In Ring Segment: Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable
Benjamin makes fun of the Alabama fans sitting on their butts as their team won a title. Benjamin says Georga got robbed last night, just like they did last week. Gable and Benjamin blame the second referee for ruining things. Gable says that referee is just like all of the people in the crowd. They don’t know what it means to be a winner. A crime was committed last week and they demand justice. They are here to free the tag team titles. They didn’t lose to the Usos last week, they lost to instant replay. Gable demands the referee come to the ring right now. Daniel Bryan comes out and tells Gable and Benjamin that he understands how they feel. Bryan says he doesn’t care about how they feel about the Usos but he will not sit by and let them talk down to management. Benjamin says they didn’t say anything about management.
Bryan says referees are an extension of management. The referee’s decision is final. Benjamin yells that Bryan is damn right. The referee awarded them the titles. They won the match. Bryan says, no they didn’t. They pinned the wrong Uso.The referee did the right thing. The referee felt he did the right thing. Benjamin tells Gable to tell Bryan how he feels. Gable says Bryan is taking out the fact that Shane is mad at him on them. Gable asks Bryan what he wants. Does he want them to beat the Usos twice in one night? Bryan says that’s a great idea. At the Royal Rumble, The Usos will defend in a two-out-of-three falls match.
Backstage, Styles goes into the locker room to talk to Orton. Styles asks Orton if he wants to talk strategy or is Orton going to go out there and RKO everything that moves.

Nakamura walks in and says “not so fast”. Nakamura leans in and too sweets the WWE title. Nakamura says good talk and leaves.
