Randy Orton comes to the ring and talks about getting Seth Rollins back and winning the title, but Roman Reigns cuts him off and says he’s winning. Orton says he’s not just going to watch Reigns beat up Rollins, but Reigns says he doesn’t care because if Orton is near him he’ll get knocked out. Orton says Reigns is forgetting who he is, but Reigns reminds Orton he beat him at Summerslam. The New Day cuts them off and Woods says this needs to stop, and and there’s no reason for negativity because they are champions and it’s a new day. Kofi tells them to let it all go, then Big E takes a few shots at each of them coming up short in big matches. He says they have an opportunity to prove themselves tonight, and Kane booked them in a match, all of them, right now.

Ryback comes to the ring for an interview with Renee Young, and he says he doesn’t know why Bray Wyatt attacked him, but it was stupid. Ryback talks about how he’s been held back all his life, but he takes negativity and fear and eats it and pushes forward. He says he feeds off the chants of ‘Feed Me More’ every week, and Bray has his attention, so he should listen clearly. Ryback says Bray doesn’t scare him, but he woke him up, because it’s now feeding time. Bray cuts him off and appears on the Titantron, and he says Ryback is scared, and it’s the fear that causes everyone to think they have something to lose, so he should run.
