After a new opening video package, Baron Corbin is shown greeting Stephanie McMahon as she steps out of a limo. He tries to sing Happy Birthday to her until Triple H steps out of the car. She questions his decision to put himself in a title match last week and his ability to lead. She tells him to find two tag team partners to battle The Shield tonight.
When we go live to the arena, The Shield heads to the ring through the crowd. Ambrose gets things started by talking about The Shield being the three best workhorses in WWE.
Reigns starts to talk and the crowd immediately boos him. He puts over himself and Rollins as the top champions on Raw. Rollins talks about Braun Strowman trying to take them out by aligning with Ziggler and McIntyre. They call out Corbin and he comes out with Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre.
McIntyre and Ziggler try to tell Ambrose he would be better off without The Shield. They actually make a few good points. Roman tells them to stop talking and start fighting, but Corbin tells them the fight won't happen right now. He says Drew and Dolph are already booked tonight, but he has other partners to rely on.
