Seth Rollins welcomes everyone to tonight's show and he tells us who he is.  Seth says he feels like getting a little loose out here so he agreed to beat the bejesus out of THE Judgment Day's bag boy JD McDonagh.  He will do it to prepare for his match against Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel.  Seth says he is a fan of Drew's so he will say it as respectful as he can.  Boo Freakin Hoo.  He tells Drew to cry him a river and calls him a Scottish baby.  In 2020, all of us were suffering and fighting battles in some way.  People had it a lot worse off than you.  They didn't know when they were going to get their next paycheck, or groceries, or see their families and some didn't.  Sorry you didn't win the WWE Championship the way you dreamed it.  Then you blame everything on the Bloodline.  He tells Drew to cry him a river and get in line with people like Sami Zayn or Cody Rhodes.  They aren't asking for any pity.  Seth tells Drew he was a hell of a champion.  This Saturday, if you can take this title from him, he will be the first man to shake your hand and call you champ, just like in 2020.
