That’s Not the Undertaker, You Idiot
As we return from the commercial break a gong hits and Undertaker’s music begins to play. Tom Phillips actually said “Oh my god, is it the Deadman of SmackDown Live?” To which, Corey Graves replied “It’s not the Undertaker, you idiot.”
Of course it wasn’t, Roman Reigns is on Raw. It was none other than Dolph Ziggler, who was doing his whole big thing about entrances or something again. Finally, all the buildup lead to a confrontation with the Glorious Bobby Roode.

Roode said that the two weren’t so different, and then challenged Ziggler to a match at Hell in a Cell.

The two had a decent match, with Charlotte picking up the win. The story however continued to be focused around why Carmella had James Ellsworth leashed like a dog.
Early on Ellsworth helped Carmella get the upper hand by distracting Charlotte, but eventually the better women won and The Queen stood tall.
After the match, Natalya came out to congratulate Charlotte and to give her well wishes to Ric Flair. She went on to say that she is happy that he is going to be well enough to see her beat his overrated daughter at Hell in the Cell.
