Brock runs into Paul Heyman and The Vision in the backstage area. Heyman starts smiling at Brock. Brock tells Heyman that they should talk as he walks away. Nick Aldis appears. Nick is not having any of the shenanigans. He’s having a contract signing for the main event of Wrestlepalooza, and he just needs two signatures on the contract. What he don’t need is anymore problems. Heyman says that Nick is misreading their intentions. They’re here to broker some peace with The Usos. Nick says that The Usos are in Indianapolis, and Heyman probably knew that. Heyman says that Nick is the greatest general manager he’s ever seen, and they’re here to enjoy the show. Heyman compliments Nick’s suit.
Cole makes his way back to the commentary desk to call the rest of the show. Graves is receiving medical attention. Cole says that he’s never felt as helpless as he did tonight. If tonight is any indication, Cole is not sure if his friend John Cena will have the answers at Wrestlepalooza.

Tiffany Stratton, Nia Jax, Jade Cargill Segment
Nia Jax: You know what I’m sick of? Well, I mean, yeah, I’m sick of being in this disgusting town, Toledo, Ohio, you’re right. Oh, did I hurt your feelings? You know what I’m sick of, is this women’s division. It’s embarrassing that these women continue to call themselves the alpha females. Let’s get one thing clear, I am the alpha female of this division. And it’s definitely not Tiffy, It’s Tiffy Time, It’s Tiffy Time, It’s Tiffy Time. Gosh, she’s annoying. And that’s why, last week, I had to put her in a Tiffy Timeout. Yeah, that’s why she couldn’t make it to the precious NXT Homecoming. And you know what, Jade? Listen, Jade Cargill, if I could trade appearances with anybody in this division, it would be Jade Cargill, I mean, the women looks incredible. But if she could trade wrestling ability with anybody, it would be, because let’s face it, she could use it. Come on, come on, you guys. Listen, she’s great, I mean, she looks fantastic, all the way until she has to step in the ring, and then she gets annihilated by me. Let’s be clear, I’m the most dominant, I’m the alpha, and I will annihilate any storm, any Tiffy Time, any damn time.
Tiffany Stratton: You want to know what everyone is actually sick of? You running your mouth about me. Quit obsessing over me and quit acting like you run this division. Nobody wants you near this title. And as for Jade, she can go ahead and take that cape off, because she’s not a superhero, she’s not here to save anything. And since you two are so committed to acting delusional, I’m committed to showing you guys why I’m the one and only WWE Women’s Champion. And there’s nothing you can do or say about it.
Officials stops Tiffany in her tracks. Jade Cargill lays out security guards.
Nick Aldis: Alright, alright, stop, everybody stop right now. Take another step forward, throw another punch and there will be severe consequences. I know that the three of you want to tear each other apart, and I’m gonna give you the chance to do that, because next week, The WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line in a Triple Threat Match.

Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre Contract Signing
Nick Aldis: Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow night we present, Wrestlepalooza, a landmark night in the history of this company and this industry. And the main event of Wrestlepalooza will be the main event for the Undisputed WWE Championship. At this time, allow me to introduce to you, the challenger, Drew McIntyre.
Cody Rhodes: Before we sign that, question for you, Drew. Do you know what happened on this very day, 15 years ago? You and I, we won the tag team championships, right. Do you know who backstage was talking about that? Nobody. And I think you know why, the world doesn’t revolve around you, it doesn’t revolve around me, your story, my story, it’s not, it’s their story. No, it’s simple, they don’t need to know all the lore. Sometimes they pay their hard earn money, and they just want to watch two guys, two of the best fight. I understand who you are, I get it. In the past, you’ve won the Royal Rumble. In the past, you been WWE Champion. In the past, you slayed The Best. You’re 6’5, you’re 280 pounds, You’re The Scottish Warrior, but lately The Scottish Warrior has just been a keyboard warrior. And you know it, so go ahead, I know you have it on you, pull your phone out. Go ahead, let’s get viral, make a post on social media, get one over on me. Make sure that you, that’s always bitching and moaning and whining, give it all to me right now, because it’s the last time you’re gonna get one over on me. Go ahead, Drew. What’s that suppose to mean?
– Drew shows Cody a tweet that reads: Thank You Cody!!!
Drew McIntyre: It means what it says. Thank you, Cody. All I’ve wanted was a legitimate shot at the WWE Championship, no outside interference, nobody screwing me over. And you’re not gonna let that happen, because you’re the ultimate company guy, you’re a fighting champion. And honestly, you really don’t think for yourself anymore, do you? You always think about the bigger picture, what’s best for the company, the stock prices, the sponsors, your name on the marquee. You’re the corporate champion, that used to be a bad thing. I mean, I kicked your head through an announce table, Cody, and you were out for five weeks. Instead of stomping my brains in, like I would to you, you’re talking me to death. And I understand, you can put personal issues aside, you’re not willing to jeopardize the main event of Wrestlepalooza, tomorrow. I was in your chair, five years ago, I get it. But here’s a reality check, they’re gonna turn on you, they’re gonna move on to the next flavor of the month, and you’re gonna be sitting in my chair telling yourself, my god, Drew was right.
– Cody Rhodes signs the contract.
Cody Rhodes: Okay, say you’re right, and tomorrow night, Wrestlepalooza is a great night for you. And you’re wrong, then guess what happens. Your legacy isn’t all those accomplishments; your legacy isn’t this content creator you’ve become. Your legacy becomes the man who lost to me at our debut ESPN PLE, for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
