Seth Rollins and The Vision kicked off WWE RAW. Paul Heyman hyped the crew up before mocking the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and making some bad shoe-related puns like Shoe-la-Fala and Shoe-nami.

Jey added that he was going to get his revenge on Rollins at Clash in Paris, and Bron Breakker tried to attack him, but Rollins and Heyman stopped him. Instead, Heyman decided to book a No Disqualification match, talking about legends like Sabu, Tommy Dreamer, and The Dudley Boyz, before Jey agreed to it.
