The show begins with Drew McIntyre in the ring. McIntyre
talks about how he went home because a family member passed
away after his Hell In A Cell match against CM Punk.
Drew mentions that only one person reached out to him while
he was gone. Drew does not believe Sami Zayn when he says
that Roman Reigns is a changed man. Drew says he will give
no more to anyone and start taking from others.
Drew says anyone who has wronged him should sleep with one
eye open, and then Sami Zayn's music hits, and he shows up.
Sami says everyone thought McIntyre was recovering from a
brutal Hell In A Cell match.
Sami says he has gone through everything that McIntyre went
through, and they chose this path and chose to be a WWE
Superstar. Sami says that the fans go through their
struggles and losses like they do.
Sami says that just because McIntyre is angry does not make
him special, but if McIntyre wants to stay angry, nobody
will stop him. McIntyre says his anger comes from a place of
pain and wants to know why Sami wants this fight when he has
never beaten him. Drew suggests that Sami go to his family
and leave the arena.
Sami admits that McIntyre is right about having his number
and that he is not 100%. He says he would rather fight and
punches McIntyre in the face. McIntyre begins fighting back,
and Jey Uso appears to be about to attempt to hit the
Claymore. Sami and Jey clothesline McIntyre out of the ring
following a thrust kick from Jey. We go to a commercial
break.
