Owens says he can tell that Rollins is lying because his lips are moving, and then the AOP comes out to interrupt. The AOP get on the mic and say something in a foreign language, and then they challenge Owens and Rollins to a tag match tonight.

Lana says Rusev is a danger to everyone, and if he shows up today he's going to jail for a long time. Owens interrupts and says he's never heard someone talk so much yet say so little. Owens says Lana thinks she's so important and beautiful, but that she's a repulsive person. Lana talks some trash to Owens, then says that her boyfriend Lashley is going to finish him.
