Rhodes then says he didn’t ask for an apology, but Heyman can join him in the ring. Heyman decides to stay on the apron and says he is there to deliver a message from Roman Reigns.

Zayn then says he hasn’t been pushed like that in a long time and it could have gone either way. Gable then says yeah it was great. Zayn then says he knew something was bugging Gable and asks what it was. Gable then resisted, but admitted last week’s match meant more to him. Zayn then says that was unfair as he has a family at home too and his kid cried when he lost too. Gable then says he couldn’t tell Zayn what this meant to him because he doesn’t know what it meant to him. Gable then says he knew all of that, but his issue wasn’t about that.

Zayn then says GUNTHER is starting to piss him off and this isn’t just another day at the office.

Zayn then says GUNTHER doesn’t believe he can do it and many people don’t believe in him. Zayn then says that if GUNTHER asks the Usos, they will probably say they didn’t think he would end their longest reign in tag title history, but look at what happened. Zayn then angrily signs the contract. GUNTHER then says Zayn should listen to his new friend Chad Gable as Gable doesn’t believe Zayn can beat him. GUNTHER then says when he looks into Zayn’s eyes, he can see that Zayn doesn’t believe he can beat GUNTHER as well. GUNTHER then says at WrestleMania Zayn’s dreams will meet reality. GUNTHER then signs the contract and tries to leave, but Zayn tells him to wait. Zayn then gets in GUNTHER’s face and tells him to look in his eyes again.

Gable says it wasn’t just a physical game with GUNTHER, it was mental. Zayn then says he made a career out of being the underdog that crawls his way out of any hole that he is in.

Gable also says GUNTHER is a different animal than Zayn has ever faced and if Zayn doesn’t change his mentality, he will not win.

“The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre then makes his way down to the ring, but as he is making his way to the ring, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins’ music hits and Rollins makes his way down to the ring past McIntyre and McIntyre does not look happy.

Rollins starts off by welcoming the fans to Monday Night Rollins, then says he didn’t see McIntyre there as he was too busy soaking up the spotlight. McIntyre then says he knows Rollins has more and tells him to get it out of his system now. Rollins then says he thinks McIntyre is stupid and a hypocrite, but he has to admit that something he said was correct and that is that he is a spotlight junkie. McIntyre then tells Rollins that everything is a joke to him and says the only thing he cares about is his WrestleMania match against Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. McIntyre then says the punchline will be dethroning Rollins.

Rollins then says this isn’t a joke to him and McIntyre saying he’s a spotlight junkie isn’t a joke.

Rollins also says it gets better everytime he puts everything on the line whenever he enters the ring and says he gets his fix from fans singing his song. Rollins then says he will defeat The Rock and Roman Reigns at Night One of WrestleMania with Cody Rhodes and the biggest spotlight will then be on him and McIntyre in their match at Night Two. McIntyre then says Rollins has made the World Heavyweight Championship the workhorse title and admits that he had him. McIntyre also says Rollins lost him when he brought up the spotlight, then questions why their match can’t just be about the title. McIntyre then says all he cares is that Rollins makes it to the ring at Night Two of WrestleMania, then says he won’t get the moment he deserves but rather the one he’s earned.

Rollins then says McIntyre is an addict like he is and he wants the spotlight as much as he does. Rollins also says since McIntyre won in an empty arena at WrestleMania 37, he has been wanting his moment in front of fans.
