Roman Reigns & Kurt Angle In-Ring Segment: 

Reigns got robbed. This time it wasn’t by WWE Management, it was by Jinder Mahal. If Jinder wants to be more relevant than he has ever been in his career, he should come to The Big Dog’s yard and face him like a real man. Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring. Angle says that Jinder will not be coming out. When did Angle start talking for Jinder? Angle speaks for WWE Management.

When Jinder was denied the opportunity to qualify for Money in the Bank Ladder Match, he was acting emotionally and he was wrong. Angle should’ve been thinking logically because that’s what’s best for business. Jinder is a former WWE Champion and he’ll get an opportunity to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match tonight.

Reigns wants Angle to make that match a Fatal Four Way. That will not happen because Reigns won’t have any more opportunities. Angle knows that Reigns is in a rough spot. Reigns is not mad at Angle because he has a family to support. Reigns will do what he has to do.
