Reigns hits a Superman Punch and sets up for the Spear but Drew takes him out with the Claymore.

Drew calls out Reigns for using The Bloodline. He says now that Reigns is alone and face-to-face with him, he can see fear in him. He says he will rip him apart at Clash at the Castle and take the titles away from him. He further says that he wants a fight now. Reigns attacks him and the two engage in a brawl. Drew sets up for the Claymore but Zayn takes the bullet for Reigns.

Drew says Reigns doesn't deserve to be champion because he doesn't represent the titles the way they need to be.

Reigns says McIntyre is beneath him before he interrupts him.

Reigns says he's here every week so every now and then people are going to say reckless stuff. He says if anybody is saying that they are the face of the company or the main event or have been carrying the company, it's all false. Reigns says that there is only man that does all those things and that is your Tribal Chief!

Reigns asks Montreal to Acknowledge him!

Wishing @HeymanHustle a speedy recovery.
