Gunther is in the concourse and he says he wants to feel what the YEET is all about.

Gunther goes through the crowd to the ring.

Gunther says the yeet is a very simple gesture for a very simple people.  He says that Jey is simple too.  He understands they don't appreciate him.  It is like reading Shakespeare to a dog.  Gunther tells a child to move before something happens to him.  He says you need to understand that as the best wrestlers in the company, he is sick and tired of stepping into the ring with people who cannot even lace his boots.  He says he was hopeful he could talk some sense into Jey or beat some sense into him to make the right decision.  Because of you, he got a false sense of confidence and it led to him digging his own grave.

Gunther says at Wrestlemania, the match won't happen up here, it will happen in the ring.  After that bell rings, he outclasses Jey Uso in every aspect of this sport.  

Gunther goes over the ringside barrier and he walks onto the steps.  After Wrestlemania, Jey Uso's blood will be on your hands.  For once, be honest to yourself, to him, and to Jey.  Do you think Jey stands a chance to beat him at Wrestlemania?

Raquel says what happened to Jade could happen to anyone.  Liv chortles again.

Jey Uso goes through the back and he sees Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.
