Lethal says that he and Gresham feel they have no need to explain themselves, then says he has truly started to understand what Gresham has been telling him. He says that he has had a hard time understanding due to him pside and his love for Ring of Honor, but he has seen that the wrestlers that everyone loves and are even champions all have one thing in one common: they do whatever they want and nobody says a word. He says that from now on, they will do whatever they want to do.

Suddenly, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) show up, and Jay tells Lethal that if they want the tag team titles, they can fight them right now.

He says that one had to ask for critique and advice on how to become a professional wrestler, and tells the fans that they are consumers and not professional wrestlers.

He says he has taken teams to war, and at Crown Jewel, it will be like Hogan vs. Flair one more time and Team Hogan will go down. Hogan tells Flair to check the history books, as he has never beaten him and he will never beat Team Hogan now, especially when he has guys with a heart of gold in Shorty G, athletic prowess in Ali and power in Rusev. After Hogan says every dog needs a bone to chew on and that Team Hogan will chomp on Team Flair, Sami Zayn says Shorty G could stand on Ali's shoulders and still be only have the man Shinsuke Nakamura is. Shorty G says he has accepted who he is and is honored to be part of Team Hogan, and says he will prove people wrong when Team Hogan wins. Ali says he doesn't have to pay attention to Sami, as Sami is "just a mouthpiece." King Corbin tells Ali that he is in the presence of a king and that Crown Jewel was named in his honor, and that he will take Team Flair to victory. He then says Roman Reigns will let everyone down, as this is his kingdom now. Corbin says that Roman will bow to him like the fans do, as the fans need a ruler with an iron fist. Roman tells Corbin to shut up before making fun of his royal garb, saying everybody likes it when he looks stupid and not when he acts stupid. Shorty G proposes they have a six-man tag match, and Hogan says this is a good idea, saying it will make for a good preview of Crown Jewel. Sami says he appreciates the offer and that they will take it under consideration, then head towards the back. Hogan then proceeds to make of them, and Sami tells them that they're on. Sami then says he tweaked his neck on the flight and is on the "do not touch" list. He then says that he knows somebody who is itching for an opportunity that can replace him, then brings him out: Cesaro. Team Hogan ends up getting the upper hand, forcing Team Flair to retreat.

Movement" question with footage from last November of Daniel stating that the version of him fans love - and the "Yes! Movement" itself - is dead, and that he is a new Daniel Bryan. Sami then states that people booed Daniel because they did not like "The New" Daniel Bryan, then says he has known Daniel for a while, that "The New" Daniel Bryan is the real Daniel, that he believes every word and that the fans have no honor and care only for themselves. Sami says that Daniel Bryan has more in common with him and Nakamura than with the fans, as he is also a vegan and a man who loves the environment, and says that the three of them are "three true artists." Sami says he and Nakamura are artists and that Daniel is one of the best artists, then says Daniel is at a crossroads and that he can either bring back the "Yes! Movement" to "cater to the nitwits" or move forward and join them. Sami tells Daniel they they can take his career to new heights, make the world a better place and do more than the fans ever could, and asks if he wants to move backwards with the fans or move forwards with them.
