We see the hype video for the main event tonight, which will see a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion crowned. Christian says the match is a tossup and he can’t make a prediction. Alex Riley picks Bray Wyatt, while Booker T picks Randy Orton.

We go backstage with Byron Saxton, who is with Roman Reigns. He asks Reigns how he plans to assess and attack his seven opponents tonight. Reigns says he has already assessed this situation, and all he has to do tonight as attack and then attack again. Reigns says he will leave as Champion and will be “the dog that runs the yard.”

Bryan says he doesn’t know when he is going to be back. He says the strength hasn’t come back in his arm, and there is talk of another surgery. He says he will be back, and when he is, he will be better than ever. Cole asks Bryan how he feels about someone becoming the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion tonight. Bryan says he’d rather be walking out here to compete and defend the title, but he has been battling an uphill battle since he started wrestling. He says when he comes back, he is going to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship again. Cole asks Bryan who the biggest threat in the Ladder Match is. Bryan says John Cena, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns. Cole asks Bryan how is honestly felt when he was stripped of the title without being told in person. Bryan says he felt disrespected, because none of them can beat him, so they have to strip him of the title. Bryan says one day, someone will wipe the smug look off of Stephanie McMahon’s face.

Bo Dallas’ music hits, and he makes his way to the ring. Dallas says he has been listening to everything Bryan has been saying, and says life isn’t about the destination, but it is about the journey. Dallas says Bryan can still climb the ladder of life and make his way back to the top, because all he has to do is Bo-Lieve. Bryan says he appreciates Bo’s concern, but says he is acting like a Bo-ner. Bryan tells Dallas to “Bo-Leave.” Bryan’s music hits and he leads the crowd in a “YES!” chant again as Dallas leaves the ring.
