In-Ring Segment: Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman
Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him. Reigns notes that he should be here to talk about Cody Rhodes, the man who won the Royal Rumble. Rhodes is someone who deserves his attention. But no, the idiots in the crowd are forcing him to have to live in the past. He’ll talk about Sami Zayn. He meant what he said at WarGames. He could look into Zayn’s eyes, and he saw everything he needed to see. He saw the jealousy in Zayn’s eyes. Someone in a hood jumps the barricade and attacks Reigns.
It’s Sami Zayn. Reigns fights back, but Zayn surprises him with a spear. Zayn grabs a chair. Reigns scoots out of the ring. Zayn grabs a mic and says he wants Reigns and the titles. Jimmy and Solo Sikoa attack Zayn from behind. As Zayn is slumped over in the corner Reigns tells Zayn he’s going to give him what he wants. He can have his match at the Elimination Chamber. Reigns wants to destroy Zayn in front of his friends, family, and country.
"You broke up my family and I'm gonna break YOU in front of your entire family." @WWERomanReigns just granted @SamiZayn's wish for a match at #WWEChamber! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/AJ13br2gXI
