Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu, Nick Aldis Segment
Solo Sikoa: Boston, The MFT’s are in the building. And to remind everybody that we run SmackDown. And to anybody who doesn’t like it, too bad. Last week, Sami Zayn came out here, tried to show up on SmackDown, uh-uh. Guess what? We showed up on Raw, and what happened? We stomped his ass out. So, Sami Zayn, stomped out. Jimmy Uso, stomped out. Oh, and The Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu, stomped out. And if there’s anybody in the back who wants to come out here…
– Sami Zayn makes his way down to the ring.
Sami Zayn: Take it down a notch, guys, listen, I’m just here to talk, alright? Can we talk?
Solo Sikoa: Yeah, sure. Come in the ring, Sami, the floor is all yours.
Sami Zayn: Come on, you want to talk or not?
– The MFT’s exit the ring.
Sami Zayn: Look, this past Monday, I think everybody has heard me talk, for weeks, for months, about becoming a World Champion, that’s all I’ve been talking about. This past Monday, if I had beaten Rusev, there’s a very real possibility that I could’ve been fighting for the World Championship at Clash In Paris, but now that’s not happening, okay. Now, when that happens, Solo, I was furious, okay, I was furious, but I felt something, too. I felt liberated, because I’ve been talking so much about becoming a World Champion, and it had to be now, now, now. I started putting all this pressure, like, it had to happen now, then it stopped me from accomplishing anything else in WWE. I was spinning my wheels. And at least now that’s away from me, I can kind of go back to doing other things, other things I set out to do. So, I guess this is me saying, thank you. That’s the thing, Solo, now it made me realize there’s so many other things in WWE that I haven’t done yet, so many other things that I want to accomplish. Here’s a fun fact, besides the World Championship, there is one other title that I have never held in WWE. And that is the United States Championship. Yeah.
Solo Sikoa: Well, guess what, Sami, you’re not gonna hold it anytime soon, okay. So, you can use those big ass eyeballs and take a look all you want. You know what, Sami, you don’t even go to SmackDown, you are on Raw, so you’re never gonna hold this championship. As a matter of fact, get the hell out of my ring, get the hell off my show, I never want to see you again.
Sami Zayn: Actually, Solo, that’s what I really came out here to tell you. See, as of tonight, I am officially on SmackDown. You took something away from me, and now I am going to take something away from you. I am coming for the United States Championship, and I am coming for you.

Nick Aldis: No, no, no, Solo, that is no way to welcome the newest member of the SmackDown Roster. Sami Zayn, welcome to the blue brand. I’m please to inform you that you’ll be in the main event, right here in Beantown. A 6-Man Tag Team Match, any three of you MFT’s, faces Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu.

Drew McIntyre Promo
Drew McIntyre: People have been asking me all week, why did you do what you did, Drew? Why did you Claymore Cody’s head right through that announce table? It was so violent, I think we need to see it again. Let’s see it again, play the clip. Now, listen closely, I did not attack Cody Rhodes. I know, Drew, we just watched the clip, we were watching last week, but your eyes are lying to you. As usual, I will explain it to you in a second. But first of all, Joe, where’s the medical update? What’s going on with Cody? It’s been a week now. There’s no update, that’s so weird, we always provide an update after a week. Can somebody be hiding it? Can management be hiding it because what I did to their golden boy? They don’t know how long he’s going to be out for, and it’s all Drew McIntyre’s fault. Here’s the thing, people think that I hate, I don’t hate Cody, I feel sorry for Cody. He cares about your cheers so much, he needs that validation from all of you.
He cares what management think about him. He needs that pat on the back, that atta boy, great job. And the reason I know all of that is because I was Cody, five years ago. I was in his position, and then I evolved. I realized, when we retire, when we’re gone, y’all forget about us, and you move on. You got to get yours while you can, and I want that WWE Title. I’ve been screwed out more times than I can count. I deserve it, I have earned it. I want it for me, I want it for my family, I want it for that paycheck. Cody Rhodes, he needs the WWE Championship. Who is Cody without his story? Who is Cody without the title? He’s nobody, and he knows it, and that’s why he did what he did last week. So, let’s bring it full circle, ladies and gentlemen. I did not attack Cody Rhodes last week, he attacked me. You don’t remember?
Let me explain, the AA happened right here, I broke up the pinfall, Cody knocked me to the floor. In fact, let’s go through the crime scene, right now. I was down here when the disqualification happened. The match was legally over, and Cody put my face right into this post, then he went over to the announce table, and he started clearing it off. Why would he do that, Wade? Did he want to talk? Fashion me a fine cuisine? He was going to put my arse through the table, and take me out, so I defended myself. And why would he do that? Maybe because I told him to his face, I want you to beat Cena, then I’m going to be the one to take the title off of you, Cody. You made the first move, and your biggest mistake was, Cody Rhodes is so good at pissing people off, Drew McIntyre is so good in taking people out. So, I am not the bad guy, but if you provoke me, I will do very, very violent things. If you provoke me, I’m the real nightmare. Get well soon.
