You are the one legged man who won at WrestleMania. I'm the one armed man who became the very first Universal Champion. You remember that right? When my arm was hanging from my body and I still beat you." Balor wants a Universal Championship match and states that when it comes to Brock Lesnar, "The line starts here."

- Cesaro & Sheamus make their way to the ring. Sheamus speaks first, "Do you know how good it feels to finally be set free? For the last few months I've been living in fog of delusion. I've never liked any of you. From day one you've all treated me like a red headed step child. Cesaro believed that with your support, we could go places we've never been. I believed you Cesaro right until WrestleMania. At the last moment the Hardy Boyz were added to our match and they stole our moment." Cesaro speaks next, "These people felt a rush of nostalgia and they loved it just like they do every single time some shiny new trinket shows up. You people would rather live in the past or think about the future then appreciate the present that is standing right here in front of you. Last night Sheamus and I proved that the Hardys are just a novelty act that don't belong in the same ring as us." Sheamus says, "Last night we showed them that this is the WWE that belongs to Sheamus and Cesaro." The Hardy Boyz then make their way to the ramp.

Angle states that the two are not done with each other. Angle is then interrupted by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt introduces himself to Angle and offers a handshake. Wyatt states, "I mean you no harm. I have not come for destruction...not yet. I've come as a savior. Randy Orton will forever be trapped inside my House of Horrors as he suffers for his sins; but, with his ashes I write something new on RAW. I am reborn, rising from the ashes like an angel. I hear your cries for salvation. I can fix you. There is an evil all around us. It's infecting you with a poison that you are too numb to feel. I hold the cure. You need me Mr. Angle. Are you going to allow me to do my work? Are you going to walk by my side or are you going to stand in my way?" Angle tells Wyatt, "This is my show!"
