Kicking off the show was a ticked off Tiffany Stratton, who entered the ring with no entrance music and a mic in hand. Incensed with Cargill for last week's attack, Stratton called out her SNME opponent for a fight on the spot.

The final "SmackDown" before Saturday Night's Main Event saw Drew McIntyre get the upper hand, crashing Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes through a table.
