Your announcers are Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore.
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
He says one of his roles is to announce when the broadcast has to change. He says he was informed that Stephanie Vaquer is not medically cleared to compete. Becky Lynch is here and she will face Liv Morgan for the Women’s Championship.
Sami Zayn comes out and interrupts Adam Pearce.
Sami says you flew him here to be on Raw to promote the show and Crown Jewel. He saw the card and he isn’t listed. You could have gotten Roman Reigns to come out because it is his show. Sami says he will not come out and complain like everyone else about Roman’s part-time schedule.
Sami says that Roman looked at his schedule and decided to skip Fresno. Roman deserved it and he says he wishes he did too. Sami is invoking his time and he tells Pearce to get out of the ring because he has something to get off his chest.
Sami responds to the “Sami Sucks” chants. Sami says what is crazy is that you could be a Wrestlemania main eventer, a grand slam champion, the current WWE Champion and still be the most underrated wrestler in the world. Sami says he gave you guys too much credit. He thought you could identify greatness when it stands in front of you. You need to be spoon fed who is great. That is what happened with Trick Williams. People like CM Punk have to tell you that he is the best in the world and you lap it up. You have guys like Roman who come out and demand that you acknowledge them. You do it because you want to do it.
Sami says he could brag about a lot and he does not. No one in business has done more with less than him. No one has walked through miles of crap and came out clean like him. No one has been buried so far beneath the dirt and came out like he did. Sami says he dug deeper and deeper until he struck gold. Sami says he could brag about that, but he won’t. Sami says the Bloodline was never as good until he came around. That is a fact. He took the business to new heights. He made this company millions of dollars. You are watching on Netflix because of him. All of these executives will thank Roman, but they should be thanking him.
Sami says he can brag about being the most versaitle and if your name isn’t Shawn, Eddie, or Kurt, you don’t belong in the conversation. He tells the people maybe they should acknowledge him.
Sami says if Roman was wrestling any other champion, he would not be washing his time. Roman is thinking about 946. Roman acknowledges the threat that he is. The disrespect he is getting from everyone else and the fans is a problem. He says Penta is talking about him now. Before Money in the Bank, Je’Von Evans came out and confronted him.
Now that it is after Money in the Bank, Je’Von interrupts again.
Je’Von welcomes Sami to Raw and tells him to shut up. He says people are coming for him because he has the title. Evans says since you said his name, he came out and he wants Sami to say what he has to sa to his face.
Sami tells Evans he is going to say it as respectflully as he can, even if Evans does not deserve the respect. Sami says he is a good guy. Sami says there is no world in which you should be interrupting him. Not now, not ever. He asks Evans if he understands.
Evans says let’s talk crazy. Do you think yo are the man? You trying to be one of the best here. Evans says Sami is the best because he has a title.
Sami says this is not respect.
Evans says he wants to talk disrespecfully. You are trying to be one of the best, Evans says he is trying to be the best. Evans says he has something to say and he tells Sami maybe he should stop talking before he gives you something to talk about. Evans says that Roman is right. Maybe you won’t be the champion at Crown Jewel. Evans says he would love to face Roman at Crown Jewel.
Sami says that Evans reminds him a lot of Sami. You are not close to being in his orbit. Come back in five to eight years and you will be half as good as he is. Until then, you don’t get to look him in the eye.
Sami leaves the ring.
Adam comes back out and he asks Sami where is he going. You deserve the time and the spotlight and the accolades. Sami deserves all of our respect. You will get to earn some respect against Je’Von Evans. The match is for the Undisputed Championship, and it is next.
