We are live from the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas, as The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring.
Jey says that the Bloodline is in your city. Jey hands the mic to Paul who introduces himself and he says he has information that tonight history will unfold…
The Judgment Day interrupt and they make their way to the ring.
Damian addresses Paul and Solo moves but Paul tells him it is okay. Paul and Damian shake hands and Paul says it is an honor. Paul says it is a good day to be a very bad guy. If there’s a heaven, none of them are getting into it. A short term deal engineered, conceived of, and endorsed by Roman Reigns.
Jey says they didn’t know about this.
Paul says Roman didn’t want anyone on their side, but Solo, to know because Roman wanted his Usos to be caught off guard by the enormity of this alliance. Paul says that Finn is not that happy about this because of Finn’s anger issues over the Bloodline. Paul says Finn will put these feelings aside for the purpose of short term villainy. Paul says they have a Bad Bunny concern and Solo has a skill in assuaging concerns.
Paul asks Jey to switch places with Solo. Solo stares down Rhea in the line up. Paul asks Rhea if everything is okay. Rhea says ‘for now’.
Paul says he wants to explain this. The Judgment Day needs something taken care of and that is Bad Bunny. Solo will take care of that before it gets out of control. He says they have a Sami and Kevin problem as well as a Riddle to solve. There will be a six man tag match at Backlash with the Usos and Solo against Sami, Kevin, and Riddle, if they make it to the show. Those three men will face The Judgment Day tonight. Paul says they will take care of Bad Bunny.
Heyman says that Solo will smash his opponent, and he apologizes to Dom for having to be around Solo’s opponent, Rey Mysterio.
Backstage:
The Judgment Day are in the back and Priest mentions Bad Bunny being on Raw next week. He better have a new attitude. Dom says Priest does not have to be Bunny’s friend just like he doesn’t need Rey to be his dad. Seeing Solo break Rey piece by piece…
Paul walks in and asks if that was enough.
Finn says eh. Paul says it is their turn to do eh, but do it to Kevin, Sami, and Riddle tonight so they don’t get into debt with Roman. Priest says they settle their business. That is a problem with the Usos and Roman. Rhea tells Paul goodbye and Paul calls Roman.
