He says he has been given certain assurances to be on the team. After they get the job done, there is still business between them and with sparkle crotch.
Stephanie says they will be going against Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin, and AJ Styles. Stephanie tells Chris that they should all be on his list. Will Kevin prove that he is the best champion. You need to work as a team to show that you are better. You need to show Daniel Bryan that you are not complacent or lazy. They picked the best of the best and you are going to prove it at Survivor Series. Stephanie says you are going to fight like your lives depend on it and because your jobs depend on it.
Kevin says Stephanie is right. They need to get on the same page. Kevin and Chris have been taking over Raw every week, but they have made some enemies. They are man enough to say they might have made some mistakes. Chris tells Roman and Seth they know that they are angry because they are Universal Champions. You might be stupid idiots, like everyone in Glasgow, you are their stupid idiots.
Kevin says you all have to listen to the co-captains of the team, Kevin and Chris. Chris says he likes them and says they have a lot of spunk. Kevin says they have potential. If you listen to them, they will be victorious at Survivor Series. Kevin tells Roman it cannot be like things were in the Shield.
