Rusev says the League of Nations crush the New Day.  Sheamus says it was just a taste of what will happen at Wrestlemania.  They taught those unicorns a lesson.  Sheamus says they are not in the same class as the League of Nations.  Sheamus wants us to take a look at what happened last week.

Big E interrupts with the New Day's introduction.

Big E says you might have put hands on your boys, but one thing is clear.  The New Day does not suck.  They have never sucked.

Kofi says they really mean that.  Kofi says thank god you started wearing boots Rusev because people complained about your feet scaring all of the kids.  Kofi wants to know what happened to Del Rio.  You came out in a limo and you had a ring announcer.  Now you are stuck in the League of Nations.  King Barrett.  No throne, no cape, no crown, no scepter.  What a waste of a king.

What if the New Day were the Three Kings of the Ring.  Xavier tells Wade Barrett to go to the gallows for his public shaming and he is SHAMED.  

Sheamus, your parent knew early what you were going to be by putting Shame in your name.  They could have called you Mike or John or Steve, but you were called Sheamus. 

Big E says that can be resolved with a box of BOOTY-Os.

Everyone brawls on the floor and Sheamus is sent into the ringside barrier.
