A graphic honoring Pat Patterson is on the screen with WWE
superstars, including Vince McMahon and Gerald Brisco on stage.
Kayla Braxton is in the ring as she welcomes everyone to SmackDown.
She introduces the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to the ring
naming his achievements in the WWE. Roman makes his way down to the
ring with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso.
Roman tells Kayla that she forgot an accolade as Heyman jumps in and
concludes the introduction. Kayla says that Roman has become a
commanding figure in the WWE ThunderDome and what happened last
week. We see a clip of last week’s show with Jey going up against
Kevin Owens.
She asks Roman if he fears Kevin. Roman laughs and tells her this is
probably the most viewed thing she has ever been a part of and she
asks him stupid questions. They have someone like Michael Cole who
could have asked him questions but instead they waste it on her.
Next questions.
Kayla asks if he is using Jey as a pawn and manipulating him. Roman
says those are stupid words for stupid people. Does he look like
someone who manipulates? He is a protector, a provider. Jey, one
half of the greatest tag team of his generation, but what has he
done in the past few months? Has she done any research? They give
her a huge opportunity. And she wastes it in her first two
questions.
Heyman cuts in and says that according to his friends at Fox, the
ratings have been as high as they have ever been the entire year
because of Jey Uso being in the main event. Roman is a motivator.
Kevin’s music hits and out comes Kevin Owens. He says last week he
made it clear that he doesn’t fear him and why wait until later
tonight. They can settle this right now. Kevin gets in the ring. Jey
tells him they run this show, they accept, easy. Kevin tells Jey he
wasn’t talking to the buss boy, he was talking to the head of the
table. He asks Roman if not now, TLC. He is the head of the table,
let’s get a table in there, a ladder, chairs. Put the title on the
line and they could settle it like men. Or they fight now.
Roman laughs. He says they don’t back down or fear anyone. They
accept and he’s lucky because if he was the man he used to be, he
would beat him up. But there’s a time and a place for everything.
He’s a gentleman, there’s a lady in the ring. He throws the
microphone and leaves the ring.
Kevin tells Roman that he’s not a gentleman, he’s a bitch.
-Commercial Break-
Jey tells Roman he may have overstepped this time again. Roman tells
him he knows he meant well but there are consequences for everything
he does as Roman walks away.

Kayla is backstage with Kevin Owens and asks him about his match at
TLC. Owens says what bothers him about Roman is that he used to
respect him. He was never the kind of guy to look down on people or
have his own locker room. But not anymore. He doesn’t know if it’s
Heyman but it’s despicable. Owens says he tries to be gracious now
because without them, there’s no him.
In comes Otis as Kevin asks Kayla to leave. Otis tells Kevin that
what he said about Roman is right because Roman doesn’t respect
them.

Sasha and Carmella are in different rooms being interviewed. The
interview is set to start with Carmella but Sasha says she has
something to say. Sasha says Carmella keeps attacking her from
behind, she has her attention. Cole asks Sasha about how Carmella
used to be like her. She used to do it all for the WWE universe and
if they are more alike than she thinks. Sasha laughs.
They have been training together since the Performance Center. Sasha
says Carmella is the first woman to ever win the Money in the Bank.
Sasha says the truth is there’s a reason they have never faced one
on one and she is out of her league. No matter how hard Carmella
tries, she will never be in her league.
Carmella says if she wants to get personal, to get personal.
Carmella says Sasha is jealous. This was Sasha’s dream when she was
a little girl. But then there is her. On a whim, walks into the PC
and she becomes a star. With half the work, she is better than her.
She has held onto the SmackDown Women’s Title longer than all of
Sasha’s reigns combined. She looks at Carmella, she sees every man’s
desire. She will take her title.
Sasha says if Carmella wants an opportunity at the SmackDown Women’s
Championship, she has it at TLC. She has never been in the ring with
a badder itch than her.
