Kevin Patrick asks Drew about his possible final match against Bobby Lashley on Sunday so how is he going to get ready for AJ Styles.

Drew says he will now call Lashley "Trashley".  Drew says that while he has his match against AJ, Lashley and MVP are going to be sitting back watching from their lounge.  It isn't about the mental aspect.  You need a strategy and he says Scots have a great history of strategy.  He mentions William Wallace.  He talks about Wallace's giant brain.  Drew says his story has nothing to do with Lashley but it is a good story.  He will not tell anyone his strategy but it will end with him as WWE Champion.

We go to the Lashley Lounge of Love and Kevin Patrick ambushes Lashley to ask about Drew's match against AJ Styles.

MVP asks why does Patrick come in without knocking and he tells Kevin to show the champion some respect.  Porter says he does not know how the match came about and he does not care.  The champion is not working tonight.  If Drew is clueless enough to face someone like AJ Styles a week before Hell in a Cell, it is Drew's business, not Bobby's.  Drew will run out of opportunities to face the champ.

Lashley says Drew will wish he never uttered the name Bobby Lashley when he walks into Hell in a Cell.  When I throw Drew around that cell, he will regret it.  Drew will face the same result as William Wallace.  Drew committed a capital offense so he will publicly execute Drew and he will mount Drew's head on a stick.
