We are in Kansas City, Missouri and your announcers are Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Jerry Lawler.
Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring because he can and he will address the comments of his opponent at Wrestlemania from Raw.
Roman tells the people of Kansas City it is good to see them too. Roman says Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman think they can intimidate him . . .
Mark Henry interrupts because it is his Smackdown tradition. Mark says he came out here last week to find out just what you had in the ring. Mark says that he showed him something. Mark says if you didn’t see what happened to him last week, at least once, then he wants everyone to see what happened.
Mark says that he normally doesn’t say stuff like this, but he got what he deserved. Mark tells Roman, and the entire WWE Universe, he wanted to make it official.

Seth tells everyone, if you are expecting Randy Orton, you will be disappointed because he is not here. The greatest security team has blocked every entrance so Randy will not set foot in this arena tonight.
Seth says you can boo all you want. This is not for his protection, this is for Randy’s good. When he finally gets face to face with Randy Orton, the humiliation and suffering that he is going to dish out will be saved for Wrestlemania.
