WWE Men's Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn make their way to the ring.
Sami talks about how they heard they will be defending the tag titles at Night of Champions against Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns. That is as big a threat as there is, on paper. They don't see it as a threat. it is a gift because they are getting a chance at revenge on Roman Reigns. Sami says Kevin should have beaten Roman for the Universal Championship. Sami says he should have beaten Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber. Roman has cheated his way through an entire title reign and gone unchecked for so long. They are going to check Roman.

Kevin says he is happy they came out. He says he is sick of talking about the Bloodline. He says he knows they don't want to hang out later, so let's fight.
Sami calms Kevin down. He says he started out at a ten and he says Kevin is up there. They have problems with the Bloodline, but they don't have issues with THE Judgment Day. Maybe they don't want to fight.
Sami asks the gentlemen and Dom to go ahead.
Damian says Kevin is spot on and he would love to fight. Finn tells Priest to be tranquilo because they are here to talk. Finn says they are here to wish them luck against Solo and Roman. Last week, you said you were done with the Bloodline, but you are back where you started. Damian says, right back being beaten up by Roman. Finn says if by some miracle, you do win, there is going to be a line of superstars waiting for you and the line starts here.
Rhea says in case you didn't remember THE Judgment Day run Raw.
Sami says those are fantastic points, however, Sami says he would love to hear what Dom has to say. Sami says the people love when you talk.
Dom holds up the mic to his mouth and the noise drowns him out.
Kevin says we can't hear him, so let's punch him in the face.
