SmackDown was down almost 20 percent year-over-year. The edition of the show that aired one year ago this week saw Vince McMahon make a rare appearance on SmackDown to confront Kevin Owens, who was in the middle of a program with Shane McMahon. This was the 13th straight week that SmackDown has had a year-over-year drop and the 16th week in the last 17 that the show has been down from 2017.

It was announced today by PWG's Twitter account that Stunt will replace Chris Brookes, who is out of the tournament due to an undisclosed injury. Stunt will face Trevor Lee in a first round match that will take place during night two. Stunt gained notoriety last month when he was a part of Joey Janela’s Lost In New York event that took place during SummerSlam weekend. Despite his small size, Stunt managed to impress against the much larger KTB. Following the match, Stunt was added to the All In Over Budget battle royal where he eliminated Moose early in the match. He was later eliminated by Bully Ray. This weekend’s Battle of Los Angeles tournament will start with first round matches on September 14 and 15, with the finals taking place on the 16th. All three shows will take place at the Globe Theater in Los Angeles, California.

During the interview, Cody hinted at planning another All In and noted that he learned a lot about time management [except for timing pro wrestling matches]. "Well, maybe we already started planning [laughs]." Cody added, "I kept writing these lists. And my dad was a big list guy and I have become a big list guy too. I kept writing these lists of these are the things to do to make sure you're in peak condition, and also make sure you're in peak mental state, and make sure you paid this guy and talked to this guy. I also learned I wanted to do every single thing with this show. I wanted to do payroll; I wanted to know elements of production; I wanted to know how many chairs were in the union catering room. "Just, next time, I don't need to know all that stuff. I also learned you are only as good as the team around you and we've discovered some new teammates over the course of [All In] weekend."
