The music for Sheamus plays and he is joined by Cesaro.
Sheamus says you owe us a big thank you for saving your skin last night. Cesaro says Seth was mopping you up. Cesaro says Seth would be the WWE Champion if not for them. Sheamus says you almost lost the title in your first title defense. It isn’t because you are a B+ Player, but because the New Day wasn’t here. Cesaro suggests a six man tag match.
Big E says that there are only two of you. Cesaro says they made a friend on Raw. Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ringside area to stand next to Sheamus and Cesaro. The two teams face off as McIntyre’s music plays, McIntyre and The Bar from the ramp.
