Charly Caruso is in the crowd taking questions from fans. The first fan asks when is Sami’s retirement date, and Sami asks the fan if his father and mother are related, since they are in Kansas City. The second question is from a little kid who asks if he misses his team in the Mixed Match Challenge. Sami asks where her parents are, and says their kid has no manners and her parents should be ashamed. Sami asks if she’s asking about Becky, or if she’s really asking about Seth Rollins. The next fan asks what it’s like when Braun Strowman destroys him, and Sami says he wants to jump over the barricade and beat up the fan, but he won’t because they’re in America and he would get sued. Sami says since the fan his American his healthcare probably sucks. Sami complains about the quality of the questions. The next fan asks why Sami hasn’t won the Universal Championship yet.

Rollins says he should be in a good mood for beating the Phenomenal One AJ Styles last night, but instead he’s out here looking at Brock and his briefcase. Rollins says he wants to be the champion that Brock never had the guts to be. Rollins tells Brock to be a man right now and cash the contract in tonight, and lets get it on for the Universal Title right now. Heyman says no, and Rollins has to wait until Brock feels like cashing it in. Heyman says Rollins will have to wait like he did for 7 hours at WrestleMania because his girlfriend was the main event. Rollins and Lesnar come nose to nose. Heyman says Rollins might not even be worthy of facing Lesnar, and maybe Lesnar will cash in his contract against Kofi Kingston over on SmackDown. Kofi’s music hits, and the WWE Champion comes out to the ring to interrupt. Kofi says he’s not trying to steal Rollins’ thunder, but Kofi wants to establish his own legacy and beat the best. Kofi congratulates Brock on becoming Mr. Money In The Bank, and tells Brock to cash the contract in on him. Heyman says it looks like Brock has his pick of the two Champions. Heyman says Brock and his contract aren’t going anywhere, and that he heard Seth and Kofi are scheduled to compete later, so stay tuned. Heyman drops the mic and heads to the back with Lesnar.
