Josh Briggs told Je'Von that Taker wasn't there to provide any words of wisdom to him. He also noted how Evans has received several title matches and opportunities, and he thinks it's ok to wait for a rematch instead of demanding one, and that's why Ricky Saints stepped over him to become the number one contender.

When Je'Von tried to speak, Josh Briggs cut him off and told him to put down the mic and listen to him. The Man of Mayhem said that the 21-year-old wants someone to motivate him and made it clear that he was never going to beat Oba Femi. He then kicked him in the face. Briggs then set up a steel chair in the ring and chokeslammed Je'Von onto it. The 21-year-old star looked legitimately hurt as he landed head-first onto the chair.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
