He ain’t ready because he ain’t even here yet. When he does get here, Roman, he needs Roman to meet him in the middle of the ring by the end of the night to accept his terms of surrender.

Nick stops Cody Rhodes and he wants to know where Cody is going. Cody says he is going to the ring for his face to face. Nick says he hasn’t heard from Kevin and says that Kevin isn’t even here.

The guy in charge of the group tried to end his career and he never did. Kevin says he stood by Cody when he came back and he fought against them.

Then Roman Reigns needs a partner because he pissed off everyone and who says yes? You said yes and you teamed with the guy who tried to end his career and end what he has loved since he was 11 years old. It is all your fault.
Cody tells Kevin enough. If you want to justify your actions because he teamed with Roman Reigns, you can believe that. Cody says him teaming with Roman had NOTHING to do with you. Cody says Roman asked him. He says Kevin has to be a victim and everyone has to be against him. You have to be the one held down. No one holds Kevin Owens down more than Kevin Owens. Your self-sabotage is next level. You want to be the face of WWE and the number one guy, but you forget that it is a team effort. You obsessed and fixated over that because you have been synonymous with WWE for 10 years. Everyone but you knows that.
You want to talk self-sabotage? How about the last time they wrestled each other. At Bash in Berlin, you couldn’t pull the trigger. You could have been standing here as WWE Champion. Cody says Kevin blames him for that. You finally pulled the trigger, just on the wrong guy. Randy Orton is a 100 percent legend and he was your friend. He did not deserve what you did to him. You didn’t just bring back a banned move, you crossed a line. This lesson won’t be handled with a mere microphone. He will beat it into Kevin. Whether it is tonight or in your home country or at Saturday Night’s Main Event, it is coming. He tells Kevin the ball is in his court.
Kevin asks Cody if he is going to fight him. Kevin says you will get it when he says it is happening. The crowd groans and Kevin says it is definitely not happening tonight. Kevin says when it happens, he is just doing his job. Kevin says if Cody thinks he crossed the line with Randy, he loved Randy Orton. Kevin says he hates Cody.

This won’t be the last time that the four women will be facing each other in the ring, as Bayley and Naomi along with the aforementioned Belair, the other half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill, and Rhea Ripley will be taking on LeRae, Stratton, Women’s Champion Nia Jax, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez in the Women’s WarGames Match at WWE Survivior Series: WarGames on November 30.

Coming off a successful defense against Berto last week, LA Knight will be putting the United States Championship on the line once again tonight as he goes head-to-head with Berto’s Legado Del Fantasma stablemate Santos Escobar. Knight found himself involved in a tense verbal exchange with Escobar in the moments before Berto challenged him for his title.
