Back from the break and Kevin Owens is spraying cologne in Kurt Angle’s office. Owens says it smells in the office. Angle says it must be left over from the toilet incident last week. Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre walk in. Angle says if McIntyre loses to Seth Rollins tonight, he’s banned from ringside at Extreme Rules. Ziggler is not happy. Owens says this is Angle playing favorites. McIntyre agrees to the stipulation, and they walk off.

We return live to the ring, where Elias is sitting on a stool in the center of the ring. Elias greets the crowd, plays a riff, and tells them it’s been two weeks since he’s performed. That can feel like a lifetime, but there’s a reason. Elias says he has been in a studio recording his debut album, which the audience cheers for. Elias says it is real and happening because of one universal truth that WWE stands for Walk With Elias! Elias sings about Bobby Roode and Finn Balor having the personality of a toilet seat. Elias says he can’t stand Boston and wants to punch the face of everyone with a Boston accent. A loud “You suck” chant fires up. Elias says he’s beginning to sense that they don’t appreciate him for all that he is. Elias says his friend Tom Brady warned him about this. Brady told him to pretend to like them. Elias cannot do it anymore. Fortunately someone appreciates him for all he is. Kurt Angle can learn a few things from this man: Constable Corbin.

Constable Baron Corbin makes his entrance and asks for a tune. Corbin wants to play a lullaby for Finn Balor. Corbin trips over the word “lullaby.” Corbin sings a version of Itsy Bitsy Spider and criticises Balor. Bad stuff all around. The babyfaces make their entrances as we take to the break.

*Commercial Break*

We see Angle and Owens backstage again. Owens is offering Angle a bite of his food when Braun Strowman walks-in. KO freaks-out and Angle tells him to calm down, he invited him here. Angle says they can’t keep doing this, so on Sunday, Owens will face Strowman inside a steel cage. Suffice to say, Owens isn’t happy. Strowman starts sniffing the air and says Owens stinks of fear, then sprays him with air freshener before leaving.
