The Street Profits are with Kayla. She asks them about comments from Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.
Montez asks if they look funny. He says he faces a former World Champion Dolph Ziggler. Would it be funny if I made it rain solo cups. Angelo asks if it would be funny if Roode got involved and he hit him so hard he forced multiple Robert Roodes to show up?
