By Richard Trionfo on 2020-11-20 21:58:00

The Street Profits are in the back and Montez welcomes everyone to the new Champions' Lounge.  They talk about the Survivor Series and the final farewell to the Undertaker.  Montez does the eye thing and the lights go blue.  There is a voice that says REST IN PEACE and Big E shows up.  Big E says the Street Profits are two days away from facing the New Day and the man who won the WWE Championship at the Show of Shows and the most underrated wrestler in Xavier Woods.  

Montez says on Sunday, a New Day will come to an end because all they do is win, win, win.  Dawkins says they are going to beat Big E's boys.  Ford says they want the smoke.

Big E says Kofi and Woods are here tonight.  Big E introduces them.

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Corey Graves and Michael Cole.

Kofi and Xavier make their way to the ring.

Xavier says they don't belong here, but they were invited so they said why not and see if there are any giant fists breaking through giant panes of glass.  Kofi asks if there are any rooms in the Smackdown Motel.  Xaiver says they are two days away from Survivor Series and they have words for the Street Profits.  Kofi says they want the smoke and Xavier says on Sunday, the Street Profits will be dead men.  Kofi asks Xavier about his tone and Xavier mentions the tribute to Undertaker on Sunday.

Kofi and Xavier pay tribute by sitting up.

Sami Zayn's music plays and he says all you can talk about is the Undertaker.  We are a few days away from Survivor Series and all you talk about is the Undertaker.  Sami says this is the end for the Undertaker because Sami is coming for revenge and WWE is letting him take the coward's way out.  Sami says WWE Management would love to protect Bobby Lashley because he is the US Champion and he looks good in a suit.  Sami says he will show that the Intercontinental Champion is better than the US Champion.

Sami says he is not going to hurt the New Day and he will let them do the right thing and talk about the hottest thing in WWE, the champion of the people, Sami Zayn.

Kofi says they can say something about Sami.  Xavier says Sami's outfit looks great.  He looks like a recently divorced dad who made a down payment on his studio apartment.

Baron Corbin comes out and wonders why Sami is letting the New Day talk about him like that.  It was bad enough that Drew McIntyre was here last week.

Xavier says their match was a farewell match as Smackdown superstars.  They are visiting tonight.

Baron says that they don't belong on his shows so they have to go.

Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler come to the ring and Dolph says he doesn't like Sami.  Dolph says the New Day doesn't belong here.  Dolph says they should be the tag team champions, not you.  Roode says if they got another match, they would be Raw tag team champions.

Kofi asks Roode and Ziggler if they want a tag title match.  Kofi suggests a match with a twist.  Xavier says they can defend the title, but against who?

Xavier says Ziggler and Roode are good, but you know who might be better?  Kofi says Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn.

Corbin says they are not a team and Sami says he has a big match on Sunday.  Sami says if they decided to team, they would beat Bobby and Dolph.  Sami says they are not a team and they are not interested.

Xavier says you four should have a match and the winners get a shot at the Raw Tag Team Chamiponships.

Roode and Ziggler attack Kofi and Woods when it appears they are going after Corbin and Zayn.
