The Bloodline left the ring for Roman Reings and Johnson to be the only ones inside with Rhodes and Rollins. Rhodes began by claiming he felt lucky to be in the ring and that all four men should take a moment. However, he did ask if Johnson had the power to issue this challenge. He claimed that since Johnson accepted Reigns as The Tribal Chief, he was in charge. Johnson quickly shut them down and restated the challenge.

Rollins was quick to get in Johnson’s face and accept the challenge. Johnson claimed that he was a member of the TKO Board and that he was Rhodes’ boss. The Rock even called Rhodes a mistake. This led to Rhodes slapping The Rock before the show cut off.
