HOUR ONE
- Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring with Intercontinental Championship in tow. There is a mixed reaction from the crowd, boos and cheers (mostly boos). Roman Reigns calls out Samoa Joe for all his talk, saying Joe wasn't ready for him last week, despite it all. He claims to have been motivated last week for Dean Ambrose and says, "If you mess with one member of the SHIELD, you mess with all of us." Reigns is the interrupted by none other than Jason Jordan. Jordan says that he had goosebumps last week watching Reigns' match and feels like he was a part of something meaningful and then continues saying if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. Jordan continues to praise Reigns and offers thanks; but, is interrupted by Seth Rollins. Rollins tells Jordan that he needs to work on his timing and that he is stepping on Roman's moment. Roman tells Jason Jordan, "Enough with this we stuff." Jordan replies, "We are all champions. We may not quite be the SHIELD; but, we may be the most dominant 3-man group in the WWE." Jordan is then interrupted by the Balor Club, who take exception to Jordan's comments. The trio then make their way to the ring claiming that 2018 will be the Year of the Balor Club. Jordan says that 2018 will be the Year of the Champions Club. Gallows calls Jordan a nerd and a fight nearly ensues; however, Reigns and Rollins hold Jordan back. They are then all interrupted by Kurt Angle who schedules a 6-Man for tonight's main event.

Eventually Miz makes them, "shut up and sit down." The Miz continues to talk up his 2017; however, he still remembers being attacked by the SHIELD.
