Brock Lesnar & Sami Zayn Segment 

Brock Lesnar: So you’ve caught on that my suspension has been lifted. I’m here tonight for one reason and one reason only, the Universal Championship. Now, you may have asked yourself, how exactly I got my suspension lifted?

Sami Zayn: Hey, wait. Brock Lesnar, oh, man, this is so great. Finally, at long last, our paths are crossing. You know, I feel like it’s been a long time coming. I feel like in some many ways, our careers have been so parallel. Well, minus a couple UFC Heavyweight Championships and a couple of WrestleMania main events. But besides that, there are a lot of similarities.

Could you give me a second, I’m trying to talk to Brock. We have a lot in common, we really do. We are two Canadian alpha males, just doing their thing, you know. And, really, look, no disrespect, no funny business, I’m just here to tell you, man to man, I’m a fan. I’m a fan. I respect your body of work. This look you got going on, I love it. This topknot thing, you should have done it years ago.

Brock Lesnar: Shut up. I’m confused. I haven’t the slightest idea of who the hell you are. Pardon my ignorance. I’m sorry. You’re a fan? You’re a fan of me?

Sami Zayn: I’m a lot of things. Brock, I’m the master strategist.

Brock Lesnar: Shut up. Let me tell you something. You got a lot of balls coming out here interrupting me. You see, I live in Saskatchewan. I am from Canada. I hunt things in Saskatchewan. I kill things in Saskatchewan. I eat things in Saskatchewan. Now tell me, who the hell you are and why I haven’t ripped your head off?

Sami Zayn: That’s a valid question. That is a valid question, and it deserves an answer. I will give it to you. I am the elder statesman of SmackDown. I’m the locker room leader. Most importantly, I am the number one contender for the Universal Championship. Yeah. Against all odds, I won a battle royal against 20 other men. I’m next in line to take on Roman Reigns.

Brock Lesnar: Let me get this straight. I get suspended, and you become the number one contender?

Sami Zayn: I guess it is kind of funny, right? Maybe not a knee slapper. It’s good. Yes, yes, to answer your question, Brock, listen, I am the number one contender. Once I defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Day One, I am happy to roll out the red carpet.

Brock Lesnar: At Day One? You are going to wrestle Roman Reigns at Day One?

Brock convinces Zayn to fight Roman Reigns tonight to close the segment.

Charlotte Flair & Toni Storm Segment 

Charlotte Flair: San Antonio, Texas. Wow, that feisty Toni Storm had a lot to say. I don’t know where to begin. Actually, you know what? I do. We can all agree that the only way to get noticed in this women’s division is by challenging Charlotte Flair. The most decorated woman in sports entertainment history. So whether that’s bringing up my name every five seconds in an interview or begging for a title opportunity, I know exactly what Toni Storm is doing. Number one doesn’t talk about number two, six or ten. Even acknowledging Toni feels like I’m giving her too much credit. You know what Toni Storm should be doing? She should be thanking me. I did her a favor last week.

Toni Storm was the talk of the town because Charlotte Flair smashed not one but two pies in her face. You’re welcome. I mean, I thought it was funny. I know all of you thought it was funny. I know everyone at home laughing because they thought it was funny. No? Here’s the thing, Toni cna shower off the pie. But she cannot rinse the stink of embarrassment off of her. If it was that easy to embarrass Toni Storm with a pie, imagine what I could do to her in this ring. So we all know I’m about uplifting the other women in the locker room. But what I said to Toni Storm about not being on my level, it wasn’t mean. It wasn’t conniving. It’s simply a fact. One plus one equals two. Toni Storm demanding a title opportunity, it doesn’t add up. So I came all the way out here to show my respect to Toni to let her know I considered her challenge. You want to know what the answer is? No.

Toni Storm smashed a pie into Charlotte’s face on the ramp way to close the segment.

– Ricochet Vignette.
