- We kick off the show with Kevin Owens' Highlight Reel. Owens says Chris Jericho invented the Money in the Bank ladder match, but never won it. He, however, will win the match at Money in the Bank, and when he does and cashes in, he'll become the face of the entire WWE. He brings out his guest tonight, Shinsuke Nakamura. Also, real quick; I don't understand these new nicknames Nakamura has. "The Artist?" "The Rockstar?" How? What was wrong with the King of Strong Style? Nakamura enters the ring in the way only he can, but Owens tells him his show is no place for dancing. He says the last guy in WWE claiming to be a rockstar got sent into an early retirement by himself. Nakamura starts to talk but is interrupted by Baron Corbin. He says they should show a highlight from a real superstar, and the clip of him beating down Sami Zayn last week. Owens says that wasn't impressive since he's been beating up Sami Zayn for 15 years and tells him to leave. Corbin calls him Cartman because "get it, he's fat!" Nakamura points out that last week he pinned Owens and that Sami Zayn pinned him before that beatdown. Corbin & Owens beat down Nakamura until Sami Zayn runs down to even the odds. Zayn & Nakamura boot the heels from the ring before Zayn says the fight between him & Corbin is far from over and that the fight between him & Owens is never over. That's true, they are destined to do this forever. Zayn proposes a tag match right now.

- It's time for the Fashion Files, this time shot like an old, black & white film. Fandango (in an inner monologue) says him & Tyler Breeze let the biggest fashion felons slip through their fingers before finding the fashion police department wrecked. He finds Breeze in the office in a dress. Fandango says he's still undercover, which Breeze (also in an inner monologue) says Fandango thinks he's still undercover. They actually speak now, looking over the wrecked office. The only clue...a bottle of cologne. Hintity Hintity. Hint. Anyways, these two are hilarious.
