Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring.
Sami welcomes everyone to Raw. He says they are five days away from King and Queen of the Ring. He says he finds himself in a Triple Threat Match against Bronson Reed and Chad Gable for his title. Sami says he was asked why would he put up his title in a Triple Threat Match. Sami says he tried to explain it and he has two different issues and he wants to deal with them at the same time. He says he has a personal issue with Chad Gable. Chad, you don't German suplex a man out of his wife's arms in his home town in front of his seventy-eight year old father. You are getting an ass kicking coming. The other issue is not personal with Bronson Reed. Bronson doesn't care about, him, his family, or Chad Gable. All he cares about is the title. This is an interesting match. It is a fight between the mind, body and soul. Chad is the mind. The body is the brute force of Bronson Reed. The soul is Sami Zayn. Sami says if he is putting his money down on mind, body, or soul, he is putting his money on soul every time. That is why he is holding this title. That is why he was able to beat the longest reigning champion at Wrestlemania. That is why he will walk out on Saturday still the Intercontinental Champion.
Chad Gable makes his way to the stage with Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri. Chad asks Sami if he called him manipulative. Did he manipulate Sami into beating Gunther? He coached Sami, selflessly to help Sami win. Chad says he is too damn nice. He has been too nice to Sami and too nice to the three clowns standing behind him. Take Maxxine. You should be in Saudi Arabia competing in the finals of Queen of the Ring but you blew your opportunity. You are a failure. Tozawa, you did zero percent of the damage on Bronson Reed last week . . . failure. Chad says this brings him to Otis. Last week, you proved why you are the biggest disappointment on the planet.
Sami says that is enough and we have heard enough from Chad. Sami has a question and Chad asks what is the question. Sami says the question is for the other three. How long are you going to continue to deal with this guy's crap?
Chad tells Sami he does not talk to them. You are trying to drive a wedge and they have rededicated themselves to the Alpha Academy. Chad says he is sick and tired of hearing about Sami's heart and soul. In Saudi Arabia, he doesn't have to pun Sami to win, but he will. He is not just taking Sami's title, he's taking Sami's soul.
Sami says that is all well and good, but Saudi Arabia isn't for another five days. Tonight, we are in Greensboro, North Carolina. They are scheduled for a match tonight. Why not do it right now.
