Here is what happened on the show tonight:

The show begins with Michael Cole in the ring. He introduces Pat McAfee and he comes to the ring as Cole takes his position on commentary. He apologizes to the WWE universe for making them listen to Corey Graves and Happy Corbin on commentary last week. He then points to a video package that shows Corbin attacking him at "Money in the Bank", which of course led to him missing last week's show. He tells fans that his neck was only bruised and they shouldn't worry. He goes on to say he remembers being roommates with Corbin while they were both rookies for the Indiana Colts. He says he remembers him being humble, but as soon as he got to WWE he became an 'arrogant douchebag'. He says at "Summerslam", he will humble him back to being a good man.

Corbin appears on the Titan Tron. He tells McAfee that he constantly runs his mouth. He says he would come to the ring, then shows the bruises on his arm and says he doesn't want to get hurt anymore. He says that he's staying far from now and he will see McAfee at "Summerslam". McAfee says that the real reason he isn't coming to the ring is that he is actually afraid, then introduces Liv Morgan.

Liv Morgan comes to the ring as Michael Cole comes to the ring. We head to a commercial.

We head backstage to McKenzie Mitchell and Theory. He says that it is hard to be him, and with great power comes great responsibility. Paul Heyman walks in and sends Mitchell away.

Winner: Angelo Dawkins

Adam Pearce comes to the ring and says that he understands why both teams are upset, which is why their Undisputed Tag Team Championship match at "Summerslam" needs a guest referee. He gestures to The Titan Tron and a video package plays to reveal Jeff Jarrett as the guest referee.
