Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring by wheelchair.
We take a look at the way that Brock Lesnar manipulated Sami Zayn into getting destroyed by Roman Reigns last week on Smackdown instead of at Day One.
Sami says he is the toughest man in WWE history. He says don't judge him on what he looks like now, look at what caused him to be in this state. It took the two most dangerous men in WWE to do this to him. It took Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar to do this to me. Two guys who can't stand each other make sure that Sami Zayn is not the champion. I am not going to call it a conspiracy, but come on. I was robbed. You know what really hurt about what Brock did to me. It wasn't the Germans or the F-5s, it was the betrayal. Now I have to do something about it. Now, I have to do what is right. I have to stand by my convictions. I have to sue.
It brings me no pleasure. I am going to sue Adam Pearce, Sonya Deville, the referee who rang the bell because that match shouldn't have happened. I am going to sue Brock Lesnar. I am going to sue Roman Reigns. I am going to sue Paul Heyman. I am going to sue anyone who cost me my title match.
Paul Heyman comes out. I am sorry that you have been subjected to this spiel about litigation and suing from Sami Zayn.

Brock says he is feeling him. You said we were friends last week and tonight. Brock points out they are both Canadians. Do you really think you could have single handedly beaten Roman Reigns? I did you a favor.

Brock gets up and Sami is not happy. Brock says they should get out of Hollywood and do something more fun and enjoy things.
Sami says that is not a bad idea.
Brock pushes Sami in the wheelchair against the ropes.
Paul wants to know what the hell is he looking at. Paul says he has spent too much time at the dispensary and the edibles are kicking in. That would have been an automatic trip to Suplex City three years ago. Now he is looking at Canadian Besties getting ready to go Moose Hunting in Saskatchewan. You were the man who would be the Universal Champion.
