Your announcers are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
Seth Rollins walks to the ring with Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman.
Seth wants to hear humming to his music but unless they added "CM Punk" as lyrics, he is disappointed.
Seth tells us who he is. He says tomorrow night he takes everything. When he wins the contract he will have absolute power and total control over this entire industry.
The crowd chants for Roman and Seth says he doesn't think he can hear you because he is on the Island of Irrelevancy, where they put him after Wrestlemania. That absolute power and control extends to Smackdown as well. They came here to deliver a message. Anyone who stands in their way will suffer the same fate as anyone who has already stood in their way. Sami Zayn stood in their way. He is in the dirt. CM Punk stood in their way. Poof . . . Gone. Roman Reigns stood in their way and he is missing in action. Roman is not coming to save you. Roman Reigns does not care about you. He has never cared about you. Do you know who has? Seth Rollins.
He says he will drag all of you, kicking and screaming, if he has to, into the future because that is what he does. Not for him, not for us, but for the entire industry. There is no one who can stop him.
Let the cavalcade begin as Solo Sikoa makes his way to the ring with JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu.
They stand face to face in the center of the ring.
Solo says you said if anyone gets in your way, you are going to lay them out.
Seth confirms that statement.
Solo says there is no one here to stop you.
Seth confirms the statement.
Solo says they are standing here right now.
Seth asks if that is so.
Solo says it looks like you have a little bloodline going on. He asks if Bron is supposed to be Jey Uso. He asks Reed if he is supposed to be Sami Zayn. After everything they have been through? They went through war at War Games. Now you show up and team up with this guy? You have yourself a wise man. He tells Paul 'long time, no see'.
Seth tells Solo to choose his next words very carefully.
Solo says let's cut tot he chase. Tomorrow, he is climbing the ladder and grabbing the contract. All of the power and control will be his.
Seth says he sees. This is your turf and you feel threatened. Are you threatened because Bron is the future of this industry and you are not? Are you threatened because Bronson Reed can squash you like a bug with a snap of his fingers. What you should be worried about is that your family would rather stab you in the back than have your back.
Seth looks at Fatu and asks what is up. He says Fatu looks like he wants to says something.
Solo tells Seth to shut up and what he is trying to do will not work.
Seth says we can come up with a new nickname for Fatu like Solo's Bitch. Seth says in all seriousness it took a lot of guts and courage to come out. Seth says he feels threatened by a Fatu in this ring, but not Solo.
Solo takes off his jacket and so does Seth, but Bron steps between Seth and Solo.
It is time for Jacob to do the same.
Seth asks Bron to step back and Seth gets in Fatu's face and then he says it is time to end things.
