We are back with a look at what happened with the end of the New Day.
We see Adam Pearce leaving his office with Cody Rhodes and Woods and Kofi walk up to Cody.
Cody says he has known both of them for a long time and he says they should be ashamed of themselves.
Woods and Kofi walk away and Woods says it is great to hear that from Cody because he was such a great guy in high school.
Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.
Seth welcomes everyone to Raw. He says they have a lo talk about tonight. He wants the people to give it up for Punk. Seth says when his days are done in the ring he has a career as a politician. He says that was a master class in how to spin the truth. You take a little bit of the truth, you spin it, and play the victim. He says Punk has been doing that his entire life. He calls Punk a fraud and a con man. Seth says Punk was right. He did go to him to get trained. He says Punk was once one of the best and he says he idolized Punk. Punk helped him get his foot in the door in WWE. They were friends. If the story ended there, why does Seth Rollins hate Punk so much.
Punk left out the reason why. When Punk walked out of the doors, he called and texted Punk because he was a friend and respected him. He says he got nothing and he got ghosted. It wasn't just him. It was everyone who was friends with him. If you didn't line up with Team CM Punk, you were evil. That isn't where it ended. For ten years, all Punk tried to do was tear this company down. He took any pot shot that he could. Do you know why Punk came back? He failed everywhere else. He burned every bridge. The money was right.
Seth says he used to chant his name and he used to respect him and follow in his footsteps. He realized that Punk was a fraud and he tried to do it better. He did everything that Punk did and he did it twice. He did the one thing that Punk couldn't do and that is main event Wrestlemania.
Sami Zayn's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Seth tells Sami if he is out here to defend CM Punk again, they are fighting again. He says he doesn't have time for it.
Sami says Seth was angry and he said things. Sami says he was angry and said things. They fought and that is expected when you have known each other for so long. Sami says it was wrong of him to assume that he dropped Jey Uso in the back. Sami says he is sorry about that.
Seth says he is glad that Sami brought that up. Seth says that what has eaten him up is that they have known each other for twenty years and their kids have played together. Why was he the first one that Sami thought of.
Sami says the way that Seth was speaking, he was out of his mind. He was talking about the man who points his fingers at everyone and acts like they have all of the moral clarity. He says that Seth sounded like Drew McIntyre.
Seth says he is not Drew McIntyre.
Sami says that Seth is a better person that Drew. The thing with you and Punk has brought out the worst in you. Sami says maybe he shouldn't have gotten involved. He won't get in the way of Seth and Punk.
Seth thanks Sami and he says he appreciated it.
Sami wants to know if they are good.
Seth says they are good. He appreciates Sami letting him deal with Punk because Sami has business with Drew.
Seth leaves the ring.
Sami says that is good advice. He says he will take care of business with Drew. He won't listen to Drew talking for weeks about how he is a martyr. Sami says he has spoken to Adam Pearce and they are going to meet at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Drew McIntyre attacks Sami on the stage. Drew punches Sami and officials pull Drew off Sami.
