Shane McMahon makes his way to the ring and despite losing on Sunday, he is able to do the Shane-O Shuffle on the stage.
Shane says they were so close and they came up just short on Sunday. Even though his sister had her husband to help them win, Smackdown proved that in defeat they will not be considered anything less than THE SHOW in WWE. Shane says he is proud of the entire roster. They came with an intensity and grit. It is not just at Survivor Series, he is proud of the roster every night. They bleed blue and they bring it every night.
That is except for two individuals and he wants them to come out now . . . Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens make their way to the ring.
Kevin asks what do they get tonight? Death defying Shane McMahon or Drunk with Power Commissioner Shane McMahon. Kevin says it must be so hard to come out every week with another excuse why you failed. Sami says it must be exhausting. Sami asks Kevin if it is harder to come up with new excuses for failing or man up and apologize when you were wrong.
Kevin says Shane should be on his knees begging them for forgiveness because they can beat anyone. They would have beaten the Shield. They would have beaten Raw's team in a 2 on 5 situation. Either of them could and would beat Brock Lesnar. Kevin tells Shane to be a man and tell them that he is sorry.
Shane says you are speaking to the commissioner tonight. Shane tells Kevin to shut his mouth for the first time. You have no respect for any superstar in WWE, especially the Smackdown roster. Shane says that they have no respect for him. Shane says that they have no respect for anyone in the arena tonight. Sami agrees with all of them.
Shane says he will deliver two words for them.
Kevin says he knows where Shane is going and he says Shane cannot fire him. They are too vaulable. The locker room wants to be like them. Sami says Shane would be a damn fool to do anything to two future WWE Hall of Famers. Kevin says there is no one who does not think that they are the top two superstars in WWE.
Shane calls them delusional. Shane says he will take great pride in saying those two words to Kevin and Sami. How delusional are you to think you are the top two superstars in WWE? Do you realize the entire locker room hates your guts? They have no respect for either of you. Shane calls them the biggest megalomaniacs to step in a WWE ring.
Shane tells Sami and Kevin . . . you're . . .
Daniel Bryan interrupts and he makes his way to the ring. Daniel says that Shane has every right to fire these two, but before you do, Daniel tells Shane to put his personal feelings aside.
Kevin says that Daniel is the voice of reason and Sami says that Daniel is reasonable and will not let Shane . . .
Daniel tells Sami to shut up. He says he has a better temporary solution than to terminate their contracts. Everybody hates their guts. Daniel says he had to send Randy Orton home because he said he would not be responsible for what they did. The New Day are angry at them for what happened last week. Daniel says they will get to prove it tonight when they face the New Day.
Sami says that is bogus and it is not fair because there are three of them.
Daniel tells Sami to shut up. He says everybody hates him and wants to get their hands on them. Tonight, they just might. The entire locker room will be surrounding the ring during your match. If you try to escape, they will gang up on you and throw you back in the ring. Kevin and Sami, not only will you face the New Day, but you will face them in a Lumberjack Match.
