Hulk Hogan makes his way to the stage with Jimmy Hart.
Hogan wants to know what’s up in Philadelphia. He says a long time ago when Hulkamania was running wild, a little show called Raw started. Week after week it got bigger and it got stronger. Hogan’s mic goes out but he says we are here to celebrate 30 years of Raw. We are celebrating together and he asks ‘Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania and the Eagles run wild on you’.

Sami Zayn is in the ring with the official talking segment table and talking segment microphones.
Paul hands Roman a microphone and he tells Philadelphia to acknowledge him.
Roman says they should get down to business.
Roman hands Paul the mic and everyone but Solo and Paul sit down at the table and Sami sits against the ropes.
Paul introduces himself and he says he heard a cheer of three letters near and dear to him. The crowd chants ECW again. Paul says ECW is dead and he says he wishes the same for Sami Zayn. He says that Sami is a Judas and the betrayer of the Island of Relevancy. He has been in a conspiracy with Kevin Owens since day number one. Sami has been making them feel good about how much he belongs in the bloodline. He makes them feel like the fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. Paul says they will feel like the Eagles fans after BROCK Purdy defeats them.
Paul says this is an open and shut case. He has exhibits but he only needs to show four pieces of footage that Sami Zayn is guilty as charged.
Paul shows exhibit A. A video from August 12th when Drew McIntyre attacked the Usos but Sami runs away. Paul asks where was Sami. He was running away like the gutless coward he is.
We go to Exhibit B: Raw on August 29th when he refused to hit Kevin Owens with the chair and Jey lost his match.
We go to Exhibit C. After War Games, Sami Zayn is on the top of the cage celebrating the victory for individual glory. He gives a ‘4 Life’ symbol.
We go to Exhibit D: Smackdown on December 23rd when he bumped into Roman Reigns during a promo. Paul says that is assault on the Tribal Chief. Do you want to commit Euthanasia on his father or castrate his son so you could be the Head of the Table.
If you are guilty of nothing else, you are guilty of assault.
Paul wants this rat bastard guilty as charged.
Paul says the Prosecution rests.
Sami gets up and he says he had a whole defense all lined up and laid out in his head. What he did not expect was how he felt when he came out here. Listening to Paul say that to his face after every time he hugged him, that hurts. Sami says watching you play that video and craft that video to make him look bad. Do you think he is trying to work with Kevin Owens or take over? The fact that you would think that hurts.
After everything that has gone one. These people see it. They have seen it all over the last nine months. To make him sit here and be on trial to defend himself, that hurts.
Sami says his defense is that he has no defense.
Roman looks around and he takes a mic.
Roman wants to get this straight. You don’t have a defense? You got so much ego you won’t fight for this? You have so much ego that you can’t argue for this? I give you opportunity after opportunity and this is the respect you give me?
Roman calls for Solo.
Solo gets behind Sami and he sets for a Samoan Spike but Jey stops him.
Jey says he means no disrespect but he put together some footage.
We see Exhibit A. From June 3rd, Sami playing Roman’s music to distract Matt Riddle to retain the tag titles.
Exhibit B from August 19th when Sami took a Claymore for Roman.
Exhibit C is from September 9th when Sami took a chair shot for Solo.
Exhibit D from December 9th when Sami stopped Sheamus from breaking up a cover.
Exhibit E from War Games when Sami stopped the referee from making the three count and then hit Kevin low.
Jey says it is right there on tape and on film for the whole world to see. This man has took so many bullets for him, Roman, and the entire Bloodline. He says Sami is bulletproof. Jey says we know that he despised him and didn’t trust him. You say the good in him the entire time. That is what family do. That tape demonstrates loyalty and love to this family. Jey says he loves Sami like a brother.
Jey tells everyone to show their support for Sami to stay in the Bloodlline. Jimmy joins in with the crowd but Paul, Solo, and Roman do not.
Roman stands up and he says as your Tribal Chief and Head of the Table, he finds Sami Not Guilty.
Roman says . . . for now. Roman tells Sami to thank Jey because he bought Sami more time. This is how it is going to go. Finish out tonight and make the Bloodline proud, but he does not want to see or hear from Sami until Saturday. He will see him at the Royal Rumble. That is where you are going to deliver your final test. We will see if Sami Zayn really is The Bloodline . . . or not.
Jey puts his lei around Sami's neck and then Sami hugs Jey and Jimmy.
