The medical staff is still attending to Zayn when Seth Rollins lays him out with a Curb Stomp to end the night.

As soon as Sami turns the offer down, Bron Breakker's music hits, and he walks down to the ring flanked by Paul Heyman.

Sami says Seth is taking advantage of his desire to be WWE World Champion. He adds that Seth is threatening him right now. Sami doesn't back down. He says he can live being a target, but he refuses to be threatened or strong-armed, and he says he will become a world champion someday, and it won't be because of a favor, it will be because he did it the right way.

Seth now warns Sami Zayn that if he stays on RAW and doesn't believe in the new regime, bad things will happen to him.

Seth says he can count on one hand how many true friends he's made in wrestling over the years, and Sami is one of them. He says that he called Sami for advice when he had just become a new father, and he'd forever be grateful for that. Seth now advises Sami Zayn to take the pass and move to SmackDown.

Seth tells Sami that he's putting him in a very tough spot, and Rollins says he doesn't want anything bad to happen to Sami. Seth says he expected to get the same respect from Sami that Sami gave to Jey Uso last week. Rollins adds that he knows his alliance with Bron Breakker and Heyman is the future of WWE. He adds that it hurts him that Sami doesn't believe in him.

Seth Rollins is out next. He wants Sami to make a decision and come down to the ring. Sami joins Seth in the ring. No Paul Heyman or Bron Breakker in the ring area for the moment.
