Nakamura and Owens brawled outside the ring before Corbin rolled Styles into the ring and looked to hit the End of Days. Styles reversed it and looked set to hit the Styles Clash when Owens hit him with a Super Kick. KO followed it up with a Pop-Up Powerbomb to AJ Styles to pin him just days ahead of WWE Battleground.

Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin def. AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura

Styles looked to lock in a Calf Crusher but Corbin tossed him across the ring. As Corbin walked up to Styles, he attempted to lock in the Calf Crusher again and was successful this time but Corbin reached the ropes.

Owens and Styles tagged themselves in as AJ came in off the hot tag and took Owens down with a strike combination followed by a running forearm. AJ then planted Owens face-first into the mat for a nearfall. Owens responded with a clothesline and tagged Corbin in.

Corbin then charged at Nakamura but Nakamura sidestepped him. However, Corbin recovered and hit a Deep Six. He then went for a count but Styles broke it up. Nakamura replied with a knee to the guy before catching him with an enzeguiri.

Owens took control after Corbin interjected from the apron. Corbin then tagged himself in and locked in a bear hug on Nakamura.

Owens and Nakamura came in as the legal men, as Nakamura hit the Good Vibrations in the corner, followed by the step-up enzeguiri.

Corbin was all over Styles when we came back from commercial after delivering a right hand to Styles, who was coming in off the springboard.

Baron Corbin looked to blindside Nakamura once again by attacking him during his entrance. Owens and Styles soon joined the fray and we headed to commercial before the match could begin.

We got another hilarious Fashion Files segment with Tyler Breeze and Fandango that ended with them getting package that contained the severed head of a soft toy along with a paper with "Battleground" written on it.

Renee Youngs is backstage with SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi. Naomi says that even though she won't be defending her title at Battleground, she will be the first one to congratulate the winner of the #1 contender's match.

Carmella interferes at this point and tells Naomi that she will go wherever Naomi goes.

Tamina and Lana came out to interfere as Becky and Charlotte shook hands. Natalya took Charlotte and Becky down from behind before Lana took out Natalya to set things up for Sunday's PPV.

Becky then made another attempt to lock in a Disarmer. Charlotte blocked it and went for a Natural Selection but Becky beautifully transitioned it into another attempted Disarmer. Charlotte blocked it and went for a moonsault off the top rope.
Becky moved as Charlotte crashed into the mat. Becky locked in another Disarmer and this time Charlotte couldn't break out of it and was forced to tap.

Becky Lynch def. Charlotte

The crowd were chanting "Becky" when we returned from commercial as Charlotte hit Becky knife-edged chops. She followed it up with a jumping knee before looking to lock in the Figure 4. Becky countered and hit Charlotte with a dropkick followed by a Bexploder. She followed it up with a running forearm for a 2-count.

Becky took Charlotte down with an armdrag before Charlotte taunted Becky with two consecutive somersaults. An unimpressed Becky went for a Disarmer but Charlotte anticipated it and rolled out of the ring.

The two friends face off just days away from the Fatal-5-Way match at WWE Battleground for the #1 Contendership for the SmackDown Women's Championship. The two women lock up as the match begins before we get a great segment of the two avoiding each others offence.

Cena then raised the American flag and waved it as his music hit. Rusev attacked him from behind at this point. After stomping Cena, Rusev hit him with a jumping side kick. Rusev then locked in The Accolade. Cena tried to power out of it but it was just too much.
