We begin with a look at Samoa Joe joining forces with Sheamus and Cesaro to take on The Shield.
We are in Cleveland, Ohio and your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Booker T.
Samoa Joe is in the ring and he says you have all heard of The Shield. One of the most dominant forces in the WWE. Men who beat down everyone in their path. When the Hounds of Justice smelled weakness, they pounce like rabid dogs. Joe says he has seen the Shield up close and he is not impressed. Joe says he is not impressed at the man whose leg he snapped on his first night, Seth Rollins. Joe says he is not impressed with the man who has done everything in his power to avoid him, the human cockroach Dean Ambrose. He is not impressed with the man he put to sleep time after time in the ring, Roman Reigns.
Joe says he has come out to finish what he started with Roman Reigns even though he is facing Dean Ambrose tonight. Joe says he does not want Roman to bring out his lap dogs, just Roman.
Seth and Dean are watching on the monitor and Seth tells Dean to get Roman.
Joe says he can understand the hesitation because he has been told that he is an intimidating figure. Do you remember when he threw you down and choked you out? Joe says he remembers it so well. If it wasn't for that silly bastard Jason Jordan, he would have removed Roman from the planet. Joe says if it wasn't for him, Seth and Dean would be tag team champions. They are not champions because of him and there is nothing you can do about it.
Joe tells Roman if he has a problem with what he says, come out. Joe says he does not need anyone. He does not need Sheamus and Cesaro. If it wasn't for the Shield, you would be nothing. If you have a problem with that, feel free to come to the ring and prove him wrong.
