Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed showed up to interrupt and said that they would make Jey and his family pay for Roman Reigns' attack on Paul Heyman.

She said that she was doing well mentally during her hiatus, but couldn't sit back idly after seeing Becky Lynch attack her husband, CM Punk. Lynch came out and said that she was the greatest female wrestler of all time, not AJ Lee.

The crowd booed Becky, and The Man said that AJ didn't deserve to hold the title. AJ made fun of Becky and laid the title down in the ring for Lynch to get it. Becky hesitated, and the crowd called her "chicken" before she called Seth Rollins out to join her.

Seth Rollins made his way out to the ringside and said that AJ should give the title back. AJ Lee said that Becky should come to the ring and get it, or they could agree to a tag match with her and CM Punk.

Ad

Rollins said that he's the World Heavyweight Champ and that he runs things, which means that AJ can't call the shots. Rollins tried to get the title belt himself before CM Punk came in and tried to hit the GTS on him.

Rollins escaped and immediately accepted the tag match for Wrestlepalooza. AJ tossed Becky's title out of the ring, and Becky picked it up before the two couples stared each other down from across the ring.
