The American Nightmare returned to address John Cena and even The Rock. He revealed that The Rock's offer to sell his soul still stands no matter how many times he says no. After that, Jey Uso came out, followed by John Cena and Logan Paul.
There was a verbal back-and-forth, with Cena praising Logan Paul and stating that he has no requirement to pay his dues the way others do, because, according to Cena, Logan Paul pays the mortgages of superstars like Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Logan Paul and John Cena got into a bit of a disagreement in the end, and Cody humiliated Cena by asking if he was going back to polish Logan Paul's “peacemaker”.
 On SmackDown, Damian Priest stated that he had been competing against Drew McIntyre for more than a year, and it was not normal. However, he had put McIntyre out of action by attacking him with the chairs, and it was in the past. He said that while he still didn't like McIntyre, he respected the version of the star he got to face at SNME, as he was a real warrior. Damian Priest said that he wanted championships, and that was what he had always wanted when he came to SmackDown. He said that he was going to go on the hunt for gold once again, and this time it was going to be against Jacob Fatu. |  At Saturday Night's Main Event, Chelsea Green had it all. Not only was she competing for the Women's United States Championship, but she was doing so with the support of the Secret Hervice. None of it mattered in the end as it all came crashing down. The star lost the match, and on top of that, picked up an injury against Zelina Vega. Vega tried to hit her with a 619 but the move was botched. It ended with the star kicking Green across the nose instead. The star suffered a broken nose from the kick and eventually lost the match as well. Now, Chelsea Green has come out with a new look on SmackDown. She appeared while wearing a mask. At first, it was guarded by Piper Niven and herself holding up a board with a printout of Chelsea's face on it. But then the mask was revealed in all its glory, showing Green's new look. |

ANALYSIS CORNER
Drew McIntyre was essentially written off TV via his loss to Damian Priest in a Steel Cage Match at Saturday Night's Main Event. The violent encounter was supposed to end their feud, but Priest simply walked out of the cage.
The Scottish Warrior stood up from a conchairto shortly thereafter, as Priest was still walking away. McIntyre has been dealing with some nagging injuries and will take some time off. When he comes back, however, there's an easy way to ease him back into things - to target Jey Uso.
