After being sick and tired of all the mind games his former mentor endured on him for nearly a month, Alex has requested a huge six person tag match as he and his allies Drew McIntyre and Cora Jade take on all three members of Legacy.
The management has made it official for tonight's main event for this week's main event. In the locker room, the three talked and discussed their generational opponents.
Drew: Cody was once my tag team partner, so I know what he has in store up his sleeves
Cora: I studied Charlotte when I was in NXT; she may have the height and frame advantage, but I know how to outmaneuver her
Alex: yet the big one is the snake himself. Leave him to me, I'm tired of the mind games, let's take the fight to them
With the three all sharing one common goal tonight, they're ready for their biggest test.
As for the status of the WWE Championship, the management and creative team has finally confirmed a one on one match at their next premium live event as Alex finally gets in the ring with Randy Orton; recalling that the Viper will come after the winner of the match between the Pharaoh and Jey Uso a couple of weeks ago. A contract signing segment is confirmed for next week's SmackDown.
As for the other championship titles, Cora gets a chance to win her first women's title if she is able to defeat the current WWE Women's Champion Asuka clean inside the ring next week by pinfall or submission, and hoping for no interference from the outside, especially Charlotte Flair.
SmackDown now shifts to the Viper, as he is about to cut a promo regarding his upcoming championship match against his former student.
Randy: Alex Auditore, I call you a prodigy of this sport; you've shown a lot of potential, convincing me that you're serious of this career. But I'm the one that cuts careers short and puts them in the hospital for long periods of time. What I did to Drew McIntyre and Ilja Dragunov for the last couple of weeks are warning shots and that the days of your championship reign is numbered. The number that will matter after I beat you will be 15, one more to tie Ric Flair and John Cena. As for tonight, I will show you and everyone watching that I will strike anyone no matter who the hell they are

It was now time for the six person tag team main event as Alex, Drew and Cora team up and attempt to take down the new Legacy. The first to make their entrance was the young and rising star Cora Jade. She made her skateboard entrance with two things on her mind, tonight and her match against Asuka next week.
Next to make the entrance was one of her partners, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. With his sword in hand, the Scottish Warrior planted his sword into the ground and marched his way down the ramp and got in the ring as let out his battle cry.
Then last to make his entrance was the WWE Champion himself as he made his way to the ring and joined his team and ready themselves for a serious fight. The Pharaoh threw a little subtle tribute to his good friend of the United Empire TJP as he did the group's Crowns Up gesture to the camera followed by a wink.
Legacy's theme played and walking out to the stage was the Viper Randy Orton leading his cohorts Cody Rhodes and Charlotte Flair. Orton stared down at his so called prodigal son while he leads Legacy to the ring.

Starting the match for their respective teams looks to be Alex and Randy as the two stared each other down while the Pharaoh begged for a fight; however, Orton tagged himself out and brought the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes in. Alex then saw Drew wanting to get some of his former Dashing Ones partner and obliged as he tagged in the Scotsman.
Rhodes and McIntyre squared each other up before starting to throw punches at each other, Rhodes fazed the Scotsman with his signature right hand while laying on his back, but Drew fired back with the Glasgow Kiss headbutt.

Charlotte looked to put away Cora with the Figure Eight, but the young Jade kicked the Queen off for separation, rolled away to avoid any offense and tagged in the WWE Champion. Alex went all hell on Legacy as he took down Cody with punches and clotheslines before taking him down with a dropkick. He then grabbed Cody and got him in position for the hanging DDT right in front of the Viper. Alex stared at Orton and pointed at him before dropping the American Nightmare with the DDT.
As Alex was stalking Cody, waiting for him to get up, Orton slithered into the ring and tried to ambush his former student, but Alex scouted it and sent the Viper over the ropes and turned his attention back to Cody. Alex got Cody up in the position for the One-Winged Angel, but Rhodes got out of it and took down the WWE Champion with the Disaster Kick.
Rhodes stumbled to the corner, making Charlotte get a blind tag. Alex got back up and attempted for the Rainmaker, but Cody ducked only to run into a Claymore from McIntyre. Orton then pulled McIntyre out of the ring and sent him over the timekeeper's area. Alex caught up to his former mentor and brawled with him at ringside.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Cora was on the top turnbuckle and took out Charlotte with a missile dropkick followed by a running knee. She got Charlotte in position for the double underhook DDT, similar to Drew's Future Shock, but to the shock of everyone in the arena, Orton slid in and hits Jade with the RKO, delivering on his warning from earlier that he'll strike anyone no matter who they are.
Charlotte smirked and went to pick the scraps as she rolled over Cora for the easy pinfall victory. After the bell rang, Legacy retreated to the ramp while they relished their evil sadistic victory while Alex and Drew got in the ring to check on Cora. The WWE Champion held Cora's head while he stared down at Legacy's snake.
Cora regained consciousness and regained her senses and was able to stand, but had her arm around Alex to maintain her balance.
The show ended with Legacy having their arms raised as they celebrated from the stage while commentary hypes up the inevitable showdown between the student and teacher for the WWE title.
