Renee Young was backstage with The New Day for an interview. Kofi took the mic, put on a wig, and interviewed the New Day himself. They were confident of winning tonight and then at SummerSlam against the Bludgeon Brothers.
AJ Styles hits back at Samoa Joe
AJ Styles came out next to respond to Samoa Joe's statements from last week. AJ said that a lot of trash talk goes on in the ring but Samoa Joe made it personal last week when he called out his family. He called out Joe because Joe knows AJ's wife and kid. He said that Joe and himself shared a cockroach infested apartments and stale pizza in the past but now he'd thrown that away.
AJ added that at SummerSlam, Joe wouldn't be walking out WWE champion but he would be lucky to walk out at all.
