In the ring, Triple H said Roman Reigns has held the belt a long time, but did not defend it as frequently as the fans would have liked. Whatever brand Roman Reigns gets drafted to, he will take the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship with him and stay there. The other brand will determine a new champion.

Lashley came out and said he knows how tough Theory is, but he doesn’t think Theory knows how tough Theory is. He said Theory is either lazy or scared because he should be welcoming every challenger. Lashley said he was the one who requested the triple threat match. Theory said if it is that easy for him to get a match, why didn’t he have a match at WrestleMania.

Earlier today, Chad Gable explained the draft to Boogs. Gable said he ensured that wherever he goes, Otis goes. Maxine Dupri showed up and told Gable that she has ensured that wherever she goes, Otis goes. Mustafa Ali told Gable he knows he’s worried about losing Otis, but then he can finally reach his potential and be the world champion, but that would be the end of Alpha Academy which would be the end of his life as he knows it because everyone will think he’s a loser without Otis just like he will be a loser in their match tonight.

In the ring, Seth Rollins said he was going to come out and talk about Omos, but he now has his mind on something bigger and that’s the world championship. He said Reigns has beaten a lot of people during his title reign, but he is not one of them. He wants the championship because this is an opportunity for us to have a world championship that’s about more than politics and part-timers. Omos and MVP came out. MVP said he respects Rollins. It’s his job to get MVP big matches and getting a match against Rollins is huge. Rollins said Omos is a once in a generation because he was born that way. Rollins is a once in a generation because he made himself that way. He is not afraid of Omos and he is going to make him famous by giving him the match of his life.
Backstage, Kevin Owens asked Sami Zayn where he’s been all night. Zayn said he talked to Jey. He asked Zayn why he cares. Owens said he used to like The Usos before they became Reign’s cronies. It’s too late now. If they haven’t figured out that Roman is using them to stay where he’s at, then whatever happens to them after we beat them on Friday, happens. Owens said he is worried about keeping the titles and that’s what Zayn should be worried about.
