Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos make their way to the ring.
AJ says for those of you too foolish not to tune into Wrestlemania Saturday, you would have seen us defeat the New Day to become the new Tag Team Champions. AJ points out it was Omos' first match. AJ says that Omos wrecked them at Wrestlemania and he will do it again tonight. Before they get their tag title match tonight, AJ has a question for the WWE Universe. Did you miss us? Of course you missed us. You are asking where did AJ and Omos go after they won at Wrestlemania. AJ says they celebrated off the coast of Florida in the Caribbean. They had better things to do than throw tomatoes like the New Day. Officially, AJ Styles is a grand slam champion.
It only took me five years to do it. New Day has been through a lot and he does not want to make them jealous. They are here for one reason . . .

AJ says Kofi almost looks like him.
Xavier says they made quite the impression. Kofi congratulates them on some well earned time off. Xavier says that is the work ethic that made them 11 time champions. Kofi says they showed a lack of respect to the tag team division and took time off. That is what champions are made of.
Kofi says he wants to say something about them. There is a reason why they are 11 time tag team champions. That is because every time they get knocked down, they pick themselves back up and dust themselves off and win their titles back every time. Kofi says AJ can take shots and jabs at their career. He says on the greatest night of his career when he won the WWE Championship and had his kids in the ring. It was a physically and emotionally draining match, but I came out the next night and I showed up on Raw because that is the type of champion I am. You can brag and boast. You can talk about how you won one match and had the right to take a month off and not come to work. That is not the way they work.
Omos says he has had enough of those morons joking around. I did not knock enough sense into you at Wrestlemania. When I get done with you, neither of you will be able to laugh, or walk.
Xavier says they are going to become the 12 time WWE Tag Team Champions.
We go to commercial.
