Tonight's show begins with Miz TV. Tonight's special guests are Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Sami Zayn is the first person to be introduced. The Miz wants to know "Who is Sami Zayn?" As soon as Sami talks about himself, however, Miz cuts him off, wanting to know about his rivalry with Kevin Owens. As before, Sami Zayn doesn't know when the rivalry between him and Owens started, especially given their friendship together. The Miz introduces Kevin Owens, who shows up on his own time and says he did what he did in NXT to further his career, and has nothing to do with their history. However, he says what Sami Zayn did on Monday was personal, and that he is the victim, not Sami. Sami says he's here to stay, and his first order of business is to take the Intercontinental Championship from Owens at WrestleMania 32. Kevin Owens tells him this isn't NXT, this is The Kevin Owens Show, and that it just won't be happening. When Sami challenges Owens right here and now, Owens calls Sami Zayn delusional, and is about to leave when Neville shows up. Neville tells Owens they have some unfinished business, and that the Intercontinental Championship would look good around his waist. The Miz butts in, saying this is his show, that Neville is not an approved guest and that he should be the one getting a shot at the title considering that he's main evented WrestleMania. Zayn tells him to stay out of this, as this doesn't concern him and his days of main eventing WrestleMania are far, far behind him.

Jericho says he's done so much for WWE and has never gotten hurt once in 17 years, and yet everyone still chants for AJ. He tells all the AJ Styles fans to go to hell, and says he is "the only thing" as he keeps hearing about "the next big thing."

He then says the miracle here is that he will be named the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and that he will go on to win the World title and save pro wrestling. When he calls out Dixie Carter, however, he gets Drew Galloway, who calls him out on his entitlement complex, and tells him to stop running his mouth like a little bitch and earn his title shot.

Dean Ambrose tells Triple H to suck it, but Triple H says "Roadblock" is just a name from marketing and that Ambrose is a speed bump or pothole at best. He also says Ambrose has the same problem with authority as Roman Reigns. After more insults tossed back and forth, Ambrose dares Triple H to get in the ring.
