Description
This was truly one of the worst episodes that WWE produced all year, and they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
The fallout from Money In The Bank, and SmackDown was horrendous. Cody Rhodes wrestled Baron Corbin in the Main Event to prove to Randy Orton he has killer instinct heading into Crown Jewel, and Sami Zayn sends Johnny Gargano to take care of Trick Williams.
