By Richard Trionfo on 2017-12-12 21:57:00

We start off with a look at last week's attempt by Shane McMahon to punish Kevin Owens and Shane's comments that he is not finished.

We are in Cincinnati, Ohio and your announcers are Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, and Byron Saxton.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are handing out flyers wearing "Yep" shirts.  Kevin wants Chad and Shelton to join the YEP movement.  

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring.

AJ welcomes everyone to the House that AJ Styles built.  He says he is usually cool, calm, and collected.  AJ says he cannot eat or sleep.  All he can do is think about defending his title on Sunday.  AJ says he does not want to lose what he got back.  He says he feels the same way Jinder Mahal did.  What good is it to be champion if you are not willing to fight.  AJ says Jinder would do anything to retain his title.  He brought in Great Khali to help him in the Punjabi Prison Match.  Jinder will do anything to get the title back.

The Singh Brothers come out and they have new music.  They apologize for the interruption.  They say that they usually introduce Jinder Mahal, but not tonight.  We see what happened last week.

AJ says that was cruel and he says he feels sorry for them tonight.  AJ wants Samir and Sunil to come to the ring to hug it out.  AJ tells the Singhs not to hug each other.  They need to come hug it out with Uncle Al.  AJ hugs each Singh and he stops them from coming back for seconds.

The Singhs say that they want to be in AJ's corner on Sunday.  As far as they are concerned, Jinder Mahal will be facing AJ alone.  They are done with Jinder.  They talk about how they are kept in the back while Jinder flies first class.  They say that Jinder cannot even tell them apart.  Samir and Sunil argue and AJ stops them.

AJ asks if they are so mad at Jinder, why were they at his side last week in India?  AJ wants to know if they are with him or against him.  Both Samir and Sunil say they are done with Jinder.

AJ wants them to shake his hand and . . . 

Jinder Mahal's music plays.  

AJ says he can see what is going on.  Samir and Sunil are here to convince him that they are not working for Jinder, but he is not convincing anyone.  AJ says he likes what they said about AJ and Jinder being one-on-one on Sunday and AJ guarantees that will happen and he attacks Samir and Sunil before sending them to the floor.

Jinder gets on the apron and he tells AJ he will get what is coming to him.  He says the title is coming back to him on Sunday.
