– Tonight’s WWE SmackDown opens with a quick promo before going to the opening video package. We’re live from Cleveland with Mauro Ranallo, David Otunga and JBL.
– We go right to the ring and out comes Randy Orton to a pop.
Orton addresses Bray Wyatt and says Bray does the things he does because he’s afraid. Orton says it’s nothing to be ashamed of because people are afraid of many things… heights, spiders… snakes. Orton says Wyatt is afraid of him. Orton says there’s been enough sneak attacks, he calls Wyatt to the ring if he’s man enough to come face his fears. The lights flash and we go backstage somewhere to Wyatt. Wyatt cuts a promo about how he’s a god and this is his world. Wyatt says he makes the rules and Orton is in no position to make demands. If Orton wants to hurt Wyatt, he better hurry because the sands of time wait for no mortal man. Wyatt is holding an hour-glass. He starts singing “The Whole World” and laughs to end the promo. Orton takes off to the back and it looks like he’s going hunting for Wyatt.
– The announcers hype tonight’s main event. Charly Caruso approaches Dean Ambrose backstage and asks what’s going through his mind. He says a lot is going through his mind but this is a PG show. Ambrose calls his win over John Cena last week old news, just like Cena is. Ambrose says he’s going to turn the face that runs the place into the guy that’s going to cry when he takes back the WWE World Title tonight.
– Still to come, a big eight-man tag team match. We go to commercial.
