AJ Styles and Jordan make their way to the ring.

AJ says we learned that Smackdown is not playing around with Jey Uso and Kevin Owens on their team.  Not to worry because Raw has the advantage.  AJ says Smackdown lacks someone with those intangibles to be a leader.  Someone who has that "it factor'.  Someone who can take a team and mold them and dominate.  Someone like . . . me.

AJ asks why wouldn't you want the captain of the best of the best to be the very best?  AJ says with his first order as team captain of Raw, I am going to get that rally cry to boost morale and he is going to introduce his team.

AJ brings out Sheamus and Keith Lee.

AJ says there is a reason why he brought them out.  You are the best of the best and your success is my success.  It does not matter who we have to go through on Team Smackdown.

Keith interrupts and he says he does not believe either of them agreed that you were the captain.  If you think your sizable friend is enough to intimidate me into this, you need to think twice.  

AJ asks Sheamus to show Keith the way.

Sheamus says he agrees with Keith.  Before you decided to step up from the minor leagues into the big leagues, I have run the WWE for years.  I will never take orders from you.

AJ says this is disrespectful.  Don't you know what is at stake?  Do you know what it will mean for my legacy if we win.

Braun Strowman interrupts and he says the only thing this team needs are these hands.  It does not matter who they face, the monster is on the team.

Keith tells Braun that he will have to qualify.

Braun says not only has he eiminted the most talent in a Survivor Series match and I have won a Survivor Series Match.  I beat you two weeks ago.  I am qualified to be on the team and I should be the team chaptain.

Adam Pearce comes out and he says that he would love for Braun to be on Raw's team and he needs to find an opponent.

Keith comments on Braun saying he won clean.

Sheamus asks Keith how long has he been on Raw.  He tells Keith that there is an order so step behind.  I have made a career kicking monsters.
