"Stone Cold" Steven Austin shows up to start tonight's show. He's glad to be back in Dallas, Texas after years of stomping mudholes in people's asses in the town. He reminds everyone about tonight's episode of the Stone Cold Podcast, then introduces a man that he goes a long way back with: the Undertaker. The Undertaker shows up, and he has a microphone in his hand. He tells Brock Lesnar that the depths of Hell will look like the gates to Heaven compared to where he's taking him this Sunday. Suddenly, Lesnar shows up along with Paul Heyman, who says that Undertaker simply lusts for revenge after the death of The Streak at WrestleMania 30, and says Lesnar took everything from him. The Undertaker tells Heyman that when he takes everything away from a man, that man has nothing to lose...and that this was his mistake. Heyman turns around to leave, but Brock Lesnar slowly heads into the ring and leaps onto the apron. Heyman tells Lesnar not to fight him, as 'Taker has gotten into his head. Lesnar smiles, then leaps off the apron and leaves with Heyman.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat John Cena and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) after D-Von is distracted and Xavier Woods grabs the tights. After the match, Cena and the Dudleys fight off The New Day, and Xavier Woods goes through a table again.
Randy Orton is unable to appear tonight due to an injury, supposedly at the hands of The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman). As a result, he is out of the kick-off match for Hell in a Cell and Dean Ambrose will have to find a new tag team partner for tonight.
Renee Young interviews Dean Ambrose. He doesn't want to wait until Sunday and wants to fight Luke Harper and Braun Strowman right now.
Team Bella (Nikki Bella and Alicia Fox) beat Team BAD (Naomi and Sasha Banks).
Corporate Kane is suspended from tonight's show after his actions last week.
Shawn Michaels shows up. He talks about how he was in the first Hell in a Cell Match with The Undertaker way back when, and mentions Sunday night's Hell in a Cell matches. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up. He says that The Heartbreak Kid should have started off the second hour of the show by introducing him. Shawn calls Seth a buzzkill, but Seth says the order to introduce him came from Triple H, and then goes on to say that Seth should be talking about him before calling himself "Shawn Michaels version 2" and saying that he's better than the original. Shawn finds this funny, as he was too busy being one of the greatest to ever live to worry about being the second coming of anything. After Shawn namedrops Kane, Seth says that Shawn is jealous of him as his World Heavyweight Championship win eclipsed all of Shawn's WrestleMania moments put together. Seth tells the guys in the back to hit his music, but they don't do it. Shawn tells him that when you're version 2 of anything, they won't do it, and says that Seth isn't going anywhere as he has a match Ryback tonight...and it's up next. Shawn then tells the guys in the back to hit his music...and they do.
Seth Rollins beats Ryback.
Sheamus, Rusev and King Barrett beat Dolph Ziggler, Neville and Cesaro.
This Thursday on SmackDown: Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae guest on Miz TV!
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is in the ring. He announces that Dean Ambrose is teaming up with Roman Reigns tonight. Roman Reigns shows up, and as soon as he does, The Wyatt Family suddenly make their entrance. Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman are there, but in a strange twist, Erick Rowan is suddenly back from injury and has strangely replaced Luke Harper with absolutely no explanation as to why. Roman gets two chairs ready, and invites Wyatt to the ring. Wyatt carefully gets in the ring and sits down. Roman calls Wyatt a bully, and says that he gets off on 3-on-1 attacks on him. He tells Wyatt that he should be afraid of him as he pushes him repeatedly, then attacks Wyatt before Wyatt can attack him. He takes down Wyatt, Rowan (who is finally mentioned by commentary) and Strowman, and Ambrose rushes in to back up Roman. The Wyatts retreat.
Backstage, Seth Rollins, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have watched the recent promo, and Triple H and Stephanie don't want a handicap match between The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) and the team of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Rollins volunteers himself to be the third man to go up against The Wyatts after a proposal - and some coaxing - from Shawn Michaels.
Charlotte beats Brie Bella with the Figure Eight.
Renee Young interviews Paige, who dances around all of her questions, especially about whether or not she attacked Natalya. Paige says it could be anybody, including any past Divas. She tells Renee to get her facts straight.
Kevin Owens beats Mark Henry. After the match, Ryback shows up and Owens tries to flee, but Henry tosses Owens right back into the ring and into the arms of a waiting Ryback, who hits him with a huge powerbomb.
Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins, who insists that the next match is not a Shield reunion and that it is about proving he is "the man." He also says he will destroy Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns again if he has to.
John Cena will defend the WWE United States Championship in an open challenge, and Dolph Ziggler, Neville and Cesaro have a rematch against Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev...both at Hell in a Cell. (The six-man tag match replaces Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper and Braun Strowman as the kick-off match.)
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) ends with Ambrose saving Reigns by whacking Strowman with a kendo stick. During the match, Seth Rollins supposedly injures his knee, leaps off the apron and retreats to the back. Both sides fight after the match, and Ambrose and Reigns come out on top after Reigns hits Spears on both Wyatt and Rowan.
Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
