Thanks, guys, Imperium, can we expect more of the same when Gunther,
you take on Seamus on the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown next week?
And when the three of you take on the Brawling Brutes next Saturday at
Extreme Rules?
>> Sheamus got what he deserved tonight.
He did exactly what a low class man like him would do.
He brings an object, a weapon, into a fight, into a sport of men.
So next week, I'm gonna do exactly the same as I did in Cardiff.
I'm gonna humiliate, I'm gonna expose Sheamus for the final time.
And the real disgrace is what takes place the day after.
We train our whole lives to stand here proudly representing our sport.
And we get forced into a stipulation that has nothing to
do with this precious sport.
>> That's exactly right, that match next week is 100% a disgrace.
But if that's what we'll have to do to show the Brawling Brutes once and for
all what Imperium stands for, then that's what we'll do.
That's what we'll do.
>> That is exactly what we are going to do.
First the Ring General Gunther is going to defend his
WWE Intercontinental Championship successfully against Sheamus.
And only one day later, at Extreme Rules, we are going to make each and
every one of The Brawling Brutes disappear.
And you know what happens after that?
After that, we're gonna keep working towards our goal, towards our mission,
that is to restore the honor of our beloved sport.
Because we are Imperium, and to us,
the mat, Is sacred.
>> Gentlemen, thank you so much for the time, best of luck next week, and
we will send it back to you guys in the studio.
>> Thanks so much guys, and yes it has been made official,
next week Ricochet will have a match against Solo Sikoa.
Solo, what should we expect next week when you take on Ricochet?
>> Megan, just before you ask that question, I couldn't help but
notice that you didn't really congratulate Solo or myself, actually,
on our big tag team went tonight over Ricochet and Madcap Moss.
Okay, good, Jey, Usos, you're good.
Good, you know what, when it comes to The Bloodline, this is good,
the more the merrier, because it shows a united front, right?
And when it comes to actually taking care of business,
The Bloodline is always united, right?
>> Right, right.
>> So there you go.
So even if people wanna whisper about potential tension within The Bloodline,
even if it's only coming from one direction, okay?
None of that really matters, because when it comes to taking care of business,
The Bloodline handles business.
And next week, Solo will handle Bloodline
business when he bodies Ricochet, right?
I don't think there's much more to be said than that.
We're good, we good?
>> We good.
>> Right.
Dawg, was he like that when you were growing up?
Because he is like at a ten with me all the time.
Seriously, if he was like that with you growing up, that's a lot.
That's a lot, I understand, I understand why you are the way you are.
>> Thanks, guys, Drew, we all saw how things started out there tonight
with Austin Theory, and it ended with you hitting him with a strap.
Were you at all trying to send a message to Karrion Kross?
>> If I was sending a message to Karrion Kross,
I wouldn't have stopped using the strap on Theory.
Tonight was more of a teaching moment for Theory.
He's young, he makes mistakes.
I made mistakes when I was younger too.
And tonight he learned that you don't run your mouth about Drew McIntyre, or
you suffer the consequences.
And if you bring your friends along, it just so happens I've got friends too.
Johnny Gargano and I go way back, Kevin Owens and
I, a lot of mutual respect going on there.
We beat their butts, we sent them packing.
And in the end, Kross, I'm gonna leave the last words to you, our resident Timelord.
At Extreme Rules you can't get away from me.
I'm gonna beat you, and beat you, and beat you.
And the only countdown you'll be begging for is three, two, one.
>> All right, you guys, we'll send it back to you in the studio.
