– Logan Paul opened the show and announced that he’s holding a press conference on Saturday. He dared Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to come. Paul Heyman returned and told Paul that he’d have to “handle” him if he didn’t make the smart choice and pick a fight with someone else. Paul noted that he’d only need one lucky shot to beat Reigns. Sami Zayn tried to intervene and got dropped by a stiff punch from Paul.

– The broadcast team later confirmed that Reigns will attend the press conference.
