MIDDLE CARD PROMO
RAW Superstar AJ Styles proclaims that this is still the house that AJ Styles built when he's cutoff by RAW's Sami Zayn who demands that AJ go back to RAW “where he belongs.”
The new WWE Champion, “The New” Daniel Bryan, interrupts, suggesting that he is willing to defend the WWE Title against The Phenomenal One tonight and actually leave this dump town with the title still around his waist unlike Jeff Hardy. However, Sami doesn't allow it, saying that he's the most deserving of a WWE Championship opportunity because he tells it like it is to the WWE Universe.
Bryan doesn't mind making absolute fools out of AJ and Sami tonight!

You can be forgiven. Wyatt thinks Mercy should be rewarded with a picnic. Miserable looking children are shown sitting on the floor. Wyatt says he will always light the way as long as they let him in. Wyatt then cheerfully waves goodbye.
