We are back and Xavier says today is an important day that each of you have been waiting for. Kofi says today is the actual return of Big E.
Big E says your boy is back . . . again. The way things are going, if he had a title run for every return, he would be Charlotte Flair.
Xavier says it is time to get down to business. For the first time in two months, they are back and they have a match. They will end that match quickly so he can get back to E3. They are going up against Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Dolph Ziggler.
Kofi says it is three dudes who have tried to hold down the New Day. Xavier asks Kofi what happened when he went up against Sam Zayn? Kofi says he beat him. Xavier asks Kofi what happened when he faced Kevin Owens. Kofi says he beat him. Xavier asks what happened when he faced Dolph Ziggler on Friday. Kofi says he beat him.
Kofi says there will not be any sneak attacks or hit and runs. Dolph will not be able to run away from him. Kofi says he will remain your WWE Champion.
Dolph Ziggler's music interrupts and he comes to the stage. Dolph says he put Kofi on a pedestal and that you earned everything you got, but you betrayed him and everyone in the crowd. You cowered and you betrayed yourself. There is only one reason you are still WWE Champion.
We see the footage from the match on Friday.
Dolph says the footage does not lie and you have to admit that it should have been him. At Stomping Grounds, there will be nowhere for you to run and nowhere for you to hide and no one to save you from him. You and I will be locked inside a steel cage and then the world will know what Dolph has known all along. Without your friends and taking the easy way out, you can never beat him.
Kofi says Dolph forgot to show that Dolph kicked Xavier in the face. Did you think he wasn't going to do anything to retaliate?
Kevin Owens' music interrupts and he is joined by Sami Zayn.
Sami says that he cannot stand injustice. That is what we have going on here. If Sami Zayn came out and kicked Kofi Kingston in his face to help Kevin Owens win the title at Money in the Bank, everyone would have been up in arms seeking justice. When Xavier Woods kicks poor Dolph Ziggler in the face and helps Kofi retain the championship, you are all okay with that. It shows that these disgusting people do not care about justice. These people have no morals or ethical code. All that matters is who you like and don't like. Sami says they only care about righting wrongs.
Sami says Kevin and Sami enjoy every opportunity to beat up the New Day.
Big E says they enjoyed watching you get attacked by Seth Rollins with a chair last night.
Sami says this is another example of hypocrisy. If anyone else wore that referee shirt, there would have been suspensions or firings. You are all hypocrites.
Dolph says the biggest hypocrite of them all is in the center of the ring with the WWE Title.
Big E says this championship run is not about all of you, it is about a man who is will to walk through fire to show that he is the very best.
Kofi says that Dolph said that he took the coward's way out. He will be taking names at Stomping Grounds and he will take Dolph's name.
Big E says they will give you three a free preview of Stomping Grounds.
Bayley walks in the back and she is asked about Alexa's comments about liking offensive tweets about Nikki Cross. Bayley says she likes Nikki and she says that she hopes Alexa is ringside so she can watch what will happen at Stomping Grounds.
Aleister Black says for the men and women of Smackdown, there is so much conflict, but so little resolution. He offers both and it is so simple. The resolution is that he fights you, but there is no one at his door. We do not have to fight over trivial things like the love of another woman or man, ideologies, or turf. It can be so simple. Aleister asks for the door to be opened. Aleister says the door is wide open and he wants anybody to pick a fight with him.
