We go back to the ring and The Judgment Day is introduced by Samantha Irvin. Priest calls on everyone to rise.

Ripley takes the mic and goes on about how The Judgment Day has been dominating, so who’s going to take them out? Priest names WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, and even Liv Morgan… so no, no one can stop The Judgment Day. Priest says if Sami and Seth show up tonight, he and Dominik will be sure to beat them again. Balor knocks Rollins for faking insanity. Balor says insanity is waking up every day for 7 years and looking at yourself, and seeing scars caused by Rollins, which remind him of a career Rollins ruined and spoiled. Balor can’t erase that but at SummerSlam he can inflict scars on Rollins, which will make him a little bit better because these will remind Rollins of when Balor beat him for the title.

Dominik goes to speak but the loud boos drown him out. He says all of The Judgment Day will have all the goodies at SummerSlam. Fans chant “you suck!” at Dominik and he yells back but they keep booing. Ripley says any idiot who wants to get in their way, take a page out of Raquel Rodriguez’s book – run, hide or learn to enjoy your time in rehab just like Owens and Liv. The music hits and out comes Rodriguez to a big pop.

Rodriguez rushes the ring as Ripley readies for a fight. They start brawling and go back & forth now. Rodriguez clotheslines Ripley to the floor and stands tall to a pop. Rodriguez follows and slams Ripley into the barrier, then spine-first into the ring post. Rodriguez continues man-handling Ripley at ringside. Dominik distracts her, allowing Ripley to take Raquel’s knee out from behind. Ripley laughs as officials rush over to check on Rodriguez. Ripley attacks the knee again, then backs off. The Judgment Day laughs at Rodriguez while officials tend to her.
