We see The OG Bloodline walking backstage.

Nick Aldis is backstage with Nia Jax questioning her about what happened to Jade Cargill. Jax says she wants to take out Cargill at War Games and leaves. Nick Aldis runs up to Cody Rhodes and asks him about Kevin Owens as no one has seen him. Rhodes says he wouldn't be so sure that Owens isn't in the building and makes his way out to the ring.

Rhodes is pissed and he gets on the mic and says it's face to face time. He says he knows someone who isn't here, and that's Randy Orton but he doesn't believe Owens isn't here and calls out Kevin Owens. Owens appears in the crowd and says he's insulted because he's here because Cody Rhodes wanted him here. He says he's here in his best and Rhodes is in the ring in a track suit. Rhodes leaves the ring to get to Owens and officials stop him. Owens says things don't go on Rhodes' clock anymore. He asks Rhodes why he's so upset because everything is Rhodes' fault. Owens makes his way to Rhodes and stands on the announce table. He says for four years he fought The Bloodline and they tried to end his career and they couldn't. Then Rhodes comes back and Owens says he stood beside Rhodes. He was happy for Rhodes because Rhodes finished his story - and a few months after that when Reigns needed a partner, Rhodes teamed with him - the one guy who tried to take his career from him. So yes, this is all Rhodes' fault. Rhodes says this is enough and he says he's going to call this as it is and him teaming with Reigns has nothing to do with Owens. He calls Owens a victim and says his identity is being held down and that everyone hates him, but Owens self sabotages himself and he holds himself down. Rhodes says Owens has every accolade but he still has a chip on his shoulder and everyone knows how good Owens is except Kevin Owens. Rhodes brings up Bash in Berlin and says Owens blames Rhodes for the outcome. Rhodes says Orton didn't deserve what Owens did to him and he crossed the line. Rhodes says he's going to beat this lesson into Owens and he doesn't care where it is, it's coming and the ball is in Owens' court. Owens says he'll fight Rhodes when he says so and not when Rhodes does and when it does happen he's just doing his job. Owens says he did cross the line with Orton and he loves Orton but he hates Rhodes. Owens leaves through the crowd. Rhodes tells Owens that he doesn't think Owens hates him, but he hates himself. Rhodes says there isn't a line he won't cross either, when he takes on Owens.

Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn and The Usos sit backstage discussing Sikoa saying he expects them to surrender. They still need a fifth member and they bring up Rhodes and Reigns says no to Rhodes. Zayn suggests Seth Rollins and Reigns says no to him. Reigns says they don't need anyone else as this is all that matters and it's all they need. If they're together they're good, and if they're not they die together. Zayn asks for a plan, and Reigns says he doesn't know.

Rhodes walks backstage and Carmelo Hayes tells Rhodes Owens is telling the truth and they get into it. Nick Aldis breaks it up.

Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn make their way to the ring. As always, Tama Tonga loses his mind and starts barking and making noises. Sikoa tells Reigns he's not here to fight him, and he still loves him and loves them all and he never stopped loving but he needs them to understand something - if they join Sikoa's crew they can run this company for decades. He says they have no choice because they don't have a fifth man or a wise man and they need to surrender or the four of them will die where they stand. Reigns takes the mic from Sikoa and before he can speak, Paul Heyman comes out! He says there is no way to do War Games with a four -vs- five match. He says that doesn't compute for this wiseman and it won't be four -vs- five and it's going to be five -vs- five. CM Punk's music hits and Punk marches to the ring and all hell breaks loose in the ring. The OG Bloodline clears the ring, and The Uso's and Sami Zayn suicide dive on the New Bloodline outside.
