Paul Heyman says he is able to spot the “next big thing” in this industry, he knows the next big megastar will be LA Knight. The latter deserved his respect. LA Knight says he appreciates what Paul Heyman just said, but he won’t believe all his nonsense. Jimmy Uso tells him to shut up, they’re here to tell LA Knight he won’t make it to Fastlane.
The Bloodline surrounds the ring, but John Cena enters the ring, forcing the Bloodline back. LA Knight gets back on the mic and says everyone is talking about Fastlane, but he’s thinking about tonight. What if Jimmy Uso faced him tonight? Jimmy Uso agrees, while Paul Heyman seems to disagree.
