You must be proud to be the second best tag team in WWE.
Woods says the Usos failed to remember that the New Day has the record and you are chasing us. You are chasing the guys who changed tag team wrestling. Y’all had people who coddled you and taught you how to do this. You got tryouts because of your name. You built your legacy off the backs of your cousins, uncles, fathers, and grandfathers. We built our reputation on our own.
Jimmy says you don’t know the pressure because of their family.
Woods tells Jimmy and Jey not to tell them about pressure. Pressure is wondering if you are going to be fired in catering. Pressure is putting together something outside of WWE to get noticed. Pressure is forming the top three man group in WWE.
These people know that pressure turned them into diamonds.
Jimmy says if you want to talk about diamonds in your crown? The real kings have the crown now. Jey says they are on his shoulders. If the Usos didn’t forfeit that match, there would have never been Kofi-Mania. He tells Kofi that he is welcome for having his kids run around the ring with him. He tells Kofi to stay home with his kids.
Kofi asks what kind of father would he be if he told his kids he forfeited his title. Having the record means so much more to him. They started to preach positivity after winning the title. It is when they would come to work to fight to obtain some success only to be told that they sucked. It represents a time that might be the last time that the New Day was whole. We elevated you in the process. We will not forfeit this record to you . . .
Matt Riddle interrupts and comes to the ring.
Riddle apologizes for interrupting even if he did.
Riddle says him and Elias are forming a band and… Jimmy tells Riddle to shut up.
