WWE Smackdown Live kicks off with Elias and Shane McMahon backstage. Elias says he got too invested in his concert at Money in the Bank that he wasted all his energy in it and lost focus. And he feels like he let Shane down and Shane deserves better.

Elias tells Shane he will be in his corner at Super Show-Down. Shane says he doesn’t need him in his corner against Elias but that Shane will be in Elias’ corner later tonight during his match against Roman Reigns.

We cut to the ring where The New Day’s song hits and WWE champion Kofi Kingston comes down to the ring with Xavier Woods. Kofi gets on the mic and says that tonight is a very special night. Xavier says “Ladies and gentlemen, after 6 long, hard, cold weeks, tonight, marks the return of Big E!”

Xavier Woods walks to the stage with someone dressed in a black curtain. They take off the black curtain and the person is not Big E. Kofi asks who he is. Xavier says he’s not E. They kick him out and apologize to the fans. Kofi says “The real Big E” and out comes Big E to with Kofi and Xavier to the ring.

In the ring, there’s a big “Welcome Back, Big E” banner with gifts wrapped in two corners of the ring. Big E asks to sell Kofi and Xavier Woods. Kofi looks a little surprised as Big E says how he has missed them. And how he has missed the WWE Universe. Woods tells Big E that he has been crushing it on Twitter and that Becky Lynch’s mother is taken. Big E says “But she’s so fine”.

How long was he out, 6 weeks? He was gone for over 9 months and got nothing when he came back. Big E says he made a good point and they should get him something. Big E tells Zayn they will get him the same thing his friend Kevin Owens got at Money in the Bank. And that is nothing.

Owens hands his microphone over to Sami and walks to the back. Sami says the only reason Kevin didn’t beat Kofi in 5 minutes is because he was distracted after seeing his friend beat down and missed his chance at being Money in the Bank. Sami says this whole celebration is disgusting. It’s disgusting how they can continue to talk about pancakes when they should look in the mirror and take accountability in what a toxic culture they’ve created. After every word Sami says, Woods plays the trumpet. Sami says their night is not going to end in fun because he will beat Kofi and when he is done, he will be lucky to just be walking out at all.

Kingston tells Sami not to let the smile fool him. When it’s time to throw down, they throw down. And not only will he walk out on his own two feet but he will walk through him. Big E adds “Because” as the fans chant “New Day Rocks”.
