\nNew Day heads to the ring. Xavier Woods and Big E talk about the incredible journey of New Day over the past few years. They thanks the fans for being with them along the way. Big E also says that New Day has discussed walking away from WWE in light of all of the unfair obstacles being thrown at Kofi. Woods says the toughest thing for him has been the poor treatment Kofi has received lately and over his WWE career. However, New Day can’t make the decision to leave until they get some answers, and Vince McMahon is the only person who has the answers they need. Therefore, Woods calls out Vince.<\/p>\n

Vince McMahon heads to the ring. As Vince begins to speak, Daniel Bryan interrupts as he and Rowan come out to the stage. Bryan doesn’t want Vince to placate New Day’s “fragile” egos. Bryan calls New Day a stale novelty act and says that if they want to leave, let them. New Day can be replaced by any three random people and be even more successful. Kofi lost at Fastlane and Elimination Chamber. Bryan says Vince has been right about Kofi every step of the way. The fans are wrong.<\/p>\n

Woods says Bryan is scared to face Kofi one on one. He says Bryan has turned into everything Bryan used to fight against. Bryan is a hypocrite. Bryan begins to respond, but Vince tells everyone to shut up. Vince says that New Day isn’t going to quit. They’re not quitters, and they never seriously thought about it. Vince says Kofi is a B+ player, and he wonders if Woods and Big E are B+ players as well. He says that Kofi has run out of opportunities, but Woods and Big E will have a chance to put Kofi into Wrestlemania. If Woods and Big E can run a tag team gauntlet, then Kofi will get his Wrestlemania match.<\/p>\n
