Hardy was taken into custody but returned at the end of the show and attacked Sheamus.

Hardy thanked WWE and FOX for giving him the time to speak. He discussed the hit and run incident and Elias’ injuries.

The Miz and John Morrison were sitting in a white van with spying equipment. They watched Universal Champion Braun Strowman arrive.
Back from the break, The Miz & John Morrison talked about annoying co-workers. They noted that some people might say what they’re about to do next is senseless and idiotic. They promised to make Strowman’s life a living hell until Backlash.

Renee Young was in the ring with the Intercontinental Championship title. She introduced her guests Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles. Styles knows that Bryan’s going to call him a coward because he took the bye to the finals. Bryan noted Styles shows traits of being a coward.
Styles pointed out he did the smart thing by taking the bye, but Bryan is stupid for taking on Sheamus last week. Bryan noted they have two very different world views. Bryan’s vision of being the I.C. champion is defending the title every week against upcoming stars and veterans.
Styles noted he doesn’t give handouts. He mocked Drew Gulak and said, that’s another handout. Bryan and Styles were good in this segment. It was a simple segment as they both want to win the I.C. title but have different views on what type of champion to be.
