is do you still believe.  Randy says he could have warned those of you who are squeamish to turn away but that was why he did it.  Randy says he has vowed to take out every superstar you put on a pedestal.  Randy says he will become so violent that you will want to change the channel.

Randy says you won't change the channel because you people still believe.  You believe in superheroes.  You believe in hope.  You hope that your superhero Jeff Hardy will come out to save the day, but he won't.  Randy says he erased the enigma.  Jeff Hardy is lost looking for his identity.  Randy says he erased the enigma.  Randy says he will erase every superstar you respect.  Randy says he does not get the respect he deserves from the fans or the respect from anyone in the back.

Randy says he was the youngest man in that locker room when he started.  He was the youngest World Champion.  He is a thirteen time World Champion and he has won every title.  However, he is not respected.

Randy says you have made your choice and so has he.  That means that he will erase every superstar you choose to believe in.  Starting with Jeff Hardy, piece by piece by piece.  It is not Randy's fault.  It is on each and every one of you.  You can call him whatever you want but you need to call him by the three most dangerous letters . . . R K O.

Cesaro and Sheamus are in the locker room talking about their match tonight.

Becky Lynch is in the hallway and Charlotte stops by.  They speak at the same time.  Charlotte says she wasn't trying to ruin Becky's moment.  Charlotte says Becky knows that she is competitive.  Becky says it put her in a tough position.  Becky says she wants to be happy for Charlotte but she wanted a singles match against Carmella.  The challenge got a lot bigger..  Becky says that to be the best, she has to beat the best. 

Charlotte asks if they are okay for this tag match and Becky says they aren't Sasha and Bayley.

Carmella makes her way to the ring to join the announce team for the next match.

Peyton and Billie play some word association and call Orlando the saddest place on Earth.  She calls Charlotte overrated, a bad dancer, and someone who lost to Carmella twice.  Becky is brought up and Billie cannot think of anything.  Peyton says Becky is where she always is . . . in Charlotte's shadow.  Billie and Peyton say Becky is always a bridesmaid but never a champion.

We take a look back at last week's promo by Samoa Joe.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring.  

AJ says he hasn't forgotten how that sounds as he replies to the chants.  AJ says a lot goes on between these ropes.  A lot of trash talking and manhoods being tested.  When that happens, it gets personal.  You made it personal last week when you talked about his family.  AJ says he wants to be one of the greatest WWE Superstars for his family.  AJ says we all make sacrifices as parents.  That is what he does as a father and a real man.  AJ says he is away from home more than 200 days a year.  He misses little league and birthdays.  On August 5th, he celebrated 18 years with his wife.  She is like a single parent because of what AJ does.  He is there to make sure that they get what he didn't have.  

AJ says when your little one falls down and scrapes their knee calling for their daddy, you want to be there.  AJ says that it pisses him off because Joe knows his family and wife.  Before this was the house that AJ built, they shared the same cockroach infested apartment complex and stale pizza.  You threw it away in a matter of minutes because you mentioned his family.  AJ says he won't let Joe get his hands on this title.  AJ says at SummerSlam, you are not walking out the WWE Champion.  You will be lucky to walk out at all.

We see Samoa Joe watching in the back and he is laughing.

Lana is in the back getting ready for her match against Zelina Vega and Rusev stops by.  Rusev says Lana was right last week and he should be more supportive.  That is why he will be at ringside with Lana for her match against Zelina Vega.  Lana appreciates Rusev for doing that.

Rusev says they forgive him.

Rusev tells Aiden that they forgive him but it is better that he stays in the back for their match.
