Kurt Angle’s music plays but it is interrupted by Dolph’s record scratch and Drew McIntyre.
Drew says when he first showed up on Raw, he said he would take over. Do you believe him now? First, he broke the Shield and he broke Kurt Angle. Last week, Kurt went into their match an Olympic Gold Medalist, a Hall of Famer, a National Treasure, and an Icon. After the match, he was nothing more than an embarrassment. Drew says Kurt gave him everything, but when he looked in Kurt’s eyes, he saw Kurt’s will to win fading. Kurt realized he was in the ring with a superior opponent. Drew says that he saw Kurt crying.
He was crying. Drew says he has never been more disgusted in his entire life. He was more than happy to put Kurt down and beat him with his own ankle lock. Drew says he has worked eighteen years for this moment. He has sacrificed more than anyone. He tells everyone to look into his eyes. Drew says that Raw is his show and he will mold it in his image. There is no more room for weakness or nostalgia acts.
Finn Balor interrupts and makes his way to the ring.
Drew says he has to hand it to Balor because he has a lot of guts to come out after what he did last week.
Balor says that what Drew was saying was too much. You crossed the line last week. You could have just beaten Kurt.
Drew asks Finn if he offended Finn or Kurt. Drew tells Finn that dignity is not a right reserved for everybody. He could have done so much worse to Kurt. You are angry that he kicked your head off last week that he was going to help Finn against Bobby Lashley for European pride. There are too many people who care about their feelings. He tells Finn to turn around and go back up that aisle and cry to his Balor Club.
Finn says he has dealt with bullies his entire life. Finn suggests that they have a match right here and right now.
Drew says he doesn’t know what is more fragile. Your feelings or your body, but if you want a match, you’ve got a match. It is not against him. You are going to have a match against the man who is the true Best in the World . . . Dolph Ziggler. If you can defeat somebody like Dolph, Drew says maybe he will lower himself to Finn’s level.
