*Hit Row in the ring…the Montreal crowd is hot & they’re NOT on board with a new Hit Row rap…LIGHTS OUT…Bray Wyatt & Uncle Howdy appear on either side of the ring…they clear the ring…Bray tells Montreal, “You’re welcome”…Bray says whichever man walks out alive between Bobby Lashley & Brock Lesnar should RUN!

*Sami Zayn to the ring & Montreal goes batshit crazy…it’s a 7+ minute sustained standing ovation, with chants from “SAMI! SAMI!” to “Olé!” to “YOU DESERVE IT!” to what I can only assume was “F-U ROMAN!” as Fox had to mute the broadcast for more than a minute…when Sami finally manages to speak, it’s short & sweet…he gives the crowd some French…then warns Roman Reigns that he’s facing the entire city of Montreal & “YOU ARE GOING DOWN!”
