– We go to backstage, The Usos entering The Bloodline’s locker room suite. They are exciting, applauding themselves, and they ask Roman Reigns what he thinks. Reigns is quiet. He stands up and asks them if it feels good, right? Reigns says this is what being the greatest of all-time feels like, this is the promise land. Reigns says now that The Usos got that done, it’s time for him to handle some stuff, but he needs them by his side because if he’s going to do this, he’s going to do it right, and he’s going to handle this business out in the ring, live tonight. Reigns asks The Usos if they’re with him. Hell yeah, always, they say. They embrace and Jey says he loves Reigns.

– Megan Morant at backstage with LA Knight. He calls it a major fumble that he’s not in the World Cup. The Bray Wyatt logo and graphics flash on the screen behind them. Knight goes on as Morant is distracted by the graphics flashing again, and he asks her what she’s looking at. Knight sees the graphics and asks if this is more interesting than he is. Knight wants this trash turned off the screen. Knight yells at someone off camera, perhaps a staffer, and says he doesn’t need “his” stuff here, this is Knight’s time. 

LA Knight turns back around and Bray Wyatt is standing there. Wyatt says, hey man, then introduces himself and says now they can be friends. He thinks he understands Knight more than he thinks. Wyatt sees the rage and anger brewing in Knight, and says the same is in him. Wyatt says his whole life people have been telling him anger can make him a monster. Wyatt laughs. He says the thing is, he’s been knowing for the longest time, pretending he’s not proud of the things he does. 

Bray Wyatt laughs and says he doesn’t know about this anymore because he knows what it takes to get respect and he’s asking LA how far he’s willing to go. Knight smirks and says how far he’s willing to go is none of Wyatt’s damn business, but Wyatt can go back to his romper room, play with his little puppets and stick them where he gets pleasure from. Knight says at the end of the day if anybody asks Wyatt whose game this is, it’s Knight’s. Wyatt drops Knight with a headbutt. Wyatt huffs and backs away as Knight gets up dazed, wondering where the hell Bray Wyatt went.

Emma says she will see Shotzi later, then walks off. 

Shayna Baszler approaches Shotzi and says she seems to be cheesing out, and she guesses congratulations are in order. Baszler tells Shotzi to enjoy her time in the spotlight, feeling the #1 contender, because Rousey is going to give her the beating of a lifetime, and more anguish and pain than she’s ever felt. Baszler says Shotzi actually won a broken arm, maybe her ankle will be snapped in half. Shotzi asks Baszler if she’s done yet, then says Rousey has never been in the ring with someone like her. 

Shotzi says she belongs and she will prove it by enduring all Rousey dishes out, and she might just surprise Baszler, Rousey and the whole world. Baszler says it sure sounds like Shotzi has a lot to say about Rousey. Shotzi agrees. Baszler says she should turn around and say it. Shotzi turns around to Rousey, who taunts her. Baszler immediately applies the Kirifuda Clutch and makes Shotzi fade to the floor. Rousey and Baszler laugh and taunt Shotzi as they walk off. Rousey calls for a clean-up on aisle green.

– Kayla Braxton at backstage with Ricochet, who is asked about facing Mustafa Ali in the World Cup next week. Ricochet says this isn’t just a chance to go and represent, and compete with the best in the world, it’s bigger than that as it’s his chance to get another opportunity to get back what is his. He has history with Ali and knows better than anyone else how talented and hungry Ali is. 

Imperium walks up as fans in the arena boo. WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER wants Ricochet to clarify – what do you mean by this is yours? Ricochet points at the title.

Jinder says he missed them too, and tonight he will begin his ascent to his rightful spot by first winning the SmackDown World Cup, then becoming your WWE Intercontinental Champion. Fans boo again. Jinder says no man can stop him… the music interrupts and out comes Braun Strowman to a pop.

Braun poses on the stage, then marches to the ring and he’s fired up. The Modern Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal looks on and he’s not thrilled. Mahal attacks Strowman as he poses during his entrance. Mahal drops Braun in the corner and unloads.

Logan, Erik and Ivar pose in the middle of the ring as the red lights come up.

– The Bloodline – Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman makes their way to the ring. Michael Cole says Sami Zayn is not here because he is dealing with a personal matter. Roman Reigns has some business to handle tonight.

Fans chant “Ucey!” as Roman Reigns takes the mic and calls on Indianapolis to acknowledge him. Paul Heyman says he and The Tribal Chief were on the private jet flying onto this hell-hole… fans interrupt with boos… Heyman says that’s not very Ucey of Indianapolis and they boo some more. Heyman says all the great sports rivalries play out live on FOX – the USA vs. UK in soccer this weekend, the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers this weekend, and tonight we saw The Usos vs. The New Day. Heyman laughs and says he’s lying through his teeth, he can’t even keep a straight face because The Usos vs. The New Day is not a great sports rivalry as The New Day can’t compare to The Usos.
