In the backstage area: John Cena meets up with his tag team partner tonight (and MITB competitor) Kane. Cena asks Kane if there's going to be any problems between them tonight and if they're going to be okay. Kane eases Cena's wariness as Cena then asks if Kane is going to be obsessed with making John “Embrace the Hate”.

Kane says that was a dark time in his career but it's a place where he thrives and tonight John Cena can feel free to embrace hustle, loyalty and respect but “The Big Red Machine” is going to show John Cena what “Embracing the Hate” has always been about when he chokeslams Aiden English and Dolph Ziggler straight to hell tonight.
