The Viking Raiders
Coming off of the heels of his loss to Jimmy Uso on Smackdown, Erik is backstage with Ivar, as well as Megan Morant. Megan recaps the match between Erik and Jimmy Uso, and she wonders what fans can expect when The Viking Raiders battle The Uso’s at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia. Ivar says “this was just chapter one of the book.” Erik adds “everyone knows that when you wage war, it’s more than just one battle that decides it.” Erik closes with a warning, stating “There is nothing The Uso’s can do to stop us from fulfilling our destiny, and winning the Smackdown Tag Team Championships at Elimination Chamber.” The Viking Raiders exit stage left, and Talking Smack moves on to the next segment.
**Commercial Break**

Naomi
Just days before a Smackdown Women’s Championship match against Charlotte Flair, Megan Morant is backstage with Naomi, who has a few comments for Talking Smack viewers. Megan kicks off the interview by asking Naomi how she’s feeling about the upcoming scrap, and Naomi explains “next week, I could possibly be the Smackdown Women’s Champion! Actually… I’m going to be the Smackdown Women’s Champion!” Naomi goes on to say “Charlotte is a Champion I respect, however I’ve almost beat her, and I can do it if there is no interference.” Megan thanks Naomi for her comments, and Talking Smack returns to the studio.
⁃Matt recaps a few more segments from Friday’s Smackdown, and throws the show over to the arena for the final time.
Drew McIntyre
After gaining the upper-hand in his ongoing feud with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss on Smackdown, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is backstage with Megan Morant. Megan recaps McIntyre’s segment with Corbin and Moss, and asks Drew how he’s feeling, ahead of his match with Moss at Elimination Chamber. Drew says “I’ve been out for a month, and what I said on Smackdown was 100% true.” McIntyre continued “I put myself through so much rehab, and went to the doctor, and he asked me ‘are you a cyborg’?” Drew directs his attention to Corbin and Moss, warning “Guys you’ve given me a reason to come after you. You’re going to see me in your nightmares, and I’m going to love every second of it.” Drew moves on, and Megan tosses the show over to the WWE Global Headquarters one last time.
