We are back and Roman Reigns comes to the ring and he says it is good to be back in Chicago. Anyone but you. This whole thing between him and Bray is over one thing, the WWE Championship. A few months ago, he was in the Money in the Bank ladder match and he had a chance to get into the title picture again.
He was climbing the ladder and then he was out of the picture again. He was taken out by someone who wasn’t even in the match. Roman asks the people if they cannot hear him because they are chanting ‘what’.
When you have beef, you settle it in the ring and they did that at Battleground. As soon as he whooped Bray’s ass, he had to call the family. Roman says he could do family versus family and he called Ambrose and it is on. They beat the Wyatts at SummerSlam in the ring, but the next night, the Wyatt Family got a lot bigger and the war went on. Some weeks, he got his ass handed to him, but that is the past and water under the bridge.

He says that Bray is trying to stop everything that he is trying to do. Roman tells his daughter when he goes on the road that he is doing this for you.
For Bray to get in the way of doing things for your loved ones? What would you do to them? At Hell in a Cell, he is going to rip you apart. You tried to take his life and future from him. When Hell in a Cell comes, Bray Wyatt is going to be left there thinking that he is the man who could not stop Roman Reigns.
Bray Wyatt comes out and he asks Roman who is he trying to convince? These people or yourself? You can put the blame on him because at the end of the day you put this tragedy on yourself. There is massacre awaiting for you at Hell in a Cell.
Roman says he agrees with Bray, but when they lock that cell, you are going to be wishing you were trapped in there with anyone but him.
