Luke's true intentions is that he doesn't care of the world title, the only things he care when it come to the industry of professional wrestling is delivering a good show for the crowd who paid their hard earned money, his friend Cesaro staying in the world title/main event picture and Liv getting her promised title opportunity.

The only title Luke cared is the one he has now, the Intercontinental Championship. Since he brought back the Ruthless Aggression era design, he hopes that when Cesaro wins the Universal Championship, the Swiss Superman brings back the World Heavyweight Championship, known to the fans as the Big Gold Belt.

The crowd for tonight's SmackDown grew a little from last week thanks to the women's one on one match when Cesaro interfered and derailed the Corporate Triad's plan of screwing Liv's match. 

Luke was in action for a non-title match as he goes one on one against Cesaro's former tag team partner of The Bar, the Celtic Warrior Sheamus. The Nomad was in his locker room with Liv.

The Jersey native hung on to the Nomad like a cute spider monkey.

Luke: uhh babe, you know I have to warm up, right?

Liv: you can do some push ups while I hang on to you

Luke: we can give that a try

The Intercontinental Champion got in the position and slowly did some push ups.

Liv: come on Nomad, I'm not that heavy!

Luke's mind: well your butt is thicc

The Nomad regained his focus and continued to do more push ups with quick succession.

Liv: come on Olympic gold!

Luke: who are you? Kurt Angle?

Liv: you can do 300 push ups!

Luke: I'm not Brock!

Liv: make it 20 then!

Luke: I can do that!

However, with each push up, Liv snuck in a kiss on Luke's cheek in an attempt to make him lose his focus, and it looked like it was working.

Luke: babe... what are you doing?

Liv: nothing, just do your push ups!

Luke continued to do his push ups while he was flustered from all the kisses from Liv until he reached 30.

Liv: yay! Lukey!

Liv giggled and got off of his shoulders.

Luke: see? No sweat

Liv: oh, you got a bit distracted from the cute pecks I gave

Luke: I wasn't!

Liv: yes you were, come on big boy

Luke playfully groaned and smiled a bit.

Luke: alright fine

Liv: I'm gonna go watch the show

Luke: alright babe, watch me too

Liv blew a kiss and left his locker room to warm up.

(In the ring)

McMahon, Laurinaitis and Prichard were in the ring while the crowd rains down boos on them.

Vince: alright, everyone shut up!

The crowd still booed as the chairman of the board continued to talk.

Vince: alright, let's have the Intercontinental Champion Luke Ardiente come out here. Luke, bring your sorry ass out here now!

The Intercontinental Champion made his entrance and walked down the ramp with his rebellious attitude.

As he got in the ring, Bruce gave him the script containing his lines, but the Nomad took the paper, ripped it to pieces and threw it to his face and grabbed a mic.

Luke: what? I have to say all that crap? What? Don't give another piece of trash to me and expect me to follow it

Prichard put his hands up and back up.

Luke: alright, what the hell am I doing out here, wasting my time with you three pieces of corporate trash

Laurinaitis: we want to talk about your friends Cesaro and Liv

Luke: what?

Laurinaitis: we want to talk about your friends-

Luke: what?

Laurinaitis: I said we want to talk-

Luke: what? You got to speak up, I can't hear a damn thing you say

The crowd saw some Stone Cold attitude in Luke, and they happily played along.

Luke: is your mic broken?

Crowd: what?

Luke: are the speakers broken?

Crowd: what?

Luke: do you need water?

Crowd: what?

Luke: you inhaled some nicotine?

Crowd: what?

Luke: do you have laryngitis?

Crowd: what?

Luke: can you clear your throat?

Crowd: what?

Luke: do you spit?

Crowd: what?

Luke: or do you swallow?

Crowd: what?

Luke: did you kiss Vince's ass?

Crowd: what?

Laurinaitis: alright, that's enough

Luke smirked and mocked Laurinaitis as he leaned his ear close.

Laurinaitis: it's all about Cesaro and Liv, regarding last week

Luke: Liv won her match, so where is her title match?

Vince: Miss Morgan will have her title match at our next pay-per-view, TLC

Laurinaitis: in a tables, ladders and chairs match!

Luke: that is fine by me and that is fine by the crowd

The crowd cheered as Liv was getting another title shot, but Luke was not completely satisfied.

Luke: but what about my friend Cesaro?

Vince: that's the reason why we asked you to be out here

Laurinaitis: why have Cesaro be in the world title match, instead that could be you in the ring against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, that will bring a lot of attention

Luke stared blankly at Laurinaitis.

Vince: we can make it happen, all you have to do is shake our hands

Luke stared daggers into the three corporate men.

Luke: first of all, that business proposal was crap, and how dare you give me a title shot that should go to my friend? And put your dirty hands away, hell knows where your hands have been

The crowd cheered loud.

Luke: I don't care about this company's top title, the only things care is give these fans a great show and my friends getting their hard earned title shots. As for your business proposal, it's a no!

The Nomad paused for a second.

Luke: it will be Cesaro and Reigns for the Universal- no, World Heavyweight Championship because when my friend wins, you can put that big "W" belt in your warehouse and change it for the most prestigious championship belt, Big Gold!

The Titantron flashed a picture of the fan favorite Big Gold Belt, the title that was held by the likes of Ric Flair, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Triple H, Batista, Randy Orton, The Undertaker and John Cena.

Luke: now that is a world title! And I'll say again, the world title is not in my cross hairs Vince... but you are

Vince's eyes widened as Luke continued to talk.

Luke: TLC, which stands for tables, ladders and chairs, WWE's annual demolition derby where the ring is not the only area

Vince had his signature looks of worry on his face.

Luke: there is one more thing that will make me and these fans happy and that is a match at TLC... against... you

The Nomad stared daggers at Vince while the crowd cheered loud.

Vince: what the hell did you say to me?

Luke: you heard me right, one on one at TLC, Luke Ardiente vs. Vince McMahon, No Holds Barred!

Bruce attempted to defuse the situation, but he made a mistake of poking the Nomad bear, Luke responded by knocking down Prichard with a right hand.

Luke: and I don't care if you have any back up, get your allies together, including the product of your semen, Shane McMahon!

Vince then got close as Luke smirked.

Vince: you want Vincent Kennedy McMahon one on one in this ring at TLC, No Holds Barred?

Luke smirked and nodded.

Vince: you got it and at TLC you have... no chance in hell! See you at TLC, kid

Luke smirked as he watched the corporate trio leave, but then an idea came to his head.

Luke: hold on Vince, before you go back and play with your grapefruits, I want to say that I got two allies to back me up in case your ass kissing lapdogs come help you

Vince: two? Only two? Who are they?

Luke: you will meet them once TLC comes and you already know them, and while Cesaro is busy taking care of the Tribal Chief, one of my allies will layeth the SmackDown on your ass!

Vince started to get worried as he paid attention to the last few words.

Luke: and as for the other man, he has arrived and rose hell late in the 90s, kicking and humiliating your ass. And he inspired my mantra of arrive, fight and leave. You will find out the identity of my allies at TLC and that's the bottom-line cause the Nomad said so!

Luke's theme played as the Nomad stared down at the Chairman of the board. Three of TLC's matches were already confirmed.

Roman Reigns (c) (with The Usos and Paul Heyman) vs. Cesaro - Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the WWE Universal Championship

Becky Lynch (c) vs. Liv Morgan - Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the SmackDown Women's Championship

Luke Ardiente vs. Vince McMahon - No Holds Barred match
