Edge spears Seth Rollins and continues to beat him up. He gets the rod from the chair that he has used recently, but Seth escapes.

Edge challenges Rollins to a HELL IN A CELL MATCH!

Seth talks about Edge's daughters, meanwhile the Hall of Famer arrives in his car and rushes to the ring.

Seth asks where The Rated-R Superstar has gone, before saying he ended him with a Stomp at Madison Square Garden. The Architect says that if Edge does not answer his challenge, it is an admission that Seth Rollins is better than him. He says Edge is disappointing him, the fans, and his family.

Seth tells Edge to come out and answer his challenge. He says Edge can name the time, place, and stipulation for their next match, even if it is in his living room. That would be quite the brawl, to be fair.

Becky Lynch will face Sasha Banks in the main event next week, which is a super-sized edition of SmackDown.

Seth Rollins comes to the ring to properly challenge Edge to a third match.

Becky Lynch is pretty miffed at how tonight's "contract signing" went. She complains to Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce, who convince her to sign the contract for the triple threat match at Crown Jewel. The contract was left unsigned as Becky, Bianca, and Sasha started brawling.

Balor catches Cesaro with an Enziguiri from the apron and goes for the Coup de Grace. He isn't stopped by a faulty rope. Instead, Cesaro hits a ring-rattling Superplex. He then locks in the crossface.

Balor hits a Reverse DDT for a two-count before Cesaro gets the uppercut train going. However, Balor stops it with a slingblade.
