[We see a clip of last week’s Smackdown when JBL and Baron Corbin ended up in a locker room with the lights going off and Wyatt in front of them. Cole says they received a QR code which is a video of what happened last week. We see JBL and Corbin tied up wearing masks with Bray’s voice playing. Bray laughs as he removes the mask off JBL and Corbin. JBL and Corbin have their mouths taped shut. We cut to the arena and JBL and Corbin are walking around backstage looking around. We come back from commercial and JBL and Corbin are in the ring. JBL says for the past few weeks, they’ve been blindsided, abducted and tied up. JBL says they’re still knocking on Bray’s door. JBL says Bray says it wasn’t him, but Howdy, but he knows it was him, they heard him. JBL calls Bray out. Wyatt comes out and tells JBL he and Corbin are barking up the wrong tree. Wyatt tells JBL he’ll give him one last chance to deliver his message and make it worth his while. As Bray is getting in the ring, Corbin attacks him in the corner. A video package plays with Uncle Howdy asking what Corbin has done. Smoke fills the entrance and out comes Uncle Howdy. Corbin and JBL back away as we hear Uncle Howdy’s laugh fill the arena. JBL and Corbin leave the ring with Wyatt and Uncle Howdy laughing.]
