Christian is back with The Peep Show. Christian says there are a lot of peeps in Brooklyn tonight. Christian welcomes them to The Peep Show and says he misses the crowd.

His guests tonight won the RAW Tag Team Championships on their very first night. His guests are Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan make their way to the ring. Christian welcomes them to the show. Rollins says it’s been… Jordan cuts him off and says it’s been amazing. Jordan gets loudly booed. Jordan says he knows they’re out here to talk about their upcoming title defense, but before he does he just wants to say (he’s cut off by the boos) it is an honor to be in Christian’s presence, as well as all the superstars and legends. The boos are getting louder and louder. Jordan says he wanted to thank the crowd for all their continued support, but not now. Most of all, he thanks his father Kurt Angle for assembling this incredible collection of talent. Jordan says his dad doesn’t suck. Jordan asks the crowd to give his dad a big round of applause.
The Bar makes their way to the stage. Sheamus says Jordan has got it all wrong. The superstars and legends have been lining up all day to get their photos and autographs because they don’t just set the bar… they are The Bar! Those same superstars and legends had the exact same sentiments in thinking they’ll reclaim their RAW Tag Team Championships this Sunday. Sheamus says they were thanked in advance for doing so.

She’s a goddess. Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair comes up and says the only reason she’s the champion is because she’s on Smackdown Live. Flair doesn’t think Bliss will be champion by WrestleMania. Bliss doesn’t have the size or the pedigree. To be the woman, you’ve got to beat the woman. If you don’t believe her, ask her father. Ric Flair comes up to her. Flair says Bliss is lovely and may be the champion tonight, but Charlotte will be the champion tonight, tomorrow, next week, next month, at WrestleMania, the night after WrestleMania, and until she decides to hang up her robe. Flair and Charlotte let out a big “WOO!”
