[HOUR ONE]
-They opened with a recap of last week’s Hell in a Cell match between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio with the closing line by Cole, “How do you stop Roman Reigns?”
-They cut to Paul Heyman and Reigns backstage. Heyman kneeled next to Reigns and said from their hospital beds, Rey and Dominik are acknowledging their Tribal Chief. Reigns stood. In walked Jimmy. Reigns asked where his brother was. Jimmy said he’s “a no-show tonight.” He said he’s called and texted him a hundred times and he finally got a hold of him. Reigns asked what he said. Jimmy said Jey said he’s not coming back. Reigns was disgusted he wouldn’t show up for work. Jimmy said, “I ain’t nobody’s bitch, and tonight I’ve got you,” he said. He said family bonds them. Reigns asked Jimmy if what he’s saying is he’s willing to be his right-hand man. Jimmy hedged on whether he could do what Jey did the way he did it. Reigns took exception and asked if he was saying he couldn’t then. Jimmy re-calibrated and said he could. Reigns told him to prove it.
