Finn Balor makes his way to the ring.

Finn tells Roman exactly what he told Seth Rollins two weeks ago. He was the first Universal Champion and he never lost his title. If you want a piece of the beast, the line starts behind him.

Finn says that Roman should know what he is about because he beat Roman on his first night on Raw.

Samoa Joe’s music plays and he comes to the ring.

Joe says they have it all wrong. It is not about hearts or anybody’s yard. It is not about anybody’s club. It is about actions and results.

Action, he goes on to face Brock Lesnar.

Bray Wyatt’s introduction interrupts Samoa Joe and Bray is in the ring. He says the beast approaches and you put on your brave faces. He feels you trembling. You will cower and you will fall. You will run. Bray…
