The New Day Celebration 

Big E: Man, you’ll are the best, I swear. Now, today is not November 25th, but I am here to give thanks. Thanks to all of you who chanted, New Day Rocks. And even those of you who once chanted, New Day Sucks, I forgive you, it’s okay. I’m thankful for everyone who supported me as I climbed that ladder and grabbed that Money In The Bank Contract. And I am beyond grateful for all of you who lost your minds when I became your new WWE Champion.

I’m grateful for all of you below the heavens and one incredible friend above. But tonight we’re going to have cut this celebration, just a little bit short, because we got town business. And that business is with the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos. And their little friend, their cousin, The Tribal Chief, The Head Of The Table, Roman Reigns. But Raw is our show. And tonight we send The Bloodline packing. And do you know why? Because New Day Rocks!
