Paul Heyman came out and cut a promo, saying that he wasn’t going to let there be an extreme show in Philadelphia. He said Brock was here and could be cashing in tonight and it would be a spoiler that he’s going to leave with the WWE title or the Universal title. He said to tell that here, he’d have to be a stupid SOB, so you have to ask if he’s telling them the truth or he’s Paul Heyman. Usual good job from Heyman.

Your winner, Kevin Owens!

Owens said that he stands by what he said on Smackdown. He fully expected to get here tonight and get suspended or fired. The truth is, if Shane McMahon hadn’t been in the ring with The Undertaker, that’s probably what would have happened.
