Kofi trolls Titus by saying that if he knew when to call a huddle, he'd still be playing American Football.

The New Day are out. They start talking about the Royal Rumble and how stacked it is. They start talking about "foe vs foe" and "friend vs friend". They then said that if any of them wins, they will all win the Rumble. Titus O' Neil then interferes, much to the frustration of Xavier
