Miz asks Bray what does he want.
Bray says he wants you to suffer. He wants Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns to suffer. He wants people to pay for their sins. He already showed Randy Orton and Jimmy Uso. Bray says he wants everyone to understand that it does not matter how many show up at Night of Champions because they all fall down.

Roman says you make him sick. You think you are king of the world. Sitting here like you were the man. You take care of Randy Orton and his cousin Jimmy Uso last week. You are going to pay for what you did to his blood. Roman tells Bray he is not the man. If you were the man, you could have beaten me one on one. If he was the man, the two of you could have beaten us at SummerSlam. You want three on two because you are not the man.
In Houston, at Night of Champions, it ain’t three on two. They found a third. They have a partner so it will be three on three and they will whoop your asses. In six days, they are bringing the big fight and they are making it a war. They are going to win. BELIEVE THAT.
Bray laughs at Dean and Roman and . . .
the lights go out.

We are back and Ryback is in the ring. He says he is proud to be standing here as your Intercontinental Champion. He says it is fitting that they are in Memphis. Apparently a man by the name of Kevin Owens has the Big Guy all shook up.
Ryback mentions what Kevin Owens did on Smackdown. He says he knows that Kevin Owens has no respect for him, this ring, or being a champion. A champion does not attack a warrior from behind . . .
But Kevin Owens will interrupt a man during his promo.
Kevin tells Ryback he doesn’t mean to interrupt . . . he does mean to interrupt because he has something to share with Ryback. You stood in that ring and explained how the book ‘The Secret’ played a role in your life. It helped you get over an injury and helped you get to where you are today.
Kevin says he bought a copy of The Secret.
Ryback asks if you can read it.
Kevin says he could read it better than Ryback and understood it the first time he read it. He feels sorry for the delusional idiots who believe that.
Kevin says that book is an excuse. This is a crutch for weak people. Kevin says he cannot blame Ryback for reading it, but he can blame Ryback for being weak in the first place. He says that Ryback is a monster. You may be the strongest guy in the locker room, but you are also the weakest. It is a travesty that someone like you is Intercontinental Champion.
Ryback says that Kevin is the only one who is delusional. You pick on me for a book that changed his life. Ryback is going to tell Kevin Owens who he is and what he is about. He is the Big Guy. He is always hungry. He wakes up and he says ‘Feed Me More’.
Ryback says he understands there are many ways to the top of the mountain in the WWE. You took a long time to get here and he respects Kevin’s journey. Ryback says he got an elevator ride to the top but he hit rock bottom. He got back up. He brushed himself off and he climbed up the mountain. He is not a weak man. He is the Intercontinental Champion.
Kevin says if he ever gets a shot at that title, he is going to take it from you and he will show that the BIG GUY is nothing more than a weak little boy.
Ryback says he finds it funny because he went to the Authority and at Night of Champions, where every title is on the line, it will be Kevin Owens versus The BIG GUY for the Intercontinental Title.
Ryback says he is not just some guy, he is THE BIG GUY.
Owens leaves the ring and he walks away.
