New Delhi: The September 13 WWE Smackdown Live show was the first since Backlash.

It opened with WWE Champion AJ Styles telling the WWE Universe that he's the 'champ that runs the camp'. With Styles in full flow, John Cena's music played and the superstar entered the ring. Cena said Styles had something that belonged to him. Cena wanted to win back the title to tie Ric Flair's record of 16. With the duo in the ring, Dean Ambrose decided to show up and had a show down with Styles.

Cena interjected and Ambrose hit back, terming the former champion a part-timer. Shane McMohan too joined the trio in the ring and announced a triple threat match between them at No Mercy. He also set up a tag team match between Cena-Ambrose vs Style and partner of his preference as SmackDown Live's main event for the night.
