Lilith stood in her office, with all the referees. On the far right side stood the United States Champion, Rahzel. The opposite side was Roman Reigns, the WWE Champion.
Lilith: I called you both here because at Summerslam, I want the both of you to blow the roof off in Toronto.
To do that, I want the two to scout each other. Up close and personal. That's why you two will team up tonight.
The two opponents wasn't liking that plan as they weren't going to team with each other.
Roman: I'm not teaming with him.
"Do you think I'm going to pull a Seth Rollins on you? If I wanted to, I would take a steel chair and crush your throat."
The two Champions started to get a little rowdy, causing the refs to hold the two of them away.
Lilith: You two will team up. If one of you walk out or attack each other during the match, I will strip both of you of your titles. I don't think you'll like that, would you?
I didn't think so. Both of you will be in the #1 Contenders Gauntlet Match. In fact, you'll be starting it. Good luck.
Tom: This will be interested to watch. The Big Dog and the Big Bad Wolf on the same side.
Graves: They are two dangerous substances that are ready to explode.
Saxton: Corey is right. These two will explode.
