AJ Styles is in the back with Karl, Luke, and Mia as he prepares for his match later tonight.
Jey is in the ring.
Jey says growing up him and Jimmy were inseparable. They were glued at the hip. If he is there, Jimmy is there. If Jimmy is there, he's there. Having brothers is a great thing but being twins makes them special. Twins know. If he is sad, Jey is sad. If he's happy, Jey's happy. If he's mad, he's mad. If he's hurt then he is hurt too. Never in a million years did he think he would be hurt by a family member. He respects the hierarchy but when it comes to Roman, he disrespects him. Jey says he is going to spank Solo like he did last week. Paul, you have been in his family for 40 years. All that stops right here. Jey says he is the real head of the table and his name is Jey Uso.
Paul Heyman interrupts and he comes out with Solo Sikoa. He says Solo is the enforcer of the Bloodline. He is not here to enforce Paul's will or victory for the Bloodline. He is here to enforce the peace. Paul says they are going to step into the ring and nothing is going to happen but a conversation. He says Jey knows how it works. It worked this way before you were born. It was handed down by Afa and Sika and their fathers.
Next week you will go face to face with Roman Reigns to discuss the rules of engagement. Tonight, they are just going to chat. Paul says he knows that Jey is hostile tonight and he wants revenge for what happened to your twin. With the righteous indignation that you show, you are starting to sound like the Tribal Chief every day.
Paul says that Jey has no self awareness and he does not understand. He does not know what it means to be the right hand man. What happened to Jimmy was all your fault. You rose up against Roman and tried to become the head of the family. You wanted to be the conscience and good will of the family.
Paul calls for Jimmy and he says that he is Jimmy's favorite Jew-so. Do you know why you are in the hospital and why you got that beating? It was because of your twin brother Jey.
Paul says he does not know how Jey can forgive himself or how Jimmy could forgive you. Your father will never forgive you. Your mother will never forgive you. Paul says he loves Jey and Jimmy. He will never forgive Jey. Roman will never forgive Jey.
Solo asks for the mic.
Solo says what happened to Jimmy is all on Jey. Solo says he will never forgive Jey either.
