SmackDown begins live with Logan Paul making his entrance. Paul begins his promo before the commentary team is done with their introduction.

Heyman and Paul shake hands and Heyman says Paul’s name to incredibly loud boos from the crowd. Heyman says Paul could be a Paul Heyman guy. Heyman then references Paul’s brother Jake Paul fighting Anderson Silva, the crowd boos at the mention of Jake Paul. Heyman says he doesn’t care about anything Logan Paul has done, he needs to make the smart decision and pick a fight with someone other than Roman Reigns.
Paul says it only takes one lucky shot for him to drop Roman Reigns, and that one shot is all he needs to take the title from Reigns. Heyman gets closer to Paul and calls out Solo Sikoas name. Sikoa jumps on the ring apron and to calm down the situation Sami Zayn gets in the ring as the crowd goes wild in love for Sami Zayn. Zayn gets Sikoa to jump down from the ring apron. Zayn tells Heyman that he should be the one to handle Logan Paul.
