AJ
Styles talks about defeating Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania to
retain the WWE Championship several months ago which preceded an
incident where Jeff Hardy ran in and tried to ruin AJ's moment. “The
Phenomenal One” has been so focused on the WWE Championship that
Jeff has gone this long without paying for it.
Jeff
Hardy comes out and stands on business, saying that he was making his
WrestleMania moment by taking it from someone else and who better
than the WWE Champion? And Jeff would ruin AJ's moment again tonight!

IN
THE BOILER ROOM
KANE: "Samoa Joe, you've made
a grave mistake signing that contract to face the Devil's Favorite
Demon to a rematch, with the WWE Championship on the line at Hell in
a Cell. That title you hold, it's merely on loan from the fires of
hell itself."
[Kane's
voice reverberates through the eerie surroundings, his eyes gleaming
with intensity as he addresses the camera.]
KANE:
"This Sunday, the inferno will rage once more and it will bear
witness to our clash. You see, Joe, I've been to hell and back. I've
stared into the abyss, and it stared back into me. But I emerged
stronger, more relentless than ever before."
[He
strides forward, his footsteps echoing in the cavernous space.]
KANE:
"You like your mind games, Joe. You think your psychological
warfare can break me? You underestimate the depths of my darkness.
Your mind games are like whispers in a hurricane, futile against the
fury that burns within me. You may have taken my championship, but
mark my words, it was but a temporary setback."
[His
voice crescendos, a primal roar echoing off the walls.]
KANE:
"This Sunday at Hell in a Cell, there will be no escape, no
sanctuary from the torment I shall unleash upon you. There will be no
mercy, no reprieve. You will feel the flames of hell nipping at your
soul as I reclaim what is mine. Prepare yourself, for you will soon
realize that in the end, it is not mind games that decide the victor,
but sheer, unbridled power. And in that realm, I am unmatched.
Welcome to hell, Joe."
[The
camera slowly fades to black as Kane's laughter fills the air,
leaving a chilling aura lingering in its wake.]
