Heyman’s proclamation
Kayla Braxton was outside Roman Reigns’ locker room for a comment about last week, and Heyman came out and went on a classic rant about John Cena stealing the air from Reigns and others.
He asked if he knocked out Tom Brady and signed in his place would he get the deal? He pointed out the contract is a joke and the WWE is an enabler for Cena to slide into a championship match he doesn’t deserve.
When he turned to leave, Heyman ran into Big E with his MITB contract and Big E laughed like the joker at his mind games.
Tamina vs. Nox w/Shotzi
Tamina went for a Samoan Drop right off the bat, and Nox slipped free and hit a dropkick and hammered away, but Tamina stopped her with a clothesline.

Nox used her speed to avoid a splash and hit a series of dropkick and kicks for a pin attempt, but missed a Shining Wizard.
Tamina hit with a superkick and went for a Samoan Drop but Shotzi fired a nerf missile to distract Tamina for a rollup win.
Vega’s match changed
Deville and Pearce told Vega that Belair may have accepted her challenge but it’s not a championship match, so she has to win to get a title match.
Vega was upbeat considering she was kinda screwed on the deal.
Edge’s trick
Edge came out and showed the crowd weren’t cutouts but living people for the biggest pop of the night.
Edge started out saying Rollins isn’t there and he doesn’t blame him because what he’d do to him would put Edge in jail.
He then shifted to how Rollins cost him the MITB. He then admitted he would’ve done the same thing.
Rollins laughed and applauded from the titantron by satellite and mocked Edge for not seeing him coming last week.
Rollins said they are a lot alike, but Edge isn’t half the man the Architect is because you always have to have a Plan B.
Edge said he has a Plan B and challenged Rollins to a match at SummerSlam and Rollins said he’s going to think about it.
He added that while he’s mulling it over, Edge should think about it since he knows what it’s like to have Rollins’ boot on the back of his neck.
Rollins triggered Edge by talking about his family and he doesn’t know what Edge will do after he beats him.
Edge reminded him that he eliminated him in the last two Royal Rumbles and that triggered Edge.
Rollins then accepted Edge’s challenge. WWE Smackdown Results aren’t surprised the match was set, but their exchange was a little rough and lacked energy since they weren’t nose to nose.
Backstage, Finn Balor was still upset at losing his Universal Championship match at SummerSlam, and said when he’s done with Corbin he’s going after Cena.
