“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video recaps Seth Rollins defeating Brock Lesnar in the main event of WWE SummerSlam last night.

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring to a nice reception. Rollins looks like his ribs are still hurting a lot. Rollins stands in the ring, and the crowd starts chanting, “Burn it down.” Rollins says he doesn’t know any other way to do it but to be honest. Last night… he didn’t know if he had what it took to beat Brock Lesnar. The last few weeks have been the toughest stretch of his career. Last night he walked down that ramp not 100% and facing Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is everything they tout him to be. Lesnar is a beast. The crowd chants, “Beastslayer.” Rollins says last night the crowd came alive and took him to a place he’s never been in his entire career. They took him to a place he couldn’t go alone. Only they can go to that place together. At that moment, he knew he had what it took to slay the beast. Rollins remembered that he is Seth “Freakin” Rollins. That’s why he’s standing here as the Universal Champion.

WWE United States Champion AJ Styles makes his way to the ring alongside Anderson and Gallows. Styles tells Rollins to hold on. The OC gets in the ring. Styles says The OC would like to be the first to congratulate Rollins. The OC politely claps for Rollins. Styles says now it’s going to get tricky. Rollins doesn’t have to worry about Brock Lesnar anymore, but he does have to worry about the man standing in front of him. Styles says ever since he came to his senses, he has a lot to prove. Styles wants to challenge Rollins to prove that he’s a much better champion than him. Rollins smirks and says he’s always had a ton of respect for Styles. A “YES” chant fires up. Styles tells Rollins to listen to the crowd. Rollins says he lost his respect for Styles. Rollins says he isn’t one to back down from a fight so he accepts the challenge. The crowd loudly cheers.

Styles goes for a handshake, but Rollins declines it. Styles orders The OC out of the ring, leaving him and Rollins. Rollins then shakes Styles’ hand. The OC then gets on the apron, and Styles tells Rollins he should be afraid. The crowd is chanting for Styles. The OC walks off.

Rey Mysterio will take on Andrade in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against The Kabuki Warriors. We’ll also see The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler.

NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits are backstage in Toronto Blue Jays sweaters. Montez Ford says with AJ Styles and Seth Rollins, RAW is getting all of the smoke. Angelo Dawkins says he’s a little dehydrated after the SummerSlam afterparty. Ford asks for some electrolytes. Sami Zayn comes up to them and says the longer they’re here, this place will suck their souls. The parasites in the crowd will suck the soul out of them. Zayn says Seth Rollins used to be The Architect and gritty. Now he’s a pandering fool. Becky Lynch used to be real… now she’s manufactured. The Street Profits ask if that happened to Samoa Joe. Zayn says he’s a great example. Zayn runs down Joe as someone who used to be a monster, but now he’s crying over Roman Reigns. Samoa Joe was standing behind him the whole time. Joe challenges him to a match to prove he’s not Kevin Owens’ water boy. Joe shoves him down.

Samoa Joe says he wants to make himself very clear. Even though he forgave Roman Reigns for pointing the finger at him, his forgiveness is extended to no one in the crowd. They perpetuated the lie that he was involved in heinous atrocities, so he forgives none of them. Joe walks off.

The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler made his entrance in his regular clothes. Ziggler is clutching his ribs in pain. Ziggler has a microphone, but the crowd cuts him off with “Goldberg” chants. Ziggler says he hopes Miz is happy and calls him a coward. Everyone knows Miz didn’t have a chance against him at SummerSlam, so he put Goldberg on him at SummerSlam. That was all part of Miz’ plan. Ziggler says he got speared so many times yesterday that he can’t medically compete tonight. Miz’ plan is up in smoke. Miz screwed Miz. All these bloodthirsty Canadians would love to see this match… too damn bad. Ziggler throws down the microphone and goes to leave.

Dolph Ziggler says Miz is a coward and couldn’t beat him at SummerSlam. Miz couldn’t beat him fair and square. Miz isn’t even the best wrestler in his family. Maryse is. This is just a flesh wound, just like Sunday. Miz is nothing. Miz returns to the ring and catches him with a Skull Crushing Finale before walking off!

Charly Caruso is backstage with RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. Lynch takes the microphone and says she’s not here to celebrate. Natalya had a debt to cash, and Lynch gives her respect. Lynch says she will not rest until everyone has been dealt with. This is a cat and mouse game. You have to get her before she gets them. Game on.
