Punk is set to open the shoe and it should be newsworthy with the New Day celebration - and it's only 2 hours so what the heck. Presumably, Punk will announce why he joined up with the OG Bloodline last night. Kofi arrives looking like a pimp and Punk shakes Sami and Jey's hands. Punk says he wasn't sure what the future held after the Cell and now, he's back in living color with another potential career-ending War Games match - but with a better idea of where he's going. He wants Mania and he's got ways to go there before Seth interrupts.
They stare down for a bit on opposite sides of the ring and Seth bitches for a bit before Punk says hey, he doesn't care about him now - he's got no belt! Seth and Punk brawl before Jey and Sami break it up. Seth says Jey's family so it makes sense for him to suck up to Roman - but not Sami, HE AIN'T FAMILY! Seth vs. Sami is maybe set up for tonight. Finn and Priest brawl is recapped before he bitches everyone else out and Carlito takes a paycheck for eating an apple - God bless him. Iyo and Kairi are out to face Liv and Racquel. Iyo hits a corner meteora before getting stuck in a tree of a woe by Liv. Insane Elbow gets 2 on Racquel. Tejana bomb ends it for the heels.
Balor and Gunther argue - feels like an SNME match. Women's IC 3-way contender is up with Kai, Shayna, and Katana. Shayna gets the KO knee and gets 2.5 on Kai. Kai detonation kick is met with a counter and the Kirafuda clutch. Detonation kick hits Chance for the win. New Day history package sets up them coming out for the celebration. Pearce says it's their night and Kofi says they couldn't have done it without ALL OF YOU and E gets a big chant on the day of his Players' Tribune piece.
They say it's not the fault of the fans...but...ARE THEY DIVORCING!? NAH IT'S E! THE POWER IS FELT! E says that a decade ago, he and Woods were close to getting fired and Kofi was thinking about retirement and when he was hurt, they were by his bedside making sure he was good. When he was in a neck brace, he held Kofi's kids and Woods spilled tears on his shoulder after winning KOTR. E says that until he's clear, he's going to remind them of who they are. He'll be there every week to hype them up AS THEIR MANAGERS!
Woods says NOW you want to come back? After watching us fight!? You left us! Now Kofi joins in and THEY'RE TURNING ON E! "Yeah you broke your neck? SO WHAT!" Since day one it's been about the brotherhood and E betrayed that - WE BEFORE ME but you broke that! THEY SHAKE ON IT. OH THIS IS GREAT! I expected Kofi to turn based on his gear, but BOTH OF THEM AND ON E!? Perfect!
Dom is out to get murdered by Gunther and somehow goes back and forth with DOMINIK in the chop game. Mule kick low blow by Dom and a frog splash for 2. Gunther wins and then Balor jumps him and double stomps him. Truth vs. Dunne is up and TRUTH CAN STILL DO THE SPLITS! Bitter End finish and Kaiser chats with Bron about taking the IC Title back to Imperium. Wyatt Sicks face Final Testament and Miz next week. Wyatt Sicks vs. Final Testament and Miz Joe - THAT'S GONNA BE INCREDIBLE, WADE! Lead announcers shouldn't spew shit like this - it's why Lance Russell had levels to hyping up cards to keep his credibility up.
Balor demands a shot from Pearce and Pearce says it took an act of Congress to get him to defend the title he has - but he talked to Gunther and he'll face him at SNME! Sami vs. Seth starts with Sami doing flippy rope shit to fuck with him. Blue thunder hits for 2. Helluva is met with a superkick, but Sami avoids a stomp and goes outside. Sami busts out a chair and a fluke cradle wins it for Seth.
DREW JUMPS SAMI AND CLAYMORES HIM!
