– Elias is in the ring to open up this week’s broadcast. Elias trashes the L.A. fans, and says the people in L.A. are the only thing more toxic than the air pollution. Elias seems to think that Baron Corbin chose him as the special guest ref for Corbin’s Universal Title match against Seth Rollins. Rollins then hits the ring and nails Elias from behind with a steel chair. Rollins gets on the mic and says after everything he’s been through with Brock Lesnar, he is done playing games. Rollins says if anyone sides with Baron Corbin, they’re going to have to deal with Rollins, so they should choose wisely if they want to help Corbin or not.

Slater walks out, then we see him call his wife on the phone to give her the news. Drew walks out of the room and tells Heath he’s sorry about that and it kills him to see Heath like this. Drew says he’s known Heath for a long time and knows his family, and he wants to help him out. Drew takes a wad of cash out of his pocket and Heath says he can’t accept it.

EC3 comes out to the stage, but before he can walk down the ramp, Seth Rollins comes out and nails him with a chair then leaves. The New Day interrupts next. Sami says he looked at the sheet and The New Day weren’t the wild cards tonight, so they should leave the building right now. Kofi says hes the WWE Champion and he goes where he wants when he wants. They exchange words until Corbin challenges them to a six-man tag match right now. Big E picks up the unconscious EC3 on the stage and nods his head “yes” that he can officiate this match.
