Randy Orton & Cody Rhodes SegmentÂ
Randy Orton: Before I get into what it is I want to talk about with you tonight, Cody, I got a question for all of you. Did you watch Monday Night Raw, this past Monday? Thought so. Did you see my man, Cody Rhodes face Jey Uso in the Semi-Final Match? So, I don’t know, I have a feeling you all feel the same way that I do. If you and Jey Uso, YEET, aren’t in the running for Match Of The Year come Slammy time, then something is wrong in this world. Hell of a match, dude on Raw, it was a pleasure to watch. With that being said, the reason I’m out here is because I know what you’re going to say, already. You want this crown. You want to be King Of The Ring. And if it was any other different circumstance under the sun, I would agree, I would want to see that crown on your head, too. But the circumstances are not different. While you may want this crown, I need this crown, I need to be King Of The Ring. Not just because, if I win that crown, I go on to SummerSlam, and I have the opportunity to be a 15-Time World Champion, that’s all well and good.
But another reason I want that crown is, because that crown stands for redemption, redemption because I was here last year, same time, same place. I made it to the finals of the King Of The Ring Tournament, and I fell short to GUNTHER. And I got to right that wrong. I gotta right that wrong, but another thing that crown stands for is retribution, retribution against John Cena. Retribution because, at Backlash, Cody, in my hometown, John Cena embarrassed me. Not only in my hometown of St. Louis at Backlash did he embarrass me, he embarrassed me in front of my friends, in front of my family. My wife and kids were sitting in the front row, I need to right that wrong as well. Now, Cody, everybody knows how we feel each other, how much we respect each other, but I can’t let how I feel about you personally get in the way of this goal. Which is why, all the cards I’m laying my hand out on the table for you to see, man, and I’ll tell you out of respect, face-to-face, man-to-man, there is nothing, there is no single thing I won’t do to make sure that I leave Saudi Arabia with that crown on top of my head. And that goal, that goal is gonna come true, because tomorrow night at Night Of Champions, I’m going to re-introduce you to the three most dangerous letters in WWE, RKO.
Cody Rhodes: Randy, I’ve heard everyone in this tournament talk about why they want to be King Of The Ring. And I would say that, my need to become King Of The Ring is more justified than anyone’s, but nobody has let me get a word in edge wise lately, and here you are telling me, if I heard this correctly, that John Cena embarrassed you? Embarrassed you? Between you and John Cena, you have 30 World Championships, embarrassment is never a word I would attach to the pair. Randy, I remember everything, everything. I remember my very first night in this company, on Monday Night Raw, do you know what happened?
You slapped my dad across the face. I remember the bad, sure, but I remember the good. Just a few months ago, standing in this ring, hearing everything that a student could ever want to hear from his teacher. I am so grateful for you, Randy Orton. I am so thankful for you, Randy Orton. I know that you think you need to win this, but I’m telling you, no matter if it’s John Cena or CM Punk, Randy, I just need it a little bit more. Tomorrow night, when it’s all said and done, RKO will still be the three most dangerous letters in all of WWE, but Randy, Randy, you will not be King Of The Ring, because I will.

Asuka, Jade Cargill, Naomi Segment
Wade Barrett: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, it is an entire weekend of champions here. And my guest this evening will not only be competing for this rather dashing Queen Of The Ring Crown, tomorrow night, at Night Of Champions, they will also be battling for an opportunity to compete against their brands’ World Champion at SummerSlam. So, without further ado, please welcome my first guest, “The Storm” Jade Cargill. And her opponent tomorrow night, in the final of the Queen Of The Ring Tournament, “The Empress Of Tomorrow” Asuka. Ladies, thank you both for joining me. Jade, I would like to start with you. What makes you so confident that you are going to defeat Asuka tomorrow in the Queen Of The Ring Final at Night Of Champions?
Jade Cargill: You know what, Wade, when people see Asuka, they get nervous. Me, I see an opportunity to show you all exactly why I came here. You see, I have purpose. This is not pressure, this is purpose. And at SummerSlam, I don’t plan on just taking the title, I plan on taking the whole damn throne.
Asuka: Okay. You are strong, but power is not everything. I have skills and experience. Do you know who I am? I am Asuka. Because no one is ready for Asuka.
Jade Cargill: I promise you, you are going to regret that.
Naomi: Yo, yo, yo, wake it up, wake it up. You see this? This briefcase means that you two can fight over the crown, but I have all the power. I can do whatever I want. Maybe I’ll cash in after Tiffany and Nia destroy each other in the Last Woman Standing Match. Or maybe I’ll wait until one of you goes for the championship to cash in. Jade, you hate the fact that no matter what you do, I’m the one with the power to take it all away, just like I took the Tag Team Titles, just like I took away months of your career, just like I took away The Big Three. It brings me pure pleasure when I think about how sweet it would be to ruin the biggest night of your career. I advise you to proceed with caution.

John Cena & CM Punk SegmentÂ
John Cena: Get used to it, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is what a winner looks like. I’m a winner. CM Punk is a loser, because he’s been out cornered, he’s been out maneuvered, and he’s out of tricks, because I am a genius. Night Of Champions is now a formality, and CM Punk can do nothing about it.
– CM Punk makes his entrance with John Cena’s Basic Thuganomics theme song blaring in the background. The words PunkLife is showed on the titantron. Punk is rocking a Chicago Cubs Jersey, a steel chain, a drug free knuckles and a Chicago Bulls Hat.
CM Punk: Yo, check it. This is Basic Punkanomics. Don’t adjust your television sets, your eyes are working just right. This clown plagiarized my pipe bomb, so now I’m stealing word life. And you had to rip me off to cut your best promo, just to distract from the fact that we all see you move in slow-mo. Remember when he used to rap? Yeah, you deserve all the criticism, you’re like a Temu Macklemore, but with Mackleless rhythm. And he said I’m a problem, he called me a player hater. Let’s be honest, John Cena has buried more talent than The Undertaker. That’s why he’s the champ, and he went and loss all of his respect. But hey, John, I get it, I’d retire too if this place rehired my ex. If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins, or fixed your bald spot, you wouldn’t be a pro wrestler, you would be a Boston Mall Cop. But hey, he gets good movie roles, that much is a fact, but then we see Batista act, and we realized that John ain’t that.
Same shirt, same hat, man, your persona is straight tragic. You’re like a fish belly white Hulk Hogan, but somehow more problematic. Yo, yo, when it comes to the best in the world, I’m your vessel, because millions chant my name, and at you, they chant, you can’t wrestle. Get it in while you can, because in six months, he’ll be gone, and I’ll still be here having fun. He won’t have time for you little people anymore, he’ll be busy washing underwear for James Gunn. Yeah, he’s a superhero now, he works for DC. But no matter how hard you try, you still are and always will be The Marine to me. And that’s straight to DVD, better find a PS3, I now understand that you can’t see me. It’s a hell of a catchphrase, John, but now it’s all done, because we all see you, and we’re looking at a washed up bum. 14 years ago, today, I dropped a legendary pipe bomb, and you tried to make it all about you, because that’s what you do, John. You’re a leech. You’re a phony. You’re a fraud. You’re an ass-kiss. 17 time World Champion, but ain’t never been in my class. Before you go, John, there’s one more wish to make. Tomorrow night, you’re gonna lose to Kendrick, because bitch, you’re my Drake.
Punk drops the microphone and celebrates with the Saudi Arabia crowd as the show goes off the air.
