Back live, Austin Theory said it was really ingenious for the masked man to intervene. He said it was a fight to win, especially since it involved “you two assholes.” Adam Pearce comes out and says play time is over. He suggests taking this to the other side and treating it like a man.

He tells Theory that he was messed up by the masked man and now his Elimination Chamber dreams are over. He then turns to Reid and asks him to come into the room so he can stick his head in and kick him.

Logan interrupts him and asks if Knight means the same as the car he let pass. Knight taunts Logan and says he will come too. He tells Pearce he’s not going to run the show, but there are three people in the ring. He didn’t always see eye to eye with The Usos, but there are two of them, and there’s him.

He said Finn Balor deserved a title shot in Belfast, but suffered a future loss in Chicago.

AJ says he wants to fight the best, including Bayley, Laila, Rhea, Iyo, Kabuki Warriors, Judgment Day, Charlotte, and Alexa. But no matter what, it always comes back to Becky.
