The Intercontinental Championship celebration opened SmackDown where AJ Styles wanted Daniel Bryan to put the title around his waist. Bryan did so after Styles taunted him for a bit. Soon, Matt Riddle came out to interrupt and deliver a roundhouse kick on Styles to send him out of the ring.

This set up the opening match of SmackDown between Matt Riddle and AJ Styles. Riddle hit AJ with the Bro-mission submission and went for the GTS. AJ countered and locked in the Calf Crusher. Riddle broke the hold as AJ flew back with a Phenomenal Forearm. But he got caught mid-air as Riddle hit the Bro Derek Tombstone to get the win.
