LA Knight Versus Santos Escobar: This was here to get Knight some momentum heading into SummerSlam against United States Champion Logan Paul, which it did. Knight started off with some varied offense on Escobar. Elektra Lopez distracting Knight was just enough for Escobar to gain the upper hand and keep Knight grounded for awhile. Knight however was able to mount a comeback, and the crowd was really getting behind him in the later stages of this contest. Logan Paul made his presence known on the apron, looking to hit Knight before being reversed and knocked off the apron. Escobar looked as if he was going to win when he had Knight up for a fireman’s carry, but it got reversed into a BFT, giving Knight the win. Post match, Paul and Escobar beat down Knight, with Paul hitting Knight with a frog splash off the top rope to end the assault.
WINNER: LA KNIGHT

Cody Rhodes (WWE Champion) Segment: We had a segment where Cody Rhodes warned Solo Sikoa that while he may think he is the Tribal Chief, he is simply a seat filler. Rhodes said that this new Bloodline is a doppelganger version of the OG Bloodline, but did say they were as dangerous as ever. Rhodes said that while he may be going into SummerSlam alone, he is the WWE Champion, meaning he is the best in the business. Rhodes challenged Sikoa to meet him in the ring next week on SmackDown, alone. Only then, Rhodes said he will know whether Sikoa is truly the Head Of The Table, or the same old Enforcer he has always been.
