She gets no respect week after week but Finn Balor and AJ Styles can get a “this is awesome” chant after gazing in each other’s eyes for 10 minutes. Bliss says fans give out chants like Halloween candy but where is her chant? Is it because she’s not old and doesn’t have a three year old son at home like Mickie?

– Back from the break and out comes WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman. Fans pop.

We see the recent Survivor Series challenge by WWE Champion Jinder Mahal on last week’s SmackDown. Lesnar and Heyman laugh. Heyman does his grand introduction for The Beast. Heyman says someone has a problem with the word undisputed and someone wants to dispute the fact that Lesnar is the undisputed champion of WWE. This same someone is on SmackDown and barely survived the title challenges from Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura. This same person is sitting up at night trying to figure out how he will barely survive the title challenge from AJ Styles. Meanwhile, on the flagship show of RAW, Lesnar has eaten through the best heavyweight division in WWE history. Heyman goes on and says we live in the age of trash talking. Everyone wants to talk trash, hurl insults and not give props where props are due. Everyone wants to run down their opponents, hurl insults at their opponents’ families and brand their opponents losers instead of box office attractions. Heyman goes on and names himself as the best of the trash talkers. Heyman says he doesn’t trash talk Lesnar’s opponents because any man deemed worthy enough to step in the ring and fight Lesnar must be a real man. He talks about not trash talking and praising Bill Goldberg, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman, rightfully so. But you… Jinder Mahal? The make-believe Mahahaharaja. With The Singh Sing Sing-a-long brothers standing behind him, using Heyman’s shtick to introduce Jinder.

Heyman says Jinder is not Lesnar’s equal, contemporary or counterpart on SmackDown. He’s not even a worthy pretender to the throne of being WWE Champion. When they think of WWE Champions they think of Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Brock Lesnar. They don’t think of Jinder, a consolation-prize champion offered to SmackDown when blue brand bosses Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan realized they got the shaft in the Superstar Shake-up. Heyman says don’t think Lesnar is marching into Survivor Series for the battle of brand supremacy because there is no battle for brand supremacy. Heyman says the brand with Lesnar is the #1 brand, the supreme brand, the flagship brand with the #1 champion, the place to be in WWE. Heyman says that’s undisputed and because Jinder disputes this fact, at Survivor Series… Jinder will be going to Suplex City.

Lesnar bounces round as Heyman teases even more bad news for Jinder. Heyman says that’s where Jinder’s night only begins because the last time a SmackDown Superstar stepped into the ring to fight Lesnar they had to stop the match. Everyone was in shock, the locker room was in an uproar, even the RAW locker room because on that night, Lesnar violated every single rule, regulation and moral of the PG Era. Heyman accepts Jinder’s challenge for Survivor Series and fans pop. The challenge is accepted by The Undisputed Beast, The Undisputed Conqueror, The Undisputed #1 Champion in WWE, the reigning & defending WWE Universal Champion – Brock Lesnar. The music hits again and they leave.

– We get stills from the WWE Cruiserweight Title change at TLC last night. Charly Caruso is backstage with Kalisto now for comments on the loss. Kalisto says physically he’s fine but it was his dream to be a champion. It would be different if he lost to someone he respected but not Enzo Amore. This is why he’s invoking his rematch for WWE 205 Live tomorrow. That’s tomorrow but tonight is all about family. Gran Metalik, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann and Mustafa Ali all appear. Kalisto gets them riled up for a piece of Enzo tonight. They do the “lucha!” chant as Graves hypes the 10-man match.
