By Richard Trionfo on 2025-06-20 23:00:00

Your announcers are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.

LA Knight walks through the back and to the ring.

Knight wants to talk to ya.  He wants to go back to Money in the Bank and he says that Seth and his boys screwed him.  Knight says he usually lets things slide, but he had to come back and screw one of his guys out of King of the Ring.  Then he got screwed out of King of the Ring and then he screwed the other guy out of King of the Ring.  There is only one way this can go.  He knows where it ends.  Knight says it ends with him and Seth Rollins.  He challenges Seth to a match tonight.

Paul Heyman comes out and he introduces himself and mentions who he is with.  He tells the people that you don't boo Seth's name so he will do it again.  

Knight tells Paul to get to his point and he asks Paul why is he here.

Paul asks to enter the ring and Knight allows him.

Paul says there has been a lot of bad blood between Knight and Seth.  Paul says he is the biggest LA Knight fan in all of WWE.  He says he has been waiting a long time to say "YEAH".  Because of that, Seth has allowed him to say to Knight, as a favor to Paul, it's time for Knight to get the hell out of Grand Rapids because if you don't, something really bad is going to happen to you before the end of this night. 

Paul tells Knight to have a good evening.

Knight mocks Paul's voice breaking and he asks if Paul is threatening him.  Knight says that Paul is a liar and then he leeches on to anyone with buzz.  After Seth, who is next.  Knight says he asked for Seth Rollins, he got Paul Heymen, a Paul Heyman who has been talking tough.  Knight says a man like him would punch a man like you.  Knight says he is not going to do that, yet.  He tells Paul if he can't bring him Seth Rollins, the only thing they can do is LA Knight versus Paul Heyman right now.

Knight says he will turn his back and he will let Paul get in the first shot because if you don't I will mollywop your ass through Grand Rapids.

Paul leaves the ring.  Paul says what he said earlier was not a prediction, it was a spoiler.

Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker make their way up the aisle to join Paul.

Paul tells Bron something and he enters the ring.  Knight punches and kicks Reed and Bron but Bron with a take down and then they punch and kick Knight and send him to the floor.  Reed sends Knight over the ringside barrier.  Bron removes the hood on the announce table but LA Knight gets a chair and he hits Bron and Bronson with it as he returns to the ring.

Paul takes Bron and Bronson to the back.

We are back and Paul tells Bron and Bronson things are in control and in their favor.

Byron Saxton enters and Bron starts to growl but Paul tells him not to attack him.
