Roman says he wants the entire family there, including Jey, but does not mention Jimmy. As Jimmy takes offense and tris to leave, Roman tells him to sit down. Jimmy stays standing up, and Roman dares him to do something, saying he could whup him then and can whup him now and that he will respect, obey and acknowledge him before telling him to leave.

Cameron Grimes beats Ashante "Thee" Adonis. After the match, Cameron Grimes is attacked out of nowhere from behind by Baron Corbin.



Bianca Belair heads to the ring. Bianca talks about her championship match with Asuka at Night of Champions, and says it is against a different Asuka from who she knew and does not respect. She says that Asuka wants more than her title, and if she wanted a rematch, all she had to do was ask; instead, Asuka showed up in her hometown and misted her in front of her family and friends, then nearly did it again when she tried to help Zelina Vega. While the blue mist is still affecting her a little bit, her mind has never been more clear, and she is not giving Asuka a rematch, but a fight, at Night of Champions, until she retains her title. Suddenly, Asuka's entrance music hits, but Bianca is attacked from behind by Asuka, who puts her in a cross arm breaker until officials go after her. Asuka soon rushes at Bianca again, and throws Asuka into the officials with a K.O.D., which allows Asuka to run away.

It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guests are Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa after Owens declares it "The Kevin and Sami Show." Paul Heyman suddenly shows up and says that Roman Reigns only shows up when he wants to, then The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up. Jey says he and Jimmy did not forget what Kevin and Sami did to them last week, and that Kevin and Sami have a bigger problem in front of them. Owens says he wanted to talk to The Usos anyway. Owens says he does not get why Sami cares about The Usos, but he feels The Usos deserve better. He says Sami was right has been right about that and how Roman has treated them, as The Usos are the heart of Roman's table. He then says that Roman uses The Usos and treats them as "the appendix of the table" as if they were expendable and have gone from the greatest tag team to Roman's errand boys, but Jimmy Uso says that as far as things go, he is the Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns' entrance theme immediately hits, then Roman confronts The Usos and tosses the microphons out of The Usos' hands. Sami asks Roman if he knows that The Bloodline is collapsing and if it is all his fault. When Roman knocks the microphone out of Sami's hand, Owens hits Roman with a Stunner, starting a brawl. Solo Sikoa shows up and lays out Owens and Sami, then tosses Sami into a Spear by Roman Reigns. Jey then hands the tag team titles to both Roman and Solo as Jimmy is reluctant to hand them off to Roman, then Roman lifts all four tag team belts to end the show.Solo Sikoa shows up and lays out Owens and Sami, then tosses Sami into a Spear by Roman Reigns.
