Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nRandy Orton heads to the ring. He starts to talk about Mahal costing him his match against Wyatt at Payback when Mahal interrupts and comes out to the stage with the Singh Brothers.<\/p>\n

Mahal shows Orton what the future looks like: promotional pictures of Mahal with the WWE Title. Mahal says he will wear the WWE Title proudly in the Taj Mahal. He also says he will cleanse the crowd’s ignorance with his greatness. He announces that he is about to start speaking in Punjabi when Kevin Owens interrupts and comes out.<\/p>\n

Owens wants Orton and Mahal to just stop. No one cares about the House of Horrors or India. Everyone should care about Owens and the US Title though. Last week, Owens took back his title last week and ended Chris Jericho’s career. At Backlash, Owens plans to end AJ Styles’ career as well. And when he does, Owens will come after the WWE Title. After saying it again in French, AJ Styles comes out.<\/p>\n

Styles tells Owens to enjoy being the “New Face of America” while he can, because Owens will never be the face of SmackDown Live. Baron Corbin comes out next, but he doesn’t get to say much before Sami Zayn attacks him from behind. After a very brief brawl, Orton, Styles, and Zayn wind up in the ring together while Owens, Corbin, Mahal, and the Singh Brothers stare at them from the floor.<\/p>\n

\nIn the ring, James Ellsworth tells the crowd that they don’t deserve to be in the presence of Carmella’s and Tamina’s beauty. Carmella then introduces Natalya who heads to the ring for a match. Naomi comes out next and gives an introduction for Becky Lynch. As Becky and Natalya get ready to start the match, Charlotte Flair comes out and heads to the ring. She says she needs no introduction.<\/p>\n
