By Richard Trionfo on 2017-05-22 23:04:00

We are back and Enzo is being checked on by the officials.  He is asked what happened.  He says he does not know who jumped him.

Kurt says they will get to the bottom of this.

Colin says Kurt better hope he finds out who did this before he does.

Finn Balor says it sounds like Balor Club is in the building.  He says we have our hands full because at Extreme Rules they have a Fatal Five Way match where the winner faces Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.  Tonight, Karl Anderson stands in his path, but he is focused.

Paul Heyman interrupts and he introduces himself and he reminds everyone that he is the advocate for Brock Lesnar.  Some could say he is out here to scout potential victims for his client.  Bray painted a portrait of a WWE Universe without the Beast.  Paul says he hates to vandalize Bray's masterpiece, but if Bray wins at Extreme Rules and steps in the ring with client, he will treat Bray like a victim.

Then there is Seth Rollins.  He wants wants to compete in a Fatal Freakin Five Way at Extreme Freakin Rules.  If he wins, Brock will make him a Freakin Victim.

Then there is Samoa Joe.  Against Brock, Samoa Joe will be a victim.

Then there is the one that laid the Deadman down.  Roman Reigns.  The odds on favorite.  If Roman wins at Extreme Rules and challenges for the Universal Championship, he will not be the be all and end all of WWE.  He will be Brock Lesnar's victim.

Paul says that leads him to Finn Balor.  Paul asks to enter the ring and Finn allows him.  Paul says that Finn is nobody's victim.  Finn is being portrayed as the underdog, but he is no underdog.  Paul says he sees Finn coming.  He says Finn said if you can see it, you can achieve it.  Paul says Finn is the most talented in ring performer in WWE today.  More importantly, Paul believes that Finn believes will take the other competitors to the extreme.  Paul says that he believes that Finn does not look at Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion, you believe that Brock is the same as the other competitors in the Fatal Five Way Match.  Finn thinks that Brock will become Finn Balor's victim.

Paul says that of all of the possibilities at Extreme Rules, he is most intrigued at the thought of Finn Balor versus Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.  

Paul wishes Finn luck in the Fatal Five Way and offers his hand and Finn shakes it.

Finn says he is glad that Paul is here, but he wishes Brock was here.  As Brock's advocate, maybe you can give him a message.  Tell Brock at Extreme Rules he will win the Fatal Five Way Match and he will go on to face Brock for the championship that he never lost.  Tell Brock that Finn Balor will beat Brock Lesnar.
