Before he can continue, American Made’s music hits and Chad Gable makes his way down to the ring alongside Julius Creed, Brutus Creed and Ivy Nile.

Chad Gable starts off by saying Nick Aldis put a call in to him about transferring to SmackDown with the WWE Draft around the corner and the people of Minnesota are simple minded and gullible.
