Before our opening match, Jey Uso has something to say.

He welcomes everyone to Raw.  He says he got Yeet back and he is excited about that.  He says he is excited about Punk being in the building.  He decides if he wants to sign with Raw or not.  He asks the crowd if they want to see Punk sign with Raw.  Jey says he lost one of his dogs last week when Sami Zayn got hurt and he tells him to get well soon.  Jey says it was at the hands of Drew McIntyre.  He came after Sami, and then him and Seth after their match.  Drew isn't trying to be honest.  He says Drew is two faced and tonight they go face to face in the ring.

Drew's music interrupts and he comes out but he does not have his sword, he has a microphone.

Drew says enough of the arse kissing Jey.  Isn't the locker room in enough of a state with you in it.  He tells Adam Pearce to let him go.  He tells Nick Aldis to take CM Punk because he will destroy the locker room from the inside out.  He has traveled with Punk and he knows how it will end.  Drew says Seth got what he deserved because he made it personal.  Drew says he might have had a little to do with why Sami is home.  You did talk about his family a bit too much.  Drew says Sami has one good leg left.  Drew tells Jey that is what an apology sounds like.

Drew says he is not wrong.  Drew asks if someone hurt a family member, would you want revenge?  What if they never apologized.  He wants to know who would want to get revenge on him  Drew says for a few of you, the truth will set you free.  Drew mentions a fan and calls him a coward.  You come out here with your fake arse apology, use a fake word, and then do some gesture.
