Owens gets Nakamura in a headlock once more and when he tries to break the lock is thrown to the ground... Owens covers and it's just the two count.

... Owens still has Nakamura in the headlock as Orton and Zayn watch on from ringside. Owens lands another kick when Nakamura tries to break out of the headlock. Nakamura eventually does and then gets a huge kick to Owens's shoulder.

The brothers then complain about how they travel economy while Mahal travels first class and that they have to stay in motels while Mahal lodges in 5-star hotels.

Styles then asks why the Singhs were by Jinder's side at the live event in India if they're not happy with him?

WWE Champion AJ Styles makes his way to the ring and hypes up his match against Jinder Mahal at Clash of Champions.

He says he doesn't want to lose what he once had, alluding to his WWE Championship. Styles says Jinder Mahal will do anything and everything to get his championship back but he's interrupted by the Singh Brothers.

The brothers say that they usually would introduce The Modern Day Maharaja, but not this week as a video package of Mahal beating up the Singhs is played. Could the brothers be turning babyface?

The show kicks off with a recap of the Kevin Owens and Same Zayn's feud against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Owens & Zayn are drumming up support backstage with an 'Occupy SmackDown' signage, protesting against Shane McMahon's treatment of them and call it the 'Yep!' movement!

Shinsuke Nakamura clashes with Kevin Owens this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE

The fate of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be decided during a tag team battle against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Clash of Champions, as the troublesome duo’s careers in all of WWE will be on the line. But before the huge showdown in Boston, KO will have to step inside the squared circle with The King of Strong Style on this Tuesday’s edition of SmackDown LIVE, with Zayn and Orton in their partner’s respective corners.

After Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan forced Owens to be handcuffed to the ring rope to prevent him from interfering in Orton and Zayn’s match this past Tuesday, KO used bolt cutters to escape and subsequently unleash a vicious attack on The Viper, with a little help from his best friend. The assault was thwarted thanks to the Nakamura, who burst onto the scene and clobbered KO and Zayn with thunderous Kinshasa knee strikes.What will happen when these two rivals lock horns?

WWE Champion AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal come face to face tonight on SmackDown LIVE

WWE Champion AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal are on a collision course set for WWE Clash of Champions. However, the bitter rivals will come face to face one last time before their battle in Boston tonight on SmackDown LIVE.Mahal has been in a rage since his WWE Title reign came to an end in Manchester, England last month at the hands of The Phenomenal One.

The Modern Day Maharaja unleashed his fury on Styles last week, blindsiding the champion before he was set to take on Mahal’s associates, The Singh Brothers, in a Handicap Match. Despite the attack, Samir & Sunil were no match for the victorious Styles, who even booted Mahal in the face when he tried to interfere.

All six women are upset at being left out of the title picture and confronted Smackdown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan about it last week, leading to the announcement of the Lumberjack Match for the title. Yet, with tensions running high throughout Team Blue’s Women’s division, this match has been made in hopes that the tension won’t spill over into the title bout.
