In-Ring Segment: Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Jey Uso
Heyman says Reigns asked him to eulogize the career of Daniel Bryan with a ten-bell salute. Heyman tells the timekeeper that they don’t need his help. They can take care of this on their own. Heyman yells ding into a microphone ten times as Reigns chuckles. The WWE Universe showers them with “you suck” chants. Reigns says, unlike Bryan, he’s a man of his word. He did what he said he was going to do. Reigns always gives the people what they want. Reigns gave Bryan what he wanted. Bryan didn’t want to be here. If Bryan wanted to be here all he had to do is acknowledge Reigns. Bryan couldn’t do it, so they got rid of him.
Reigns notes that they have replaced Bryan with someone who will most definitely acknowledge him. The Usos music hits. Jimmy Uso joins the family in the ring. Jimmy and Jey hug. Jimmy daps up Reigns and Heyman as well. Cesaro interrupts. Cesaro asks if he heard Reigns’ correctly. You can never replace Bryan. Cesaro says he doesn’t have time for Reigns tonight. Cesaro is focused on Seth Rollins. Rollins attacks Cesaro from behind. Referees and officials separate Rollins and Cesaro. Teddy Long walks out on the stage and says if Cesaro beats Rollins tonight, he will get a title shot against Reigns at WrestleMania Backlash. Reigns attacks Cesaro from behind. Rollins launches Cesaro into the ring steps. Cesaro’s shoulder is in bad shape.
