The Usos and Sami are in the locker room talking about what might happen when the Tribal Chief arrives.

They show what happened to L.A. Knight last week when he saw Uncle Howdy and they show Knight tied up and he had the mask on. Knight is then shown walking backstage.

L.A. Knight is back in the ring and calls out Bray Wyatt. Wyatt comes out with no mask but as Bray. Bray tells Knight he is sick of him and tired of this game they are playing. Bray tells Knight hasn’t touched him and he knows he doesn’t believe him, but he will give him one more chance to send his message and he better make it count. Bray gets in the ring and Knight attacks him. The screen lights up and lights go dim a figure comes from the smoke with a top hat and tips it toward Knight.

It’s Uncle Howdy as Knight looks confused and Bray just sits in the corner and both Bray and Uncle Howdy just begin laughing and Knight leaves the ring looking concerned.

Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa arrive.

Out in the ring next is Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. He starts by telling Sami Zayn he was going to have a good night, but we have a KO problem. Roman tells Sami they are going to team up and take Owens down. Sami says Owens acts like he is his only friend and then backtracks and says was his only friend.

John Cena appears on screen and says Owens asked him if he wanted to be his partner because Cena has not had a match in 2022 and time is running out. Cena says, “Hell yes, I will be your partner and we will take down the Bloodline on the last Smackdown of 2022.”
