Roman Reigns talks about the WWE Universe having a bad week last week because The Tribal Chief wasn’t there.

Reigns then turns his attention to The Usos for losing to King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston last week. The Usos say they are going to make The New Day acknowledge Roman Reigns tonight.

King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston then make their way to the stage. Woods talks about a table not being out here because the King belongs at the Head of the Table. King Woods proposes a challenge to face Jimmy Uso.
