Sami reminds Rollins that he did not ask to team with Punk and had to under the circumstances, and that he wanted to team with Rollins, but Rollins turned them down both times because he is "too damn stubborn." Rollins says he did not want "that monster" Roman Reigns to regain his power, but Sami reminds Rollins that he made that monster when he turned on The Shield ten years ago. Rollins says he is not a saint in all of this and that he has atoned for that, then tells Sami to look in the mirror as he did the same thing, even though he did it for the right reasons. He says that Roman has not changed and has not apologized to anyone for his past actions, and that neither has CM Punk.
