Roman makes his way to the ring.
Roman says tonight seems like a good night. Everyone is in a good mood. We are celebrating the Slammys and a new WWE World Champion. Looking at your face, this feels like a set up. Maybe the League of Nations will come out to jump him . . . or maybe she is going to make him sweat like her daddy did last week.
Roman says he does not sweat Stephanie, her daddy, or her husband . . . Triple H. Roman asks why would he? He hasn’t seen him since he laid him out at TLC.
