Next the contract signing for the tag team match at Fastlane John Cena & A.J. Styles VS. Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa.
After A.J. is introduced, it shows Jimmy Uso beating up Styles as Cena runs to the back from the ring Solo then dives off a rafter onto Styles through a table and the electronics in the back. Cena made it to Styles but Jimmy and Solo already had the damage done. Styles is on a stretcher on his way to an ambulance after the break.
As A.J. is loaded into the ambulance, Mia Yim goes with him and Karl Anderson before he gets in the Ambulance, he tells Cena he has been telling A.J. not to get involved with this Bloodline stuff.
Back in the ring, Solo was throwing everything out of the ring from the contract signing. Paul gets the microphone, as Paul does his opening, he is getting booed loudly. Paul says he has in his hand a contract signed by John Cena without any tag team partner for Fastlane. Jimmy then grabs the microphone off Paul.
Jimmy says look what happens when you mess with the Bloodline. And Jimmy says if he was as smart as he thinks he is he would have jumped in that ambulance with A.J. and get far away from the Bloodline. Jimmy started saying Cena was the twos, and Cena comes out and goes for an AA on Solo. Jimmy superkicks Cena. Solo then hits Cena with the Samoan Spike.
Jimmy and Solo continue to stomp on Cena. Jimmy goes to the top rope and does Cena’s you can’t see me and splashes Cena. Then gets up and signs the contract and hands it to Solo who also signs the contract.
Jimmy then lays the contact folder on Cena and he and Solo stand with arms raised.
