.Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring and he is joined by Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae.
Sami asks the people booing if they mean that. Sami says we have some haters in the house. He wants to know who came to ride or die with the last real good guy. Sami says it was an interesting week. He went toe to toe with Roman Reigns. He said something that got him thinking. It isn’t the championship that makes the man or the man who makes the championship. Sami was wondering who the ‘man’ is. The alpha male is not the biggest, it is the smartest one who always finds a way to survive. Sami says that is him. There are eight billion people on the planet and there is only one WWE Champion, him. There is one man who everyone has their sights on, and that is him.
One thing he will not tolerate from Roman, Penta, or anyone else . . .
Rey Fenix’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Rey says he does not know what his brother is going to do. Will he cash in on Roman or will he cash in on you? Rey says they have never had problems and they are still friends. Rey says he has problems with Ricky Saints. Penta is his brother and if you disrespect his family, we will have a problem.
Sami tells Johnny to calm down. There are no problems. He respects him and he tells him to have his brother focus on Roman Reigns. Sami’s problem is with people who show disrespect.
Speaking of disrespect, Trick Williams’ music plays and he comes out.
Trick says he feels Rey’s pain because he has issues with Sami. You said that Trick doesn’t know how to survive? Is tht because you put no fear in his heart. He has no reason to fear. He talks about what he has done and who he has married. Trick is here to survive. He says he has been here ten months and he is only getting better. Trick says he looks at Sami, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years in the came trying to convince people what “It” is. “It” beat you at Wrestlemania. You are not the king of the jungle. You are Timon, Trick says he is Simba. You are the joke. Only one of them knows how to look, walk, talk, and smell like a champion. When it comes to that, he is the veteran and Trick is the rookie.
Trick tells Sami to give him a title match.
Sami says so much to unpack. You say you aren’t afraid of him, but if you had a little more instinct, you should be. Sami says you might have a silver tongue, but his is made of steel and razor sharp. He can slice and dice you and expose every weakness in your game and make you look like a fool. Sami says he is operating on levels that you cannot understand. Sami says he won’t do it because he is a good guy. You have had one of the best rookie years. Enjoy it while you can because the people will realize what he already realized. You don’t have ‘It”. You are closer to sink or swim than you think. You are swimming in deep waters. He might not be the biggest shark in the ocean but no one has sharper teeth than him. You are nowhere near close to a title match.
Trick wants to know where were those sharp teeth when he beat your ass for the title. Trick says he ain’t asking for a title match, he is demanding one. If you don’t give it to him, he will beat it out of you.
Trick grabs Johnny by the throat and then Sami with a chop block.
Nick Aldis comes out and he says with all of these problems, you act like you call the shots. You might be the champion, but you don’t call the shots. Sami and Johnny will face Rey and Trick tonight.
We look at how we got our WWE Women’s Championship match.
