Opening Miz TV
Miz talked about the IC title and how he would win it back at the Greatest Royal Rumble and he made it prestigious again.
Miz began to introduce Daniel Bryan and made comments about how he felt about his Daughter and claimed Bryan didn't feel the same way about his. Miz was trying to play himself off as a changed man due to his daughter being born in what seemed like an attempt to keep from getting punched by Bryan. Instead, Big Cass came to the ring.
Miz seemed confused that Cass was there and Cass told him to interview him instead because no one cares about Daniel Bryan. He was mad that no one paid attention to him coming back because Bryan's return was bigger. Miz told Cass if he was trying to help him, he didn't need Cass's help. The two bickered and nearly came to blows. Miz backed off and said this was all about Daniel Bryan. Cass began mocking Daniel Bryan. He made a speech about little guys deserving to get beat up.
Cass claimed he would beat Bryan so bad he would never cast a shadow over anyone again. He then left.
The camera cut to the back where Asuka and Becky Lynch were walking. Daniel Bryan was in pain, holding his arm as if he had been beaten.

AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev Day
Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev Day won by pinfall. AJ angrily attacked Nakamura after the match until Nakamura hit him with another low blow. Anderson got in the way deliberately when Nakamura was going to hit AJ with his finisher. He hit Anderson with another as AJ tried to help.
