Joe tells Kofi that if he shakes his hand, he would guarantee his safety till Extreme Rules. Kofi doesn't take kindly to this and replies emphatically with a Trouble In Paradise.

Kofi addresses Joe and says it's sad to see what he had become - from showing no fear he had gone to sneak attacks.

Joe tells Kayla Braxton to leave the ring almost as soon as he enters, in the interest of avoiding collateral damage. Joe then addresses Kofi and tells him he recognizes a hustler when he sees one and accuses him of using people.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Samoa Joe go face to face ahead of Extreme Rules and it's up next.

The topic of discussion on Moment of Bliss goes back to the same thing - why Bayley was facing Nikki Cross and was instead facing Alexa Bliss. This leads to Bayley vs Nikki Cross once again and that's going to be next.

A Moment of Bliss is up next and this special episode will be hosted by Nikki Cross. Her guest tonight will be the woman she beat last week on SmackDown - Bayley.

Neither KO nor Ziggler look happy after Shane's announcement as a disgruntled KO leaves the arena.

For some reason, Shane books KO and Dolph Ziggler as a tag-team to face Heavy Machinery later in the night.

Dolph Ziggler's music hits and once again he whines about how he deserves to be WWE Champion while according to him, Kevin Owens looks like he should enter a hotdog eating competition.

Owens shows more footage from RAW, this time of Shane and McIntyre running after the Undertaker's gong hit. Shane doesn't appreciate KO's questions and he and McIntyre have head enough.
