Orton looks to be ready for the punt but The World's Largest Athlete spears Orton! It's a kickout from Orton!

Orton wisely rolls out of the ring. The Big Show throws him back in but as he climbs back in, Orton hits a dropkick and hits a TOP-ROPE DDT onto The Big Show!

Randy Orton begins by trying to wear down The Big Show, stomping his hand and locking his neck. The Big Show then powers out by slamming Orton's back to the mat

The rest of the footage plays and it shows Lana stepping back and rejecting Aiden English, telling him he misunderstood.

After being exposed, Aiden English says the offer to Lana still stands and that if she gets bored of Rusev Day, she can still have Aiden Nights. Rusev chases him and beats him down, forcing him to flee the arena

Aiden says that "Everyone knows what happens next" and calls out Rusev. He tells him to kick Lana to the curb and reunite Rusev Day.

Lana comes out and Rusev is forced to make a choice. Lana then reveals that if he won't play the rest of the footage, she will. She reveals that he got hacked. His password was "IheartRusev"

He plays the rest of the footage and it shows Lana saying "I want you....to know how much you mean to Rusev." Aiden English then went close to her and things looked to be heading a certain way but he PAUSED IT. He refused to show the rest of the footage and called out Rusev

Aiden English is out and he gives a "director's cut" of One Night In Milwaukee!

Styles says he's not moving out of the way for Bryan and then asks him how it feels to punch The Miz in the face. The Miz loses it and says that his win was a fluke at Super Show-Down.

He says he's reviewed the footage and says that his shoulder was up. He then takes a shot at Styles saying that the title has never been more irrelevant. He asks him "You know why the WWE title never headlines PPVs? Look in the mirror"

He then sets him up with a match against Shelton Benjamin

.@WWEDanielBryan doesn't THINK he can beat @WWE Champion @AJStylesOrg...

He KNOWS he can, and he'll have the chance to at #WWECrownJewel! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/f8NnJnnPZB

The respect and niceties between @WWEDanielBryan & @AJStylesOrg are real, and, quite frankly, @mikethemiz is DISGUSTED by it! #SDLive #MizTV pic.twitter.com/59Oas2hw2V

Bryan understands what Miz does. He also says that AJ Styles has earned the right to think he's better, but that he knows that he can beat AJ Styles. The champ tells him that since he's come back, he's never faced ANYONE like him

AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan shake hands in a show of respect. Miz tell them no one wants to see that.

Bryan takes a shot at him for beating him fast. The Miz hits back saying that he's going to act professional. He asks Styles where Bryan where he ranks among his opponents. He also tries to instigate a war between the two.

Per #SDLive GM @RealPaigeWWE, @BeckyLynchWWE & @MsCharlotteWWE will battle for the #SDLive #WomensTitle at #WWEEvolution... in the FIRST-EVER #LastWomanStanding match!!! pic.twitter.com/E6hcf8qqS9

The Miz asks Styles how his family is after his war with Samoa Joe. Styles seems touchy but Miz assures him that he has a kid too and it didn't work out bad for Styles since he DID win the match, which is true.

He asks him how he feels now that he has an opponent who doesn't use psychological warfare, a guy who, if he goes to Styles' house will tend to his garden, a guy who won't attack him from behind. He unenthusiastically introduces Daniel Bryan

Different angle, same carnage.

Despite @MsCharlotteWWE requiring medical attention, she WILL compete in tonight's @WWE Mixed Match Challenge, exclusively on Facebook Watch! #WWEMMC #SDLive pic.twitter.com/iHa50kq9Ej
