Daniel Bryan returns to SmackDown with a huge ovation. (as this was 2017 and not expected!) Daniel Bryan and Cena hug it out. Daniel then gives the same heartfelt speech he gave in 2018 and then vows to continue to be the best wrestle in the business without being held back by the authority or with nepotism from John Cena. (100)

It had been recently announced that Bobby Roode will get his rematch clause against Luke Harper at Extreme Rules... However, it has been rumored that Harper will be coming after Roode sooner.. We cut the the backstage area of Roode frantically looking to hire body guards.

First, he comes to Braun and Braun ROARS at Roode and Roode moves along.
Second, Roode comes to the MVP and Shelton Benjamin and they said the Super Athletes aren't superscum and will not be helping Roode.
Third, Roode comes to the Big Show who has just come over from RAW. Roode begs for his help and Big Show laughs at him.
Fourth, a guy comes behind Roode. He is wearing blue jeans and a beater and has a guitar in hand... "Hello, I am Elias and ...", Roode immediately cuts him off and says "Get away, I don't know who the hell you are." and walks off.
Finally, Roode rounds a bend only to run into a familiar face... James Storm. "James, thank god I found you, I need your help!" James laughs at Bobby, tags a swig of his beet and says: "Ain't no body gonna help a backstabber like you. You're gonna have to face the music that you're never getting that title back!" Storm walks off with a deep look of concern on his face. "This is not glorious..." (77)

John Cena announces tonight he will be starting his half of the King of the Ring bracket featuring:
Mr. MitB Chris Jericho vs Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens, a member of the old authority vs a former King Bad News Barrett, and then finally, a reunion in the new the SmackDown Xavier Woods vs his old partner, Kofi Kingston! And that first match is next! (94)

Chris Jericho defeats Dolph Ziggler after Ziggler fell for the attempt to leave trick from Jericho and then Jericho took over the match. (78)

In his office enters the old members of the Authority (Seth, Bully, D-Von, Damien Sandow, and Velvet Sky). John tells them that he isn't going to lie to them. There will be punishment for their allegiance to the Authority and he has to break them up for his own good. The group is outraged. However, they are outraged more when he tells them that it is BULLY that has been sent to Monday Night Raw. He was included in the Kevin Owens trade. The group is annoyed, D-Von storms out. Velvet yells at him saying "you just lost your hottest woman on the roster!" Cena says, "You can go too, you'll be more successful there" and she and Bully Storm out. He then tells Seth that he won't hold him back per say, Seth faces BNB tonight! (88)
