Reigns says that this is his ring and he'd waste no time putting his fist across Rusev's face. Lana and Reigns trade more insults with each other and then we have Reigns and Rusev face to face. The stare down is interuppted as Lana states Rusev will fight on their terms. Lana and Rusev leave the ring and will fight Reigns later in the main event.
