  • Paul Heyman came to the ring to specify the rules of Tribal Combat ahead of the match between Roman Reigns & Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Championship on SummerSlam with a promo & a video package. The video showed Afa, Sika & Rikishi were shown in the video before the video cut to Heyman, who state that Jey will never be Tribal Chief. 
    Jey Uso interrupted Paul Heyman and stated that he put Reigns through a table before promising to bring the legacy of his ancestors, his passion, and his drive to become the new WWE Universal Champion. Solo Sikoa came to the ring to confront Jey, but Jey said that he would always forgive him. Jey told Sikoa that all he does is take orders, saying that Heyman is telling him the same stuff he used to tell Jey, which led to Sikoa staring daggers at Heyman. Uso hit a Thrust Kick on Sikoa before telling Hyeman to inform Reigns that he would see him tomorrow night & Sikoa later tonight.

  • Grayson Waller hosted a new episode of “The Grayson Waller Effect” with Damage CTRL (Bayley & Iyo Sky) being the guests. Bayley promised that Iyo Sky would become a champion, but a “Bayley” voiceover sounded around the arena. It was revealed to be a prank from Waller, which made Bayley rant on Waller.
    After that prank, Shotzi’s TCB tank appeared on the ramp, but it ended up a trap. Shotzi appeared in the ring and confronted Bayley. Shotzi punched Bayley before trying to cut Bayley’s hair with a razor, but Bayley responded by running out of the arena. Meanwhile on the ramp, Zelina Vega was revealed to be the driver of the TCB Tank, leading to her match against Iyo Sky after the commercial break.
