– LA Knight was supposed to come out on The Grayson Waller Effect, but Carmelo Hayes came out instead. Hayes told Waller and Austin Theory that they should stick together and fight these veterans like Bobby Lashley and Cody Rhodes, who take their spots. Knight came out to a huge pop. Knight said Carmelo needs to stay in his place or he’ll soon learn whose game this is. LA goes to leave the ring, but Carmelo attacks him from behind.

– WWE Champion Cody Rhodes met Randy Orton backstage and shook his hand. Orton had a serious look on his face and looked at the WWE Title. The American Nightmare then came out to the ring to a big pop. Cody was about to start talking, but United States Champion Logan Paul interrupted. Cody said he thinks Logan still has brass knuckles on him and told the referee to check him, and it’s true. Cody said a lot of people still think Logan is a YouTuber, but he doesn’t think so and believes Logan is a pro-wrestler. However, Cody said Logan will never be on his level until he stops being a part-timer. Cody said he’ll beat Logan so bad that he’ll regret ever calling out the WWE Champion.

Styles said he was just one second away from defeating Cody Rhodes at Backlash and was again just one second away from defeating Randy Orton in the King of the Ring tournament. Styles requested Aldis to give him one more shot at the WWE Championship, against the winner of Cody vs. Logan match tomorrow night. Aldis said personally, he wants to give AJ this match, but professionally he can’t as a title match has to be earned and that takes time. AJ said he doesn’t have time. Aldis said he’s sorry, but he can’t help AJ with that.
– A vignette aired for Andrade coming to SmackDown. Andrade said he controls his own destiny and he knows what he wants.
– Paul Heyman told Solo Sikoa that they couldn’t bring Tonga Loa to Saudi Arabia as he couldn’t get through customs because of his dangerous past.

Solo made it clear again that he is in charge of The Bloodline until Roman comes back.
