Sasha and Charlotte are about to go into it, with Becky saying she'll meet either of them at Survivor Series. Sasha says SmackDown is her brand, while Charlotte says nobody remembers her as Champion. The Boss attacks The Queen. She ends her attack with a Meteora from the apron to the floor. Looks like a face turn.

Charlotte gives her title up, while Becky tries to take it without giving up. The Man reluctantly throws her title to the mat before grabbing the RAW Women's Title. The Queen asks Becky if she wants a Winner Take All Match tonight before Sasha Banks comes out.

Sonya goes over the logistics around the title exchange, with Becky Lynch going to RAW and Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. She asks the two of them to give their respective Championships.

Nakamura hits a knee on the mid-section of Corbin, draped on the middle rope. He goes for Kinshasa but Corbin nearly counters it into End of Days. Boogs plays Nakamura's theme to pump him up, but Madcap Moss attacks him. Nakamura is distracted by this, which allows Corbin to throw him into the steel steps. He finishes the IC Champ off with the End of Days.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Happy Corbin - Championship Contender's Match

WWE News: Brock Lesnar lays out Adam Pearce after getting suspended on SmackDown

#SmackDown just got turned up to 11! 🤘🎸

Intercontinental Champion @ShinsukeN is in action NEXT!@PatMcAfeeShow @rickboogswwe pic.twitter.com/QIW7PHJIJo

Rick Boogs plays Shinsuke Nakamura to the ring. He will face Happy Corbin in a Championship Contender's Match, despite tons of new talent arriving on SmackDown. Couldn't Ricochet or somebody else get a spotlight here, instead of repeating a match we've seen for months earlier this year? Just a thought.

Kayla Braxton is outside the medical room to find out Adam Pearce's condition. Sonya Deville comes out and says he will eventually be okay, before bemoaning how she's been left to deal with the Women's Title exchange on her own.
