Finn Balor comes out to the ring and says he is not a moves guy, internet guy or a politics guy, he is the guy. He says he has accomplished a lot in his career and lists them from competing in Japan to winning the Universal Championship. He asks what’s next for him and asks who is going to get the Finn rub. Imperium’s music hits, Aichner and Barthel come out to tell Finn that Walter sends his regards. Finn attacks them outside the ring. He was about to drop kick Barthel into the barricade until Aichner lands an uppercut to Finn in mid air. They attack Finn and take him out as they ram his head into the steel steps.
