During the show, Je’Von Evans came out to the ring for an interview with Jackie Redmon. Evans talked about his upcoming King of the Ring tournament match against Jey Uso and claimed he will win it and become this year’s King of the Ring winner. This led to Paul’s music playing and him with a wrapped up arm and Austin Theory coming out to interrupt.

Paul told Evans that he has untapped potential but he can’t be on his own and offered him a spot in the vision. Evans responded rejecting the offer and Paul responded back stating that it wasn’t an invitation for Evans to join The Vision, it was a mandate and he is in The Vision. Evans responded telling Paul to get out of the ring or he would leave with no arms. Evans then took off his sweatpants and threw them in Theory’s face and called for a referee so that they could have a match right now, which led to a referee coming out for the impromptu match.

Following Je’Von Evans’ victory over Theory due to a disqualification by Bron Breakker, The Vision attacked Evans leading to the Street Profits music playing and Montez Ford coming out to the stage. Ford then motioned for someone else to come out, which was Dawkins making his surprise return. The Street Profits then ran into the ring to save Evans and cleared out The Vision.

This was Paul’s first appearance since this past May’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show due to a torn triceps injury and surgery. This was Dawkins’ first appearance since this past May due to a storyline injury at the hands of the Vision.
