Kevin Owens' music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Before Kevin can talk, Solo Sikoa's music interrupts and he makes his way to the stage with Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu.
Solo says he is happy the three of them are in the ring at the same time. Before he gets started, he tells Oklahoma City to acknowledge him. Solo says he will acknowledge the fact that Roman gave you his word. You should trust him because you are going to need him. The two men in the ring with you are not going to be any good for you at all. How long have you been trying to take out the Bloodline? When you try with those two men, they have let you down. You can't stop them together and they can't stop them with you. The reason you are going to team up with Roman Reigns is because every time you try to take the Bloodline down with those two men, they have let you down. He asks Cody to acknowledge that.
Kevin says the only thing they need to acknowledge is that no one cares what you have to say. Let's see what happens when they have a tag match tonight.
