In-Ring Segment: Jeff Jarrett, The Usos and The Street Profits
Jarrett comes to the ring to discuss the tag title match at WWE SummerSlam. He says he takes his job as the special guest referee very seriously. Jey Uso wants to know if he’ll get disqualified if he punches Ford. Dawkings wonders if he’ll get DQ’ed if he hits Jey so hard he comes back with his face paint on. Ford gets fired up and gets in Jey’s face. Jarrett says his job is to officiate the match tomorrow, so if the two teams are feeling “froggy”, maybe they should jump. The Street Profits take the fight to The Usos. Jey accidentally superkicks Jarrett. The WE Hall of Famer shoves The Usos, Dawkins shoves them out of the ring, and Ford dives onto the duo. The Street Profits stand tall to close the segment.

In-Ring Segment: Paul Heyman
Heyman hypes up the Last Man Standing Match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. He says that no one has reached 700 days as the Universal Champion, and Lesnar will be the spoiler “over his dead body.” Heyman declares that Reigns will put Lesnar down for 10 seconds, and when he does, “We will all be done with Brock Lesnar once and for all.”
