Waller says D'Angelo was chosen compared to him and that he had to show him what a WarGames match was like, and says that resenting being near D'Angelo only made him hungrier. D'Angelo says Waller is a hypocrite who hides behind one-liners and memes because he is desperate for attention. Waller says that this is called "having a personality" and that D'Angelo left his in his fedora, then says he won his match against him mentally months ago, as D'Angelo has been through it all and all he has to do is drag D'Angelo to the deepest water and let him drown himself. D'Angelo says they were both thrown into the deep end, then says that he likes NXT 2.0 after seeing how many future stars is produced and that while their paths were different, he and Waller were "foundation guys," and it all comes down to them one-on-one.

Sami then raises a finger up as Reigns tells the fans to acknowledge him, then Sami says that nothing has changed and that he thinks about "the old time" all the time. Reigns says Raw may be his show, but he has an opportunity - some may have a favor - for him. He says that the greatest title that Sami has ever had is the honorary title of "Honorary Uso," and asks if they are here to discuss titles or 946.

Roman says the WWE Championship is "a title," while the World Heavyweight Championship is "the title." Sami begins to think that it all has to do with the arrogance of the man holding the title, and Roman says it has all to do with the man, as Sami's title has meant nothing since WrestleMania 40. Sami says that they will not sit here and minimize his achievement, as it took him 20 years to win the Undisputed WWE Championship and he is "one in a billion." He says that this is not how he wanted things to go, especially since he respects Reigns, but what feels more like disrespect than Reigns' words is Reigns standing two feet away from him like he is not a threat when Reigns knows what kind of threat he can pose.
