– We get a video package on the broken friendship between Enzo & Big Cass. 

Enzo & Big Cass In-Ring Segment: 

How’s Enzo doing? Not so good. Enzo wants to keep it real but it’s not about him. It’s about the realest guys in the room. Enzo has tried to contact Big Cass all week, but he hasn’t responded. Enzo has done some stupid things. He doesn’t care how stupid he looks, but they need to talk right now, man to man. Big Cass comes down the isle.  Enzo knows that boos hurts Cass because he knows him better than anyone in the world. Big Cass said a lot of things last week and he was right about those things. Enzo isn’t the biggest guy in the world, but he might have the biggest mouth in the world and that mouth may bite off more than it can chew.  They were like brothers and last week, Cass might have broken his heart and his face. They’re brothers and that’s a bond he’ll not let Cass break. Enzo saw the passion and anger in Colin’s eyes. He saw hate and love in Cass eye and they’re family. He needs to focus on the future of his family. He won’t break that bond before they become WWE Tag Team Champions.

Cass says that Enzo doesn’t know when to shut up. He says he has to be honest. After what he did last week, he’s never been so ashamed in his life. Enzo is annoying and loud and he constantly runs his mouth. Cass is not going to change him. They are brothers and in front of the world, he wants to tell his brother that he’s sorry. Cass is sorry for everything he said and did over the last five weeks. Enzo and Big Cass hugs it out like good brothers. Cass says that there’s only one word to describe the people who thought their brotherhood was over with and he’s going to spell it out for everybody. SAWFT!

After the match, Bray Wyatt appears on the titantron screen.  Bray told Rollins last week he took a leap of faith. It seems that Rollins is under the impression that since mankind forgave your transgressions, you walk around with the filth of vanity like a suit of armor. Rollins shills this corporate lingo that people should be like no one, yet you lead these ignorant people to a place of no return. If Rollins believes in redemption he will give it to your true self. Bray will help Rollins and save him. Rollins should be honored because he’ll be cleansed by the flame of a God. Be careful what you wish for because he’s inside your mind. Bray is everywhere. On July 9th, it will be the date of Rollins reclamation. Bray tells Rollins to be true to his true self or he will burn.

Winner: Seth Rollins via Pinfall 

Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe In-Ring Segment: 

Heyman is the advocate for the beast that instills fear in the face of everyone who enters the ring with him, Brock Lesnar. There’s one exception that defies that rule. The fearless Samoa Joe. Joe doesn’t fear Brock Lesnar. Samoa Joe stepped into this ring and pulled a cheap shot on Brock. If Joe wanted to start a fight in the locker room, he would make a cheap shot so everyone would pile on to separate them. Brock was held back and then Joe landed another cheap shot. One would think by now, Samoa Joe would have some fear in his heart for Brock Lesnar.

Samoa Joe remains fearless. Is that impressive? No, it means that Samoa Joe is a Samoan Dumbass. Joe isn’t burdened with great intelligence, but it takes a smart man to know when to fear. It’s time to start fearing Brock Lesnar. It’s time to hit record and it is the moment you will talk about tomorrow. Heyman introduces Brock Lesnar. Samoa Joe attacks Lesnar from behind on the ramp.
