Roman Reigns was out next on SmackDown with Paul Heyman and after the typical introduction from Heyman, Goldberg's music hit and he joined Reigns in the ring. The Tribal Chief got on the mic to exclaim about Goldberg 'running up on him' said that it was 'his' ring before handing him the mic.

Goldberg said that he needed to apologize and said that Roman Reigns was not 'next' but on the subject of the Universal Championship, 'he [Goldberg] was next', as SmackDown went off the air.
