Before the match starts, the tag team champions, AJ Styles and Omos make their way to the ring. AJ thanks everyone for showing up for the State of the Tag Team Division Address. AJ reminds everyone that WWE will be on the road again. AJ says they will be obligated to defend their titles, live and in person, against the best. The teams in the ring are who they want. The 11 time champions, the New Day. You are legendary, national treasures. Think about what we can do together. We can have the same match with did at Wrestlemania. We won that match. Mace and T-Bar. AJ says they don’t know a lot about you guys but nobody does. You are big, mean, and like to fight. AJ says he has his own personal colossus who is bigger and meaner than you. Lince is out there alone because Gran Metalik got hurt. You are brave. In that ring, you do things I have only seen in video games, but he has done his entire career. AJ says that Lince was probably his favorite superstar.
The Viking Raiders. We can definitely do it with you guys around the world. Then we have RK-Bro. Randy Orton, 14 time champion. Tag team champion. Legend Killer. Riddle is a rising star. We have all seen you two and it makes no sense to anybody. Your chemistry works. The tag team division led by the unbelievable, unstoppable, incredible, magnificent, stupendous, and handsome.

Alexa says once upon a time, a little girl was lost, but she was rescued by the darkness and it taught her everything. On the way, she unlocked something truly evil. We see Lilly. Alexa says she is just getting started.
Elias is in the ring.
Elias says there will be no other introduction tonight. You could have been walking out with the new tag team champions but it is Jaxson Ryker’s fault. If he had done what he said, they would be champions. Jaxson became completely unhinged. For his career and sanity, he had to get away.
Elias says he had no choice. The first time he met Jaxson, he didn’t see this unbridled potential. He looked into Ryker’s cold eyes and he saw the ghosts of war. He saw a man who would go into battle, but not someone who would go to battle for me. I walked out on Ryker, but that does not mean there is a universal truth and that is WWE stands for Walk With Elias.
Jaxson Ryker attacks Elias from behind with his new ‘is that Miro’ look. Ryker throws the guitar up the ramp and then he continues the attack until referees can pull Ryker off.
We go to commercial.
