John Cena, Baron Corbin and Daniel Bryan In-Ring Segment: 

Cena is fired up like the Toronto crowd. Cena sayss that on any night, WWE provides moments that will last a lifetime. The stage was set last week, a dream match will a SummerSlam title opportunity on the line. Super Cena was going one on one with the King of Strong Style. Why would the WWE Universe chanted for Nakamur? Well Cena found out really quick that, Nakamura hits hard, real hard. Cena was about to punch his ticket for SummerSlam, then the referee was raising Nakamura’s hand.  He suddenly realized that he lost the match. There was no blind referee, no foul play, no Montreal Screw Job.

Cena shook the hand of the man who earned the right to become the champ. Out of respect, Nakamura shook his hand back. Baron Corbin comes out to interrupt Cena. Corbin wants the love fest to stop.

Shane McMahon, AJ Styles and Kevin Owens In-Ring Segment: 

What’s up Toronto? Shane introduces the participants for the United States Title Rematch at SummerSlam, Kevin Owens and AJ Styles. Shane wants to clear the air. Owens expressed his apprehension last week because Shane wouldn’t be an impartial referee. That was in the heat of the moment and he would like to apologize.  Owens is not afraid of Shane screwing him over because we already had a McMahon screw over a legendary Canadian for a title before. However, Bret Hart deserved it. It would be really terrible PR if Shane did the same to another legendary Canadian. How can Shane be unbiased after the parking lot beatdown Styles gave him back in March? When Daniel Bryan made Shane the guest referee at SummerSlam, Styles wasn’t happy, but let’s honest the officiating hasn’t been great, so does it really matter?  

Owens is trying to stir the pot like a master manipulator. If Shane screws Styles over at SummerSlam, he’ll have to face the repercussions like he did at WrestleMania.

You can see hours of footage of Shane screwing people over as a referee. You could even make a collection out of that. There’s no secret that Shane doesn’t get along with Kevin Owens.  Everybody knows about the war he went through with Styles.  Shane will calls this match right down the middle unless he has to get involved. Styles let’s make this easy for everyone. Let’s get rid of Shane and have the United States Title Rematch right here and right now. That sounds great, but Owens would rather win the United States Title in the United States in a city that really matters. Styles says that what matters is that this is as close as Owens is going to get to the United States Title. Styles and Owens engages in a shoving contest. Owens punches Styles. Styles accidentally drops Shane McMahon with the Pele Kick.
