A SmackDown segment showed Braun Strowman interrupting the Imperium leader. The New Face of Destruction confronted The Intercontinental Champion demanding a shot at his title.
Gunther dismissed him and continued to walk, which made Strowman get angry and The Black Sheep attacked him. This led the Imperium to attack Braun. Having the numbers advantage, the Imperium leader was mauling The Monster Among Men.
The Longest-reigning NXT UK Champion locked The Mountain of a Man in an excruciatingly painful hold that was putting a lot of pressure on Strowman’s shoulder and arm. But thankfully The Former Intercontinental Champion arrived on time to save The Abdominal Strowman.
The segment showed Ricochet entering with a chair in his hand to take down the Imperium. Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci were successful in dodging Ricochet’s chair shots, but Ring General was not so lucky. The Imperium Leader got accidentally hit by the edge of the chair as he was retreating to the floor.
