We then see Legado Del Fantasma’s Angel and Berto blindside Apollo Crews ahead of Angel’s match with Crews.

We then get a video featuring the events that took place last week between WWE Women’s Champion Bayley and Chelsea Green.

WWE Women’s Champion Bayley then makes her way down to the ring to address the WWE Universe.

Bayley starts off by saying she will be stepping into unfamiliar territory when she defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Piper Niven at Clash At The Castle. Before Bayley can continue, Niven’s music hits and she makes her way down to the ring along with Chelsea Green. Green then tells Bayley she talks a big old game for being a big old loser and the reason fans are booing her is because they are losers too. Green then says Bayley was a loser in Saudi Arabia and last week, her tag team partner Naomi was a loser as well. Green then says Bayley will be a loser again at Clash At The Castle.

Bayley then recalls beating Chelsea Green in Saudi Arabia and says while she relates to being the mouthpiece for someone being big and strong, Niven doesn’t need her. Bayley then says she respects Niven and she has appreciated what Niven can do in the ring since the Mae Young Classic. Bayley then says she knows that their WWE Women’s Championship means everything to Niven with her wrestling in front of her family, friends and former colleagues in her home country and she knows what it feels like to lose. Bayley then says while Niven could have asked for a championship match, she didn’t. Bayley then tells Niven she is going to have some fun beating her. Niven then grabs the mic from Green and says she is waiting to beat Bayley down in her home country of Scotland. Niven then says she is glad Bayley has respect for her and her journey and she will take it more to heart if Bayley knew more about her and her journey. Niven then says the Mae Young Classic was in 2017 and she has been clawing her way out of the trenches. Niven then says she has been putting Scottish wrestling on the map and while Bayley was busy hugging people, she was making a name for herself in the United Kingdom winning titles. Niven then says if Bayley knew how dangerous she was, she wouldn’t stand so close to her. Niven then says she hopes Bayley’s respect for her makes it a little less painful when she wins the WWE Women’s Championship at Clash At The Castle. Niven and Bayley then stare each other down and Bayley holds up her title.

WWE United States Champion Logan Paul then sends a message and says he needs an actual challenge, so he is going to compete in the World Tetris Championships. Paul then says he competes with the best in the world and Knight has done nothing to merit his attention. Paul then calls Knight a hillbilly and tells Knight to go back to the mid-card where he belongs.

Niven and Green were then shown walking backstage and they run into Nick Aldis, who was talking to Naomi. Naomi then warns Green to keep her name out her mouth. Naomi then gets in Green’s face and Aldis stops everyone, saying he doesn’t have time for this. Aldis then makes a match between Naomi and Chelsea Green for next week’s SmackDown. Next week’s SmackDown will also see Michin face Nia Jax in a Singles Match and The Grayson Waller Effect will take place with special guests #DIY.

We then get the entrances of the main event, which is a 6-Man Tag Team Match.
