Match #1: Aleister Black vs. Bo Dallas
RESULTS: ALEISTER BLACK WINS
Segment: Firefly fun house pops up on the titan tron after the match. Bray Wyatt tells Black that he loves what you said last week. Knocking a head off a body sounds wonderful! But you are missing the point here, Al. You can't demand anything from us. We are only mediators! There is only one way to get Keith Lee, and that is buying giving us your soul. The doorbell rings and bray gets excited over a package. He grabs it and opens it up. It's an Aleister black crow puppet. Bray is all excited but he admits that it's missing life, Al. At Hell in Cell, we will give this new friend life when HE takes yours. It's the only exchange Al. Non-negotiable. The hurt hand comes up. Wyatt listens to it and says that He has a great idea. The deal is your fate, Al, you cannot back out or find a different way. So to make sure he gets what he wants, HE will take you to hell. Hell in a cell. Goodbye!
Segment: Backstage, Ricochet is talking to a road agent. MVP walks up. Ricochet gets guarded and tells MVP to stop bothering him. MVP tells Ricochet that he's got nothing to worry about. I know I've been coming on a little strong as of late but hey, when I see talent, I want to cultivate it. Plus I got an offer for you. I talked to my guys in the back and they told me that next week, you're getting a title shot at Sheamus's IC championship. The only catch is, you have to have one last match against the most recent challenger, which happens to be me. Now here's my offer Ric. I will forfeit my match, allowing you to get a bye directly into next week's title shot, all you would have to do, is let me manage you. What do you say, and MVP extends his hand. Ricochet says look MVP, I truly value your friendship and interest in managing me. But I've gotten to this point in my career by being the one and only. I've was the king of the independents. I came to NXT and grinder again until i became champ. Sure I got moved to the main roster and admittedly I've had my stumbles, yet nothing is perfect. It's just all part of the grind. It's not that I don't need you MVP, it's that I know for a fact that I can prove myself here and beat Sheamus next week. I'll see you tonight.
Match #2: Sonya Deville vs. Natalya
RESULTS: SONYA DEVILLE WINS
-After the match, Sonya grabs the mic and says Sonya, you already know I got your number. I've been waiting for this match for a long time. You, me, for the women's championship at hell in a cell. This will be a goddamn fight.
Video Package: Rhea Ripley is having a sit-down interview with Kayla Braxton. Kayla intros the interview saying that Rhea asked for this interview. Ripley says that over the past several months, being on Raw has been amazing. I've been proving my talents to the world. However, while I've been doing my best, my former tag partner didn't think so. Following every single one of my matches, even if we won, she would yell at me, belittle me, and then take our tag team accomplishments as her own. She wouldn't even let me talk sometimes. She is two-faced Kayla, I couldn't stand for it any longer. Kayla, surprised about the accusation, asks if there is any evidence to back up Ripley's claim. Ripley says yes and shows a private text chain between the two, where Morgan is continuously insulting Ripley. Rhea says that their partnership just became toxic and I couldn't do it anymore, so I quit. Kayla asks what's next for Rhea. Rhea says that she's going to try to move forward as a singles competitor, and hopefully, the draft can split us up further. She was psychotic Kayla. I'm done with liv Morgan. I just want to move on.
Segment: Before the match starts, MVP grabs the mic, and tells Ricochet, look man, this is your last chance. I've given you every opportunity and you have still denied my help. This is your last chance. Take my hand. Take this bye. Ricochet walks up and talks to MVP off-mic until suddenly, The LLC jump Ricochet from behind. Once they hit their finisher, MVP calls for the bell to ring and goes for the pin, but ricochet kicks out at 2.5
Match #3: Ricochet vs. MVP
RESULTS: MVP WINS
-Match has MVP trying to skate by with lots of LLC involvement, but Ricochet finds a way to get out of it until it's too much and he loses
Segment: Backstage, Liv Morgan is interviewed. She says that she's heard Rhea's awful accusations about her and they are simply untrue. I loved working with Rhea. We were tag team champions, why would I want that to end. She is a smart and powerful woman on this roster and she will support her if she wants to become a singles competitor, but this came out of nowhere. I don't know why she is saying these lies about me but if she's left me with no choice. I'm going to move forward as well. I know Sonya challenged Shayna already, but I don't care. I want a match with Shayna. I never got my fair shot after Summerslam. I deserve this for all the work I have done these past few months. I've proven it. So if we need to fight next week over in Sonya, let's do it.

You want a piece of me that's fine, but if you're going to come at me you better give it all you got, or else I'm going to eat you alive. I will do anything and everything to defend this Universal Title I fought tooth and nail for.

This is a very special installment of the show because I have a very special guest, Smackdown's own United States Champion Tomasso Ciampa!" Ciampa's music hits and he heads to the ring and takes his seat. Owens starts "Ciampa, thanks for joining me today, any trouble finding the place?" Ciampa no-sells Owen's joke and glares at him. "Okay then, any way you won the United States Championship in your first match on Smackdown, correct?" Ciampa just says "Yeah." Owens: "Interesting, and that was 1 of 2 matches you've had under the Smackdown brand yeah?" "That's correct" "Okay thanks for clearing that up, so that leads me to my next question, who do you think you are coming in and saying you're going to dominate Smackdown and take over and put everyone in their place when you have barely had your reps here? Anyway, you can clear that up for me?" Ciampa stands up and glares at Owens, Owens chuckles and says "Oh we're doing this now?" Owens stands up and stares Ciampa right back in his eyes. Ciampa goes to walk away and then tries to sucker punch Owens who blocks it and gets his own shot in, knocking Ciampa on his ass. Ciampa rolls out of the ring with his title and backs away.
