Shane McMahon will address the Smackdown Women’s Division next.

*Commercial Break*

Rusev will joining SmackDown Live, although no mention of Lana.

Shane McMahon makes his way to the ring. Shane thanks the fans for their warm reception, and then thanks all the former SmackDown talent who moved to Raw. He says SmackDown Live is still the land of opportunity and thus comes the newest additions to the roster.

Shane invites the entire women’s roster to the ring, starting with the Champion, Naomi. Once all the ladies are in the ring, Shane says one of the reasons SmackDown’s women’s division is so great, is because of Naomi. James Ellsworth takes the mic and says that Naomi is a horrible Champion, and the only reason people tune in is Carmella. Naomi grabs the mic and tells Carmella to get Ellsworth into check. Naomi gives the mic back to Shane, who introduces the latest addition to the women’s roster. A second generation star. The daughter of a Hall of Famer…

Tamina comes to the ring and the fans chant for Sasha Banks. Shane says clearly they thought he was going to say a different name, and maybe he was. So, without further ado, perhaps “the greatest acquisition of the Superstar Shake-Up…”

*Commercial Break*

Back live, Aiden English is inside the ring and says the spotlight (the lights dim and a spotlight shines on him) is now on him. English is singing when he is interrupted. Tye Dillinger is headed to the ring to face English next.

English splashes Dillinger in the corner. Dillinger with chops. Dillinger with a takedown on English off the ropes. Dillinger with kicks to English as the crowd chants “10” along. Dillinger exposes the knee and connects with a backbreaker on English to get the pinfall win.

We see a video package focusing on AJ Styles. We get a video showing Lana sitting in a chair, doing a similar dance to the one Summer Rae used to do with Fandango. She’s coming to SmackDown, with what looks like a new gimmick. Hopefully I’m wrong.

*Commercial Break*

We return to see Dolph Ziggler in the middle of the ring. Ziggler says he’s staying right here on SmackDown Live, the show he carried on his back for years. He says people are excited right now about new superstars appearing but next week it will be a little less exciting, and less the week after. Eventually you won’t care and he’ll still be here doing what he does better than anyone. Dolph gets interrupted…

Dolph says he has no idea who Shinsuke is and the fans chant “Nakamura”. Neither man speaks, then the fans sing Nakamura’s music. Dolph hands Shinsuke his microphone, and he reiterates Dolph’s question, then says his name. Dolph turns to walk away, then looks for the superkick but Shinsuke catches it and pushes him back. Nakamura taunts Dolph to bring it but the heel slides from the ring.

We get a video package for Baron Corbin. These packages are a nice way to remind fans that SmackDown already has some huge talent. The Triple Threat is up next!

*Commercial Break*

We return and the commentators discuss Byron joining the team, then show us the next addition to SmackDown Live…
