Orton tries to enter the ring but Rusev doesn't let him in. The two have a stare-off before Orton picks up the mic and then enters the ring; he tells Rusev that he hasn't beaten him and that he could be his opponent for Summerslam.

Rusev speaks something in an unknown language and when Rusev tries to attack Orton, Orton lands an RKO... outta nowhere...

Rusev gets on the mic and says that he was promised competition after coming to SmackDown Live, but that he hasn't been given competition as everyone is afraid of him, and that's why he doesn't have an opponent at Summerslam.

As Rusev's music hits, Randy Orton enters the arena...

Perhaps Randy Orton vs Rusev could be the match-up at Summerslam 2017.

But he counters and kicks him out of the ring... Rusev recovers and hits a huge kick and locks in the Accolade, and Gable, who was dazed from the previous kicks, taps out.

Rusev wins against Chad Gable.

Rusev goes for a suplex, but Gable lands on his feet but Rusev hits a huge shot to the face and the cover... but it's just the two count. Gable looks dazed and confused. Gable gets Rusev's ankle in a lock and the big man is crying in pain...

Back from the break, Gable is showing his potential by landing three belly-to-bellies and goes for the cover, but just the two count. Rusev is down and Gable has the advantage. Rusev tries to dislodge Gable from the top rope, but Gable shifts Rusev to the other side. He lands a moonsaw and the cover, but Rusev kicks out.

Rusev lands a huge suplex on Gable and covers but it's just the two count, as we go to the break...

Gable tries to grab hold of Rusev but the Bulgarian throws his opponent around. Gable tries to get a hold of Rusev, now he grabs the ropes. Gable is thrown outside the ring, but he quickly returns and gets him in a hold and works on Rusev's left knee.
