Smackdown begins with Solo Sikoa bragging about how Sami Zayn came to a show he didn't belong on so Solo went to RAW and stomped him out.

Drew McIntyre cuts a great promo saying he didn't attack Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes attacked him first. Drew explains that Cody was thinking about putting him through a table during the tag match with Cena and Logan Paul so Drew was taking him out in defense.
"I did not attack Cody Rhodes last week, he attacked me."@DMcIntyreWWE has gone off the rails 😅 pic.twitter.com/LAGCF1icRm

Sami Zayn thinks Jacob Fatu is going to treat him like the other Bloodline members did but Jacob doesn't like Sami.
Sami asks if they're cool and Jacob tells Jimmy to make sure Sami stays out of his way.
"Make sure he stays the hell out my way."
