Episode #17 Card (August 13, 2019):
Show Opener: Pete Dunne and Drew McIntyre open up SDLive. Dunne says that after 5 long weeks in this tournament, Pete Dunne has walked out holding the WWE Championship. Everyone doubted him saying that he's this new guy from NXTUK and whatever, but after Summerslam, Pete Dunne has that the Bruiserweight is here to stay. And he has one man to thank, Drew McIntyre, his fellow member of the great United Kingdom. When GM Paige came up with the idea to make McIntyre the special guest referee in Dunne's match, Dunne messaged McIntyre right away and a deal was struck. "Turns out the two of us see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues and we both agreed the keeping the WWE Championship in the UK territory and finally give it some much-needed class." As a team, Dunne and McIntyre will take down anybody in their path. The Hunter and The Bruiserweight are here to stay.

RESULT: ANDRADE WINS. NEW CHAMP!!! Segment: Backstage Interview with The IIconics who are asked about their month long title reign. They said they are extremely disappointed and that you have got to be joking them. They've been teaming for how long and they lose their most prized possession that being the Women's Tag Team Championship after one measly defense. They even allowed The Country Club to challenge them. They start thinking that maybe they are being too naive. Just because they won the titles and achieve their dream, maybe they need to work harder and smarter to defend it. Match #3: Heavy Machinery vs. The Ascension RESULT: HEAVY MACHINERY WINS Segment: The New Day are talking to GM Paige about what does Kofi need to get another shot at the WWE Championship.
