Ali started off strong and hit a Superkick on the champ. He took too much time to climb up the ropes and Nakamura hit the reverse exploder suplex. The champ now looked to turn the lights out but Ali hit a big superkick to stop him. Ali went for the top rope finisher but Shinsuke rolled out of the way. He prepared for the Kinshasa but Ali got a quick roll-up pin, beating the Intercontinental Champion in a quick match.
Randy Orton was onscreen in a pre-recorded promo where he reiterated that Kofi's success was all because of him and the fact that he injured Ali before WrestleMania. The New Day were backstage and said they were not scared of the Viper or AJ Styles. Kofi said that SmackDown was no longer the house that AJ Styles built, but it was the Palace of Positivity or the POP.
