Then we’ll go back to ringside as hype in comments before we see the face-off between John Cena and Logan Paul from last week’s show. Next, we see how SmackDown ended before Logan Paul heads to the parking lot into the arena.
The crowd then welcomes Paul with a boo chorus as he heads to ringside with an exaggerated commentary on his match against John Cena in the Paris crash. Paul has a microphone and he calls China a parasite, but he claims he is the destroyer. The crowd at the time screams indecency at Paul, and they tell them to stop as they are calm on TV. Paul then enters what brought WWE to and quotes his deals with Netflix and ESPN. Paul welcomes TKO. Paul says he even brought Prime to WWE, making WWE a WW-ME.

Cena says Paul is not a destroyer, but cites his career as saying he did what Logan Paul is doing now. Cena then calls for Paul’s comments on bringing fans Netflix and ESPN. Cina says it is his influence that brings all this, but Paul’s influence is not his former influence. Cena says she saw a list released on the top 25 influencers of all time. Cena says Druski, Ishowspeed and others were not Paul. Cena then says that Paul made a video of stunts and pranks when he was on the front page at 18 and 30. That was the wrong reason.

Paul calls out stupid things to get more boos before Cena cuts him off. Cena then leaves the ring while talking about having respect and respect for this family.
Cena then raises the ramp and finds the boy she handed out on the road to WrestleMania a few months ago, saying he’s a pity. Cena then returns to the ring, and Paul tells him to envelop it in a “professional playr.” He then reminds “d*** head” that Paul is someone who wants this match, so he’s better off honing the game.

Black says the violence will get worse. Black says that he shows how misguided the priest is. Black says the priest sat at home and felt pressure in his chest, and he couldn’t move your arms and you felt paralyzed. Black whispers as he kneels on his chest, “I warned you.”
Kathy Kelly is with Damien Priest, and he is asked about the black comments. The priest says that Black appears to be educated and he wants to be like him.

McIntyre says last week Orton attacked him and he did it for Summer Slam, and he understands. McIntyre says Orton chose Jerry Roll as his partner and if he did that because he thinks Cody is your friend, he doesn’t like it. McIntyre says Cody is a manipulator and politician. McIntyre says Cody was in constant contact with Orton when he went out for two years. McIntyre then says it was not friendship, but an Intel to use against him. McIntyre should remember what happened at the end of King of the Rings. McIntyre then hesitated, but Cody said to Cody and knew the answer, and knew how to hurt him, so Cody chased her back. McIntyre, at this point, if you think Cody is his friend, he is naive. McIntyre says that if Orton believes Cody is his friend, he’s an idiot.
