Braun takes the mic and he says to look at him. Clearly, he is not someone who is easy to miss. If you have a problem with him, he is not hard to find. He says he heard MVP on Raw and he tells MVP to come to the ring with Omos so you can see the real eyes of a monster.
MVP makes his way through the entrance but he is alone.
Porter tells Braun he wants to make this clear. He never referred to Braun as anything less than being a monster of a man. You were probably the biggest kid on the playground, biggest athlete in the locker room, and the strongest. That was until last week when you found yourself in the vicinity of a literal giant named Omos. You represent yourself as the Monster of All Monsters and they believe that. If you want to maintain that, I would advise you from staying away from Omos. Once they see you face to face with a literal giant, you will be exposed.
Braun tells this so called giant if he wants to show him, let’s do it at Crown Jewel.
Porter wants to make sure that was a challenge. He accepts.
Braun says everyone knows he is more for action than talking. Since you are out here by yourself and Omos decided not to show up.

Omos makes his way to the ring.

Kayla says she has heard that upper management was not happy with what happened last week and she wants to know if there were any repercussions.

He says he knows you doubt him, but I have been doubted my whole life and look where I am now. It’s true. I run my mouth a lot. It is because I am confident in myself and my abilities. I don’t need Paul Heyman talking for me. I don’t need two guys who are the same guy to protect him. He doesn’t need a guy named Solo who is never alone. He says he has no friends like Sami Zayn. I have the desire to be the best. I know I am the underdog, as I should be.
