IIconics and Carmella
The IIconics and Carmella have a brief backstage interaction, and they are so money together. The IIconics state that they are better than Asuka and insult Renee Young (and Canada as a whole) before hijacking Renee’s interview with Carmella. The three of them immediately click, and, well, we should be in for a fun tag match tonight.
The Bar And The New Day Meet
The Bar met The New Day backstage, and The New Day tried to give them a welcoming gift of a platter of pancakes. Sheamus and Cesaro flip the pancakes, causing Big E to go nuts. Sheamus then challenges Xavier Woods to a match.
It’s not even funny how far The Bar have come as a tag team since their first program with The New Day on Raw at the end of 2016.
"Tonight, your soul is MINE!" @XavierWoodsPhD is ready to go one-on-one with @WWESheamus! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/4dBv93aNWk

Rusev Ditching Aiden English
Rusev and Aiden English are backstage, but Lana appears and starts talking without her accent. Yes, that did happen. Then, she says that Rusev is being held back, and the camera moves over to Aiden English.
Please don’t do this! English and Rusev have been awesome together, and it will be sad to see them break up, especially since it would leave English in a weird spot. But on the other hand, it could honestly be good for Rusev…
