Ziggler: “It’s not about how I’m going to beat him it’s about the message I’m going to send to every other superstar. I am the Show Stopper, I am what Shawn Michaels wishes he could have been. That is the reason Shawn didn’t pick me too because he couldn’t deal with seeing someone who he knows deep done is a better version of what he wanted to be.” (Braun walks into the scene):
Strowman: “Dolph you just need to be ready cause later tonight you’re going to catch these hands.” (Braun walks away, with Dolph with a somewhat concerned look)
No Way Jose would make his way to the ring: “I have been reborn and I see a new way and the old No Way Jose is done and gone. I’m done with all these games and trying to make everyone laugh and have fun. I’m a new person and I’m down with being No Way Jose. From now on everyone will refer to me as Jose Valenzuela Jr. If I want to get anything done around here you have to be cut throat and that’s what I am going to do.

Orton: “Oh Rey, see what you’ve become? Even before the draft a few weeks ago you showed your weakness. (Orton makes his way to the ring) Rey no matter what you’ve done here in WWE, you think that’s it’s your size that’s held you back but you’re wrong. You can flip around as much as you want and get the crowd behind you but your ability has always lacked. You can paint a horse black and white and put it in Africa but it’ll never be a Zebra. Just like you, you can put your mask on and think all you want about yourself but you’ll never be a superstar. (Orton gets in ring) See Rey the thing is, I’ve showed that no matter what I can always win in WWE. So, I’m going to show you right now that I am and always will be the Viper and the Legend Killer.” (Orton grabs Rey and puts him through the ropes and hits an elevated DDT then hit Rey with a punt to the head.
