– Zelina Vega approaches Adam Pearce in his office. Vega says the WWE Draft is next week and she can’t control what happens to her, but she can control what she does now. She wants to challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley due to what The Judgment Day has done, and as the only female roster member from Puerto Rico, she has to fight Ripley and prove something. Pearce says it will be a hell of a match so he will speak to upper management and Ripley, then get back to her. Vega is curious to hear what “Mami” has to say. She walks off.
– We get a hype video on Shinsuke Nakamura following last week’s return. Karrion Kross and Scarlett are backstage now.

Kross asks Nakamura if he sees the Superstar tarot cards on the table.
Karrion Kross says he didn’t hurt these people, he’s never hurt anyone in his life… it was the cards. How do we even know who we are until something is taken from us? Kross says he took Drew McIntyre’s temperament, Riddick Moss’ joy, Rey Mysterio’s patience, and will now take away Nakamura’s honor. Kross delivers a “Tik, tok…” as he and Scarlett look on.
