PROMO: Kevin Owens comes out to the ring to kickoff the show. He wants to point out that he never fought back against Shane McMahon, because he respects authority. When SmackDown is The Kevin Owens Show, he'll be making some changes. The first person to be fired will be Sami Zayn. Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton will have to share one suit because they sound the same on TV. The Fashion Files is cancelled forever. He invites Vince McMahon to come out, but Shane McMahon does instead...just kidding. It's actually Dolph Ziggler doing a parody. Daniel Bryan comes out to say Owens doesn't run the show tonight, he does, and Vince will be here soon.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: AJ Styles (c) defeats Tye Dillinger by submission. After the match, Baron Corbin attacks them and says he's going to be Styles' opponent next week for the open challenge.
INTERVIEW: Dasha Fuentes talks to Rusev, who says he took a recent trip to Bulgaria to recharge with family and such after his SummerSlam loss. They looked at him with embarrassment since he came home as a loser instead of a winner, but he's not a loser. To get himself back, he must break a legend.
PROMO: Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers come out. I'm assuming he'll say he's the WWE champion and say "raj" a bunch of times in Punjabi, since that's all he ever does, every single week. He talks about Shinsuke Nakamura making funny faces.
BACKSTAGE: Kevin Owens is telling an assistant all the demands he'll have when he runs the show, like a private jet for his family. Sami Zayn is by, so Owens tells him he gives him permission to reneg on their old promise not to ever wrestle for armories again. Zayn says he'd rather do that than ever work for Owens.
SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP SIN CITY STREET FIGHT MATCH: The New Day defeat The Usos (c) to win the titles!
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S MATCH: Natalya (c) defeats Naomi by submission
BACKSTAGE: Kevin Owens interrupts Aiden English, who was singing backstage. He says English will be the perfect to sing the lyrics to the new Kevin Owens Show theme.
PROMO: Dolph Ziggler comes out for another promo. He's the greatest in-ring performer in WWE history and shouldn't need an elaborate entrance to show that he's a star, but the audience needs it, so fine. He heads behind the curtain and comes out as Bayley. The sad reality is that when the bell rings, the performer has to actually compete. That reminds him of the biggest waste of them all, someone who couldn't hold a candle but was idolized—The Ultimate Warrior. Ziggler heads to the back and runs out with the tassels and a face paint mask on. Anyone can do that stuff, but nobody can do what Ziggler does in the ring.
TAG TEAM MATCH: Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros by pinfall. After the match, Mojo Rawley shakes Benjamin and Gable's hands, but Ryder refuses to and walks away.
PROMO: Vince McMahon heads to the ring, with Kevin Owens inside it already. McMahon cuts him down to size a bit, saying Shane was kicking his ass and Owens should have no respect for himself based off his looks. If Owens files the lawsuit, he'll be fired. Out of all the court cases he's been in, he hasn't lost a single one. By the time the lawsuit ever gets to court, Owens will be bankrupt. Vince says he didn't suspend Shane for putting his hands on Owens, he suspended him for not finishing the job. He's going to reinstate Shane, who will fight Owens in a Hell in a Cell match. Owens says he needs Vince's word that if he's provoked, he's allowed to beat a McMahon senseless. Vince shakes his hand and Owens holds onto it before headbutting him. Vince stands up (with blood on his forehead) and Owens punches him down. He then kicks him. Vince gets up again, so Owens superkicks him. He tosses the referees out of the way and climbs the turnbuckle, then splashes McMahon from the top rope. Stephanie comes out to stare him down before checking up on Vince, who is being attended to by trainers and medical staff.
