We’re back and Lana is still getting her massage. The woman asks if she wants it deeper and, of course, Lana says she likes it deeper. The woman then leaves and in walks Bobby Lashley, just wearing a towel. He begins massaging Lana and she gets giddy. She says he has a gentle touch, and that Rusev was never as good. Lashley lifts the towel and Lana flips over, prompting a big smile from Bobby.
The King, Jerry Lawler, is in the ring for the contract signing. Lawler says an amazing match was announced last week for Crown Jewel: Tyson Fury Vs. Braun Strowman. He says there’s never been a match like this before in WWE – Mayweather/Big Show? – so he wants to get down to business. The King introduces Braun Strowman, who makes his way to the ring.
The undefeated Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, makes his way to the ring. The King says they’ve promised to keep things professional. Strowman says he knows a lot more about Fury than he might think; he knows he’s a hell of an athlete but he also has a huge ego. Strowman says Fury was at the premiere of SmackDown on Fox because he wanted to grab that spotlight. He says that won’t happen on his accord, because he’s going to pick him up and slam him on his head and give him his first loss ever. And there’s not a damn thing he can do about it.
Strowman signs the contract and spins it around to Fury. The boxing Champion signs it before grabbing the microphone. Fury says he’s a fan of Braun’s, and he was at SmackDown to see Braun Strowman. He says his kids can’t talking about how many trucks he’s flipped or who has gotten his hands. Fury says he isn’t out of his element in any ring, and he’s going to prove that at Crown Jewel. He promises to knock Braun out, then both men stand up and stare each other down. The King leaves the ring. Strowman smashes the table with his fists and roars. Fury, meanwhile, breaks a pen in half as the fans are thoroughly unimpressed.
