We are back and Nick Aldis is in the ring and he says it is his job to deliver the biggest and best matches. He has a contract that has already been signed by him and one of the participants for the United States Title Match at SummerSlam. All he needs is the champion's signature.
Nick brings out LA Knight first.
Out next is Logan Paul.
Logan looks at the contract and then he asks everyone why would he give this dude a shot at his title.
Knight tells Logan he talks about there is no reason for Logan to face him and maybe Logan is right. He can take a walk and they can think about it later. Knight says you might want to reconsider because every time they have been face to face, he has owned and cooked Logan. Knight mentions last year he gave Logan a map where he could stick every bottle of Prime. You have become the US Champion. He says he can't take that away from Logan. You are the guy around here as long as you hold that title. Knight says he feels it is time for his shot and he asks for it and you say no.
Knight says he shows up at Logan's house and what does that do? It got him a Money in the Bank qualifying match. In that match, he pinned Logan's shoulders to the mat. Knight says what he wants is on Logan's shoulder. He has gone around the world to try to get him to sign the contract.
Logan calls Knight 'Shaun' and he says Knight needs this match while Logan says he doesn't need the match. Logan says they are not the same. The difference is that your entire existence is defined by what he does in the ring. When he is not in the ring, he is interviewing former presidents, creating businesses, and starting a family. You are very good at what you do. Logan says he likes the catchphrase bodybuilder gimmick. You don't think or look like him. When your entire existence is defined by what you do in the ring, you have not had a moment in the last twenty years. You pretend to be the Rock.
Knight says he has never heard that before. You talk about the US title and you talk about frauds. Knight wants to bring up frauds. You walk around with the title and you are a fraud pretending to be the US Champion. You haven't signed a contract. Your brother is willing to jump into the ring with Mike Tyson but you don't have the balls to jump into the ring with him.
Logan says if Knight wants this match, he will sign the contract and give him the shot at glory.
Logan signs the contract. After he beats Knight, he will have nothing. He says Knight has nothing of value.
They bump each other and they push each other while Nick separates them.
Logan leaves the ring and then he gets back into the ring but Knight stops Paul and punches him. Logan has a punch blocked and then Logan avoids BFT and gets out of the ring.
Corey mentions the Money in the Bank contract and the current briefcase holder, Tiffany Stratton.
She says when you are Tiffany Stratton, perfection comes easy. She says she is the center of the universe and everything goes her way.
We are back and Santos and Elektra stop LA Knight in the back and he says he must be so proud to have a title match. He says that Knight pinned Logan at Madison Square Garden. Santos reminds Knight that he was in that match too and if it was one on one, it would have been different.
Knight suggests they talk if they want to do something before SummerSlam.
Santos says Knight facing him before his title match might not be the smartest thing to do.
