Live in the Mohegan Sun Arena, Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way out to the ring alone. Reigns stands alone in the ring and tells the crowd to acknowledge him. Reigns says he misses one week and it all falls apart. Reigns says he did a lot of thinking in isolation and there are two people he never wants to see again, Heyman and Lesnar. Immediately after saying this, Lesnar comes out to the ring with Heyman by his side.

Heyman begins his usual Lesnar promo when Lesnar stops him and takes the mic for himself. Lesnar mimics Heyman’s promo and introduces himself as the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Champion. Lesnar tells Reigns to acknowledge him in a mocking tone. Lesnar says that last Saturday he got the championship that he wanted, he tells Reigns it’s time to give everyone what they want, and challenges Reigns to a champion vs champion match. Reigns says it’s a good idea, but it’s not his idea. Reigns says it’s his show and they do what he says, on his time. Reigns calls out Heyman and Heyman starts talking to Reigns while crying and sounding like Reigns’ divorced spouse, while Lesnar is distracted talking to Heyman, Reigns hits a Superman punch and Reigns leaves the ring with Lesnar down on the mat.
