We begin with a look back at last week's match between Xavier Woods and Roman Reigns when Xavier Woods won, but Roman took the crown.
Your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
The Usos are in the ring and there is a throne and scepter waiting for someone.
Jimmy says the Tribal Chief will be out in a minute and they have a surprise for him. Jimmy tells Big E that they sent a message to him on Raw. Jey says they are going to do the same to RK-Bro on Sunday. Jey says the voices are saying they are the Ones. Tonight, you are going to see who runs WWE. You are going to see the One true king. The Head of the Table, the Tribal Chief, and the Tribal King Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he uses his full time to walk to the ring as only Roman Reigns can. Roman is joined by Paul Heyman.
Paul tells Roman he is overwhelmed with emotion. He says this has been in the works for you all week. There is no one in the history of WWE that deserves to be crowned the King as much as the Head of the Table, the Tribal Chief, the Tribal King Roman Reigns. Paul says he knows in his heart that everyone here tonight will agree with him that the distinction of king doesn't belong to Xavier Woods. It sure as hell will never belong to Brock Lesnar. It will never belong to anyone like Big E, who will be smashed on Sunday by Roman Reigns.
Roman holds out his hand and he is given the mic by Paul.
Roman asks whose idea was this.
Paul says it was Jimmy and Jey's idea. The Usos point at Paul.
Roman says this has to be a joke. He says you don't think he cares about this or needs this to be acknowledged. He put in the hard work and he tells Hartford to acknowledge him. The only reason I took this crown last week is because I can.
Xavier Woods' music plays and he makes his way to the stage and he does not have his marching band jacket.
Xavier says that everything that Roman has in the ring belong to him. Those things do not make a king. What makes a king is knowing that you are doing good for the WWE Universe. If you were a king based on what you did last week, you would have looked at me in the eyes to settle this. That is not your MO. Let's sweeten the pot. I challenge you to come out without the Wet Bandits and you look at me face to face and we can handle it. I can show you what a real king is made of.
Roman wants to know if Xavier doesn't care about the things in the ring.
Jey throws down the cape and Roman stands on it.
Woods says clothes don't make the man.
Roman has Jey break the scepter and Roman asks him if he is sure.
Jimmy and Jey destroy the throne and throw it to the floor.
Roman says Woods does not look happy.
Jey takes the crown but Roman asks for it. Roman says he will ask Woods one more time if this crown doesn't mean anything to him. Roman is about to stomp on the crown but Woods gets to the ring and Jimmy and Jey attack Woods and they kick him in the corner.
Roman says he is the only king around here. He does not need props. He is the one and Roman stomps on the crown.
We take a look at how Sami Zayn got removed from the Smackdown Elimination Team.
Who will be the final member of the Smackdown team.
Xavier Woods collapses in the back and Kayla Braxton asks what is next. Woods says he goes to the ring tonight to challenge Roman. The Roman Empire was not built in a day, but it will fall tonight.
