HOUR TWO
- Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring and interrupts Elias, who is promoting his new album with a song. Strowman takes a moment to acknowledge all the women in the back, especially his Mixed Match Challenge partner Alexa Bliss. Wyatt talks about tonight's match between Reigns & Lashley; but, says it doesn't matter who wins because he has the Money in the Bank briefcase. He is then interrupted by Kevin Owens, who makes his way to the entrance ramp all tapped up. Owens calls Strowman callous for talking about the Universal Championship after what he did to him at Extreme Rules. Owens said, "When I tried to befriend you it was for my 10 year old son who thought that if I could befriend you maybe he could replace Nicholas and become tag team champions with you; but, you crushed his dream." Owens said that instead Strowman crushed his spine and instilled fear in his children. He accuses Strowman of trying to take everything away from him and vows to take everything away from Strowman. Owens is then interrupted by Constable Corbin who tells Strowman that what he did at Extreme Rules was legal; but, morally reprehensible. Corbin introduces someone that will help Strowman to control his temper: Jinder Mahal. Mahal attempts to help Corbin find his calm and nirvana. Mahal has been appointed by Corbin and Stephanie McMahon to help Strowman along on his journey of inner piece. He attempts to lead Strowman through some yoga chants. Strowman then has some chants of his own, "Get these hands." Strowman then attacks Mahal and his companion Sunil Singh.
