Sikoa demanded a rematch for Rhodes' championship. Cody said Solo couldn't get the job done on his own, and said he's cosplaying as the "Tribal Chief."
Solo, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa were going to enter the ring, but Kevin Owens grabbed two chairs, one for Cody, and scared off The Bloodline.

Owens was exiting the ring, but Cody brought him back and said he wants to put his gold on the line against KO at Bash in Berlin.
Owens said he doesn't deserve a title match and he must earn that chance.
Rhodes said Owens is still the "Prizefighter" in his prime. He said he will talk to Nick Aldis to vouch for his title shot even if he doesn't want it.

โ WWE (@WWE) August 10, 2024
LA Knight said the game doesn't change despite being the United States Champion. He said he understands he's a marked man, but he feels he's been targeted ever since he joined the SmackDown brand.
Santos Escobar made his way out and insisted he was sincere in congratulating Knight for his title win.
With that said, Santos isn't buying LA Knight as a titleholder. He said Knight is only an opening act to his future reign.
Knight said no matter who it is that challenges him they won't be able to take the U.S. title from him.
A vignette for Giovanni Vinci played.
