Kicking off SmackDown tonight was none other than SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, and she was in a good mood when she took the microphone. Her introduction was cut short though by the Dirty Dawgs Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, who came out to say they were here to introduce the show. They were then interrupted by the Street Profits, who were then interrupted by Bayley. Bayley came out to address Belair.
Bayley laughed at Belair and got punched by the Champion. Belair started taking off her earrings but was tackled by Bayley and then all hell broke loose, as the Dirty Dawgs and Street Profits hit the ring and started brawling.
