Sami quickly brushes it off, stating that he just wants to know where his true ride-or-die supporters are located.

Sami reflects on Crown Jewel, arguing that many wrongs were finally made right at the event. He addresses what transpired after his match against Roman Reigns, clarifying that it was never about asking for validation or begging for approval. Instead, he explains that he wanted and needed respect, and he ultimately got it.

Sami declares that he demanded it, commanded it, and straight-up took it. Moreover, he emphasizes that he achieved something unprecedented in this industry by getting Roman Reigns to acknowledge him. Then, he warns the fans that if Roman can show him respect, then that is the absolute bare minimum he expects from every single person in attendance.

Before Sami can continue his address, Kevin Owens’ music suddenly hits, interrupting the segment as he makes his determined walk down to the ring.

Sami asks Kevin if this is how things are going to be between them. Kevin responds by telling Sami that he is not talking to Roman Reigns, CM Punk, or Trick Williams right now. Furthermore, Kevin admits he is glad Sami righted a few wrongs, noting that he recently fixed one himself by beating CM Punk.

Kevin emphasizes that over the past twenty-five years, he has always maintained that Sami is one of the best to ever do it.

He adds that critics talking down to Sami are not even half as good on their best day as Sami is on his worst.

Kevin explains that seventeen months of his career were ripped away, and he fought back because wrestling defines who he is.

Johnny Gargano steps in to stop Kevin, asking if Kevin thinks he is the only one with wrongs to right. Johnny laments that this has been the worst year of his life after losing everything.

Kevin responds by telling Johnny that he respects both him and Candice LeRae. However, Kevin reminds him that he laid on a metal grate for six months just to earn a title shot. Kevin sternly warns Johnny that this situation has nothing to do with him, before telling Sami his reign is on borrowed time.

Out of nowhere, Johnny attacks Kevin from behind and holds him in place so Candice can deliver a sharp slap. As Sami quietly exits the ring, Johnny continues the assault and uncorks a superkick. Kevin blocks a second superkick, counters with a quick boot, and levels Johnny with a devastating Stunner.

Rey Mysterio interrupts their conversation to formally introduce the newest member of Team Mexico: Rey Fenix. Fenix steps forward and states that it is a massive honor to share the ring with legends like them. He adds that he is fighting for his country, his family, and his deep love for lucha libre.
